BlackNoise Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I've given up on a PC and next-gen release. R* never needs to say it isn't coming, because they already told us. So waiting just seems ridiculous at this point. It will be great if it ever releases, and people will still buy it, but I definitely don't expect anything at this point.

Xerukal Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Officially, they have told us no such thing. Regarding the PC version, anyway. If they were factually 100% sure other versions of the game were not possible, they'd say it. They did so with Red Dead Redemption. And they even kind of did it with LA Noire. Though they "changed their minds" with that one. Edited April 19, 2014 by Xerukal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleph-Zero Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Waiting for mid 2015 release. That's just plain unrealistic and nonsensical. Why? It's far more unrealistic to think it's coming this year with all the work left to do in the last gen. And all the latest rumors are pointing to an early-mid 2015 release.

It's far more unrealistic to think it's coming this year with all the work left to do in the last gen. And all the latest rumors are pointing to an early-mid 2015 release. For the last time, Rockstar Games is not a single solitary studio. They have many branches working on different projects all at the same time. Every major developer is like this. Even IF the Newswire is focused on last-gen V content right now, this can change in an instant. And the "work" they're putting in is probably also being optimized for the next-gen and PC versions of the game. Perhaps this is the reason for the abnormal wait for heists? Has that occurred to anyone? The same heists that were actually leaked just a month or so ago and were pretty playable, aside from some obvious unfinished features that determined rewards and such. "Rumors" are irrelevant. "Rumors" pointed to a November announcement last year. And "rumors" kept popping up about all kinds of other things related to V and NG/PC. A 2015 release is beyond unrealistic. It is largely illogical. UNLESS the next-gen and PC experience will be a HUGE departure from what we saw in 2013. Which it probably will, visually and performance-wise. But It'll still be the same old GTA, and noone is going to try it out just for the extra performance and shiny graphics when the "ultra next-gen" craze is going on in 2015.

Antaxi Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I don't care... even if I get disappointed I'll follow my "sense" this time. I don't see any other possible scenario for this to be in a different way, I know they are clever enough to strike in the right time and the next two weeks are the right time, later then that it won't be so good and the window frame will be too small. If Rockstar intend to announce the game before WD release they have to release it very close or even before it, it would be stupid if they announced it close to WD release when everyone is ready to purchase it and expect them to hold that purchase if the game it's still a month away. So screw it... I'm on board of my own hype train now and it will only stop in V Announcement City or derail in Disappointment Valley. Don't screw it up again Rockstar, I already bought my ticket... Haha. I've been saying this to myself since last year. "They have to announce in the next couple weeks, or else they're dumb. It's past the right time." Now i finally freed myself from the Hype. Waiting for mid 2015 release. mid 2015 it's possible at all, because R* just forget about us. thats only truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmoo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) It will come when it comes for NG and PC and not a second before All this talk is nothing more than speculation Edited April 19, 2014 by marmoo Antaxi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they "changed their minds" with that one. Officially, they told us what platforms GTA V was releasing for. They did so with RDR when? They said why they didn't release it for PC, over a year later, but when did they officially say they weren't releasing on PC? Do they actually announce what platforms they aren't releasing for? Or do they just say stuff like this... IGN: GTA V is only confirmed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Why not the PC, Wii U and so on? Dan Houser: Everything else is up for consideration. That's all I can give you. The main thing is we are not... we are a third-party publisher. We're not Nintendo, we're not Sony, we're not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there's the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market. If that's on Apple we put something on Apple. Wherever it might be. I think that's the fun in what we do. We see ourselves as a content company that uses technology. We don't make it; we use it to make the most fun stuff. The point I was making is they never need to say anything else. Everything else is up for consideration. So many people are either expecting a "yes or no", but why do you expect that? I expected that with RDR, until I just gave up and eventually R* said why. Was there ever an official "No" confirmation? Do they even need to do that?

Achi28 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Mid 2015 would be 2 years after(!!!!!) the releas of the LG. That's just ridiculous. If it would come out in that timeframe I really would not get the game, because there are so many (better) NG games at that point. Destiny, Evolve, WD, probably forgetting some other and ofcourse god damn Witcher 3 which is already looking to be the most insane NG game for 2015. Good luck competing with that. Ps: Just please announce it next week Rockstar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivaG Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) My hype is so low. They will need to make some big promotional sh*t, cause after all this wait about the thing you guys know what, hype is 0... Indeed. They need to do quite a bit of promotion like releasing videos showcasing new features that one can get only on the PC and Current Gen consoles version of the game followed by an epic launch trailer. I would be happy if they release a separate PC trailer though. Edited April 20, 2014 by sivaG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they "changed their minds" with that one. Yep I agree with that. I also think they don't need to announce the game, just release it on a random day and say "Now available for PC/NG" at steam and retail. that would be enough to cause chaos around the gaming world :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARC8_1982 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) The only sure thing here is that at some point,there will be V on other platforms - PC,NG.Console player waits for High life update and Heists,and these will be released in the coming months,as for SP updates,let's hope they're going to resemble GTA:EFLC,but its a matter of not so distant future.Well....either way gamers will need lots of patience.......better late than never i guess.

Do you think Sony would release a PS5 and then another branch of sony would release PS6 months later while that other branch is still promoting PS5? Yeah no.

A PS5 is a whole new product you are comparing the incomparable. Rockstar has already a story, the map, everything, it just has to be programmed on other systems. There are many studios which are working on their own tasks. Why shouldn't they also announce a new game? Because there is still a lot to do for GTA V? No. I SHADOWFOX I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no.Are you seriously comparing an additional platform release of a game to the release of a videogame console and its successor? I'm afraid, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Xerukal's point is valid. Rockstar consists of more than just one studio, and each of them is doing another job. There is Rockstar New York who are planning everything related to marketing, and they are the ones who post on the official Rockstar newswire, as far as I'm aware. There is Rockstar North who develope GTA, and there are Rockstar Leeds and Toronto who are porting games to mobile platforms, next-gen platforms, PC, and more. And there are plenty more studios who either censore games for the Japanese market, develop other games, et cetera. GTA Online is probably controlled by various of studios at the same time, since there are millions of players and moderation is required due to hackers and cheaters. There are various departments, each of them is doing their own job and they do not affect each other as long as we aren't talking about the development of games. In that case, it's a different story because if a game is near completion then all Rockstar studios work on it simultaneously. Anyway, the bottom line is that these are two entirely different cases that aren't compareable at all. A game is a game. A console is a console. Two different things.

BS_BlackScout Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think this lack of info S1LV3R is facing probably means we're really getting closer, and the last information is true, it's like: "Why send him new info, if we're almost announcing it."

S1LV3R_W0LF Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah that's what I think so too, 3 weeks is the longest time that they don't say a word since we started these conversations, so it has to mean something. And don't forget the job listing about a month ago for a trailer in highest quality... the need for someone new to create a trailer means an announcement of something that needs to cause a big impact like the first game trailer did. And they wouldn't need to hire someone for a DLC trailer. Even if I know for a fact that job list was indeed for PC/ NG announcement.

xeth004 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I also think that this week would be more than perfect for making the announcement. It's clear that they want this to blow out of the water with a massive surprise, and for that firstly they need us to not expect it at all. And this is kind of the case right now. Everyone is expecting an announcement, but for the release of the High Life update, not anything else. Lots of people are so sure about it coming this Tuesday, pretty much everyone's attention is on the Newswire double time. If a NG announcement happened, everyone would forget about the updates for a while, so they can easily push the HLU to May without a fuss, as it was intended in the first place (more likely). I'd love to believe in this, but I fear that the only thing we get this week is some fan arts and the announcement of the capture creator contest winners.

MaGnEz Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Would'nt it be cool if rockstar gave us a programme with the game both which was optional both on pc and next gen which would allow us to make our own content such as cars, people and guns which we could use, only in singleplayer to make it fair.
