Take Two Could Be Acquired By Activision

It's funny reading what some kids are saying about this. "GTA will turn more like COD". Will it f*ck.

You have to look on the brighter side and stop crying about it. If Activision bought Take Two, they'd have some of the best developers. They could produce some awesome games together. It doesn't mean they'd stop making games they already make.

 

Plus, either companies haven't published anything yet, so it's probably not going to happen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! If this happens, I will quit gaming forever!

 

Rockstar should join Bethesda Softworks, CD Projekt Red or even Koch Media(aka Deep Silver).

Bethesda?The Elder Scrolls:Los Santos

???

Fallout: Vice City

Why exactly are so many people worrying? Activision are not going to develop the games even if they do end up buying T-2. They'll only control the financial segment. Rockstar will still be making the games. The only possible difference could be that the games would be released at a faster rate.

They could release games at a faster rate even without Activision.

If their role is limited towards looking after the financial segment, then how could you possibly link such an association with the pace of the game development?

Clearly, the CEO's aren't stupid to turn a blind eye on matters related to Rockstar after the deal.

The entire process of Rockstar's management will be wide open for all who are part of the deal to decide or influence, which was not for them to know before acquiring a share into the profits.

Can someone confirm, does R* have the authority to 'secede' from Take2?

 

If this happens, I think we all would want R* to become their own publisher. Anyway, $2B? Did GTAV make as much money as that? Price seems low

@Kimle Saying Activision doesn't deliver broken games shows how much of a retard you are kid !

But GTA is developed by R* North and published by R* Games, Take-Two is just there Distributor.

 

(Someone fill me in on this stuff I have no idea)

Controlling financial segment means Activision might say: "according to sales, kids like dubstep, bright colours and lazers. Yes, you might end up copying Saints Row, your own clone. No, we don't give a f*ck about traditions. Do it right now."

 

Pretty much as when Brian Fargo sold Fallout franchise to Bethesda, back then we thought it was a good thing. Then Fallout 3 came out.

Maybe, Take-Two Interactive is just selling Rockstar North's Agent to Activision, it would make more sense in my opinion. I mean, Agent was in development by Rockstar San Diego since 2003, it has been announced in 2009 as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but we never knew anything about it. Most likely, Rockstar Games has just abandoned Agent, and Activision wants to own this IP.

Yeah seriously why is everyone so panicky? Evn if it does happen it doesn't necessarily mean the end of GTA or any of rockstar's other games. Hell if Activision buys T2 we might actually get heists finally!

However, you can't produce masterpieces in a rush.

 

EA and Activision are the cancer of gaming industry. They want the monopoly and thats never good.

Yep, you'd have to pay $20 for them and it would include bugs and glitches like never seen before

EA destroyed one of my favourite game series, Sim City in my opinion. When Maxis was an independant comany the quality was much higher.

 

Cheers.

Rockstar won't let that happen, if it does, they'd cancel the deal or move to a new studio.

The implications of releasing games at a faster rate if Activision started controlling Rockstar would be quite devastating. Activision has always been known for their game fatigue, and I assure you they would start making Rockstar shell out GTA's faster than we've never seen before, thus making GTA into a sh*tty series because it would be rushed. It wouldn't affect their game type but it would definitely affect their quality.

That said, I don't think Take-Two is that dumb when they know that they own some of the best selling and best IP's out there. They know what Activision do with their games. Also I think Rockstar has enough capital to secede from Take-Two, if worse comes to worst.

I don't mean to go off topic here, but I'm pretty sure as an American that English is the official language here.

No, he's right. No official language exists at the federal level.

Take-two is my favorite publisher though! Noooo!!!

 

Take EA instead Activision, no one likes EA...

Are you brain dead or something?

 

T2 isn't a publisher.

They haven't been publishers since 2004.

It's redundant as f*ck to say they are publishers nowadays.

Everyones mad about rockstar, but I'm seriously concerned about 2K. I play a lot of their games, if not more then GTA. Where ⅔ of my favorite games are gonna be bought out by one. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed some COD games and other things from Activision, but I'm a bit sketchy.

Doesn't matter when they last published a game. They're still a publisher.

 

Also, the first link is a search showing them publishing a game from 2005. So once again, you're wrong.

Wow, Their last published game was 9 years ago, That hardly means they are a publisher now, Also people.. Activision is a business if they buy out T2 NOTHING will happen to GTA, because Activision wants money more then anything and ruining the current formula that GTA has will be a loss in money
