- Thread starter Musiol
- Start date
- Status
Nintendo has not allowed any 3rd party games outside of the launch window to be announced, heck its still launch window games unnannounced, and only two 1st party games outside of launch window is announced and thats Bayo 2 and Smash Bros 4.
So we still dont know until we get a flat out no, and then still it may come, see Epic Mickey 2.
is it really?

Well, Injustice: Gods Among Us was announced and that's April.
Project CARS also isn't scheduled until mid 2013.

Saints Row actually integrated it pretty well I thought. You could use it to call in Homies to help out, as well as get side missions such as assassinations. Something along those lines would be good.
Yeah its weird, it will be the first time Ill be playing a major game on 360 instead of PC since Dark Souls
exactly lol, how many times have we seen and printed leak for something big coming to Nintendo, only thing we have is lindkin profiles and retailer leaks and we do have a GTA V WiiU retailer leak.
Cool, thanks. Much larger than I thought.

If GTA V is as over-the-top as Saints Row, I'll be disappointed. There was no stimulation at all in that game. It was so crazy that running over pedestrians completely lost its impact. No humanity, no emotion.

I wouldn't be surprised if SCE & MS gave a little incentive to R* to not release GTAV on Wii U.

nope. why would they do that?
I loved Saint's Row 3 for what it was, but ya, that is not at all the direction that I want Grand Theft Auto to go towards at all.
I'm not sure why people would actually want them to be the same given that we're going to get Saints Row every 2 years for the foreseeable future.

I really doubt something like that is even possible. The only reason why the Wii U release isn't happening sooner is due to the next to nothing install base of the system, even then Rockstar doesn't like to take risks with their biggest franchise.
They'll always play it safe. I think it will end up on the Wii U after 1-2 years.
They don't care about the Wii U getting V, VI won't be on it anyway, and Sony and MS are done with this generation of warring.

Just because I want more fun doesn't mean I want another Saints Row, it isn't a case of one or the other. Liberty City was boring as hell in GTA4, they went for a more mature game and sacrificed the fun aspect imo.

If GTA5 won't get DLC like Episodes, then probably.

Well when you walk into GameStop or Best Buy you are going to see huge advertisements for GTA V which will undoubtedly be second to none in store presence once Christmas ends. I know Halo 4, Black OPs 2, AC3, and WiiU will be gathering much of the attention until their releases, but argurable none of those (outside of WiiU which is a console launch) are bigger gaming events then a new GTA console release that hasn't happened in six years.
Looking at the console scene:
- Holidays -
WiiU & launch titles
+
PSA All Stars
Halo 4
AC 3
Black OPs 2
Forza Horizon
Need for Speed
Family-friendly titles (Skylanders Giants, Epic Mickey 2, Just Dance, Kinect, etc.)
- Early 2013 -
WiiU launch Window
+
Anarchy Reigns
DmC: Devil May Cry
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Dead Space 3
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
BioShock Infinite
SimCity
South Park: The Stick of Truth
Crysis
Tomb Raider
God of War: Ascension
Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
Gears of War: Judgment
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Remember Me
Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Looming GTA 4 release
Considering the majority of third party titles that aren't already part of a multi million selling franchise under performing as of late, I have a feeling some publishers that delayed titles not related to development reasons are now kicking themselves for deciding against releasing in the holiday season.
Yeah, but it was never as immersive. It was basically just your menu. I COULD CHANGE MY RINGTONE. I know some people say that's part of what they hate about GTA 4, but that's what I love about Rockstar games. They do an attention to detail that no one else does.

This 'everyone is out to get the Wii U and Nintendo' tinfoil hat stuff is getting tiring. I hope your post wasn't serious.
Project Cars is kinda a indy funded game that the dev has said they are bringing to WiiU
And your right Injustice is coming but it was announced way back before it had a release date and even that is April close to the launch window.

I think this is exactly what will happen. I read somewhere that R* will help 2K with Mafia 3 and built the updated RAGE engine in the process.
Makes a lot of sense to me.
Read Dead would come after that if I had to guess.
I would say the ones that are most negatively effected are the ones who were delayed from Fall primarily for business reasons, because that means they actually lacked the ability to stand out in that season.
The ones that left due to development reasons are less likely to be problematic, and I would give BioShock Infinite as an example of that.
Or, another way to put it, you're still going to need a $30+ million advertising campaign in Q1 to stand out and be one of the few titles people really pick up.
I would argue May is also close to the launch window, and it doesn't make sense to let Microsoft and Sony to have free reign over all the pre-orders and store advertising.
Yeah, I agree with your assessment. May 2015 should have a pretty healthy install base even for Red Dead.

Bully 2... the game we deserve but not the one we need right now.
It was a really old interview back before Rockstar Toronto put the game on hold to work on Max Payne 3 exclusively.
Dan or Sam Houser did say they were interested in returning to the series, but I think it's probably too early still since Max Payne 3 just came out.
I'm expecting Take-Two to try to improve development cycles, but I don't expect them to go from 5-7 years to 2 years in one go.
Mafia with R* help would be interesting.
I actually enjoyed Mafia 2, despite some shortcomings. Not as much as Red Dead or GTA, but still enjoyed it a lot.

Wasn't there also a quote from Shawn Lee (composer from the first Bully) saying that he had done some work on music for Bully 2? Or at least that R* was planning on doing it eventually.

I would have taken Bully 2 over Max Payne 3. I need Bully 2 goddammit.
I absolutely could not agree more. Holy shit, I was so surprised that GTA IV still had that. Miserable.

Yes they do.
Your statement only makes sense if you take 2K != Rockstar, since they are separate sub-labels of the main company.
You can even go look at the bottom of their website: http://www.take2games.com/
Your right but we are talking about Nintendo lol
I say at the worst it will come latter in the year with the DLC along with the PC version, WiiU is gonna have a nice install base, which will be buying core games, they will be crazy to miss out on that with a huge seller like GTA.

Funny you mention that, I wonder if GTAV will get DLC since its late in the cycle. I am guessing they will, easy cash opportunity.
Skiesofwonder
Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Agreed.
I admittedly haven't been keeping a close eye on the development schedule of titles like Aliens and Tomb Raider, but it seemed like they were delayed for business reasons, which could be a sizeable mistake now (IMO).

Aliens I definitely agree on.
Tomb Raider might have partially been, though I think Square Enix is actually willing to invest in $30+ million in marketing in March for it, which is still a solid window historically for million plus sellers in the U.S. alone.
March is still tricky though due to the number of high profile titles.

Keep in mind that the GTA IV DLC was probably the best DLC this gen in terms of content and production value.
If they repeat that ( they wont ) I would be really happy.

It was only a few ,others ago that, Project Cafe featuring a refocus on the hardcore, Steam integration, and GTA5 timed exclusive existed.
I agree with you on that front, and my proposal is they're going to take over the studio and rebrand it to Rockstar Czech.
Why are you doubtful they'll deliver quality?
I think there's a very strong change DLC is coming.

Last time they did table tennis to learn and built an engine. Working on Mafia 3 sounds like a lot more fun.
Yes.
I think that this gen has proven that people pay the same for less in terms of DLC. Very sad.
