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 really want some DLC for V in the vein of the GTA IV episodes. Hopefully they don't focus only on multiplayer stuff.
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.
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.
I don´t think so,Rockstar recently moved their Toronto team into a much bigger studio,something is cooking up there,I say Bully 2.
While I think that's true, I don't think R* have ever been one for towing the line in terms of value. They're out to over deliver every time.I think that this gen has proven that people pay the same for less in terms of DLC. Very sad.
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.
While I think that's true, I don't think R* have ever been one for towing the line in terms of value. They're out to over deliver every time.
I think they'll either not bother with single player DLC, or it'll be every bit as grand as it was last time.
That's multiplayer, as you said, Undead, the only single player DLC, and I personally thought it was fantastic.Max Payne 3 and RDR had some pretty standard DLCs, outside of the Undead Nightmare one, i mean in terms of map packs and so forth.

They moved their Vancouver studio (authors of Bully) into the Toronto one (authors of Max Payne 3) i didn't know they also moved the Toronto one.
Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced that it is expanding its development capabilities in Toronto, and has opened a larger, new, custom-built facility in Oakville, Ontario for the Rockstar Toronto team. The studio expansion is being supported by the Ontario government. Financial details were not disclosed.
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.
Im sure Tomb Raider will do fine (like you said, Square-Enix seems heavily invested into it) but Lara has to deal with Gears of War: Judgement and God of War: Ascension in the same month along with the crazy hype for GTAV coming soon. I guess it's one of those out of the frying pan and into the fryer type situations.
The Last of Us will certainly not make that.I have a feeling we'll see all AAA games that are left for PS360 gen released before E3 2013.
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.
Extremely doubtful. Like, I don't think I could possibly agree less.I have a feeling we'll see all AAA games that are left for PS360 gen released before E3 2013.
I understand why. How though? As a GTA fan I can't even handle the thought of waiting an extra day for this game, let alone 6-12 months. It would be absolute torture, surely?Waiting for the PC version.

There's no indication at all that is the case.Lets not forget Naughty Dogs new IP The Last of Us ALSO launching around this time(cant see them wait longer then summer to release)
Holy shit next year will be brutal
While I definitely see your sentiment and think that some games have succeeded releasing in the Fall when most of the non-huge games have left, I do think that going up against two non-numbered entries in big franchises is probably less painful than Halo 4, Black Ops 2, and Assassin's Creed 3 in late October/early November.
I feel the game's main problem remains 8-10 hour, singleplayer only third person shooter, which I'm not sure has a solution outside of taking a time machine to 2008.
It was hinted at late 2012 or early to mid 2013There's no indication at all that is the case.

No, it was speculated by Game Informer. They never said anything more specific than 2013.It was hinted at late 2012 or early to mid 2013
I never get the PC version of any game I'm excited for anyway. I have a great PC that I love to log into to play Borderlands 2 with a friend, but if it's a game I'm absolutely giddy about, I want to pop that shit into a console and sit back on the couch and get immersed in the big screen with the lights off. Console magic

Didn't that leaked casting call from like two years ago mention a mixed guy? Black/Latino? This dude looks mixed, to me....
lol. They actually mentioned it them selves months ago obviously it was before talking bout MP but it was still hinted at.No, it was speculated by Game Informer. They never said anything more specific than 2013.
Got a link?lol. They actually mentioned it them selves months ago obviously it was before talking bout MP but it was still hinted at.
Totally agreed. When you add the two DLC's to the base game, you see just how thoroughly R* was able to explore Liberty City as a setting. I loved the contrast between the dirtier, nastier view of the city from Johnny's and his gang's point of view and the glitzier, cleaner, though equally nasty high life from Luis' point of view working for Tony.We agree on everything! I must say Ballad of Gay Tony was my favorite romp in Liberty City. Loved Niko & Johnny, but Luis + fire rounds + parachutes = bliss. Give us more robust single player episodes- new characters to play as, new stories to experience, new weapons to mess with. Rockstar does wonders with their expansions.
The Last of Us will certainly not make that.

Could be the game of the summer!Back in December 2011, USA Today implied that late 2012-early 2013 was the window they were contemplating in one of their interviews: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech...urce=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=110941
They haven't said anything since then, so I'm expecting they'll hit Q2 2013 instead.
I really, really don't think that's it.I can almost guarantee that is one of the main reasons they delay the PC version, is to basically force people to double dip. If PC launched same day they wouldn't get as many console sales. I refuse to bow to their wishes.
I think they possibly took that from GI. Even at E3 ND distanced themselves from any window, and heavily implied it was a long way off.Back in December 2011, USA Today implied that late 2012-early 2013 was the window they were contemplating in one of their interviews: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech...urce=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=110941

We'd know more if it was so soon, there'd be pack-in MP beta access with GoW or whatever, we know nothing, and have seen very little. Sony also have nothing for the back half of the year, and three games major games for the first half.
There is also a video interview of them talking bout it.Looking for it now as wellBack in December 2011, USA Today implied that late 2012-early 2013 was the window they were contemplating in one of their interviews: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech...urce=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=110941

The GI that announced the game, and gave a launch window that ND said they didn't give.Game Informer wasn't out until February 2012: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=461993
That said, 6+ months is more than enough for the second half a marketing campaign.
The GI that announced the game, and gave a launch window that ND said they didn't give.
Maybe CJ returned the favor and hooked up with Cesar's sister.
Maybe that's because it didn't cause the attention the GI article did, so they didn't feel the need to state it. If you listen to the GiantBomb interview from E3, the developer (lead designer?), strongly implies it's a long time off.Look at the article and thread dates.
USA Today interviewed Naughty Dog after they had a trailer at the VGAs in December 2011.
Game Informer had a cover about the game that released in February 2012.
Naughty Dog did explicitly say they didn't give Game Informer the Q4 2012 date. I don't see any articles from them refuting the more nebulous USA window.
Extremely doubtful. Like, I don't think I could possibly agree less.
Well, to tie this back on topic, we do know notably more about it than GTAV.Maybe that's because it didn't cause the attention the GI article did, so they didn't feel the need to state it. If you listen to the GiantBomb interview from E3, the developer (lead designer?), strongly implies it's a long time off.
This is wildly off topic however, so we shall see. I will be stunned if it's anything before fall.
