Rockstar doesn't do E3. They will announce it on their own.

I know, that's why I said 'hoping'. Trying to be optimistic...
Releasing GTA V this year would be a good move, since this fall isn't as stacked as the previous ones.
Bioshock, Tomb Raider, DMC, Colonial Marines are all scheduled to be released in Q1 2013.
GTA V would be a great fit in October 2012, which right now has only these potential big sellers scheduled:
02.10. Resident Evil 6
09.10. Dishonored
23.10. Persona 4 Golden
23.10. Medal of Honor: Warfighter
30.10. Assassin's Creed 3
GTA V on October 16th. Believe!

I'd be really disappointed if it was moved out of this fall simply because of competition from other games. Not that we would ever know about it in any concrete way were that to happen, but shit...Strauss Zelnick could take a dump in a 360 case, put "GTA V" on the cover in the GTA font and it would sell more than all of those games.

Xbox Support knowing the release date for GTA 5?
BWAHAHAHAHA.
Most of the idiots who work there don't even know the most basic things about the service they are supposed to be providing support for.

I agree. I don't see it coming out this year and March is the perfect slot. March 18th is my guess.
I wonder if it'll cannibalize Bioshock at all. I hope not.
Max Payne 3 got a strong 3-month push. I wonder how long the marketing cycle will be for V.
Don't think we'll see anything on it until this fall. :-\
from gtaforums:
This year we are going to have: Max Payne 3, Borderlands 2 and a month of Bioshock but that's not enough to reach the best revenue ever and beating 2008(with GTAIV released in April) by 300 millions.
C'mon is october 2012 release. How can R* make these numbers?

Keyword "fiscal".
I know who cares, the values are correct.
you didn't get it
This time there's a chance they might be there:

Far from a confirmation, since it's R* support, but still.
Fiscal year not ending on the 31st of December being the point.

My optimism might pay off!
Support fight !
I know, Bioshock in coming out in 2013 and in fiscal year 2013

I've been expecting it to drop in late 2012.
It'd be almost a year since the initial reveal, and over 4 years since GTA4.
I think there's a big enough gap between Max Payne 3 and the prospective October/November months to speculate, it's not like the two would affect the sales of the other anyway.

Yeah, if they want to bump Fiscal 2013 that much, wouldn't they need, not only GTAV, but GTAV with a good timespan in which it can make profit?
I mean if they launch it in March 2013, it's not that much time to get the best out of it, not even considering the cannibalization with Bioshock.
But of course, that's just me rationalizing my desire to have the game for October.

Screw GTAV and give me my Red Dead sequel announcement at E3!
....even though I know that A) it isn't going to happen and B) If and when we do see another Red Dead game it'll probably be for next-gen consoles and fuck that shit.

Why march 2013?
Fiscal year 2013 goes from April 2012 to March 2013. If they want the can release the game now ad it will be in the 2013 year.
RDR2 will eventually happen, but RDR1 used pretty much every Western trope out there, an RDR2 now would fucking useless.
I'm saying that releasing your biggest game when you're about to exit the fiscal year (March) it's counterproductive.

Timed 360 exclusive? could be possible.
snoopeasystreet

I doubt it but it wouldn't surprise me if the 360 gets timed exclusive dlc again. Microsoft are generally better at picking exclusive content than Sony.
No.
It's *possible* they're talking in terms of fiscal year... but I'd generally agree that they just don't know.
Not a chance with the full game. DLC is always a possibility, though.

"Only"? Three of those sold more than 5 million copies the last time around.
From the gtaforums thread.
Edit: this is from the PDF take 2 released today at there earnings conference call Q4
I saw this yesterday and thought the position of GTA V in the list was interesting. The list is sorted by date and it appears after Bioshock Infinite which is released February 26, 2013. Makes me thinks GTA is coming out after that.
Am I the only one?
Is everything TBA and its between fiscal year 2013 and 2014, it doesn't say anything this chart.
Tba means to be announced, after that we will know the position on this list

Exactly what I´m thinking.
TBA always comes after things that have more definitive dates. That means it could be scheduled for anytime before Bioshock but because it hasn't been announced it will stay where its at on that list until then.
If they put it before bioshock that would likely represent some kind of release window, but as none has been announced they can't do that.

I assume it's coming this fall, but I doubt Xbox Support would have that information yet.

No way GTA V is coming this year. Especially with Rockstar announcing the DLC packs from Max Payne 3 that are going to be getting released all though summer till fall.
It will be announced for March 2013 or something, but then delayed till May. I am fine with them taking their time on it, I mean.....it's fucking GTA!
