This surprises me as much as Xenoblade 2's inevitable delay will.

If these screenshots are any indication, then the Switch version is coming along fine!
2020. Like GTA5 a cross gen release.
This will probably be their release cycle going forward 1 gta and 1 red dead each gen

I see the title got updated. What exactly did Rockstar say now?

Fine by me. Maybe they can get a remaster of the first game out by then in the mean time.

Figured, as long as the game is amazing on release I don't mind the delay.
As per Nirolak's update; the game won't hit this fiscal year so earliest potential release is April 2018.
Jheez I feel genuinely sorry for anyone holding onto this dream.

It's not rumored though. The current rumor is a paid expansion for gta online, That will include Liberty City and North Yankton, plus a casino in Los Santos. Thay bluntly said no sp dlc, it doesn't get much more final than that.

Ah well, as Miyamoto would say "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

what the fuck. i thought they delayed the initial announcement for so long to make sure they wouldn't have to do this. this sucks :|
uhmm so what else HUGE is coming this year on PS4? this was pretty much the one game i was really looking forward to, overshadowing everything else.. so, another Ass Creed? okay then.. and maybe some Battlefront 2 if it has a great single player mode. blah, this year sucks.

I'm positive they started working on whatever the next GTA will be sometime last year. I bet it'll be a massive project with more than one state.
I'm honestly kind of OK with this. This fall for me is mostly going to be all Destiny 2. Then you throw in Super Mario Odyssey and probably Far Cry 5, and suddenly it's quite packed.
I also don't think we'll see GTA VI in 2020. That would be just two years after the release of RDR2. I would guess 2022 or even later.
Just think though - even if GTA VI came out in 2020, that's still seven years after GTA V. That's kind of insane when you think about it, although I wouldn't have it any other way - waiting 4-6 years (or longer) between entries in a major series is how it should be done. It allows the games to be major evolutionary leaps instead of just iterative updates every few years.

yes this is obviously the reason why rockstar would delay the game

No worries. Do it right.

With things like "April at the earliest"? Oh yeah, definitely. At first I really expected May and it can still happen of course, but Fall definitely isn't far fetched. So potentially it will be 1,5 years until RDR2, sigh.
I have no problem with waiting but man, quit with announcing a release date that isn't gonna happen at all.

I hate to be that guy but that quote is full of shit, A bad game will always be a game regardless of delays or not.

Been waiting a long time so far. What's another year or so? I have no doubt it will be amazing when it drops. To be honest, as others have said, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it's even pushed to fall/holiday 2018. Wouldn't be surprised and wouldn't even be pissed.
That said, christ all mighty people around here take their GOTY talk seriously. I mean, is there some kind of bonus check I should receive if I bought a game that is eventually voted GOTY by... someone? I can just imagine all the dabs popping up with each 'ZELDA WINS 2017!' post in a RDR2 thread. -_-

Rockstar delaying something, ya don't say.
Yeah, no. I don't believe that. They don't feel ready to release this year, they're Rockstar, they won't release this year. I don't think there's more to that.

This has got to be the most expected delay ever. Personally, I was just trying to guess when they would announce the delay more than if it would be delayed.
GTA V has me worried with the multiplayer money it's bringing in. I hope they still have a strong single player focus for this game. I mean I know multiplayer is going to be a huge part of this game but as long as the single player is as long as RDR then I'm good to ignore the multiplayer stuff.
I wonder. Mario Odyssey might blow people away and then split the votes with Zelda which could let Horizon win. lol
No matter which game wins, it will be funny on GAF

Zelda: Breath of the Wild would have been GOTY anyway
