People interested in the stories in GTA games should check out the show Burn Notice. It's basically GTA: The TV Show.

GTA V - Releasing September 17th, 2013
- Thread starter GlamFM
- Start date
I'm still not surprised at all. I kept thinking October at the earliest, or maybe even later. In the same way they had released previous GTAs in October.
Their games are much bigger. They clearly don't care about communicating when/what progress is being made. I kind of love that- it leaves everyone on edge.

A lot of your guys' reactions are hilarious. So you want to play a buggy and poorly optimized GTA again this generation? Another plus besides a better performing game is we get to play a lot other releases before GTA V, helps us and our wallets.
Some of you want an apology? Are you fucking kidding me? Do you think us fans should tell the programmers and testers that work 16 or 18 hour shifts to work harder?
Rockstar has made GTA a mystery in of itself, picking up the latest GTA right when it comes out and exploring is one of the most invigorating experiences in gaming. People just want to be spoon fed and reassured they'll have a good time.

Kids got issues.
I'm thinking maybe a simultaneous PC/next gen consoles launch, about 6 months after the normal launch.
If the new console's architecture isn't too far off from a PC, they will already be preparing a "better" version anyway (always assuming it does come out on PC).
Lol, GTAForums dramatic reading, basically.
At least something good came out of this.

Every june, a new Just Dance is announced. Four or five months after, the game is released. All in time, the schedule is met without any problem.
I think some people are missing the big picture here. Rockstar is trying to make one of the most ambitious games ever, you can´t blame them for that.
Do you really think that they are happy with this delay? Of course not. In fact, this delay will hurt them in many levels; consumers confidence, confidence of the shareholders and even in their future contractual relations with Take two. This decision is hurting everyone; fans, Rockstar and Take two. Nobody wins.
Definitely, this delay is not for free. They must have very good reasons to do it.

I think most people here are fine with the delay itself, just disappointed they won't get to play the game for another 8 months.
As for the apology, i don't know who asked for that (it's a silly idea), i know I said they could've handled all this much better though.
Again, who is (in this thread) against the delay itself?
Wow. Day making right there.
exactly the type of consumer that shouldnt be playing something like GTA
Spider from Mars
tap that thorax
Those fat kid videos are fake. Y'all a bunch of marks.

while I agree, what do we actually know about the game? new features, etc? I've tried to follow the game but at the same time I felt pretty burnt after they cut features from gta4 and didn't deliver on others.

I don't know man, he threw his copy of gta4 at the door. dude's pretty darn steamed.
go on GTAForums.com, GTAV section.
You'll see the same exact reactions from a lot of people.
But the game will just end up better for being delayed? What the fuck is wrong with people, lol.

Oh yeh cause JC is the only open world game out there.....
I just hoping RS get some full on competition between now and VI that's all. It would be so much better than for us, especially seeing as the GTA series has never had any proper rivals, would be nice to see how RS handle that.....

pretty sure a date in general is something good.
its a ways away but we will have plenty to keep us busy until then
edit: Also why would anyone film this of themselves?

I was talking about Max Payne 3, you must have it confused with something else.
I think the most successful non R* open world game, currently, is Saint's Row (sitting at around 6m, i think)though with it changing hands and all that jazz, its future is not certain.
What other titles are there?
Mafia 2 didn't do too hot.
Sleeping Dogs neither.
Just Cause 2 did good, but not as good.
I can't think of any other major open world action game that's really relevant, as of now.

That's not real. Who would post a video of themselves crying and name it "fat kid cries over gta 5 release date". He just wants hits. The best part is when he's rummaging through his games and you see the SAW videogames.
No one should ever go there. It rivals the Bioware forums' insanity.
Maybe he's a rapper and "Fat Kid" is his pseudonym.
Indeed, but they're also good at finding shit (because they're always looking, really).

The only thing I really hope for now is a simultaneous Wii U release. But I really doubt this. I keep seeing posts about porting to next gen. I don't think R* has ever done this. At least with the Houser GTAs. I'm not saying it can't happen but I just think they'll wait 6 months after release then just release it for PC. People will mod it and we'll all just wait for the next GTA for next gen.
People are really overestimating the popularity of GTA. If this was 2003, then this would be the biggest release of the year and blow away anything else. In 2013, not so much. This is still a massive brand, but it has really lost a lot of steam this gen. Releasing this within two months of the next CoD, Madden, and possibly next gen consoles is pretty risky. I was on the fence about buying the game when it was slated for a spring 2013 release, now I probably won't even bother.

I agree. Give us a smooth framerate and eliminate all/most pop ups and increase the texture resolution - i would be happy.

Does CoD still have the same steam as it did when MW2 was released? Maybe even WaW? I stopped after Blops. And Madden? I like Madden but I had no idea it was even in competition with these titles.
Hmmmm...nope.
GTA 4 has sold over 25 million copies and is only rivaled by the CODs on the HD consoles this generation.
It stayed near the top of the xbox live charts for years too which is really impressive.

Not sure about right before but god of war 2 came out in 2007. FF12 came out in late 2006 too right around the release of ps3 and a year into 360s life.

As of now yeh, but by 2018 try again! ;D
According to the GTA IV Wikipedia article, 25 million copies of GTA IV have been sold. Take Two stock fell due to the delay of GTA V. Maybe GTA V isn't a big deal for you, but for a lot of people it is. You honestly think Madden and CoD threaten sales? Dude, the people that buy those games buy GTA.
CoD only gained more popularity after MW2. And I'm not saying GTA is in competition with these titles, but I would say the CoD audience does overlap with the GTA crowd. Anyways my point was people only have so much time they can dedicate to gaming, and this fall is getting crowded.
According to Major Nelson, it placed 19th in the top 20 most played games of 2012. It's the only game from 2008 that made the list.
Well the point is: they didn't delay it for kicks, the game simply wasn't ready.
I guess they'll take what they can get.
Also consider that a GTA comes once every 4 or 5 years, so given the choice this might get people's interest more.
Then again CoD is something you don't want to wait on, as people migrates to the new thing pretty quickly.
Yes and they'll most likely dedicate their time to GTA V. If I remember correctly, the online numbers for GTA IV rivaled COD games.

At least this gives R* more time to polish. I'll play The Last of Us MP until this releases.

I highly doubt this is being ported to next Gen. next Gen consoles won't release until November at the earliest, and it'd take too much time away from development.

How do you know? For all we know the first one is out of the box come September.
