It appears that Rockstar, the makers of such games as GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and others will not be exhibiting at E3.
(PC, PS3, Rockstar Games, Xbox 360)
i bet during microsoft's press conference this is shown as a timed exclusive or dlc timed exclusive game with a new trailer and thatll be it, sort of like when GTA IV was shown at e3. but as to when it comes out though who knows...
I don't think R* would do that again if they did I'd be really surprised. It made sense from a business stand point last time but I don't think it ended up selling as well as they thought it would being a timed exclusive But R* did make good money before the game even came out so we'll see. Either way I'm confident R* will give us a full game anyway they never half ass any of their work. And always have good DLC to back it up.
I know it sold well its GTA, I'm talking about the DLC, for being a timed exclusive I remember an article saying it didn't sell as much as Microsoft expected it to.
GTA 5 no-show at E3 guarantees it isn't coming out this year, not even a 1% chance. Historically when GTA is at E3, it always releases later that year in Oct. Given the development of what has been shown already the game definitely isn't ready to release this year so their absence just makes sense.
Theres no way they would appear at Microsoft's press conference, for a game as big as GTAV they want maximum coverage and all cameras will be on Sony & Nintendo
Considering Microsoft's E3 conference is pretty much treated as a special television event, airing live on SPIKE TV for the second year in a row next month, I'm pretty sure the most cameras will be on Microsoft.
they will release a trailer a day or 2 before E3 so all anyone will talk about is GTA5.
they are bigger than E3
also to people saying MS conference i don't think so, the DLC didn't sell as well as RS hoped as exclusive so this time expect them to launch on both consoles at same time, if there is dlc
I don't recall ever seeing Rockstar at E3 before anyway. Even though Take Two will be there, I doubt anything Rockstar's been working on will be shown.
I know what you mean. I wish they would demo stuff and show off everything they got going on but that's how they roll. They are my favorite developers so it's pretty lame waiting around for new info on anything they do. But that does make whenever they do have reveals that much better. R* for life... GROVE STREET OG ON THA SET BUSTA!!!
Whoever wrote this article is an idiot. Rockstar will most likely be showing there games at sony or microsoft's booths. Plus Rockstar are on the show plan. There called Take-Two Interactive!
Rockstar is never officially at E3, its usually someone else who introduces their trailers at the press conferences. I'm sure there will be a new GTA5 trailer of some sort.
@UpTop If MS worked out a deal with RockStar to get exclusive content first that'll be HUGE you serious? Or for Sony, whoever they worked the deal with, that would be a megaton announcement. That means exclusive ad rights, exclusive game footage/publicity. And maps coming first on whatever console. If it was big back in GTA 4 times it would be waaay bigger now. look at this way Sony pre- order sales at: nearly 8 mill MS: at 5 mill Sony with the exclusive content or Vice versa thats just an example, that's huge though.
I've done some thinking, I believe if R* would of worked out a deal with either company, I think it would be MS console. Only because Sony working things out with "Agent", they're either trying to secure the exclusitivety or maybe exclusive content (If Multiplatform)
They will be showing their game 1 day before E3 they will be the first ! because apperntly their game gtav is too good to be in E3 and they could steel the spotlight of everyone so they will make gameplays and everything 1 day before e3!
Plus rockstar arnt going to just reveal GTAV but also AGENT! but GTAV. As i said Rockstar are too big for e3 or mainly GTAV is so they will have a confrence 1 day before e3!
Come on it just says wont be exhibiting, you can expect them to show up in anyone of the big 3 press conferences. plus they are always marked under take two not as a separate company. Who ever wrote this article doesn't know much about the industry!!
For me GTA5 wouldn't overshadow anything announced at E3 for Sony MS or Ninty! with Sony being the one i'm most interested in GTA5 being shown a day before E3 means didly squat to me I've never been a fan of the franchise! I'm looking forward most Dead Space 3 being announced, Gameplay from AC3 being demo'd on PS3, RE6 gameplay being most likely demo'd on Xbox 360 and The Last of Us being shown to OWN the show... oh yeah and Expect a few megatons from Ninty and its Wii-U.
I haven't purchased one single R* game this gen and I'm fine, their games came and went as fast as they were announced for me So people can put there pennies in GTA5.
Historically Rockstar has never attended E3, but Take 2 has shown some of their games to the press at this trade show!
Rockstar remind me of the band Tool. They do things their own way, rarely do publicity, only drop new material every 5 years or so. But when they do, everyone goes apeshit for it!

and who dosnt know that GTA5 will be amazing!
This just reminds me of Jaffe last year and the "Nope not gonna be there" interview/line, then him being spotted before the event.
they are bigger than E3
also to people saying MS conference i don't think so, the DLC didn't sell as well as RS hoped as exclusive so this time expect them to launch on both consoles at same time, if there is dlc
This isn't news.
Also what happened to agent? Im still waiting on that.

.
Instead they release trailers at opportune times to garner all the media attention.
.
And guess what? It works.
