Now some of you may say that their latest predictions are spot on. Well how about this; what if we made up a big story (say Uncharted 3 coming to PC in 2014) and claimed we had real evidence to back it up. What if we were - at first - the only ones suggesting such a thing? And let's say that in January 2014 we claimed that Sony decided to put the project on hold indefinitely (suggesting that there wasn't any ETA for it). Should we then say to ourselves that two wrongs make a right? We think not."
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
The only things needed in the gaming industry tbh with you are:
1. Hardware Manufacturers
2. Publishers
3. Developers
4. Advertisement
5. Gamers
All the extras are not needed.
"We believe Rockstar Games is modeling a 4 to 6 month marketing window for their upcoming GTA V release, suggesting a Summer ’12 launch period."
Kinda funny. Pachter may have had the date wrong, but the marketing window was accurate. The real marketing will start with the release of the GTAV Game Informer issue, and wrap up in the spring, which is about six months.
This guy's harping on analysts being wrong here, but did anyone expect GTAV in spring 2013 until recently? I doubt very many people expected it would take Rockstar five years to release another GTA. Never before had Rockstar announced a GTA with well over a year to go until release, so I can see exactly why earlier dates were predicted.
I'm not saying one way or another how accurate these analysts are, but if you're going to write a whole piece about their track record, at least look at more than their predictions for one unusually late game.
March 12 2013... ;)
Wow. Someone is butthurt that GTA V wont' sell as much as GTA IV or a Call of Duty game.
FACT: GTA V is coming in summer, which instanly lowers it sales since it won't be boosted by holidays.
FACT: Next-gen Consoles from Sony and MS are coming holiday 2013, early 2014. This will significantly lower its legs.
FACT: No one could have guessed GTA V's release date. In fact, I believe something went wrong and it got delayed.
