New 'Grand Theft Auto 5' discusses Rockstar's frustrating trend

"Grand Theft Auto 5" will now be coming to consoles this September, but a major question that has come up with the delay, is whether or not "GTA V's" overall sales will be impacted by it?

In an exclusive interview with Examiner.com today, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter talked about how the delay will not impact most people's desires to get their hands on the title.

They'll be fine. You have nothing to fear, concerned journalist.

MultiConsoleGamer4513d ago

Sales wont be effected at all.

The delay only makes the waiting more painful.

You wanna talk about a company that lives by the "delay", take a peek at Ubisoft. They cant announce a release date without eventually pushing it back.

I want to swoop down in a fighter jet and be able to bomb massive amounts of pedestrians as they walk the busy streets/sidewalks!

mastershredder4512d ago

IF we do in fact see one or more new consoles by this year's end, I won't be suprised to see a GTA5 enhanced edition pop up along launch time. It could help sell consoles and fill the launch lineups.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese29d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde28d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast28d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake28d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow128d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown36d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8536d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown36d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8535d ago (Edited 35d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole35d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name36d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast35d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj35d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

I believe it's been on ps+ a few times over the years of I'm not mistaking same goes for gamepass.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos49d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto48d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba49d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz48d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u47d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
