Take-Two Conference round-up: Kinect, Vita + WiiU, subscription services, XCOM + life without GTA V

SystemLink: "At the Take-Two conference call to discuss the fiscal 2012 Q1 results, a huge and wild breadth of all things gaming was discussed when investors were given the floor to call in and ask questions. Below is the most accurate paraphrasing would could muster from the live-feed."

Duke Nukem received disappointing reviews from critics, but was profitable.
i don't like the sound of this

Rashonality5063d ago

still waiting for Max Payne 3 and Agent.

Electroshocked5063d ago

Exactly, where the f**k is Agent?

ATi_Elite5063d ago

Agent might be next Gen cause GTA V and DLC is gonna take a lot of time!

Agent is no longer a Sony exclusive and that's from the mouth of Sony's Game Ceo!

Max Payne 3 holiday 2012. they got so many complaints i think they made a lot of changes.

Rashonality5062d ago

i don't think they'll make it next gen for two reasons:

1- i don't think they would abandon their work and amount of money they spent on doing it on the current hardware and make it next gen, i mean look at Bully they release it on PS2 though the Xbox 360 was released for about a year and the PS3 was a month away, so i highly doubt it will be next gen.

2-the current gen will grant them good sales cuz there's about 100 million consoles already sold and by the time Agent will be released even more while the next gen will take about 6-7 years from now till they reach that number.

and about it being multiplatrom, i don't know but i won't be surprised, L.A Noire was exclusive and went Multi so its not far fetched.

Last gen had three main GTAs. We've only had one this gen so far. Do you honestly think there will only be one GTA this gen. Rockstar North have been working on GTA V since 2008. It will release next year. Mark my words.

ATi_Elite5063d ago

I want to GTA V PC to look better than GTAIV PC with the Icenhancer mod.

2012 GTA V will be out.

Take-Two Boss Doesn’t Think AI Can Create GTA Competitor; Believes in "Human Genius" to Create Hits

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick AI can help mundane tasks in creating games but human creativity will always be needed.

1Victor78d ago

Well there’s a saying about 100 monkeys with typewriters in a room, give it a few years and you’ll see the miracles that can be done with 100 Ai in a server 🤣

Cacabunga78d ago

Great interview from a humbly powerful man! I’m sad he didn’t speak about RDR at anytime, it’s like it’s not big enough for them

ZycoFox78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Bit of a stretch to say "human creativity" will always be needed, key word being always. Sure it makes a big difference right now, if you just let it do whatever with little/no effort you end up with lazily put together slop..

It's still early days, but tools to help develop games quicker is obviously a good thing.

anast78d ago

Give it some time and the same copy will be selling their latest AI game.

CrimsonWing6978d ago

I get the feeling he doesn’t think a lot.

Rockstar Buys GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition Developer, Renames It Rockstar Australia

Rockstar has acquired Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition developer Video Games Deluxe and renamed it Rockstar Australia.

italiangamer107d ago

Didn't even know Brendan McNamara was still in the business.

DaReapa107d ago

Seeing that he's reassociated himself with R*, it would be nice to see a follow-up to L.A. Noire.

chicken_in_the_corn107d ago

I doubt it will happen. Rockstar Australia will probably be developing Rockstar's next game, with the rest of Rockstar's studios.

Dirty_Lemons106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Hey Alan Wake II showed it might be many years but sequels are always possible! NY Noire? 🤔

Profchaos107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

He really shouldn't be guy is scum I wonder if he still runs it like a boys club if your not from the UK your on the outside and disposable meanwhile bashing Aussies and breaking our labour laws what he did during the development of LA noire is extremely illegal here and he got lucky he was able to intimidate his staff into not reporting it

goken106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

Sounds bad
I am not familiar with the incident, so i honestly do not know.
But… if whatever he did was not reported, then where did this information come from?

Profchaos106d ago

@goken
This is a great video that explains everything that went wrong with la noire Rockstar and team Bondi during la noires development

https://youtu.be/DN-Hv3pnVz...

isarai107d ago

Probably the most baffling acquisition ive ever seen, they absolutely screwed up something that should've been so simple, and then took so long to fix it that R* themselves fixed it for them and took their studio name off the splash screen......and so they acquired them?

Christopher107d ago

Keep the talent that is familiar with your engine(s), get rid of the bad management.

red2tango107d ago

It's literally in the article:

"It’s not to be confused with Grove Street Games, which came under fire for the poor quality of the original Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in 2021"

isarai107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

Dayum im dumb, i skimmed the article qnd didn't see that 😅

Koneesha107d ago

Yeah, these are the people that Rockstar brought into to fix the trilogy not Grove Street Games who originally made it and messed it up!

-Foxtrot107d ago

I don’t get it

I’d rather they forget this game happened and tried again a few years later when next gen rolls around with some proper remasters

Maybe actually spend some money to renew the music licenses for the songs they removed

Profchaos107d ago

This isn't Grove St games it's the team that fixed Grove St games mess in the recent Netflix Android and iOS versions and ported the improvements to the console recently.

Game is significantly overhauled today as a result.

-Foxtrot107d ago

It’s an improvement but I still don’t think it’s the best it could have been.

Profchaos107d ago

True it's an improvement but they did have to work with what they had and that was a ultra janky port of a mobile game thrown together by like 4 people per game.

Seriously in the old version after completing vice city I saw Grove St employees were listed and there was only 4 people in it there's bigger teams out there working on homebrew games.

KwietStorm_BLM107d ago

And still has Grove Street Games scrubbed from the credits.

DafunkyRebel107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

Rockstar saw the absolute botch of the Definitive Edition of their most beloved games as a personal insult and decided to destroy the studio responsible and renamed it entirely. Probably fired a bunch of people too. Its Rockstar's legacy they tarnished so I would be absolutely furious if I was an executive over there
