GO VOLS! :powert: Title: Re: GTAV September 17th, 2013* Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 31, 2013, 09:06:17 EST http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/31/grand-theft-auto-v-gets-a-september-release-date
LOL. A Rockstar game is delayed? Unheard of! That will probably be the ONLY game coming out for the 360 and PS3 at that time- everything else will be for the next gen consoles, which will probably be coming out in the Fall.

Why not go ahead and delay until next gen consoles are on the market? Title: Re: GTAV September 17th, 2013* Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 01, 2013, 12:31:22 EST What's the point? Why not go ahead and delay until next gen consoles are on the market? Because this game has been in development for a long, long time- long before the next gen dev kits were made available to publishers. Do you realize that when GTA5 is released (assuming they aren't delayed again) it will be just a few weeks shy of 2 YEARS since the announcement trailer was made public? So that means it's been in development for at least 3 years. I'm sure there will be a ported version for the new systems, but that probably won't come until 2014 at the earliest. :frown: Title: Re: GTAV September 17th, 2013* Post by: Creek Walker on February 01, 2013, 12:48:05 EST Because this game has been in development for a long, long time- long before the next gen dev kits were made available to publishers.

I assume so, but is there a guarantee? If GTA5 isn't going to be released until the end of the third quarter and we're going to see a new console in the middle of the 4th quarter, how many people would decide it wasn't worth spending $60 for a game that's going to be obsolete in a matter of weeks? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy it...I'd probably just rent it.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy it...I'd probably just rent it. The last rumors I've heard suggest that they WON'T be backwards compatible. They will also include DRM that prevents them from booting up a game that has been played on another console, thus putting a swift end to the used game market. Again, those are just rumors- but they are pretty pervasive. I probably won't be buying a new system for at least a year in any case. I have around 20 unfinished games sitting on my shelf. I'll probably wait until I get them all completed until I get a new console. And maybe by that time, the prices will have come down a bit. :dunno: Title: Re: GTAV September 17th, 2013* Post by: Creek Walker on February 01, 2013, 01:08:12 EST If true about the DRM, that sucks. I very rarely buy used games but I do regularly take my games and play them on consoles at friends' homes. I may just not buy a 720 as a protest. :biggrin:

When development started on this game, they wouldn't have known when the new consoles were coming out.

I'm sure MS won't be far behind. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/31/sony-teases-the-future-of-playstation |
