Analyst: GTA V could miss March 2013

The man did not know how right he was :(

Sept 17 2013

Rockstar rightly prioritizes game quality over release date, and this dynamic could shift timing."      <----- this

This will probably be the last game I buy on PS3, even then its only because the PC version wont be out for a further 10 months or so like every other GTA game.

I am just alway amazed at how well this organization keeps secrets.  How do they do that????

these guys should know our finals dates!! I dont want to fail my semester

gta v is taking too long to release

when gta v will be out

i read on wiki that gta 5 has not yet been confirmed for the  PC. it will appear on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and i am really dissapointed as there is no news from gta guys that wether or not they will launch the game for pc  

Yh they should man it's killin me

Rockstar should've given us some more info by now especially release date..... Not good rockstar

Why do analysts keep placing GTA5's release date anywhere BUT May? The last several Rockstar games have targeted May (or late April) as a release date. If I were blindly guessing, I think I'd follow that pattern.

If the delay means that it'll be released without the Games for Windows Live crap and makes the Rockstar Club account and launcher completely optional, then please delay it for as long as it takes you to get that done, because I'm not even considering buying before that is patched out.

Who cares? i'll care when i'll hear something from Rockstar themselves, this whole time calculations seems pathetic to me

I just hope they release this for PC..

Looking forward to this coming out. Dont mind when it comes out though. would be a great launch title for the new XBOX and PS4 but im sure it will be for the current consoles.

Please Rockstar, bring it to the WiiU so we can all be happy!

Unless GTA 5 does something it has never done before, I doubt it is a "hit" as predicted. The game has only evolved in graphics. Everything else is relatively the same. 

I guess Rockstar better crack the whip on it's employees. Treat them even worse than they have in the past!

Analyist says blah, blah, blah. Means nothing until we hear it from Rockstar themselves. Either way, I will have plenty to play while I wait for GTAV.

Just make it good and I can wait another year......All I want is a polished game with no serious flaws and I will be happy, until you can produce that....for the love of god, take your time!!!

I know people like to rip on the industry's so-called "analysts" (and believe me, I do too), but I actually think Sebastian could be right here. Remember, IV was delayed, and like he says, Rockstar is a company that prioritizes quality over release date.  Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised 1 bit if they delayed it to tweak and polish it.  And hey, if the overall quality of the game is better because of a delay, then I say go for it Rockstar, take all the time that's needed and not release something that's a buggy mess.

Just make it like San Andreas, and I'm in.

Any time I see an article start with "Analyst", I don't read it.  Though I do chuckle at the word "anal" a bit.  And yes, I JUST came here to post that.

People spend too much time chasing hype trails... enjoy the present, forget next year until it arrives.

These articles always make me laugh.  Rockstar games are well known for being of very high quality.  I've never see their customers complain about a game being 'late' or 'taking too long to make' etc, the disgruntled gamer buzz just isn't there.

Rockstar never gave us a release date either, so really the customers who weren't angry in the first place, still aren't angry.

AND YET!

Gamespot believes this is worthy of an article.  Not only that, they base the article on someone's predictions about a date that was only a prediction in the first place.  Not to mention, Gamespot tries to make it seem worse than it is (Read: Title: "Colin Sebastian "increasingly concerned" Rockstar's upcoming open-world game may miss projected early 2013 release window.") and yet is quoted to have said, "By no means am I convinced that it will miss March...-Colin Sebastian".  

So, WTF is up with that, Gamespot?  Do you really think your readers have that low of an IQ?  

I have no problem if they make it better then gta 4 because that lack the love all out fun of vice city and san andreas

Uh, who cares if Rockstar has to delay their game?

Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things  lol.

Not as bad as the Mass Effect 3 ending.

OMG SCREW YOU ROCKSTAR THIS IS CRAP OMG I WAS GONNA PREORDER IT.

Expect a release date soon. Late October is the end/beginning of a Rockstar fiscal quarter, and those times of the year are usually when they do things like drop information/trailers and release games or DLC.

You know I find it funny that its Analysts trying to tell you a release date, and not Rockstar... I'll just wait until Rockstars says something to even start to get excited...

How the fuck do these analysts get their jobs? This is what he says:

GTA V might miss March date because:

1.) No expressed release date

(well no shit, we could have looked that up on Wikipedia)

2.) Retailers haven't heard anything

(and? The March date was only a prediction, so the fact that retailers have heard nothing was to be expected)

3.) Rockstar prioritizes quality over quantity

(wtf, I could have told you that for free.)

if it misses the march prediction, better for us....there are 2 many games already packed from now until march. it would be awesome to see a summer release

better late than sleeping dogs!!!

No problem, there's plenty of games coming to keep my busy until GTA5 releases. I think Rockstar always does great work, so I don't mind waiting.

Hope it's a bit more like Red Dead Redemption, less like GTA4.
