GTA V delayed. Reactions?

Post Reply New Topic

Rockstar announced that GTA V Would be delayed by up to 4. New release date is 9/17/2013. So the original date was in May. I'm a but disappointed. I was hoping that it could be released before I go to college so I don't have to worry about doing papers why I'm at it


At least there's a bright side. The extra time would be used to add more features like.....working bus lines as another transportation option or a military base/ some other no-fly zone. Any thoughts?

Well... if I'm correct and GTA V is in beta then they are delaying to mainly patch errors/ bugs / glitches or doing quality checks depending on how long they been in beta. Rarely do betas ever add major game-play features unless it's early beta (fresh out of alpha). Most changes that happen could be described as minor coding or cosmetic. of course i am assuming it's been in beta for months. I've been a beta tester in 5 games (not bragging just expressing past experiences).

But that doesn't mean they are refusing feedback from players. In Online games Betas are good for also getting feedback from your pre-release fanbase for any future patches or updates.

FYI: I am not really going to buy GTA V nor have i ever played any so I never experienced how Rockstar handles it's franchises so i could be gravely wrong indeed.

I still can't beat VC, so it's not a big deal. But Rockstar know how to create a great game, so kudos to them. And if V will be anything like IV, then the wait will be worth it.

If just a little more time adds working buslines and other things that add to realism then it's worth it, but i don't care anyway because on top of that wait i'll have to wait 6 months after release date to a full year for the PC version to appear

Boner loss

Dang. I was looking forward to this to get me through the end of hockey season. Now I find out it arrives the week hockey season starts next year. Oh well, I'm sure the wait will be well worth it!

Knew it. Odds are it is waiting for the ps4.

Hopefully GTA:V will get a perfect or almost perfect score from Gamespot like GTA:IV did.

Rumor is a Reveal next week and maybe a date thus year.

it is going to be epic it should well and true get a 10 compared to IV. I don't look at IV as I once did what with all the mouth movement in L.A. Noire and that was ages ago.... Games need to step up and gta V will be that game1!!

many rumors about that game i think

but to play that game we will need nasa´s computers

I hope they don't %^&* it up with this so called realism or add gritty for extra effect they sure did with Max Payne 3 (dumbed down rubbish to rub salt into the wound) RDR and LA noir was bore marginally less so GTA 4 \, though thankfully they where back to form with The Ballard of Gay Tony , this "mature realism" path they have taken of late will go the same way as FMV "games" of the 90's did , you mark my words.

R* just needs to do what all of us want them to do set the next GTA in Vice city !

Honestly, I'm pretty glad of this. My library has gotten so big with a ton of unplayed games, I need some time to get through a good chunk of them before I'd want to play GTA V anyway.

Has anybody actually seen anything of the gameplay? Every video just seems to be endless cut-scenes. Still it will be awesome as usual!

A delay in the release of a game is a good thing and will result in a well rounded and complete game with less issues/bugs. You only have to look at oblivion to see the issues of incomplete games or bugs that stop you completing quests/missions (despite it being a huge/complete game it has these problems).
