Take-Two: Next-gen no show is no problem

Disappointed by the possibility of no new hardware from Sony or Microsoft at E3 next week? Don’t be, says Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.

" it seems to me that any company needs: talent, tech, IP, and a strong balance sheet"

.........

younglj015097d ago

have you every thought that "some" consoles have the tech but most developers are not using it?

chasegarcia5097d ago

no show no problem more money more problems

Raider695097d ago

take two haves many games to publish next year!

Patriots_Pride5097d ago (Edited 5097d ago )

Take two can say this because they own R* and all R* has to do is release a turd covered in gold spray paint and it will sell millions.

Next gen is needed more than people think - hell my Samsung Galaxy has more ram than my xbox and ps3.

Disagree all you want but 6 years in the tech world is dinosaur age.

Yah man totally. That extra RAM definitely comes in handy. I mean, the Samsung Galaxy has WAY better games than anything offered on the consoles.

Oh wait, no it doesn't. Try again my friend.

chasegarcia5097d ago (Edited 5097d ago )

Don't hate the player hate the game. Android & IOS on top like it or not.

cooperdnizzle5097d ago

He said nothing about games, he only mentioned the tech. And he only mentions the ram part of the tech. So maybe you should learn to read and comprehend. The truth is the tech is old. It is a fact they were released 6 7 years ago... And both consoles came out with old tech before they even released. So learn you stuff buddy!

christheredhead5097d ago

Tech in consoles means literally nothing. Especially when compared to a phone. More RAM in a phone? Great. Still irrelevant to a piece of gaming hardware. Consoles always release with old tech. Next gen will be no exception. Phones might still have more RAM than next gen. Wouldn't make a difference.

theeg5097d ago (Edited 5097d ago )

people who truly care about tech, graphics, ect have moved on to pc long ago....of course console only gamers don't care

they think 720p and jaggies look good

@chase below

pc gaming makes far more money than any single console, actually more than ps3/360 combined, it is expected to make more than all consoles including wii/ds/ps3/360/ps2/psp by next year

chasegarcia5097d ago (Edited 5097d ago )

As bad as console games look compared to pc, its all about the benjamins. Games will be where the developers think they can get more paper.

ok I will stop. I am making too much sense.

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma16d ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay16d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

gigoran816d ago

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger16d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2316d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.

What are you talking about? This same sequence of delays happened with GTA V and RDR2. They should know better by now lol

Sabbath1313188d ago

Strauss is a farkin liar, tell the truth, the game will not be out until October 2027 and you know it

isarai188d ago

I really don't understand the shock and surprise with this delay. this has literally been every single GTA release 😂

Huey_My_D_Long188d ago

Maybe Gamers need to stop overreacting to delays. A little disheartening sure, but being upset or mad about it is just too much.

-Foxtrot188d ago

I don't understand why they felt the need to announce it so early, even with GTAV and RDR2 it was the same

GTA is massive, they could have waited until around Summer 2026 and then release it within a few months, it would have still sold super well. I understand new IPs needing time to establish themselves to gain hype but huge franchises like GTA shouldn't need that at all.

Bethesda had it right with Fallout 4, it was announced at E3 June 2015 and released within 4 months.

darkwalker188d ago

They're trying to manipulate the stock price.

SethNW188d ago

That is easy to answer, shareholders and investors. They are publicly traded company, once you become that your first and top objective is increasing shareholder value. Which is what this was. Since stocks depend on what shareholders believe and as long as you keep them confident, your stock will go up. And unlike gamers, shareholders actually do have power. If they believe company didn't do what is in their best interest, they can sue said company. Also they can cause shifts in management positions. Hence why they rather promise date, even if it won't be true or it is just wild guess and why then delays happen. Like as old saying goes, if things don't make sense, then just look at money flow and usually they will start making sense.

Also I would prefer Bethesda way of doing it too, where they announce it few moths before release. That way also all information they give are or can be accurate, instead of giving use hacked together segments of game that don't yet exist as game or just CGI trailers, both showing vision and not actual game with pinky promise this is what they will make.
