GTAV gives release date a day before on June 4, 2012, and everyone goes crazy, it gets a release date of October 2012.

LOGICWINS5123d ago (Edited 5123d ago )

At this point, I prefer that GTA5 come out next year to add as much polish to the game as possible and figure out how to take full advantage of Blu-Ray/the PS3's capabilities. Max Payne 3, Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, Assassin's Creed 3, Halo 4...the list goes on.

2012 is already packed. Also, a 2012 release date announcement for GTA5 at E3 would hurt Max Payne 3's sales in the long-term. If GTA5 were to come out this year, Max Payne 3 MP would be a ghost town by year's end. I'm sure Rockstar wants Max Payne 3 to keep people busy until May 2013.

If at E3 2012, Rockstar says that GTA5 will have our most "ambitious single player and multiplayer yet...and its coming this year", you'll have tons of people waiting for GTA5 instead of buying Max Payne 3 + Max Payne 3 DLC.

Also...I doubt Take Two will want GTAV leading people away from Bioshock Infinite.

roadkillers5123d ago

Rockstar added gang wars to Max Payne 3 and gangs are able to transfer across other Rockstar titles so thats a way to keep both games striving online. Heck, that may even help out Max Payne's sales having GTAV release in October (If done right, GTAV's online could give MP3 a lot of recognition).

sniper-squeak5123d ago

I've always thought of the "E3 2012" to be "the big one", not because there's a likihood of any new consoles being released but because of the footing developers and competitors now have. And maybe because of the year as well lol.

There are a LOT of games people are looking forward to (more so on PS3's behalf) and it would be nice if Sony please the customer as well as themselves too by showing gameplay of certain titles and release dates as they have an amazing line up.

WeskerChildReborned5123d ago

I think it has already been confirmed that Apple and Steamm aren't working on a console and i don't think Wii U will drop the name cause if they wanted to drop the Wii name, they would have done it from the beginning.

guitarded775123d ago

This list is full of crazy; I would just ignore whatever predictions are made on it. I think Patcher may be behind this.

yabhero5123d ago

Apple is not, Steam we don't know. I'd love it if they had a hand in developing the Nintendo Network

BrutallyBlunt5123d ago

My predictions

1. Nintendo will steal the show and will have a surprise showing of GTA V on the Wii U.
2. Sony will try and keep the hype going with Vita and will announce a price drop for the Playstation 3 just before the show.
3. Microsoft will show off the latest Call of Duty, have some well known guest appearance playing a Kinect title showing it's for the hardcore and will announce an official price cut of both Kinect and the XBOX 360.

MySwordIsHeavenly5123d ago

The problem is...

How is that Nintendo stealing the show?

The other THREE platforms will get GTA V, as well.

BrutallyBlunt5123d ago

Not if it is either, timed exclusive, has more features (Wii U controller), or performs/looks better.

Why I say it will steal the show is because it is likely Nintendo will be the only ones showing off new hardware and the games that will go with it. Not only that but the 3DS will have a huge showing as well that will trump Vita.

MySwordIsHeavenly5122d ago

The 3DS will have a big showing, but it's not going to touch Call of Duty on Vita with online multi-player. THAT is what people want. I'm upset that the original Infinity Ward won't be able to do it, however. :/ They were the only good COD developers.

ronin4life5122d ago (Edited 5122d ago )

@mysword
Unless 3ds gets CoD as well.
Nintendo has already stated that western 3rd parties are poised to reveal their work at e3, and CoD is the most influential 3rd party game out there. And their online game has improved and is expected to be even stronger after e3 announcements.

And if you really think that CoD on a cheaper platform with a larger install base will be outsold by CoD on a more expensive system with fewer games then... well, whatever.

OmniSlashPT5123d ago

You know nothing about E3. Rockstar never shows their games at E3 and they've already confirmed they'll not have GTAV at E3. They announce their games when they want, release trailers when they want and just keep owning everyone.

Just to be clear...

1. Nintendo will show of the Wii U, announce more Mario and Zelda and announce the specs. Everyone goes crazy.
2. Sony shows off a load bunch of games for the PS3, Move and Vita. No one cares and calls it a fail.
3. MS will show of Halo 4 and BLOPS2. Plus some Kinect bs. Still better than Sony people say.

It's like that every year lmao

ronin4life5122d ago

That is the exact OPPOSITE of the majority of the gaming presses reaction every year. You have your realities backward.
But of course, this is n4g....^_^;

zavierkai5123d ago

This are stupid prediction.Apple makes his own conference and valve alrady told that they would be showing nothing new at E3.Gabe alrady told rumor about apple/valve never happened.

SKUD5123d ago

No new console hardware from MS and Sony. Only nintendo.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio15d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
