Grand Theft Auto V Is Coming 9.17.2013

Posted on January 31 2013, 10:00am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Dear all,
 
Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.
 
We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.
 
To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.
 
Yours,
The GTA Team

    Hey all, we understand many of you guys are disappointed with this news – unfortunately sometimes such delays are necessary in all forms of entertainment, and especially in the case of a game experience as massive and complex as GTAV. However this does not give you free reign to be abusive in comments. The general rules of common courtesy, decency and behavior as listed above the Comment Box still apply here, therefore anyone continuing to post abusive comments will have their privileges suspended.

    Also:

    To those of you saying or seeing various conspiracy theories about there being some other ulterior motive for this delay, rest assured that they’re all nonsense – literally the only reason we’ve delayed the release is because we want the game to be as good as it needs to be.

    For those of you asking about the official box art, that will be coming out a bit later as well.

    Thank you all for understanding.

    I too want GTA V for PC straight away... While we might not get that, don't worry, just like with GTA IV, it will come for PC!

    They release it for consoles first to make everyone buy one of those first! Then some months after, they announce it for PC and maybe next gen consoles so guys like me buy one more!

    Many cry about EA being money hungry, but honestly, Rockstar is one of the worst developers, they make quality games, but doesn't release it for PC straight away...

              What about PC gamers? now we gotta buy a PlayStation or an XBOX just to play this game. Its kind of unfair. please make a PC version of the game, many people will appreciate it :)

                          Hi!

                          Are you guys going to realise a collectiors edition for pc ? If not ! WHY!?
                          • duk_leonon July 11 2013, 2:36amReply
                            @Osciielite I will tell you why, the Collector's Edition alone costs $150 and most PC gamers wouldn't pay for that. Don't get me wrong, I am hoping for PC Collector's Edition, but I doubt they will release one for PC. If you want you get buy the Collector's Edition for the console, then sell the game as well as digital contents and keep the Collector's Edition contents.

                              ok yeah the last part of the message i wrote was maybe too much because these were'nt «speculation» or theories, these were sort of wishes in a certain way but anyways i read me back and i find the ideas i wrote at the end really stupid lol... anyways I don't know if you were talking to me when you said: «[...] The general rules of common courtesy, decency and behavior as listed above the Comment Box still apply here, therefore anyone continuing to post abusive comments will have their privileges suspended.»
                              But I don't see how I'm abusing in any way! I'm not sending hundreds of messages...
                              And I was'nt disrespectful??!

                              Maybe there are a lot of words yes i know, but as I said the last part is just to be ignored!
                              I sadly have this tendency to lose myself when I'm writing about something I like and I'm sorry about it.

                              ROCKSTAR Keep Rocking On ;)!

                              Sincerely, I been not disappointed, but deceived, when I learned GTA V was going to come out later. But, I still tell myself: It's to be later and then have a serious release date, as we have now, and then have gta 5 at his best (because they have more time so they can correct the few last details to make, even the standard edition, feeling like a premium edition!) so the game can be at his best!

                              And i'm talking to people and every future GTA players, I sincerely thought about it. And, as I was kinda ''deceived'' of the part of Los Santo i saw on the new edition, (however you call it/them), I just told myself, this can't be bigger than Red Dead Redemption and GTA 4 together.. So i think and highly believe that in Los Santo And all the other cities, (that surround LOS SANTO) that we will have access to all the buildings, houses, police station, and all the things in the game!
                              Can you remember, in GTA SA, that we could take CJ to make burglaries at night? well I believe in GTA 5, this will be back, and we will have all access to all the houses or that reason.. and to all the building, because, as you probably alread know it, in gta 5 we can make bank roberies. And I guess we can also not only robber the banks but also groceries, drug stores, and maybe even restaurants! these are finally«Burglaries» but in other types of «houses»...
                              Humm, And also, I thought about this too.. You probably remember that in gta 4 we had access to a lot of edifices! but these were getting repetitive... Well in GTA 5, I guess, they won't! or they may look similar, but they will be different (for exemple in a certain neighbourhood the house may look quite similare out-side and inside, but inside because it's a different person who lives next the first house, it won't be the same decorations, tvs ect...
                              Imagine, have access to all the buildings, every edifices, houses ect and be able to steal them o their last dollar!

                              But Los Santo is one thing, and mostly one part of the map... But I still hope that there will be a big part of mountains, around Los Santo... I love mountains don't know why xd. In Red Dead Redemption I was faking myself as a soldier and making patrols in the mountains! always mountains... anyways I hope there will be stuff as for the weapons, humm maybe some mortar i reeally hope it's actually my favorite weapon all time.. and some combat in th mountains, (for some long range gun firefights) because when the gun fights are too close like in COD and Battlefield, it's just irrealistic! And trust me I know about war! I was in afghanistan with canadian forces xd so i know what it is... and I think its harder to fight an enemy who's far than close. Because at close range (which is between 0 and 175 meters more or less, a danger close target for air support and artillery strikes is 100 meters from the troops and it's also the maximum if you're closer they won't make any support!)
                              I know my message is getting long but I have a lot to say about this subject! because I want a reallistic game and not an irrealistic game like COD or Battlefield where the enemies are at like 10 meters from you and they can't hit you or you have like 375 enemies at 15 meters and they think a 4 man squad can make it alive! lol
