Just drop GTAV in march instead, that should make up for it.

Not nearly as much as Mark Wahlberg did in the film though.

motherf**ker. i wish they wouldn't release dates in the first place... no point really, just spring it on us once you actually know. i mean, they seen this coming a while ago yet don't say anything. guess those preorder sales will fall off.

so... GTA 5 in 2013? no way it's coming earlier than summer, and they ain't gonna release two AAA's next to each other. we are in the midst of a bad drought. can't think of anything that's coming out for half a year now!

If R* think it needs more time, then it needs more time.

There 2013 Fiscal year is going to be insane though, all of those Games listed plus a little Game called VTG A.

Must be Great to be a Take 2 shareholder right now!

Kinda okay with it, but kinda not Lol. Heres hoping its worth the wait, @SVD if there was no release dates then no one would get hyped, and well.. less sales buildup. But I wish developers would stop these guesstimate release days.. Oh well.

Mass Effect 3 is 'still on' for march, so thats good.

I actually went to see that at the cinema as I thought the trailer looked pretty good. Should have learned after street fighter, mortal combat, dead or alive, silent hill, doom, resident evil, tomb raider, alone in the dark, etc.

RDR got delayed and the final game turned out to be amazing.

Whats wrong with tombraider movies??

This push back comfirms to me that Grand Theft Auto V will launch in 2013. Mostly because, GTA V was never, ever, given a release date! EVERYONE has assumed 2012. And two Rockstar don't usually release two massive games in one year, in 2011 it was L.A. Noire, in 2010 it was Red Dead Redemption, in 2009 their biggest release was the Grand Theft Auto IV Downloadable content. 2008 was the last year where they had three games released, we had Bully, Grand Theft Auto IV and Midnight Club: LA

TheLastDodo on 17 Jan '12 said:

Gutted......................that they're even bothering with this game, postpone it and get on with GTA V instead .

trzarector on 17 Jan '12 said:

Didn't this delay happen to Red Dead Redemption too around the same time? Can't wait for this game.

gmcb007 on 17 Jan '12 said:

First Xcom, now this. Bloody 2012 is becoming another delay-fest. Thank christ for the MGS collection to fill up the gap.

Currychips on 17 Jan '12 said:

Still, puts a little more emphasis behind the 24th May release date theory as discussed from the recent trailer - as in 2013 that will be a Friday, which makes much more sense to me than the previously touted Thursday 2012.

MrPirtniw on 17 Jan '12 said:

@NeoSuperman: Please add Advent Children to that list. Though I don't think it was released in cinemas... and there's a good reason for that.

I'm not feeling the love for this game so far. It kinda looks a bit generic from what I've seen but I enjoyed the first Max Payne (haven't played the second for some reason)... but then this looks nothing like the original.

Subject J80 on 17 Jan '12 said:

Not really bothered by this as Mass Effect 3 is out in March.

kmcroc on 17 Jan '12 said:

Here an idea so as not to p**s off the gaming community, why not tell us about a game a month before release so that way we would not had spent the last six months waitting with great anticiption. now that i have gotten the polite commentary out the way, WTF ARE U AHOLES DOING ,GET YOUR FECAL MATTER TOGETHER MAN ENOUGH WITH THE BS POLISH EXCUSE. AGAIN WTF.

This. Max Payne was never going to get look from me, with ME3 a week later.

My god will you ever grow up ?!? Announcing a game a month before release is ridiculous. You have to release information over time to get people intrested, not just throw it out there without much people knowing what the game is actually about.

What does being p**sed have to do with growing up & how is a my concept ridiculous ,most publisher & delvelopers spend a year advertising thier product & overhyping it & in return thier intial investment is never made back.

gmcb007 on 17 Jan '12 said:

Well judging by your last line in upper case and your comment in The samsung lawsuit article (Which you dragged up from August) it hints you need to grow up. Plus I already said to you why it's a stupid concept. They would not have enough time to build up public intrest meaning that their sales would be way down on release.

With hindsight it worked for Gears 3 so it's fine by me, beats some of the gaming abortions that were released before Crimbo with more glitches and bugs than you could shake a wonky stick at.....

how does this confirm to u that GTA V wont come out this year and be released next year, Max Payne 3 can still come out in may and GTA V can come out in like october/november, it still gives Max Payne 3 5/6 months to sell and it probably will, even though i expect it will come out next year seeing as no interesting games r coming out next year, its not going to hurt rockstar or max payne 3 sales if they release GTA V this year, especially if they release it in october, and about GTA V trailer having no release date, neither did GTA IV first trailer (granted, Peter Moore did announce the release date at Microsofts E3 2006 conference, which was 2 months before the trailer,but techinaclly if the release date was already confirmed then that trailer should of had a release date, GTA V trailer might not have release date but can still come out this year and Max Payne 3 first trailer doesnt have a release date on it either) and also GTA V might come out this year as a game for the Wii U, that also what the delay for Max Payne 3 might actually be for (well rumours are saying) and rockstar never releases two games in the same year apart form 2009, lets have a look shall we,

rockstars game releases:

2001:
Max Payne (i know Remedy actually made the game but rockstar published and released that game)
Grand Theft Auto III

2002:
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

2003:
Midnight Club II
Max Payne 2: The fall of Max Payne (same with Max Payne 1, Remedy made the game but Rockstar published and released it)
Manhunt

2004:
Red Dead Revolver
Grand Theft Auto Advance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

2005:
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition
The Warroirs
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

2006:
Rockstar Presents Table Tennis
Canis Canem Edit (Bully)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories

2007:
Manhunt 2

2008:
Bully: Scholarship Edition (i know this was released in 2006 for ps2, but it was re-released for 360 and wii with all new missions and that)
Grand Theft Auto IV (was meant to come out on October 19th 2007 but was delayed thanks to troubles with the PS3 version and space restraints due to 360)
Midnight Club: Los Angeles

2009:
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Beaterator
Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Libery City (both lost and danmed and ballad of gay tony on 1 disc, still makes this longer then most £40 games)

2010:
Red Dead Redemption

2011:
L.A. Noire (originally suppsoed to release in 2009, then 2010, but finally got released in 2011 because team bondi finally pulled their fingers out and actually released it

2012:
Max payne 3
Grand Theft Auto V (maybe released in 2012 or 2013)

so most of their big games came out in the same year as one another

Read: Max Payne delayed to avoid sales fight with Mass Effect 3. And you know what, it doesn't bother me.

Nik666uk2 on 17 Jan '12 said:

When have they ever NOT delayed a game? It'll be the same with GTAV unfortunately

djreplay on 17 Jan '12 said:

I don't think Mass Effect 3 would do too much damage to the sales of Max Payne 3, as a series ME has only sold 6m with 5 games across 3 platforms where as MP sold 5m with 3 games across 2 platforms.

craiglackenby on 17 Jan '12 said:

Sam Houser is from the UK! I didn't know that until recently.

I just hope this doesn't cause GTA5 a delay as they want the two games far apart in release windows as it is.

Lol, totally agree.

Man the f**k up, Ghost Recon is going to be epic! I will probably have a GRAWgasm when it comes out!

What was wrong with the Street Fighter movie??

Ah well. Make sense to push it back a bit i've waited this long for it so a couple more months won't hurt. March was starting to look a little crowded anyway.
