News and Notes

TIRED OF GTA IV DLC's ...?

Cheatcc.com has reported that GTA V has begun development. Matter of fact, according to Michael Pachter, its been in development for over a year now.


"Management declined to state when the game will launch, but has confirmed to us that the game is in development, has been for over a year, and is using the same game ‘engines’ as the last version," Pachter wrote. "Management also told us that the team at Rockstar North is highly motivated to get the game out, and that the team understands that its highest payday will come from working on GTA instead of any other game. When we do the simple math, we conclude that the next installment is likely to be completed by some time in 2010, although given the frequency of game delays, it is not clear that it will necessarily come before October 31, 2010." "However, it is clear to us that the next version of GTA will arrive before the end of [Fiscal Year 2011]," he added.


No word on any game details and Rockstar North is keeping a tight lid on information leaking to the public, but with this news hitting the slate, its clear that GTA isn't slowing down anytime soon and we at G.N. are proud to hear that.

STAYING ASLEEP

Why? Why is it always the good games that have to get pushed back. Well, it happened again, and to our good friend Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams. Now there's nothing wrong with a pushback, but it leaves fans of the franchise a little salty, and since the game takes place deep in the ocean, the feeling isn't too suprising.

Take Two's Ben Feder stated, "The decision to push back a game is never a simple one. We felt it was necessary to invest additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what fans expect and deserve." Nothing wrong with that Mr. Feder, because that means 2010 is slated to be a big year for Take Two with Bioshock 2, Mafia 2, Max Payne 3, and Red Dead Redemption.
