Ok, that I can buy. Your claim of "after next fall" is far more reasonable than "next E3".

That's true. But R* have fairly predictable marketing, and it's wildly different than Sony's. Personally, I don't believe Orbis or Durango are fall, but we'll know soon enough.Well, to tie this back on topic, we do know notably more about it than GTAV.
Durango is fall. Durango was supposed to be last fall.

I disagree. Take a look at Assassin's Creed III. In most cases all the demos given were on the PC version, probably all the trailers were from the PC version. The PC version has to be on par with the console version (aka done) yet they delay it at the last minute.
It only makes sense that they don't want PC sales to take away from the console sales so they delay it or release it later.
I know several people who were planning to buy PC on day one (back when Ubisoft was still saying it was releasing same day) that were not going to get a console version. Now they are getting a console version and probably the PC version down the road.
The Publisher/Devs now get twice the money from some people.
You're using the failure to deliver for twelve months as evidence for the likelihood they won't fail to deliver for even a month more?
Not really, in most cases it was the ps3 version.
Isn't the PC delay only like several weeks in regards to AC3? As far as I was aware it was still coming out in November, just not day and date with consoles. Could be wrong, though. I'm not a big AC fan.

Unless we hear about the PC version dropping the same day I will end up double dipping on the PS3 and PC version.

They don't want PC piracy to take away from console sales. I seem to recall Ubisoft has strongly suggested (or outright admitted) as much in interviews.
Actually I meant to say it was supposed to be this fall, so I apologize first and foremost.
So, what I'm saying is it'll be next fall because the only reason it didn't come out this fall is MS is already doing a lot of other things. They're launching Windows 8, SmartGlass, another Windows phone, Halo 4 which is current-gen anyway. I don't think Durango would've gotten lost in the shuffle, but why put it in a group when it can shine alone?
It fits with their newfound stance on DRM.
Max Payne 3 was a pleasant deviation from this trend.
The dog/pet in the artwork is the most interesting fact for me.

With AssCreed, Sony and UbiSoft have a co-marketing deal so that may be contract related.
It was an unpleasant deviation sales-wise.
Should have made a better game, then.

Hopefully we get police dogs.
We're still waiting on female police officers.
It's weird how they get so hung up on some stupid shit, some times.
Agreed, all of that is possible with a PC.
That being said its still a day 1 pick up for my Xbox 360, but I am a little disappointed we got Max Payne 3 on release but not GTA V, hopefully it won't be a god awful port job like IV was.
just like their stock
It would be hysteria. Probably one of the most hilarious moments in gaming history.
Play Grand Theft Stallion again.
I liked Red Dead more than GTA IV, anyway. And I liked GTA quite a bit.
Haha, seriously =[
I'm getting excited, but then I remember that even with (hopefully) a bunch of new info next month, it'll still be a while before I see the final thing.
I think I might get San Andreas on Steam soon to help tide me over. Haven't played that since before GTA IV came out.
So did I. It'll be a near impossible task for them to top that ending.
maybe you can attach c4s on dogs and send them to enemies and blow em up
call of duty style
I didn't like it near as much.
dat ending.
Yeah, maybe I'll play through the whole PS2 trilogy. Just have to hope for a Steam sale on the GTA pack next month.

Rockstar sure does love spring releases.
Wouldn't worry about it. GTA goes on sale more than anything not published by Eidos.
Yeah I have so many copies of the PS2 trilogy. All three PS2 originals, the Xbox pack (III and VC IIRC), and the Steam pack. Think I picked up the Steam pack for like $7.50 or something crazy during one of the sales, no reason not to get it for that price, I thought.
Nice. Guess I'll just wait then.
I only have my original PS2 copies for each, but after seeing San Andreas on a friend's PC recently I'd like to replay them there. They run so much smoother than the PS2 versions. Stuff popping in when you're driving around is pretty much gone also.
It's easy for me. None of the stuff coming out looks interesting to me until Q1. Hell, this, Bioshock, and South Park are the only things next year that I really want. Cyberpunk's release date is still up in the air. End of the gen is the worst for someone who still digs big budget releases that aren't roller coaster rides
and maybe that Kamiya Wii U game
San Andreas on PS2 was a rather horrible experience, I remember. It betrays the true game, honestly.
The Xbox Original version on 360 is also a bummer. Real bad framerate and no proper 720 or 1080 support.
PC it is. Anything can run that these days.
