Grand Theft Auto V launching Oct. 23, 2012, predicts analyst

if the rumours of the map r true, then the size of this game will go to a whopping 50GB !!!

I hope they delay it for as long as possible to make sure its polished.

IF THIS RELEASE DATE IS TRUE ? I WILL THEN HAVE ALMOST ALL MY 3RD PERSON GAMES FOR THIS YEAR AND I WILL BE BUSY > FUN FUN FUN !

i thought it was being released in march next year?

cant wait.. i hope it releases on oct this year

Who else only buys GTA for the radio stations?  Just me, ok :(

I have no interest in Bioshock Infinite.  First game, Classic.   Sequel, better gameplay, weaker story.  Bio:I to me is just lining the cashcow up to be milked.

me sooo horny

me love gta long time

i really hope it does cause theres only acouple games that seemed like the developers took time making

Delay it if you want, but bring the best out of it. Good luck RSTAR.

It'll be out in FALL just have faith.

I'll wait until R* gives their release date to believe anything about what Pachter said!

i dont care what year it comes just whatever year it is come out around christmas it will make my year if i get this game and i hope it isnt a disapointment but probaly wont be because rockstar is the best game company ever and takes time into to making games

Take all the time you need, Rockstar. I'm still having fun with San Andreas eight years later.

As expected. I commented on the teaser trailer about how they would release this year. They had shown us too much for it not to be. Looks like an expensive couple of weeks. Getting all those except BO2.

i think every wants this game some are saying they want it now some are saying they want it later so Rockstar can make the game perfect why dosen't everyone sit down and be quiet and wait till the developers announce it so everyone can be satisfied

Blah, blah, blah. I'm getting really tired of reading articles that are nothing but speculation. I want some NEWS. Until Rockstar officially confirms the release date, I'm gonna quit reading these articles.

Interesting

LIES this guy is an idiot. Assassins Creed 3 Is a week later after the 23rd! im sick of everyone predicting this Rockstar Delayed Max Payne 3 AGAIN from the 15th to the 29th! Just shut up with the guesses Thats like me guessing Disney will make 350 million with Avengers and Dark knight will make $600 million when in reality Michael and I don't know *^&^

I'd like it to be October, but if it takes longer I honestly don't mind. I've loved every single Grand Theft Auto to be released, no doubt in my mind that this will be the best. Take your time Rockstar :)

Rockstar should release it one day before or after just to spite that analyst Michael Pachter.

I would expect it next year, this analyst is talking out of his bumholio in my opinion.

I don't care. I will patiently wait for the game's release, whenever may it be. I sold my soul to Rockstar long ago...

People are saying it would be dumb to release it because of Hallo 4 and big games due out. Im 100% positive GTA 5 would outsell all of those titles.

GTA 5 Most Come In PC or i will die.......... :(

Rubbish.

i hate predictions! some fortune teller predicted i will have success with money....success my a*s!

how can an analyst predict when a game company is releasing a major game? go get a career as a fortune teller.

While on the face of it, it sounds like good news, but what does Wedbush Securities have to do with Rockstar in the real world? They're a Financial Services and Investment firm, ffs.

It drives me nuts that they had to write "five" across the Roman numeral because too many morons can't understand it's not "Grand Theft Auto Vee."

@Psycold Dude what are you talking about GTA has always been on consoles it was never stolen from PC. honestly your whole comment sounds ridiculous all the GTA's have come on the PC same as consoles the only major R* game the PC didn't get was RDR but to say that consoles stole R* from PC is dumb if anything R* started off on consoles anyway.

@Lordcrabfood Heck no dude there terrible I was agreeing with you trust me you don't want to hear there music.

October 23rd. My 34th birthday! Also, in the year 2077 on October 23rd, Nuclear bombs will destroy the world. (According to Fallout lore)

This game is going to be an absolute BEAST!! Can't wait for the Fall, so many great titles! But Max Payne 3 and Darksiders 2 will keep me plenty busy until the late year rush.

"Analyst" is another name for someone who gets paid to contributes nothing of any value to society.

As long as the game comes out before christmas I'll be happy.

After the console market stole GTA from us PC gamers with GTA3, every release Rockstar mentions nothing about a PC version then ends up releasing it a year later. This has been consistent with the GTA series, but they never released Red Dead for PC so that somewhat changes my opinion. It is still possible that PC gamers might never see this one.

No matter what this is going to be a first day buy for me. I dunno though, I'm getting used to buying a Rockstar game every May now. They wouldn't have a game to release next May then. :(

PC please not a year after!!!!!! and before u thumbs me down console fanboy i have a question, why?

Oct 2012 release date. Delayed to April 2013. Just like IV. :)

I'm pretty sure many gamers would love to see GTA V to launch this year, but part of me thinks it's highly unlikely. I dont know, it just seems too soon imo. if it doesnt gets released this year, well we got enough games to keep us busy for this fall.

@Marky360 So I am assuming you believe that these artists have talent, I have honestly not heard of any of them so I will have to take your word for it.

Pachter seems to think a lot of things regarding GTA V, he said 2013 initially.... I've said all along I think a late 2013 release is likely, Max Payne 3 isn't being developed by Rockstar North, I see no reason they couldn't release 2 AAA titles in 1 year, many other publishers do it; too often in fact. Looking at the release schedule this year there's a week free from a major title in October, just after Resident Evil 6 and Medal Of Honor but before Halo 4, Bioshock Infinite and Black Ops 2, could be just a coincidence? Wait and see I suppose. If it doesn't, Assassin's Creed 3 will keep me busy.

pachter's predictions are just predictions and he was wrong many times before. it's just an educated guess. besides, whenever it comes to the consoles is irrelevant to me. im anticipating the PC version.... :-P if it ever comes out....

This year would be great but if they will release it next year it will be even better, more time on the game :D.

i think and i hope it will be this year in OCTOBER. and if you look at GTA series most of them in OCTOBER.

no way, i highly doubt it as so many other blockbuster games are due out around then. besides i remember reading somewhere about this, it'd be slightly impractical to release it so close to games like Halo 4 :P

well we got max payne 3 in a few weeks . so i highly doubt we will get gta v this year . but would be awesome if it was this year.

uhh yeah it's not coming out this year. No way.

Grand theft auto is a drug and I need my fix, I can't wait until october. I need it now. lol
