Feels like some kind of HD remake, really. That game was so good, I wish they had made a sequel, or will at some point. It could have some cool 3DS effects like skyscrapers literally poking up out of the screen at you and stuff.

Rockstar is officially a retard company run by idiots if they don't re-use the Drug Wars ripoff mini/meta-game from Chinatown wars.

ElwoodCuse posted:The fiscal year is whatever anyone wants it to be. Remember that Rockstar is owned by Take-Two Interactive. Take-Two's fiscal year runs from April 1 - March 31. The company reported a net loss for fiscal '12 and recently downgraded its full-year outlook for fiscal 2013 due to slower-than-expected sales of certain titles. They've got Bioshock Infinite still coming out, but I have to imagine that they're leaning on Rockstar to deliver GTAV sooner rather than later, especially since there's no Max Payne 3, L.A. Noire or Red Dead Redemption drawing QA and other resources from Rockstar North.

I enjoyed the game but it was inside a very crowded launch window which I would assume places it into the "slower than expected sales" category.

gently caress it, combine the two series. Take out 3 radio stations and replace all the audio space on the disc with random inner monologues that trigger based on what you see on the street.

The street preacher shouted down the night like a man who just caught his children playing with a gun. His endlessly creative shamings put me out of the mood for driving the Comet parked outside. Sin. Theft. Self loathing. The reflection off the obscenely expensive paintjob made me want to throw up. The thought made me decide to walk to Cluckin' Bell... ... Here we go again. Sometimes I thank God I'm too drunk to remember how I ended up on this bridge, going 100 miles an hour with a screaming passenger I don't even know. Very wrong place...very wrong time. I can see her calculating the odds in the slow-motion moment...jump out this demon of a moving vehicle? Or grip the seat and hope the cops ahead at the roadblock don't think you're an accomplice....

It sure as gently caress did. I remember that thing when I went to get my Diablo 3 at midnight. So, assuming 2k goes under soon because it always feels like they're in trouble and/or relying on Rockstar to bail them out, who would the publisher for Rockstar's games be? EA seems a bit dried out these days and it would be silly to want to align with them in this time frame, but companies like THQ, and Activision, aren't much better ran. I'd honestly go with either Sega or Square-Enix. Jupiter Jazz fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Oct 22, 2012 |

Is Rockstar not a big enough company to be able to self publish? (Most of) their games, GTA especially, sell like gangbusters. Or is there more to it than just money? Either way, I can't see Sega publishing a GTA game. Of the two, Square-Enix seems the most likely.

Squre-Enix becoming Rockstar's publisher would be hilarious and kind of awesome. But yeah I honestly have no idea why they don't just become a publisher themselves, I can't think of a developer with a better track record overall. I guess the issue would be that they don't put out enough games. I can't believe Max Payne 3 was a flop, but then I remember that I still haven't bought it myself.

Could anyone argue against Rockstar not self publishing?

Do yourself a favor and keep it that way. It's so bad it will ruin the first two games for you. Himuro posted:Could anyone argue against Rockstar not self publishing? Once you climb in bed with a publisher their goal is to keep you dependent on them for funding. Rockstar makes what are probably THE most expensive to produce games in the industry, which also have some of the most expensive marketing campaigns. They are not getting free of those shackles any time soon, but it's their own drat fault for choosing them.

They self publish(Max Payne 3, GTAIV, Bully, Red dead, Midnight Club) and published LA Noire(The devs bankrupted and I had no idea ). I imagine they would continue doing so.

Rockstar probably could sustain itself on its own, and they definitely already publish their own titles, but the thing is that they're owned by Take-Two Interactive so they can't exactly choose who they work with. And as costly as Rockstar's games are, they usually make up that cost multiple times on the first week of sales (with Max Payne 3 being a notable exception) so I don't see why T2 would possibly want to get rid of Rockstar, considering GTA basically funds the whole company. 2K Games definitely doesn't own Rockstar, they're just the other subsidiary T2 Interactive owns. e: Also, a GTA game with the Max Payne monologues would be amazing. Especially if Rockstar recorded a bunch of monologues, including for completely insane situations, such as flying cars (swing set glitch) and poo poo.

And as for publishers, self-publishing would be my first bet, Bethesda second. R* is definitely one of the more reliable developers and I would put them up there with id, but we all know what happened to id In a perfect world, John Carmack would buy out R* with his hard earned futurebux and GTA: Hell on Earth would come bundled with Oculus Rift and packaged inside of a brick of gold. vvvvvv Yeah that's true. I didn't know why I didn't consider Valve either. John Carmack is just the greatest person though

I think I'd much rather see Valve buy out id or just give Carmack a decent enough incentive to jump ship. With Valve he'd at least have the freedom to go off and work on the things that he finds interesting (3d headsets, rockets, etc.). You can hear the sadness in his voice during some of his interviews when he talks about having to put his projects aside to do things for ZeniMax. I'd much rather see John Carmack given the freedom to do whatever he wants at a place like Valve and being beholden to customers than to have to spend his time helming a mega game corp or answering to a room full of shareholders.
