Take-Two investor call theme: Where's Grand Theft Auto 5?

4.5
The first half of Take-Two's question and answer session, during today's first quarter investor call, revolved around the theme of Grand Theft Auto 5 and its current status. Whether directly or indirectly, three questions in a row tried to eke out any details about the game, which appears to be part of the publisher's high revenue projections but still has an official "TBA" release date.

"Strauss, we've heard nothing, next to nothing, on GTA 5 development over the last couple months," said Mike Hickey of National Alliance Securities. "We've seen a couple screenshots. The game is believed by the street to be implied by your guidance for this fiscal year, but what believability do we have that this game is actually going to come out this year?"

CEO Strauss Zelnick responded, "We haven't talked about a release date. So obviously we can't talk about the credibility of a release date that we haven't announced."

Pushed further on whether the publisher is receiving consistent updates, the CEO deflected.

"We wouldn't talk publicly about the way we communicate with our teams internally," replied Zelnick. "We are blessed to be in business with the Rockstar folks and everyone knows that I feel that way. We have the best creative teams in the business across our company."

I doubt it will, I reckon Spring next year.


i believe its should come out late this year .. idk next year seems to long, its comes out in may 2013
nope it will be 3 years games that come out in this year and next will already be on the list even if they don't have rating don't get ur hopes up and i would rather it be 3 years than 2 or this year because later the better gta isn't like call of duty craping out games left and right so they can be horrible gta puts time in for instances go play max Payne 3 its not like the old ones its fully made by rock-star amazing campaign thats because they take them time fixing all bugs and mistakes give them time trust me it will be good. and remember it wont be for the next system it will be to make the game perfect because when a new system comes it they will re-release if they want and make even more money.
