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 think they should release a trailer every month till the game is out that should be easy I do not care if its 1 part in a mission or them offroading in a damn hummer I want to see more so far GTA 5 is the most wanted game by them and they keep blowing it off and trying to get you into max pain 3 and other crap I personaly do not like and its getting annoying waiting what the 1st trailer was a year ago or close? and we get something...2 pix?? I think by this rate we should have the game in 2 years and no time in between that.

SovietRussia I thought that it may be released next spring but this is making me think it will be sooner.


I'm sure I read something saying it will be released later than we've been told...
