Nicko9000 7 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Hi guys, so i've been checking the careers section on the Rockstar website as I do every so often, and noticed a couple of job listings and responsibilities listed for Rockstar North (where almost all gta games are developed) that tell me an early (April-June) 2012 release unlikely for gta 5. Rockstar North Character Animator Qualifications "Professional experience developing a third person action game." Skills Exceptional skill in animating realistic human characters. Rockstar North Multiplayer Gameplay Programmer Rockstar North Character Development Assistant Responsibilities A strong creative sensibility: both media savvy & highly pop - culturally aware -------------------- There are more on there, but I just pointed out a few. As far as i'm aware R* arent working on anything else, so It tells me that there's still alot of work to be done and I don't think an early 2012 release would be likely unless they're rushing. Thoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Marney1 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 They're working on Agent too. Also, an early 2012 release is already ruled out by the fact Max Payne 3 is coming early 2012. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, Agent is likely going to be a single player stealth game, which means theres no multiplayer staff needed, and I highly doubt such a game would need to be influenced by pop culture.

Link to the source which says Agent won't have multiplayer. Fix'd post. It's most LIKELY gonna be single player. Splinter cell, hitman etc have always be single player, I personally don't feel like it would fit in this genre except for co op missions. Nothing is concrete as I explained in my first post, just wondered what you guys thought. I posted the three job listings that sounded most GTA-esque, and assuming i'm right in saying they're for GTA V, if they're still hiring for those positions at this stage a late 2012 release seem more likely to me.

marneyknuckle 30 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Everyone voted on like may 23? Or something .... Imo late 2012early2013 if not mid/late2013 especially if r* has job listings up. Idk how long it takes to make a game but I can bet its more than a year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freshsink950 11 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah, Max Payne 3 is already releasin in early 2012. GTA 5 better release in mid/late 2012. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 As stated, they also have Agent in the works and for all we know something else but GTA V and Agent are probably plenty of work for them. Also as stated, Max Payne is early 2012. None of the jobs you posted can give any indication to a release timeline. Even the Character Development Assistant doesn't really mean anything. It could be a job working on pedestrians or something less-important for all we know. Plus I doubt that is the only position they have. I'm sure there are others working that same position and they are simply looking to have more people to decrease the work load on others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marneyknuckle 30 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Its almost December. Everyone would know gta5 is coming out at lease 4 months in advance. That way they can release 2 or 3 official trailers on tv so everyone will know 2012 is right around the corner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tnz 6 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Let's hope GTA5 will be out before the 2012 doom's day (in december?), or let's hope there won't be a doom's day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marneyknuckle 30 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah I hope 2012 doomsday wont happen Gta 5 with some apocalypse elements would be sweet. Like random earthquakes however I do think it will be released late 2012 like around this time next year or early to even late 2013. We wont know for awhile I can't wait to hear what r* has to release next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 350 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 It will probably be late 2012 or early 2013, with the way Take2 CEO has predicted the 2012 fiscal year. I'm thinking they might hit us with a classic October release date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
