We should all know by now, if a lie will get more clicks than the truth, that's what they will go with.

 

[GreatnessRD]

That shit still getting delayed, haha.

 

[Edmund]

I hope Kotaku closes down soon. Those stupid fucks rely on lies to drive traffic. Kotaku died when Mike Fahey passed away.

Like Eurogamer which is on life support, the more desperate they get for clicks the more bullshit, controversy and negative articles they will churn out.

 

[IAmRei]

kotaku is awful anyway...

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

So it never occurred to anyone, how Kotaku would know that a game that is over 18 or so months out... was going to get delayed?

Even Rockstarr doesn't know that yet.

 

[WitchHunter]

Just let them work on the Hindenburg. Who knows about the release date, ufos might land any time now.

 

[zkorejo]

I don't believe them. Will get delayed to 2026. It's a tradition at this point.

 

[March Climber]

I look forward to this thread bump in 2025/2026 depending on who's right.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

If Kotaku was in paper print you wouldn't even wipe your arse with it if you was in dire need.

You can know very well a project is going to be delayed even if it is over 18 months out.

 

[LQX]

If history is any indication, I would not dismiss the likelihood of a Rockstar game getting delayed.

 

[amigastar]

"on Schedule"
That's what i wanna hear.

 

[SJRB]

Kotaku trying to bring in clicks with bullshit stories to make a case against the whole "write guides instead of news" policy.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

"on Schedule"
That's what i wanna hear.

Releasedate is February next year.

 

[amigastar]

Releasedate is February next year.

Hell, Yeah!!

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

You don't wipe shit with shit.

 

[Portugeezer]

Even if Shittaku is full of shit, the game could still get delayed.

 

[justiceiro]

There is a reason Kotaku staff was told to focus on guides instead of "news"

 

[Kerotan]

Considering they've not even announced a release date in 2025 yet it was always speculation.

 

[diffusionx]

You know what else is falling behind? Kotaku's guide writing quota.

 

[Deerock71]

Even Rockstarr doesn't know that yet.

Will anyone apologize to Kotaku when they end up being right?

 

[amigastar]

[tamago84]

Koshitku is nothing more than 30 slideshow ai written articles to pad up ad pages.

 

[MayauMiao]

Someone ought to add community notes on that Kotaku tweet.

 

[AmuroChan]

Yep, and you can tell from the headline that Kotaku was trying to push an agenda by tying the story to Rockstar making its employees come back into the office.

 

[Valedix]

Kotaku is just a rage/click-baiting platform that everyone should ignore at this point

 

[NickFire]

I can't be the only one who found the big scoop rather suspicious so soon after the news about focusing on guides.

 

[Chuck Berry]

On schedule to be delayed

 

[StereoVsn]

On schedule to be delayed

Yep, don’t care what they say chances are the game will get pushed back. And we will be lucky if the push back is to still a 2025 date.

 

[TVexperto]

Kotaku loosing all credibility they have very fast..

 

[LordOcidax]

Some people still doubting that the game is going to be delay??? Are you new around?

 

[SJRB]

Will anyone apologize to Kotaku when they end up being right?

Stating a possible delay from a company that is notorious for its delays isn't exactly a Nostradamus-tier prediction.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Will anyone apologize to Kotaku when they end up being right?

Will anyone shut them down if they end up being wrong?

And that's the issue with this, and you shouldn't encourage it. Can the game get delayed? Absolutely. But this kinda reporting is like me saying, its going to rain sometime in April. Like duh?

Kotaku should not make an article like this, without corroboration or at the very least a quote from the developer. The game doesn't even have an official release date yet.

So it doesn't matter if they "end up" being right, that such a phrase can even be used here embodies the issue. A news publication should not be putting shit out that "may or may not" be true.

 

[Hudo]

It's "on schedule" to be delayed. Because let's fucking face it. It's a Rockstar Games game... it's gonna be delayed at least once.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The Kotaku article was like: "the game is due next year but might get delayed from 6 to 18 months"

No shit, Sherlock. I make predictions like that from my couch. They wrote a bait no-news article as a knee-jerk reaction so some people not in the loop of the current events believe they are reporters instead of propagandists.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

A major blockbuster AAA games like GTA VI with so much content, voice acting, 3D art, development, and QA check could be delayed.

Even an absolute, clinically retarded person can predict this and it wound up being true, because let's face it, it doesn't take a genius to figure out the possibility of a rock star game being delayed.

The fact that they wrote an article like this baffles me.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I never understood why anyone continues to give Kotaku attention.

 

[Represent.]

This game is too big to get delayed. They will patch and fix post launch, not delay. I imagine they've told their investors a date and are expected to stick to it.

 

[aliadiere25]

They probably do have a release date of early 2025, but it's mostly likely getting delayed to late 2025.

 

[Fake]

Kotaku should make more guides.

 

[VanCityGamer]

I think the delay will be from early 2025 to September/October 2025. A delay beyond that seems incredibly unlikely to me.

We don’t even know when in 2025 it’s coming out yet

 

[tkscz]

When the first trailer dropped, was there a release date announced? If there isn't one, then how can the game be delayed?

 

[VanCityGamer]

We don’t even know when in 2025 it’s coming out yet

I realize that. It’s all speculation and rumors at this point. There have been plenty of hints from many sources (including their own CEO) that early 2025 was at least the original plan though.

 

[tylrdiablos]

Add Kotaku to your Windows Hosts file so you never give them as much as an accidental click.
(And block them on Twitter.)

Starfield got delayed tho, and is the biggest thing just behind GTA

 

[Teh Chosen Juan]

but he said there were good people on both sides!!!! and he told us to inject bleach!!!
