Grand Theft Auto V is quite possibly the strangest PlayStation 4 game to date. Pegged for release later this year, the title still doesn’t have a firm release date – or any real details at all attached to it. In a financial meeting earlier in the year, publishing overlord Take Two stated that the next-gen port is still on track, but despite us expecting it to put in an appearance at Gamescom earlier in the month, the title was nowhere to be seen.
And now, VG247 is reporting that the re-release may have been delayed. According to the site, the title was only presented to retail partners at the convention in Cologne, with speculation spreading about a move into 2015. However, on its support site, a Rockstar Games representative has denied the reports. “[The] release date has not changed,” a spokesperson said. We guess that we just need to keep waiting for a date, then.

Word on the street is it's gonna be a last gen timed exclusive
@MoleZandor
@MoleZandor lol, not sure about that. You can't believe all those rumours you know!?

Really don't care...same game as before with shinier graphics. I have better things to spend money on.
I'm really hoping this looks as good if not better than Max Payne 3 did.
Pre-release bullshots of GTAV last gen looked around that quality, but of course I didn't actually expect it to since MP3 is linear and GTAV is open-world.
@N711 Wait, Cara Delevigne was the Non-Stop Pop host!? Haha, I didn't know that. More All Saints tracks, please.
What's this? Another high profile PS4 game being delayed (potentially anyways)?? This is getting discouraging.
Remember when Drive Club was supposed to come out at launch? And then sometime in Q1? Considering that Drive Club and The Order are the two games that I'm holding out for all these delays aren't really giving me that much confidence here.
Even Sony's surprised at how well the PS4 is selling? Imagine how it'll sell once its games actually come out.
Here's something companies can try: maybe don't mention a release date until you're confident that you can actually reach it.
@Diddy_kong It's just a rumour at the moment, and it looks like it's false judging by Rockstar/Cara Delevigne's comments above. (Not that she'd probably have access to the latest release information.)
@Dodoo I dunno, this rumour came from a pretty reliable source.
@Diddy_kong that would be nice.
Boy I hope so.
@Munkyknuts I totally agree with you, at one time I was hyped for heists that they obviously lied about coming out, but now too many games I want this year to even consider a Gtav port. R* will have a shock if they think people are bothered about Gtav, when we have far cry 4, COD,AC,The crew, Shadow of mordor, etc etc. Bye bye Gtav online, you had your chance.
@molee94 I agree there are better games on the horizon which will be emptying my pockets and you've mentioned half of the ones I want. The Witcher 3 is the one im looking forward to the most.
I do think GTA V will sell a lot though. You just have to look at the numbers sold so fair and the amount of people who still play it online.
I have a feeling this will release around Christmas time as there isn't as many games due out around that time which will help sales. The months leading upto and after Christmas are jammed with top titles so I doubt it would be a good idea to release GTA then which leaves December. Everyone who gets a PS4 as an xmas gift will more then likely pick up GTA too.
Please watch the language -Tasuki-
I didnt get gtav on ps3 or last of us as i traded it in 5 months before ps4 came out so i could save for it, and well ive played last of us on ps4 and was glad i held out for that and i can assure you it will be the same for gta5, alot of people will double dip for the new gtav cause they all buy the next cod that comes out and thats basicaly the same game everytime.
Oh no!? meh.
Well I am in no rush since I wont be able to buy any new games for awhile so this news doesn't really bother me.

I think those saying gta v won't sell well are jumping the gun. I can see it selling very well. It came out at a point where I for one had traded in my ps3 to save for the ps4 so I missed it. I think r* will still do very well with it. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
