In what has come as absolutely no surprise at all it has been confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V will not be on show at E3 next month. That’s not to say that it may not be available for some backstage viewing by the rich and famous but for the plebs of the industry, us, it’s not going to be shown.
This was confirmed by Take-Two who have stated that none of the 2K titles will be shown at E3 this year and while they like the show and will be there they won’t be showing anything… make sense?
Both Rockstar Games and 2K have instead decided to focus their marketing and PR efforts on a series of events throughout the spring and summer. Our team, however, will be present at the show, and we look forward to seeing many of you there
So they’ll be there but with nothing to show and yet they look forward to seeing us there… Maybe I’m missing something here but what’s the point?
It’s not a major blow to E3 as Rockstar rarely, if ever, show anything off at E3 so this is just confirmation of the normal process.

They probably don’t see value in being there. The cost to be there is probably incredibly high VS the amount of PR and marketing they can generate on their own.

“There will be no GTAV…” made my heart skip a beat. Thought it might say PC…

There wouldnt be a point in showing more on GTA 5, its would give away more than its worth.. They want people to have to buy it to see whats so special about it. Show too many pics or trailers and its old news. I mean Saints row 3 I saw all the trailers and was like “Id rather stick to Gta thanks”

More importantly, is there going to be any GTA Cosplay? Because I would approve of the Red Bikini Girl…

No no, there is a difference between being sexist (Go get me a beer because you are a woman) and appreciating the fine female form (You look smoking hot in that bikini) I rest my case…

Just saying, it seems as if you are interested in ogling a semi nude female instead of the game which is being showcased :-

I’m not that much of a GTA fan… So can you really blame me?

Ok… so now there’s absolutely no reason to have E3 this year… I always look forward to seeing what’s going on at E3, but not this year with all these companies not having stands or showings
