One year more, and it rivals Duke Nukem Forever.
The wait for GTA 6 has now been so long it must be some kind of record - right? [Eurogamer]

I cant imagine that game being allowed today. Maybe if they replaced the male hero with a young girl hero it would be accepted.

Can I ask, what are your thoughts on 1984?

Holy shit, not a word about the abusive (illegal?) layoffs and the union busting in this article. Not even in the other article linked in the first paragraph! Shame!

And when it finally does drop, it’s just a slightly prettier version of GTA 5.

How does it compare to all the early access games that end up strung along for a decade+ and not officially released?

At least in that case, the devs have presented playable content. I don’t think I would count that if I was trying to determine the record.

Skyrim?

The record is for time from announcement to release. ES6 was announced 7 years ago, so we’re getting there but not quite. It might still break the record by the time it comes out…

GTA is a console selling machine and thats why it was delayed to coincide with the console releases.

I’ll have to remember to ask my grandchildren when they inherit my copy of Star Citizen in time for release (I don’t have children).

And if you did, they wouldn’t be able to inherit your digital licence.

The wait for Half-Life 3 is longer.

I think a game has to actually release to break this record. And in the article, Purchese points out that the current record holder is Duke Nukem Forever, while Beyond Good & Evil 2 might break the record if it ever actually comes out.

What was the wait for Diakantana?
Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 weeks ago
yea, and be announced

The wait is nothing, though I guess the definition of “active development”, publicly confirmed development etc… To my knowledge HL3 has been in some form of development since, HL2, but

Rockstar has repeatedly reminded us that GTA6 is in active development. Valve hasn't even mentioned HL3 in a very long time, I think it's safe to conclude it's dead and has been dead for a while now.
