There's a quest chain in GTA6 that requires you to retrieve it. Rumor has it it takes inspiration from the watch scene in pulp fiction.

It hasn't been already?

They call it Take-Two because they're taking a big #2 on video gaming as a whole

Did it include invites to the peacock parties and the USB full of porn??

That PD game is going to flop or it is canned.

Yeah not so sure about that.
Immersive sims dont exactly sell out, and immersive sim-lite might do a bit better, not expecting it to hit like 15 million copies but it most certainly wont flop.

Whether it meets sales targets or not.....it looks like a hell of a fun time, and im all in.
So if it never gets a sequel, unlucky for me......but unless MS are SquareEnix 2.0 they should be happy if the game reaches even 5 million units across all its platforms. (it will come to PC day and date and will hit PS5 eventually).



Divesting Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montreal to Microsoft makes even more sense now.
The Eidos team is working with Playground games on Fable.......mate these guys might as well be in bed with each other already.

Meh
Take Two destroyed ksp 2
It will destroy this company too

 

[Hudo]

Which also means that Take Two own Homeworld now and we'll never ever see a Homeworld game ever again...

Good get. They distributed all their games anyway right?
