Rockstar set to announce new
titles at E3
<p> <a href="
tweaktown.com/ne...x.html">tweaktown.com/ne.../a>
</p> <p>Take-Two teases that Rockstar is working on
some "exciting <a href= " future projects"">tweaktown.com/#"...jects"
which will be revealed soon, likely teasing Red Dead Redemption 2
and maybe <a href= "
tweaktown.com/ne....html" target="_blank">GTA
6</a>.</p> <p>We already know Rockstar <a
href= "
tweaktown.com/ne....html" target="_blank">won't release Red
Dead Redemption 2 until after April 2017</a> (FY2018),
but the game will almost certainly be revealed at E3 2016--and
possibly GTA 6 too. <span>"Looking ahead, we expect to
grow Non-GAAP revenues and earnings in fiscal 2018, based on our
robust development plan that extends well beyond the current fiscal
year. Rockstar Games is of course hard at work on some exciting
future projects that will be revealed soon,"</span> Take
Two <a href= " CEOÂ Strauss">tweaktown.com/#"...trauss
Zelnick said during the company's recent FY16 <a href= "
ir.take2games.com/ph...69446" target="_blank">press
release</a>.</p> <p>Zelnick further hinted at
that the publisher has major AAA titles in its pipeline which will
bolster FY2018 earnings significantly--what would boost sales
higher than GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2? "You mentioned
you expect growth on revenue and earnings for FY18, so what gives
you the confidence to say that now?" an analyst asked during
the call's Q&A session. "It's what we're working on in our
development studios," said CEO Strauss Zelnick. "We have
very good visibility into our pipeline, and based on what we see,
it gives us high confidence for FY18
growth," Take-Two <a href= " President Karl">tweaktown.com/#"...p;Karl
Slatoff added.</p> According to recent leaks, Red Dead
Redemption 2 will be called "<a href= "
tweaktown.com/ne....html" target="_blank">Legends of the Old
West</a>" and is set in a prequel timeline. Based on the
recently <a href= "
tweaktown.com/ne....html" target="_blank">leaked in-game
map</a>, the open-world Western will be absolutely massive,
even more so than the original. <p>When it comes to Grand
Theft <a href= " Auto VI,">tweaktown.com/#"...sp;VI,
however, we don't know much. Rockstar has confirmed GTA 6 is indeed
coming, and the devs have "some ideas" rolling about.</p>
<p>"We've got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do. We
don't know what GTA 6 will be, but we've got some ideas," said
ex-Rockstar president Leslie Benzies. "It comes from the idea
first. Where is it going to be set is the first question. Then that
defines the missions; you're doing different things in LA than in
New York or Miami. The map and story get worked up together, and
the story is a basic flow of how it works out so you can layer the
missions in".</p> <p>So there you have it; Zelnick is
pretty much confirming that Rockstar is making something absolutely
huge, and based on the recent leaks, we're betting that it's Red
Dead Redemption 2. Grand Theft Auto 6 could be teased and not
necessarily revealed, giving gamers time to build up a huge
crescendo of hype before its release. Remember Zelnick says "<a
href= " projects",">tweaktown.com/#"...>",
as in plural, so we could see both games revealed.</p>
<p>The E3 2016 reveal should be pretty insane, and we'll be
sure to update you once it's formally announced.</p>

Jester,
Yeah - At first it made me wonder, "Who put psilocyban in my
coffee?", and then I realized it was the website that was on drugs.
Or perhaps there was something in its program that, like
mathematics, said, "Show your work."
ALSO - thanks to lt cap once again - I never would've caught
stories like that about NOK in "Lightreading". It's good to know
that such critical tests, and their success, were not done by
'diminutive Finnish Elves'. I assume the benefits of such feats
won't be widely known until they get deployed and it shows up on
the bottom line - but success in such endeaors if very
encouraging.

Jamok,
I too am very pleased that ALU developed a good set of NFV (SDN)
products, I continue to think that NOK got a great deal (NOK paid
just above one times revenue), they got a whole set of technologies
for a good price, IMO. This is very important in order to ensure a
place at the SDN table when it begins to cut into the Routing and
Switching market, i.e. a path forward to remain relevant. And
as you recall, this will be a yarly license fee, in the long term I
would guess it will ensure a very steady stream of money for years
to come, instead of a one time payment for the Equipment.
