GTA V: 5 Ways Rockstar Can Renew Interest

gtav Ever since Rockstar's increasingly unpopular decision to push the release date for Grand Theft Auto 5 back from Spring to September 2013, interest in the sandbox title has started to wane. In fact, following the fan-led backlash against the developers in the wake of the postponement, Rockstar have reverted to the quiet, inert marketing tactics they employed prior to their information blowout in the November issue of Game Informer. It has been a good long while now since fans have been treated to anything remotely new regarding the title, be it screenshots, a new trailer or even another magazine spread. With months and months of the calendar still stretching seemingly forever onward, and a whole 6 months left to wait for the latest in Rockstar's best-selling title, fans' patience is beginning to grow a little thin. Following the official unveiling of Ubisoft's Watch Dogs at the PlayStation 4 launch event in New York back in February, quiet murmurs have been building suggesting it could be a "Grand Theft Auto Beater" rather than a much panned clone in the same vein as "Driv3r" or even Saints Row. Indeed, given the close proximity of the release titles of both games, Rockstar have now found themselves in direct competition with Ubisoft's latest venture, and it is time they renewed interest in their title or risk being left in the looming shadows. Here are 5 ways they can renew our interest.
