questionnaire 


Reliable


valid 

dose it measure what its meant to measure.

Market Research, trends etc. - Military sim
Platform - Hardware limitations. Made specifically for PC
Community + Target audience - Made for a mature audience, due to the concept of war its general realistic military tactics
Software/Game Engine - The company was required to do the appropriate research of the game in order to produce a suitable game engine that had appropriate physics, but which also has middleware which can fill in gaps that don't need to be done such as vegetation. This includes the AI being programmed with the knowledge of military tactics, and how to counter an opponents action, when to retreat etc.
PEGI rating - 18
Concept research - Vehicles, equipment, camouflage, spying on a Greek military base that got two of their developers arrested. The game was also banned in Iran as the hostile/'evil' faction known as CSAT seems very similar to the Iranian armed forces, they even speak Iranian and have a entire battle group with Iranians in.
Military models - They use a range of weaponry and equipment that, despite the difference in name, can be seen as similar to real world vehicles and weapons. This would be classified as primary market research because the development team had access to the real weapons and vehicles, having the ability to hold them in their office.
Languages - Since their are multiple factions present in the game itself research was required for pronunciations, while also providing appropriate scripts for the characters.
Location - Geographical terrain on the map itself. The game takes parts of Greek territory and use it as independent nations, while having a single place designed off a Oceania island. This was done by the lead environmental designer, Martin Pezlar and his team who would have used the geographical terrain of:
Limnos = Altis
Lefkada = Malden
Ag. Efstratios = Stratis
Fiji = Tanoa, notably the main island itself
This also goes along with the fact members of the development team were arrested for photographing Greek military bases in Greece.
Beta Testing - Before the final variant of the game was released the game went out on a public beta, all be it priced. This would be primary research as they have access to the playerbases opinions and ideas about the game

GTAONLINE-INFOGRAPHIC-V2A





The publisher’s “GTA Online Census” reveals that just shy of 34 million players in 224 different countries have logged into GTA Online. Between them, GTA Online players have created nearly 10 million jobs and played a staggering 5.9 billion jobs.


2009 October 28—First GTA V-related clues found... (or so we thought.)

2009 November 15—GTA V hinted by Rockstar lead Dan Houser
Newspaper: "The script he will end up co-writing will run to around 1,000 pages, nearly ten times as much as a feature film."

2010 March 5—Industry expert predicts a pre-E3 GTA V announcement
Financial analyst Mike Hickey: "We believe there is building suspension for a pre-E3 announcement, although we expect nothing from Rockstar at this year's official E3 event." (Note that this will happen again and again.)

2010 May 4—'Leaked' pre-E3 document mentions Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 2

2010 July 27—GTA V is set in Los Angeles! Probably
GTAV.net: "...an independent source had informed them that Rockstar is definitely researching locations "around Hollywood... and the surrounding area
2011 February 26—New theory: StopPayingYourMortgage.net = GTA V-related website
A bunch of URLs registered by Rockstar-owning publisher Take-Two—among them gems like CashforDeadDreams.com and SixFigureTemps.com—suggest Rockstar wants to satirize the recession this time around. Except maybe at the time of writing there'd still be nothing interesting on these sites.
2011 March 7—Possible codename for GTA V: Rush
Google search wizard superannuation manages to dig up some interesting casting details about an upcoming Rockstar title. (Superannuation later lands a gig at Kotaku.)
2011 March 29—Take-Two starts hiring voice talent, likely for GTA V
Rockstar announces a casting call for characters that would fit perfectly into any GTA title—including one with the same name as a pedophilic radio host from GTA IV. Coincidence?
