GTA4 Delayed until Q2 2008!

To delay probably one of the most awaited games for this year is a big let down :(


very very disapointed...

Even if it does take longer to code the PS3 version surely they must have know this when they started making the game????? :confused: :mad:

it seems sony have a hold over them. oh well, good things come to those who wait.
 
lol at all the people believing Michael Pachter.

Edit: If I was to go with any rumour I would probably go with the trouble of fitting all it all on a DVD. Fitting all that data onto the DVD without having it load was a challenge and perhaps the PS3 version was easier because of being able to do a pre-install to the hard drive.

It's bad news all around but I think everyone can safely say there are plenty of games coming this fall to keep them occupied.

msmalls' post is probably the best one worth reading in this thread.
once again I find myself agreeing with you - people will talk if we are not careful.
 
Glad you liked it, but can you leave me out of you're little love in :D

Theres a few interesting ideas about, but its not like its the first game ever to delayed 6 months is it.
 
I think its delayed to to XB360 just to annoy us ps3 owners :(

Taketwo are waiting untill the new fixed 360's are in the wild so they dont get blamed and sued for gta iv making players 360 self destruct :D
 
Theories are meaningless, we can all make up theories.

I'm going to choose to believe that aliens are the cause of the delay, they abducted some of the developers and Rockstar had to find new ones. That is about as plausible as "analyst speculation".

Fanbois will stop at nothing it seems to try and capitalise on every piece of news, regardless of known facts vs speculation. Depressing :(

Some people here really make the video games industry out to be like politics, honestly.
lol. It's not so bad when it's people who run these businesses, but when it's people here who don't have a clue about business in the first place talking crap it's annoying.
 
only thing that annoys me is Saints Row 2 could have come out this year possibly if no GTA like last year, to fill the void.

It really does make you wonder how difficult the PS3 is to programme for because its clearly a PS3 coding problem (many games have now shown this with bad ports, sloppy framerates, worse graphics), but in the end if as long as they get it all sorted and plough enough development time (seems PS3 needs much longer to get perfect results) into it then everyone is happy and it should be all sorted, but it does make me want to see what the differences between the two will be when finally released seeing they are delaying so much and we have already seem 360 based trailers, ect,ect

Damn, was hoping for a three way ;) :p

The internet conspiracy theories seem to be working overtime in this thread... it is what it is, GTAIV is delayed by six months which is very bad news IMO but as to the reasons why - what does it really matter?
 
If ps3 is the reason for the delay then why not release the 360 version in October if its finished?, because its behind aswell. Face it rockstar need the money and if one version was ready they would have released it, the whole project is behind. Theories are all well and good but the issue could be hdd needed for 360, ps3 programming issues either way both versions are behind and the only ones to blame are rockstar.

source?

you could just as easily say its a problem for them trying to compress everything onto DVD

none of us know the truth so why spout crap about it

I don't think it is a PS3 only problem, but it is possible. They wouldn't be released at different times because the contract signed by Microsoft and Sony were that it would release at the same time.
 
Why would they have a contract saying they will release it onto both consoles at the same time anyway?
It's not like one or the other is going to stop them from putting in on their console if they release it on another first - "Oh no we don't want your multi-million selling franchise on our console then" :)
