GTA4 Pushed back to 2008

Grand Theft Auto IV delayed to 2008 - PlayStation 3 News at GameSpot

For both systems.

Dammit if this isn't just a rumor.

Doesn't this happen to some games all the time?

If I'm not mistaken, some companies tend to estimate their release dates due to the workflow they witness already, and if, by any chance, their workflow seems to be a bit clogged, it may be that they have to delay the release.

That, or it could be a sign of a half-ass job, like some bad games out there (I can't really think of examples off the top of my head right now, but I know there are some horrible games out there whose releases were delayed...a lot.)

Yeah it always sometimes happens.
Idiot.

How much % of development was achieved with this game?

I feel like X360's exclusive content may have something to do with it...

... or maybe not.

Mangojoyride · 08-02-2007, 09:56 PM

exclusive content would have ZERO to do with it. the first episode of exclusive content was scheduled for MAR 08. if GTA4 was delayed for both systems, they must have found a severe flaw that requires an overhaul to one of the games portions.

meh, figured as much.

No big deal.

BanYa4eVr · 08-02-2007, 10:56 PM

but at least GTA4 has more than a couple thumbnail sized screens.

Kind of dissapointing to hear it was delayed, i was really looking forward to it from the start. But if it means a more polished game, then I'm all for it.

Opethian · 08-03-2007, 10:45 AM

what about my Daikatana 2?

ColorOfSakura · 08-03-2007, 11:14 AM

I swear that GameStop has had GTA4 listed in their systems as Feb 1, 2008 for a long time.

BanYa4eVr · 08-03-2007, 02:08 PM

Well there goes Rockstar's record of releasing their GTA titles in October.

daikatana

Of course, there have been even more games that got delayed forever that ended up being GREAT. Diablo II, Neverwinter Nights, etc.

That's a low blow and that game, which many of us been waiting 10 years for, will never see the light of day.

hey I've been waiting for Commander Keen 7 for like 15 years.
