Gtaiv Pushed Back To 2008!

[Kobe 2007]

GTA has been pushed back to the 2nd fiscal quarter of 2008...

LINK

Not suprising as nothing seems to stick to release dates any more, except Halo 3

[Gazzilla]

Dammit... I put down 120 bucks pre-order for it..think ill transfer it to Fifa 2008 when that comes out in a month.. lets hope that doesnt get pushed back too.

I wouldnt take that as gospel as stated it could be a number of reasons why it was delayed. It could be the fact there having problems fitting it all on a 360 dvd as it seems to be an issue in the upcoming Project Gotham Racing 4, or it could be as simple as they just over estimated on the completion date. In no way am I stating thats the reasons im just putting a thought out there as everyone else is.

How come its GTA IV? Shouldnt this be GTA VI?

Cause there was GTA 3 and then GTA Vice City and then San Andreas... confuse ed.

[dnbutts]

i heard theres trouble with in car gameplay...

stereo, bullets flying through windscreen and playing the radio was all too much for the poor GTA4 engine =(

Apparently 360 version will have 2 extra missions or something... Apparently Microsoft paid rockstar 50 million for exclusives that PS3 wont get...

correct!

but wont be released for a long time after launch.

[MrGTST]

Oh well... sad but there is plenty of quality xbox360 titles coming out over the next few months to tide us over... personally I wont shed any tears over it getting pushed back....

Yeah me either, im half glad it did cause there is way too many quality comes on the horizon.

[SKYLVIA]

im not even that hyped for GTA IV... im just waiting on Assassins Creed and Blue Dragon

[MrGTST]

Call of Duty 4

Assassins Creed

Army of Two

Mass Effect

Need for Speed Pro Street

Tiger Woods PGA 08 ( I just became interested in golf )

I think thats the order I am interested in off the top of my heads... there is likely to be others but these ones came straight to mind...

[kralster]

Well rockstar have come out and said that they are having trouble fitting everything on a DVD9 disc. Where as there is no such shortage of space on a blu-ray disc. Also not every 360 having a HDD is making it hard for them as they can't cache as much data as they can on the ps3.

My prediction GTA4 Xbox360 on the box you will see a sticker saying "Requires HDD to play"

Watch this space!!

In other news., i found out the new name for the psp... and it's well yeah.

[smurf80]

I was right! I'm not a sony fan boy by any means but it seems funny how everyone was paying out sony for including blu ray in there new system and I guess its starting to pay off.

p.s klaster where bouts do you work? I was wondering if you knew when the new xbox360s with hdmi and the new chipsets come out? also I finally got sega gt on the dreamcast and I must say it isn't bad. I got an orginal copy as well in mint condition.

[kralster]

Hey good stuff. Sega GT is an awesome game.

I work for a videogame publisher and wholesaler.

The new 360 is interesting. As you probably already know the elite will have a HDMi port. But they have started putting the HDMi port on all premium consoles as well. Consoles with the HDMi port are just starting to trickle into US retailers so it may be a while before you see them in stores here. As most places have plenty of hardware already in stock. The new chipset is rumored to be a little while off still. As it's a huge job shringing the core. It requires like 1600 parts to be changed.

I would say get an elite when they are here (rumoured to be this month) that way you get HDMi and a 120 gig hdd.

[Kobe 2007]

Iv'e never understood why people would buy a 360 without a HDD... (im aware of price)

You can't save games etc... whats the point...

I don't know why they are having trouble because not all people have a HDD, who cares... if you dont have a HDD go and get one, its pretty much a must get in any circumstances...

Atleast Bioshock is out in a few weeks!

Thats the beginning of the game fest for the rest of 07'

[MrGTST]

Its strange... their is alot of hype over bioshock.... but I am not the least bit interested in it????

Perhaps its just that odd screenshot of the diving suit or whatever it is.... perhaps I need to investigate more....
