Without warning, this afternoon Take-Two Interactive stunned the game industry by announcing it was delaying Grand Theft Auto IV to the second quarter of its 2008 fiscal year, which begins on February 1, 2008. Published by Take-Two subsidiary Rockstar Games, the crime-action title had been slated to ship for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in North America on October 16, 2007

I think this will punish both the PS3 and 360 in the most important sales season against the Wii.

GTA IV was the game I was most psyched for on the 360 this year, pretty bummed

I think it’s hilarious!  I’m not a fan of the series or Rockstar in general, so this made my day.

and now Boys and Girls we see why you DON’T announce a release date 18 months in advance.

Oh, I shall have to console myself with the Orange Box, Halo 3, Mass Effect, BiA: Hell’s Highway, CoD4… what is this GTAIV you speak of?

Seriously, when the lineup is so stacked with games I want already, as much as I heart GTAIV, it’s no big thing.  I’ll just go enjoy it next summer.

Ha, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!

Who gives a ratts ass?!!

GTA4 what?!

08?!

Oh! Bummer! at least we have ###### games coming out this year to keep us pissed off!! Isn’t it great?! I love games that make me mad and crazed like a serial killer!

Honestly its much better for GTA4 to come out at a later date. Like Heartbreak said We have plenty of games to console our selves. The extra time will give Take-Two time to fine tune the game, and avoid the on-slot of great games coming out around the holidays. Besides whats coming out in 08 any ways?

(Here is where I get hammered with tuns of answers about this game, and that game will arrive in 08.)

LOL!!!

This will be a good year for games, so I’m not worried about it. I’ll be dolling out plenty of cash for some fun this fall.

Okay, I try my best not to be a typo-bitch… but one that is f**king precious.

On-slot…. aahahahahahaaaa ...

dude, not laughing at you. Seriously. You’ve just been elevated to my favorite typo of all time, edging out the former winner: “It’s a doggy dog world out there.”

I’m gonna be offline for about three days.
gonna take a trip to scotand and renact scene from manhunt on the rockstar staff.

This goes to prove my theory… Games don’t make you violent but lack of them do.

This could actually be a good thing for gamers. The fall brings an on-slot (tee hee) of games while the
Winter is often a barren wasteland. Now I have something to look forward to in February.

Very true at least with this delay I may be able to afford some food in october.
I have two dependants to pay for .... a ps3 and a 360.

when they stall a game just think of it as them making it better
