[kewlkat007]

Another franchise has just gone down the Tube.....

Enjoy this one(GTA4) folks..

[v1c1ous]

you are the embodiment of everything that is bad this gen.

someone so devoted to a company you wish ill luck on game companies for bringing series to other consoles so more people can enjoy them.

[LightningPS3]

It was lost when Rockstar decided to take it Multi.

Pretty soon it will be just like Madden, coming out every year and on every console on the market. And I'll just laugh my ass off.

They wanted to expand their userbase, so they got their wish.

[v1c1ous]

cause this whole gen is "MULTICONSOLE"

enjoy

[Cysquatch]

Take Two's Board rejected the original offer. EA is going hostile and is tendering the offer to the shareholders. The annual shareholder's meeting is the 18th which so happens to be the deadline of this offer. The stock is $25/share right now. The $26/share offer is ridiculous and let's hope the shareholders think the same thing.

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

Im with you.
Fcuk EA. Im not even goin to say anything anymore...you guys know the rest.

[SynGamer]

Rockstar going multi-platform with GTA4 was a good thing financially. So far it seems both games are nearly the same which means it should pay off for fans as well. While i hate EA's yearly releases, it's hard to argue with their current structure in terms of efficiency.

[FordGTGuy]

You do know that GTA: San Andreas and GTA Vice City were on Xbox right?

[Fallen_Angel]

Got to love stupid fanboys like lighting there. Ranting about them making gta4 multi when it has always been a multi game.

GTA released for DOS, Microsoft Windows and PlayStation

GTA 2 released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation and Dreamcast

GTA 3 released for PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows

GTA VC released for PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows

GTA SA released for PlayStation 2, Microsoft Windows and Xbox

GTA has never been an exclusive to any system

[juuken]

Lightning, that was a really dumb thing to say. I may not like M$ but Take Two is still a really good company and going multi-platform was a good thing, whether you liked it or not.

It was actually good for them and I don't want that bratty company EA taking them over.

[Treefingers]

or does anyone else remember Rock* North (or something similar)going PS exclusive after XBOX360 episodic content?

[Lifendz]

or at least a good number of podcasts and from what I've heard from EA's representatives gone are the days when they would be like the borg. They pretty much let the devs do their thing and provide better tools than they otherwise would've had. I don't think they'll change GTA. I do think, however, that they're going to launch their own console.

Just imagine, a console with GTA, Bioshock, Burnout, Madden, KOTR, Mass Effect, and etc all exclusive. Tell me you wouldn't at least consider it.

[MattFoley]

You are correct Lifendz.Bubbles

[Exhaust]

Congratulations your comment wins the grand price for blind corporate loyalty.

#1 - Sony has admitted to not pursuing GTA timed exclusivity or any other kind of exclusivity with Rockstar this generation. They're focusing on first party development this generation rather than securing third party exclusivity.
#2 - If the game isn't developed by a first party developer its going multiplatform this generation simply due to higher production costs.
#3 - As Fallen Angel pointed out GTA has always been multiplatform.

Grow up.

[JsonHenry]

EA has been kind to my favorite franchise - Command and Conquer. So I have faith they will do the game justice.

[Shadow Flare]

I would hate it if EA released their own console. However i agree with you about them being 'less like the borg'. All i have to do is look at the Burnout series and I can see how the EA aquisition of it has benefited the series. They still let Criterion do whatever they want but you can tell they gave them advice from their Need for Speed experience about openworld cities for Burnout Paradise. And the EA music is good too. I mean, Rockstar doesn't need any help in making games, i think EA know that. But i just hope they don't make their own console.

[SuperTanker]

The reason that Take Two's stock is ~ $25/share is because EA made the $26/share offer to them back in February. This is why the stock is valued near $26 dollars right now because with EA making the offer, that's about what it's worth. If this offer weren't here, their stock would be no where near $26. Before EA's offer, it was only around $16/share.

[Cysquatch]

I still think the 26/share offer is way too low. EA is trying to get in before GTAIV. Plain and simple. GTAIV is going to DOUBLE Halo 3 in the first week of sales. Period. 2 billion is a steal for the publishing rights of the most successful franchises of all time. Not to mention all the other titles under the T2 umbrella:
(Sid Meier's Civilization®, Max Payne, Midnight Club, Manhunt, Red Dead Revolver, BioShock, Sid Meier's Railroads!®, Sid Meier's Pirates!™, and Top Spin. Licensed brands include the sports games Major League Baseball® 2K, NBA® 2K, NHL® 2K, and College Hoops 2K.)

[Buubar]

This could be old though? It was Filed on March 13, 2008.

We'll have to see, its bound to happen anyway.

[TheExecutive]

i dont really see how Take Two can deny this offer. They owe it to their shareholders.

[Jazzzz]

But what about the game-players?

360 owners

ps3 owners

Hardcore fans?

People who have played maybe 3 or 4 games at a friends house who (since 01) automatically hear the gta name and know for a fact that something at least moderately enjoyable is there...

shareholders are responsible for the money perhaps....

in a better world maybe.

[-EvoAnubis-]

No shareholder with a brain would sell in this situation. A smart investor looks at the market, and sees that EA is in a mad scramble to get this deal done before 4/29. Two reasons being they want that GTA4 money, and also they know the sales from this game will make TT a lot of money and raise the stockprice due to the new income stream, which would make a hostile takeover too costly at that point.

Besides, no real investor sells when the price is still going up. A minor jump is enough to get the investors who know nothing to sell, but a seasoned investor will hold.

Edit: See? http://n4g.com/industrynews... That just proves my point. EA knows exactly what they're trying to do, and a smart investor would know it too.

[RJ2000]

How do they owe it to their share holders? Their shares are going to go to sh*t. Those that know anything will sell after this. That is the only favor they have done them.

[IntelligentAj]

This is a tendered offer which hasn't accepted yet.

[Smudge2626]

That's what I came to say. I know there was a whole fuss about EA trying to buy them a while back, this could just be the document from that offer. No mention of Take Two accepting.

[meepmoopmeep]

looks like GTA4 will be the last real GTA game.

EDIT: so the deal is for the 18th of April unless extended.
guess we'll find out in a couple days

[Hagaf22]

hopefully if the shareholders do decide to be overly dumb and accept this, rock* and take-two get the income that gta4 brings in. im not sure how all that works but it would suck to put so much in to a game then have ea come in and get all the money.

[Jazzzz]

When did old men making money have anything to do with a freshly cherry popped gold-mine?!?!

Oh wait..

hopefully somebody is making a well crafted joke...

otherwize... "smoke em if you got em" comes to mind.

[OoOLeafsOoO]

Well...looks like this is going to be the last good GTA game...shame...it really was one of the greatest franchises ever...

[Clinton514]

Because some of the reactions here are as if the purchase has already taken place. Haha.

[ICUP]

NO, this is N4G.

[IntelligentAj]

I don't think so because 6-7 lines it says "Tendered Offer" and I'm sure everyone knows what a tendered offer is.

[MikeGdaGod]

i was going to say the same thing. thank you

[Mystery_Person]

I know. I didn't read the full thing but it says EA has OFFERED. OFFERED. Doesn't mean they'll go for it. Why can't EA just go die in a hole

[Ri0tSquad]

I just believe it's going to happen.

[Ri0tSquad]

There goes GTA!

[ICUP]

Come on SONY buy T2 already, it a perfect match.

[supremacy]

lol i wish, but i rather them buy sega instead, please don't ask me why, but personally sega or sega sammy as its call now,just has too many properties that cover enough different fields,including hardware that sony could make use of to fill the ps store with retro or even create its own VC as well, you know sega master, genesis, saturn, dreamcast what? plus than you simply add psone, pstwo to that and there you go. compatible and playable with both psp and ps3 systems.

now as far as games go, man look sega is fill with them, virtua fighter, virtua cops, sega daytona,zombie revenge, toe jam n earl, shinobi, streets of rage, ultra beast, otagi, jet set radio, space channel 5, shenmue, golden axe, skies of Arcadia, phantasy star online, sonic, panzer dragoon, monkey ball, house of the dead, sega gt, out run, nights, virtua tennis and many more that are scat erred around i mean think about this sony would than have something to answer pretty much anything else on the market. shinobi could say.. go against ninja gaiden?

virtua fighters and what this acquisition could do for... say for sony and namco think virtua fighters vs tekken a fighting versus, now that would blow sucks off, than you'll add sega's rpgs with sony's and bamm the console war is pretty much over. and if you want add sammy's few in there and their arcade and casino machines resources as another venue for money.

now that would be a much better acquisition if you ask me, of course thats just my personal opinion.

but to me i guess either would be good in either case.

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

I think it would be smarter if they buy TAKE 2 instead..
Take 2 Has GTA and Some Sport Games(one of the main reasons why EA Wants Take2,besides GTA).

Hpoefully Take 2 denies the offer...
If they take the deal...GTA5 might not be an exclusive...

[ICUP]

:o "wall of texts"

l love GTA series a lot and hold it very close to me and not wanting it ruining by EA, that why l pick Sony is because they have a track record of having a lot of paition with their developers and not rushing them. :)

[supremacy]

man i now i think i want to get my money back, wow i never felt so sick to my stomach until now, excuse me guys i have to go take a number 2, lol just kidding, man... but seriously now i don't feel like buying this game anymore, i feel like ill be doing EA a favor by doing so.

that is if this deal goes down...please don't sell out, have faith in your product as of now everyone is on your side even analyst as well.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

It's going to suck to see that ugly f****** EA logo on GTAIV now....

EDIT: Upon further reading, I saw that this is just the old offer made by EA to acquire Take Two, it still hasn't expired though, it says the 18th of April or if the offer is further extended.

So I'm still in a dilemma.....

[Hydrolex]

GTA was the godfather, now it's death.

another godfather is taking the place and it's called

Saints Row.

GTA funeral on April 29 2008

Sam Houser goes back to home with 2 bill lol

[KBDuB]

Have you played the first Saints Row? I enjoyed it, so if GTA is done, at least Saints Row is there to fill the void.... for now.

[Archaeox]

@1.1

I agree, saints row is pretty fun, especialy throwing grenades inside cars, getting inside the cargo space in those big trucks, and blowing up oil trucks

GTA IV better have explosions, sounds, and cars to get inside like cargo trucks

[poos3]

ILL CLARIFY SOMETHING TO FANBOYS OK THERE WIL LNO LONGER BE ANY PS3 EXCLSUIVE after this take over belive in me there will be no rockstar exclusive to the ps3 of in fact it was true and not fanboys dreams liek most stories on here

[Mr PS3]

Let me clarify something for you

First learn to spell retard

Second -bubble buttnuggett

Third No PS3 Exclusive's after this takeover ? Ok keep dreaming c0ckring wearer

[You bought an Xbox]

You Bought an Xbox

Ha Ha

[Z F1GHT3RS]

who let the KNOB GOBBLERS OUT(aka poos3 drones/infected)

[champ420]

Do some research dude R* is at the end with their contract with take 2. So while EA might acquire the GTA name and Take2, R* will be free to develop for whoever they wish. Xbox fans just better hope Sony doesn't offer to take R* under their wing because then they can say good bye to the goodness that is R*.......

[KidMakeshift]

It's nice to see the game industry go the same way as television/film, and by that I mean straight down the drain.

Once in awhile you'll get a nice gem, but for the most part you're just digging through crap

[Breakfast]

lol.

Which do you think has more sequels...the movie industry or the video game industry?

[KidMakeshift]

The only stand alone titles that exist are "failed" titles. Anything that's successful nowadays has to be milked out and turned into a franchise.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but companies like EA aren't going to take risks on niche titles like "Okami" anymore, which is extremely disappointing.

I still have faith in Japan Studio and Team Ico. I'd love to see Studio Ghibli or Miyazaki get involved in the game industry

[RecSpec]

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

(have to put a sarcasm tag here, seeing how people think the deal is done, lol)

[MikeGdaGod]

guys it say "tendered". it has not happened yet.

relax

[PROGnosis]

yeah, its not the end of the world...yet

[kingOVsticks]

chilax lets not get are panties in a bunch just yet, nothing went down sobcool but worst case scenario if it does happen T_T

Stan:OMG! They killed the gta series

Kyle:You

Gamers worldwide:BASTARDS!!!!!!!

basically.

[Bathyj]

Why would they sell before GTA comes out?

That wold be so stupid. Obviously EA is desperate to do just that because their share price will go way up after.

Typical Ea, they cant make a game that everyone loves so they'll just buy the people who can, whether they like it or not.

"Soon all your games are belong to us !"

[GutZ31]

each share is worth "$42.50 per Unit" from Take Two.
So, EA is offering to pay half of what its worth?

[bluegoblin]

We are so focked!!!=,(
^
u

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

Focked!! LOL
They should let us curse on the OPENZone..because it is the openzone, isn't??

[The Goulet]

Guys this is actually old. EA will NOT buy take-two before GTA4 release.

Goulet

[Ovidius]

Perhaps the talented programmers(assuming EA buys T2) will leave the company, and form their own. Like IW? Maybe it could be a blessing in disguise. I don't want EA to get the money from GTAIV though. They're ruining the gaming industry single handedly. WHY DID THEY BUY MAXIS?! WHY?!?!?!!

[rucky]

GTA we will miss you... you brought us gamers so many good times and memories. You will always be remembered as one of the greatest franchises ever

[Rob4Vendetta]

EA is ruining everuthing lately...they're pissing everybody off

[Eromu]

Ok I'm not gonna read all that legal jargon, but this is just an offer right? I skimmed through it but saw no where where it said anyone besides EA agreed to it and signed it.

[KBDuB]

If it's true that the members of R* left, hopefully they will create their own studio and start making the games again. Hope. All we can do is hope...

Now, please, bow your heads and let us remember GTA in a moment of silence..

[Room 641-A 8 5neDDaM]

upset about. Hell, EA has worked magic with the Madden series; just imagine how much greater they'll make Grand Theft. EA is the future of game development.

[Doctor Strange]

If Take-Two accepts the offer I'm sure it hit the net in a big way with EA celebrating telling the whole world.

I think its going to happen. it just a matter of time unless Take-Two settles with somebody else.

[Bathyj]

Stupid DP

[muddygamesite]

I really hope this doesnt happen. I mean. I knew EA was bad, but i never took notice of thier stupidity until now...I hope Take Two can resist this. If they dont, alot of people will be put off gaming forever. The last EA game i owned was FIFA international Soccer. Years Ago. Before i started growing proper Armpit hairs. Ever since then i have ever paid for an EA game.

[Archaeox]

R*'s deal with T2 ends in a year or so

We arn't getting a GTA V in a year or so

I'm not worried

[Stretchystrong]

It's as simple as not purchasing EA made games.

[ghost04]

I like the display picture they use for this post, it's almost like the big bad bully EA putting an end to Take Two can you see it?...who cares if the deal happens before or after the GTA4, it'll still be a distaster no matter what...there goes the whole 2K sport series, cause you know EA doesn't like competition, just like they bought the NFL rights...what about Rockstars L.A. Noire side project thats suppose to be PS3 exclusive, you can bet that if EA gets their hands on it it's going to be a multi platform, no matter how many dics they need....someone mentioned it'll just be like madden coming out every year....im sure they'll just change niko's name, and maybe add a new weapon...

[kevin1122]

most likely sony paid for exclusive rights for the games that rockstar are making for them. They will most likely be exclusive.

[FourtyPoundSteak]

well the worst thing about the whole ordeal is that GTA IV would get pushed back... AGAIN.

And we all don't want that to happen...

[SiLeNt KNighT]

i read about this about a month ago. shareholders are not going to take $26, only $1 more per share, right before the GTAIV release. the stock market relies upon predictions and anybody that 'predicts' GTAIV will do bad in terms of sales doesnt deserve to own take 2 stock. On Apr. 29 and the whole month of May we will see TAKE 2's stock skyrocket. you would have to be a moron to sell it for $1 more than what its worth now when its going to jump by around $5 per share in a months time.

[JasonX43]

I suggest all gamers boycot EA! They're screwing up gaming as we know it and this is the last straw!

[IzKyD1331]

okay guys, get ready for a new GTA game every 7 months or so.....also, expect lower production values

[Razzy]

NOOOOO!! If this is true one of my most beloved series is done for. SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

[Ziggi]

Looks like one of my most anticipated games in Mafia II is going to be rushed out, and made for every single console out there. Gta might not be that work of art it is if Ea take over more like a half-assed game which will come out every year.

[jeywig]

http://www.ipetitions.com/p...

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

MS and EA should just merg, they are more pro Xbox anyway and since PS3 owners cry about so much, might as well make EA's games exclusive.

[spacetoilet]

..just get double teamed by MS and EA. It's obviously his ultimate fantasy.
Two multinational corps in the gaming business that put pump out low quality crap ( i.e 360, and Madden games). WOW! What a wonderful world!

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Your comment sounds more like fear to me.

[IzKyD1331]

that would make you happy wouldnt it?
xbot....

[StateofMind]

Somebody please burn EA to the ground. I would like to continue playing good games. I wish EA and Ubisoft would merge. Then they could be one, giant super-company that specializes in marketing and bad development.

[riksweeney]

Am I the only person excited about DJ Atomica featuring in another game?

[spacetoilet]

Nicely done!
DJ Atomica! ROFL!

What a pile of 'Ryan Seacrest style', over annunciated smug, inane sh1te that was lol......DJ Atomica.

Bravo sir!!

[PumPum]

I wouldent be surprised if MS was behind this somehow.

I read somewhere that GTA would be ps3 exclusive again after GTAIV but not theres not a chance that will ever happen.....

Well every1 enjoy this one! I know i will.

[TheJBag]

another franchise ruined.

[Gaara_724]

this aint about fanboy/girl or sh1t this is the death of one of the 3 great games 1, final fantasy 2, gta , resident evil now what wil take gta's place??

[Gaara_724]

if this is all true EA only make multi and the 360 fanboys have been saying looks like rockstar aint makin ps3 exclusives anny more if thats the case it also applyes to the 360 downloadable content just means EA screewd microsoft over bye takin controle of the companie and microsoft paid take two for the content EA boght take 2 AND EVERY THING IT OWNED so the rights are no longer in microsofts hands its up 2 EA what to do so whos going to have the best version of gta4 now??

[mightydog01]

EA have bought bio-ware,pendemic and a few others and now T2. Ea just want to make games with no compitition, Signs looking gloomy for gamers........PS not good for us

[Z F1GHT3RS]

i wont be suprised if EA bring out their own games console. they have got the games for it.

[Z F1GHT3RS]

here we go mandatory disagrees from the knob gobblers

[KBDuB]

No, it won't affect the DLC, at least I don't believe so, because there was already a deal in place with MS, but what some of them are saying about the PS3 exclusives is that if EA takes over Take-Two then the games that were going to be previously made exclusive for the PS3 will no longer be exclusive.. But, I'm not sure about that either since they were already planned to be PS3 exclusive and I don't think EA can change that..?

[Gaara_724]

this is not related to this artical but i have always wonderd dont u think a combo of GTA and resident evil would go ace together?? huge citys filled with millions of zombies its just u and youre gang fighting vs them that would be ace lol

[DemiseofPandas]

You might be interested in an upcoming game called Left 4 dead.

[boodybandit]

I don't know if this has been discussed because I rarely read responses under articles for obvious reasons. I think this has more to do with EA launching their own console with in the next couple years then anything else. If EA does launch a console (as much as I am not a fan of EA) I don't see how Sony, MS or Nintendo would be able to compete since EA owns most of the big market franchises.

And here I thought / feared, although I am a fan of the 360, when MS entered the video gaming industry they were the ones that were going to try to monopolize and buy their way to the top. I never saw this coming from EA but now it appears they are the ones that are trying to monopolize the gaming industry by purchase most of the competition. I sure hope they don't launch a console because they will have gamers by the throat.

[earules]

as a reader on N4G for a long time i have never posted on the fourm but IMHO i think that this is great that EA is trying to take over R*,
They will no doubt make there own console(which i hope they do im sick of the MS vs PS3 stupidty) then i can get all my fav games on the same console and not have to spend buy more then one console.

Mind you all the fanboys will have nothing to argue about

then NG4 could get back to game new's instead of flame baiting articles

For those who are going to bash me ....... for stating my opinion

well F**k U

have good day :)

[Ziggi]

Didn't your wet dream EA say that the PS3 will dominate from 2008 or in 2008 not sure which way round, sorry to break your heart like this but i thought you should know.

[perils]

"EA stealin cars! Its in the game!"

[PSWe60]

A moment of silence for the GTA franchise...

[abc123tyler]

Lightning you are a complete moron.... GTA was actually on PC first so we should argue it should have stayed on PC then?.... go die in a fire.

[JasonBloodbourne]

found this on wikipedia hopefully viacom will step in!

It was revealed in February 2008 that Electronic Arts had made a takeover bid for rival game company Take Two. After its initial offer of $25 per share, all cash stock transaction offer was rejected by the Take Two board, EA revised it to $26 per share, a 64% premium over the previous day's closing price and made the offer known to the public.[12] Rumours had been floating around the internet prior to the offer about Take Two possibly being bought over by a bigger company, albeit with Viacom as the potential bidder.[13][14

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[FourZeroSeven]

A new Driver would be good. Lets go back to the old days ;D

[SuperSaiyan4]

I hope that you all boycott GTA 5...I know I will I don't want any EA games anymore in my house!

[micbelt]

EA just up the offer to $44 a share?

[Pika-pie]

100% Acquisition.. ouch, is this lidgit? Dont do it Take 2, we love you just the way you are!!

[captainjy]

Finally, something that brings the 360 and PS3 crowds together! 'F' EA!

[Frangieh]

No GTA for me....if EA has anything to do with it.

[Chris_GTR1]

so does this mean its official? t2 games now sucks?

[Spazz]

I don't see why there are so many EA haters out here. They do have a lot of quality games and are better equiped to make better games than most companies.

The thing I find to be funny is I have played some Take 2 games in the past that could have used help from the likes of EA to make them better. It would be one thing if Take 2 really made superior games but they don't. Besides I really don't see EA ruining GTA. If anything they would find ways to improve it. So what if they put time lines on completion. Every job does. They make a more complete game in half the time than some of these slacker companies do.

If Take 2 really cares about their company then maybe their CEO and Board members should by more of the stocks from the people they think may sell.

Heck if EA bought them out and release GTA every year that would be a good thing for me. Thats means I could get discounted GTA games every year. I would buy the 08 in 09 for the discounted prices the same way EA does for their sports games. I bought the 5 pack (Madden, Nascar, Tiger Woods, NHL, and NBA Live 07) for $20.00 when all the 08's came out. So tell me again, how is this bad?

I could care less who owns the GTA franchise, as long as it's a quality game I'll still buy it. Besides the only ones that should be complaining are the ones that have stock invested.

And another thing, I hope EA does make a console system to compete with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. They already have enough rights to so many games that they wouldn't have to depend on 3rd parties for games. Maybe then Microsoft and the rest of them would get off their asses and create more of their own games giving the gamers more selections and better quality games. It would also drive the prices of consoles down a little due to more competition. OMG that would be bad...Right.

Well I expressed my opinions now all you fanboys can flame me now. =P

[DarKnight1]

Wow that generous lol. Im not really a gta person although this new one looks cool so i dont really care, but, i dont care for EA anymore.
1) EA nows how to take a good thing and flip it around and make it a bad thing. take NFS franchise, seriously could the new games be anymore of a clone of NFSU2.
2) They are responsible for the demise of MoH series loved MoH allied assult but i got there latest MoH airborne and thought sweet jump out of an airplane and shoot nazis what more could i need wrong the control scheme sucks (have xbox360 version) the AI dont feel impressive and what the heck is an upgradable gun in WWII.
3) the good side of EA is there Battlefield series but we shall see with the upcoming badcompany then we will truely now for certain that EA is in it to soak up money and not to win it or us the gamer.
4) While crysis is under EA i give them no credit whatsoever for that beauty.

So even though i dont care for gta this could be bad down the road when they next few feel the exact same and your like man deja vu. EA needs to take there time and come up with something spectacular not mediocre. like maybe let the NFS and MoH series rest for a few years.

[Spazz]

There is nothing wrong with Need for Speed Prostreet. I love it and it's a very addicting game. Great EA game. Keep up the good work!

[DarKnight1]

Dont get me wrong they are fun but they just seem to push out the same old thing. They need a new vision for NFS like give us a true MMOracing game like testdrive unlimited tried only do it for real.

[gamesR4fun]

Wont be long b4 their the only show in town
sucks large

Still Rockstar guys could break away and still make quality games...

[Solid_Snake666]

u can fuking keep saints row ps3 dont need that garbage if u forgot GTA originated in Playstation....so have fun paying for extra content while i play HOME with free integrated GTA 4 content.....

[KBDuB]

Moron much? Yes, I do believe so.. So, if EA takes over Take-Two, then say bye-bye to GTA since the next version won't be at quality level.. So, if "xbots" keep Saints Row, what game you gonna play??

[mirroredderorrim]

A good scenario, but not likely, would be; Sony steps in and Offers 1.5x more on top of the original offer.
Release stays multi, GTA kept away from EA's clutches, everyone's happy.

[HerBieScrogg]

Leave Take Two the HELL alone!!!!!!!!!!.....If its Not dealing with Sports or Cars EA please leave everything else the HELL ALONE!!!!!!
