MCV understands that Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV will not be released in March as expected – and will in fact be held back until the last week in April.
Sources close to the game's publisher have told MCV that the title's UK release will miss the Easter period entirely, and will instead go on sale in the final week of Rockstar parent Take 2's second financial quarter.
That would be in keeping with the company's latest financial statement, which revealed the title would be released in its Q2 period – which runs from February to the end of April.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not really
Overrated
Boring
Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety
Lacked the GTA fun charm overall
Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor
Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.
Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.
I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV
It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
It seems so far away! I'd rather wait than to have a half finished game and then wait for patches to fix it though. Take your time and make a game that we can all enjoy!
oh please rockstar, don't do this to us in europe!!
release one month later.. hell no..
they must do what they can to release it simultaneously!!! anything else would be a pure torture!! every damn day!
please rockstar.. don't do this to us.
I just got my PS3 dual shock 3 in the mail a few days ago and I am happy to report it works for PS2 games and Uncharted, which everyone knows by now. But was I going to wait 3 to 6 more months for it? Hell no! Just import the game from the U.S. you'll get it before it comes out over there and I think it will be cheaper since Euros are worth more than dollars right now.
This could be a huge blow for Sony.
If the US release for GTAIV for PS3 and Xbox360 is in March, then Xbox360 Euro release will probably be there as well.
This could mean a lot of the Euro PS2 users who are waiting for this title will buy a 360 because they simply cant wait.
I'm getting tired of this. All the latest PS3 sales figures show that Europe is selling more games than the US. One would assume this would mean more focus on Europe. Sadly it doesn't seem that way.
ahaha independence day here on my country lol. nice date.
