GTA 4: Delayed Til Spring 2008


Oh look, we have another highly anticipated game delayed.

This time it's Grand Theft Auto IV being pushed back, this according to 'Take-Two' who created the game. GTA 4 was scheduled for release this October, but now has been moved back to second quarter of 2008.

Yeah that's right, spring of 2008

Chairman Strauss Zelnick of Take-Two said "certain elements of development proved to be more time-intensive than expected."

That sucks. Read the rest of the article here [Reuters via G4TV]

I say, Blizzard (not the company involved here) has it right; Don't release the game unless it's nearly perfect, less than a .0001 compatibility problem, one bug a year.

Oh yeah, and every game becomes game of the year and sell more than anyone else. Why?

They push back dates rather than sell broken shit.

I wish that were the case for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Sony (publisher) forced them to release the game waaaay too early, and the fan base that was eagerly awaiting a new, fresh game was bitterly disappointed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sony also released Star Wars Galaxies; I heard so many horror stories about that game.

They even admitted they were wrong, and apologized and tried to re release it. It still sucked, and was broken.
