    delay caused by ps3?

    still, it's about time

    It's really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to [the delay]
    Yep not surprised, considering it's a brand new console with brand new architecture. It always takes time to learn the new ways of getting the most out of a machine (it's well known the ps3 is more trickier to develope for than the 360), and the ps3 has still got years to go before it will fill it's potential.
    Still it will get easier to develope for once they know the tricks. I think the delay was a good thing, gives them time to polish the game off as a whole.

    Not surprising really that they have delayed it for the PS3, Take Two/Rockstar want to keep Sony sweet seeing as the their next big franchise of games is exclusive to the PS3

    Re: Grand Theft Auto 4 Release Date !!!

    gtech has been quite fair there actually i would say. although the 360 was also a new architecture and there wasnt a huge void in when dev kits for the two were available like there was for retail consoles.

    Re: Grand Theft Auto 4 Release Date !!!

    i always thought it was delayed because of the 360 not be able to store all the high res textures in one dvd

    Oh my god, I agree with gtech again!

    I think its only fair to delay the game if one format needs polishing. It means that they can also spend more time on the 360 version and we all end up with a decent game. Not that I have ever really liked GTA beyond the first one.
    Not around too often!
