If GTA IV is delayed again just for a holiday 2008 release, I'll cut myself with a banana.

There official statement for Army of Two was the ever descriptive "we just wanted to add more polish to it" AKA: There is no real reason to delay it other than the fact that our game would be competing with Halo, Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Call of Duty 4, and Rock Band on Christmas shelves"

But no company in the world would delay the game just so it came out then... their fiscal year for this year is already going to be much lower then they'd expected because of the delay. They wouldn't want to put it off until the 3rd/4th quarter just for tradition. Every day that game isn't out is them not turning a profit. I didn't say it was going to happen, but game companies have been doing it for years. Army of Two? Remember them? It was delayed, and not even for program issues, it's because of the Holiday rush, it would be totally looked over. But it's a different situation with GTA. However, it's not above companies to delay a game to both manufacture demand, or in Rockstars case, more demand, and to nitpick the games programming. Holiday rush is one thing and meeting demand as well... I thought you were saying you expected them to delay it until October just so they can release it in October. |

Essentially, now that they don't have to worry about getting it out for Christmas, they are going to take their sweet time with it. One or two more delays is probably more than likely, pushing back to October of '08 doesn't seem so crazy. Honestly, GTA should come out in summer. It's a time where we are starved for entertainment. One of the bigger games of the summer this year was the Darkness. It's a good game, but it did better because it came out when there were no  ing video games out. There is always a summer drought, and it would be nice to see a giant franchise like a GTA hit down down in July. |

i hopeits gameplay and styleisnt like the getaway and other realistic takes on the gta style. Same here, but I reckon that it will be much more realistic. Realism = Death of GTA. yah i hope this realism shyt doesnt kill the GTA we all love and know. |

I'm dying for a GTA with a gas feature. Imagine jacking a car and not knowing how much fuel you had, or running from the police and your tank is empty.
I can only dream.

I don't see why people are saying realism will ruin GTA. It will just make it even better.

Because they are in the action adventure gaming business. When you have a franchise, and you stray away from the semi-comedic violence that don't apply to the real world and start making it a crime world sim, you alienate you initial fan base. It's what happened to Mario. They tried to add a crazy concept and in general, reception was low. The Mario die hards accept it better, but in general, it was a failure. People want to pick up a game and just play it and run from the cops and not have to worry filling up. GTA isn't about reality, it's about movie like action adventure.

Well, I'm a big GTA fan, and I love that they are making it more realistic. I really like noname's idea, about gas. I mean, how awesome would it be for your car to run out of gas, or hell, even the cop cars? It just adds a whole new level of depth, and I for one, absolutely cannot wait to play it. GTA IV and Saints Row 2 in the same year is gonna be so awesome.

I'm usually against adding more realism to games actually. GTA...I feel different about it. I'm really burned out on the series so this new direction is something I'm 100% in favor for. I want GTA but I want it to be in a new direction. I've always dreamed of a game like Mario Galaxy, and on the opposite side of the spectrum I've always dreamed of a game that takes place in a living, breathing, super realistic world. Other GTA games came close but left much to be desired. If they can make it have better replay value and an overall better game then consider me happy. That said, I don't want to be shot once and die or anything, nor do I want to worry about food like in San Andreas. Buying food for a temporary boost in something is the kind of surrealism I'd like to see, though. Rethinking it, GTA does need its comedic, lighthearted side (Tw@t Cafe proves that still exists) and a certain level of the "you can't do that in real life" approach. I guess I want a balance but with a more realistic edge? I dunno, let's just hope it expands the series in the right direction.

Wait wait wait..what the hell was wrong with mario? The new game was great, the RPG'S are great, Sunshine was lame, but everything has been very fun with mario. The added realism to this new GTA isn't bad at all either. Stop being picky and enjoy it. You can still pick up and play or do missions the way you want to. Everything sounds like a good update so far. |

Yeah, you made my point, Sunshine was considered, by the majority, as lame. They tried something new, tooking it in a new direction and it was a massive failure and will go down as the worst in the standard Super Mario franchise history. Then they went back to their standard formula, but with only a slight twist, as in compared to the massive gameplay mechanic overhaul they forced on you in Sunshine, and it's a roaring success. And I'm not against realism in GTA, I'm just saying people want to take it too far. Having to gas up and crap like that don't a good action game make. Many of the GTA die hards would enjoy it, just like Sunshine. I'm all for added realism, but I think you can take it too far. All I want is a clean HUD. Nothing on it but a "GPS" map you can bring up whenever you need it.

I guess the internet will explode again on the 6th, just like for the last trailer.
