Take-Two is reducing its fiscal 2007 guidance primarily to reflect the movement of the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008, due to additional development time required to complete the title. The title is now planned for release in the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Certain elements of development proved to be more time-intensive than expected, especially given the commitment for a simultaneous release on two very different platforms. We all recognize that perfecting the game is vital and I can assure everyone it will be worth the wait. We owe it to the game’s millions of fans, to our dedicated development team, and to our shareholders to make sure that Grand Theft Auto IV is a groundbreaking gaming experience that takes maximum advantage of next generation technology.â€
Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games, added, "The new consoles are allowing us to create the Grand Theft Auto game we always dreamed about. Every aspect of the game and its design has been completely transformed. The game is huge and is pushing the hardware platforms to their absolute limits. The top engineers from Sony and Microsoft are working closely with the team in Edinburgh right now, helping us to fully leverage the power of both platforms. As always, our goal is to surpass even the wildest expectations of the game’s fans, and to create the ultimate high definition video game experience."

Edit: Actually, this might not be so bad, since I'll playing Halo 3 from September until the end of time.
NO PUEDE SER!!!
Ah well, more time for Halo.
"Fuck your TPS Report"
Ah', I see this as more Halo 3 time and any other game.

FUCK the smaller titles. I've waited for this game every single day since San Andreas and October was a long enough wait. I want the fucking game in October. This best be a really shitty joke.

"Hey Mega Man, join my side. You'll be mine, FOREVER!"
Didn't a reporter somewhere just say that Take2 is, in his words, "A clusterfuck"?
But yea, things are a bit wacky. Also, it makes me WONDER if there are some back room meetings going on as peopel scramble to MAKE SURE GTA does not get saddled with an AO rating, as you know people are waiting with those flaming arrows ALA Duke Boys for as soon as the game is in a position to be labled. You have to think that maybe this time will be spent in revisting content to make sure it does not push too many envelopes.
really I'll have tons of fun playing Dead Rising again and again until this comes out.
fuck fuck. does this mean I need to buy crackdown?
I'm disillusioned... looks like it's suicide for me again.
I'm very let down, but whatever, the game better deliver hot sauce and oraL SEX!
Hmm..

edit... my story http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=14958
No, seriously, this is great news. There are enough amazing games coming out this fall already, plus GTA is guaranteed to sell approximately eleventy-fuckillion copies whenever it's released so it's not like the sales will be hurt significantly.
Then I realized that Novembermas will still be killing me. Plus, Halo.
Yes, this news actually makes me happy.
Seriously, listen to their E3 presentation again... Ouch.
I think we're going to be ok
In fact, if anything it's a good thing. I mean, it'll carry the holiday momentum instead of having a gaping hole of nothing for the early spring -- in terms of blockbusters that is.
His story for people that dont care about going to other sites to read replies.
On the plus side, its gta
You're being quite modest aren't you?
OK, let's go out on the "fairy tale" limb here.
Thinking about your post... What if this manages to smash apart the entire "holiday crunch" cycle? What if, in an imaginary land, this game could manage to re-arrange how people buy games? All of the sudden, students purchase games in the summer to play during break, etc etc...
It's not likely to happen, but one can imagine.
Exactly. There's already more cool games than I can handle for this holiday.
