They didnt show a date at the end of the trailer, so it must be far away? sad.gif

Exactly. It got delayed again recently and they still won't announce a release date, even in the event of the "final" trailer. They claim it will be out in Q2, so don't expect it any earlier than the end of May, unless they delay it yet again.

I want them to take as long as they want.Look Rockstar,take your time.I don't even care if it comes out in May.What do you want? A early release of a f*cked up glitched game or the best game ever created with care?I want it badly too but I,and im sure rockstar,dont want to hear any complaints about the game. We get enough complaints about the trailer.

I havent read any posts that state anyone would prefer they give us an unfinished game, or even that anyone thinks they ever would. What people are saying is that they hope the game is finished earlier than expected.

imsaying idont want it to be rushed

Well that's obviously bullsh*t.

 

Anyway, if the trailer's so damn good, the game should be about say, 90 % complete by now? I think now all the modeling and sound has been done and now R* is fixing the glitches in the game.

Release Date, IMO, will be released on 25 Dec (The perfect Christmas present)

 

and....

@sabbathfan: I wouldn't want a hyped game to have tons of bugs and glitches right? Would you?

 

EDIT:Wow, Matthias. That was only the first time it was delayed. I don't want a second delay, so does R*, and so do all the forumers here, and it hasn't happened again.

@Matthias King: You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The game has not been re-delayed. I dare you to show evidence. Oh... you can't? That's interesting.

 

Anyway, I'm guessing the game will be out early February due to all the new screens and trailer being thrown at us.

I don't remember the name of the guy who made the announcement, but then a few days later he backpeddled and said there was no new delay. But have you ever heard of spin or damage control? Because that's what he was doing the second time around. I'm sure Rockstore wasn't happy about him letting the public in on their further delays, so they sent him out to spin it.

So what you're saying is...That's how YOU interpreted it. Stop talking about "Delays" when it's just "Well I think this is what happened..." You idiot.

 

People these days, no common sense. Godamn.

Matthias King is talking about the interview with Strauss Zelnick where he stated he will not announce the release date for GTA IV until they are utterly convinced that it is ready for that date. It was taken the wrong way by some Gaming sites that GTA IV was going to slip out of the Q2 area. Although he later stated that it was taken the wrong way by everyone and that GTA IV will still be released between the Q2 area but they are simply not going to release an exact release date (eg. 5th February) until they are positive which date within the Q2 area it will be ready for.

 

So obviously GTA IV is not re-delayed. If anything it will be released earlier.

"I think" is just your thoughts and not official news.

 

As long as we don't have any official info, cut your bullsh*t.

Seeing through his attempt to spin his misstep in announcing the second delay is where your common sense should have come into play. And now I've gone back and found the name of the guy. His name is Strauss Zelnick. He's the one whose statements led to the "rumors" of a second delay, and he's also the one who then attempted to spin that as being nothing to be concerned about. It's called spin.

Q2? I thought it was being released sometime in Q1 bored.gif

 

Unless you mean the different definition of the quarters, which infact means Q2=Q1

The words "Delay" or "Late" never left his lips, so who the f*ck are you to come in here saying "It's been delayed multiple times" ?

 

Even a 5 year old would know "We aren't telling you when it will be released, until we know we can promise it to you" Would mean.

The quarters of a Fiscal Year don't fall that way. They go Oct 1-Dec 31 = Q1, Jan 1-March 31 = Q2, April 1-June 30 = Q3, and July 1-Sept 30 = Q4

I didn't say multiple times. I said twice, as in this recent one is the second. And no, he didn't say the word delay. It's called reading between the lines. Even some 5 year olds can do it.

Rockstore

I'm sorry, "Rockstore"!?

That was intentional, sarcasm.

That's not sarcasm. You're just a f*cking idiot. smile.gif

So when I tell you to leave, and stop pulling information out of your ass, you're going to read between the lines and think i'm saying.

"Wow, you're intelligent. I wish we could all achieve such a higher form of being, such as yourself" ?

 

No? Because some statements are just that. Statements. Not 'slip ups' or "oh wait, I meant to say something else."

The question is will there be anymore previews before the release? I mean I would of thought Kikizo, IGN, Gamespot would of had more information on the game by now it has been a long time since there has been a proper preview on the game at least to my knowledge confused.gif .

Kikizo was ready for two more previews before the game's release in September. Maybe these previews (or atleast one preview) needs to be shown before the game is released to get a general feel for public opinion on their game. That way R* can do whatever it is they do for whatever reasons they have for previewing games.

How the f*ck will it be released may if you just said it got delayed to the second quarter how?How would you know if it got delayed again detective dipsh*t? Q2 is only January through April so how the hell will it be released the end of may? So whatever the release date maybe, it's gonna be real soon, and the release date even sooner, It's all gonna be worth the wait.

Being delayed until Q2 2008 was the first delay, from it's original release date in Oct 2007. May 2008 is just a guess, because it's in Q3 of 2008, which is more likely going to be the release timeframe, as they're going to miss the Q2 release.
