zainkool Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The article was a good read and I like how the author (Adiraan and Jordan... I think he's one of the admins here) seemed to back his info. It seems possible. The article is about the Release date for GTA IV. If this has been posted before. Then I'm sorry and feel free to close the topic. Link Below http://planetgrandtheftauto.gamespy.com/fu...y.php?id=147077 I'm no pundit, if you've been following the USA election lately you'd have noticed that even they can get things wrong a bit sometimes when it comes to predictions, but I'm going to try my best here. As Jordan said yesterday, the first online previews for GTA IV this year, which will also be the first major previews since its delay announcement back in August, will be going up next week. You might remember almost a month ago that MCV ran an article claiming that they received word from "sources close to the games' publisher" that GTA IV will hit the shelves in the UK on April 25th. I've read up on the publication and MCV is no ordinary publication in the gaming sector. In fact, they appear to be number one in the UK and have many contacts within the industry. I also briefly spoke to Neil from GTA Gaming who's in his 3rd year of studies at a leading Scottish University where he is studying video game production. He said that MCV is, in fact, the most respected games publication in the world. So while that doesn't make the story official, it's worth noting that they are certainly held to high standards. If past GTA release date announcements are any indication, the date for for GTA IV will most likely be Tuesday, April 22nd in North America, provided the UK release is Friday, April 25th. Tuesday of next week is January 22nd which is exactly three months before April 22nd. It is the perfect date for a release date announcement and the already confirmed previews to go up on gaming websites that receive demonstrations this week. With the previews going up exactly three months before the US release date on US websites, you can probably expect previews on British websites to go up exactly three months before the UK release date on Friday, April 25th. I am not saying that this has been confirmed or that we will definitely get a release date announcement next week, but it would be kind of dull to just issue a press release rather than pushing it out with brand new previews and screenshots of the game - something all of us have been longing to see for months... Coincidentally, Jordan settled for April 22nd as a release date back in November himself. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnyboy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Cant you read? Release dates provided by retailers are NOT reliable and are NOTofficial.

adrian949 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 They ought to release it on 4/20. Whats better than playing gta for the first time while your stoned out of your mind? wow, thats not a bad idea. i hadnt thought of that. everything seems more epic when ur faded as f*ck, like everything is more dramatic like movies and such, it totally makes u feel like ur in the game and i actually play video games better stoned (but not retardedly stoned). Im not much of stoner, i only blaze when my friends smoke me out (i would never pay for weed, alcohol yes) but ya i think ll buy a 20 sack just for when gta comes out and that ll last me all day why ll im playing all day, cause thats all i need for the whole day cause my tolerance is ridiculously bad. but ya never thought of that it ll be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 While it is posted by someone as reputable as Jordan, it is still speculation none the less. It is not official. It is more informed than most guesses, but still unofficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
