Vercetti21 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 EA can do anything they want with T2 if bought, but as of this point, that transaction is very unlikely.

Coranub Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 already been reviewed by some magazines, 1 week before it ships to the stores, and if Ea buys take two, there is alot of paper work and stuff that needs to go through, i seriously doubt they have time to hault the game.

ewilliam Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Why, pray tell, would they buy t2 and then stop the release of the biggest game of the decade just when you have millions of fans salivating over it and counting down the seconds? The funny thing about companies is that they like to make money. Postponing the release will mean they lose money. I mean, you can't get the hype much higher than it is right now...and whoever owns t2, be it you, me or the pope, should and will ride that hype wave all the way to the bank.

Coranub Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 if Ea delayd gta4 it would damage their rep beyond repair, 1 week before release: "Lets delay it, fill it with Ea adds, tone down all the violence, ruin the gta feeling, make it family friendly and release it at x-mas."

AllHailPopTarts Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 delay would only increase hype, and the christmas season gets more buyers that is what equals more money It seems you lack fundamental understanding of the basic principles of business.

Go figure. I don't expect them to go that far (altering the game etc.), but I do believe there is a very high chance they WILL push the release back. The game is obviously already being manufactured and readied for release. If EA take over during this process then they will not want the game releasing with T2 logo's on/in it. They will surely have to stall everything and start the manufacturing process all over again....

gagebastian Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 EA would be able to if the contract allowed them to take control of projects in process, but there isn't a chance in hell they would if they took over because there is no need to. The only reason they would delay it is to advertise it more, and publicity is at its peak right now.

S1L3NT SH0T 419 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I don't think they can because GTA IV is in Mass Production right now. Take Two said they won't begin talks with EA until GTA IV is released. I think we're safe.
