Analysts split on Take-Two guidance

pfft....thats what u get from delaying the most anticipated game of the year(for almost half a year i say)....

Heh, yeah g8summit, if you want to buy a HD-DVD player for the 360 go right ahead but it won't increase game performance. I have to agree with your statement about the Wii, this is why it pays to have the Wii and a 360 (engh I don't want a ps3, sony is worse then EA).

g8summit, the X360 is DVD based so what are you talking about? They have a max of 9GB to work with even on the 360.

It wont go on the wii, and if it does it will be very watered down. They wouldn't even be able to fit such a detailed city on the DVD for wii. It pushes the space of even the HD-DVD. Plus the graphics would be much crappier. They would have to do a lot of extra work to make it compatible for the wii. I doubt they will do it seeing the Wii's fan base isn't such a violence loving one compared to the other systems.

i think they r planning for wii version also

I dont now if i shall buy the PS3 version or the PC version! Hope for a PC version soon! ;-)

they are right;we can count on them;

Are they nuts!?! They really think they are on top of the world, don't they... Man o man they are on something.

well it'll be a great game none the less

Unsure if this GTAIV will be as big as the others, the game just seems so wildly different than what gone before and is becoming less and less unique as more clones come out. That said I'd kill for a PC version of it...

i've only played Gta on consoles so i don't mind what they decide to do with it.

I'm in doubt. Will I get GTA for my Xbox or will I get it for the PC. The PC has the advantage that you can find trainers for it. So when you finished the game and think the fun is over you can reincarnate the fun. Got one for Vice City which is great. By pressing ALT+[numer] cars drop out of the sky and a lot more.

modest. conservative. fine. Lets put some of that extra $ $ $ towards GTA IV and get it out before another year goes by.

To me, that just means 2008 will be just that much better a year for games. I'm honestly a little relieved GTAIV was pushed back, as this is arguably the best holiday season gaming has ever had. Mass Effect, Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, The Orange Box, G.R.A.W., Forza 2, and PGR4 (phew!)are all games I got this August or later, so I'm glad I'm not even able to spend the money on it just yet.

Hail to the King Baby

GTAIV should be released and for PC. Making it exclusive for consoles will effectively have an impact on revenues and/or success of the game. Not to mention that it will affect actual gamers who are avid players but don't own one of the systems. I doubt that Bioshock would be such success if it was released just for consoles, or vice versa - releasing it just for PC wouldn't generate any revenues from the console market pie. Hence, the numbers they are talking in this article would be totally different and there woudl not be *such*(M.Patcher) doubts on a GTAIV success.

uhhhhh......im gonna be buying GTA4 as soon as it gets out....its all i gotta say, if you don't, good. More for the rest of us who really want it!

Bioshock is just so awesome. Not only is it an awesome game, but it's also buying them time to make GTA IV even better. :) *Hugs copy of Bioshock*

I think a great number of people have not realized the number of gamers who are NOT interested in GTA4. 3 was good, Vice City interesting, but that was as far I it held my interest. I owned San Andreas, but could not bring myself to play all the way through. I am far from alone. The lack of sales for the "Stories" pseudo spin off is a testament to the cooling of interest in this series. I am not disparaging the game/series, nor am I saying it will be a flop. I`m just saying that the numbers being thrown around regarding GTA4 are seriously out of touch. 9 million copies is virtually 1 copy for every 3 PS3s and 360s sold (maybe 1 in 4 by the time of launch). That kind of attach rate is unheard of even for Halo or Mario titles. Not that many gamers are interested in being thugs anymore. Take Two better start unleashing more games like Bioshock, like 2 or more a year if they`re expecting those kinds of profit numbers. Sorry, but I think Rockstar has lost its luster.

Quit with the lies already, You were told before that GTAIV isn't out in Chile.

You can't underestimate GTA,I expect no less than they do.GTA IV will,and should,OWN.I mean,comeon,it's a high-graphical next-gen pimpin' sandbox.

Who really cares what Pachter thinks? He is a windbag who throws out wild predictions that are more often wrong than correct and to top that all off, he doesn't even play nor love games. Hes an anaylst who used to number crunching and predicting one pack of falacies after another.

Does it really need to take more than 10 years to bring a Duke Nukem Forever?

u no wat sucks guys? my friend in santiago chile already has it! if u want u can go to his youtube account to see his vids there only like 30 secs or u can type on the search bar "real gta 4 gameplay in chile" or follow these links: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Eu7GmbSxKZU and the second one is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=P6r9wq3KQ2w. Gamertag is General Fenix if u wish to discuss anything bout gta 4

Maybe it did better than Halo because it was better than Halo? Just a suggestion (I honestly don't know which is 'better').

As long as the game is good, and long

gta 4 was going to launch on my birthday. even with rumours rockstar still toted their head high saying they rocked and would deliver on time. then they screwed over and gave it too us late

I was depressed for month when i heard that GTA 4 will get delayed to 2008 Q1 but now im all excited now and cant wait for this game to be released

Well for what it's worth, I'm buying a copy.

yes gta4 will be the game with the highest sellrate of 08 i think :)

it well do better then halo just bcuz it be on 2 sytems instade like halo only 1 btw it be better on 360 bcuz it's being made for the 360 and ps3 just be geting a copy lol

GTAIV... and nothing is needed 8)

cant wait untill spring 08 and fall because 1~fable 2~fall 2~gta 3~battlefield bad company ~unreal tourment

Yeah, i think GTA IV will sell very good! :) And now i really want a exact release date, this is the only game i'am looking forward to right now! ^.^

I remember reading an article stating that they had an option to borrow money with a bank in case of shortfalls. If they did this well, hopefully they won't need it anymore. It'll be better for investors. More importantly, this game needs to release so we can all get our copies of it :)

I just hope this game is original. Where as the last two GTAs were just a rehash of GTA 3 (including the graphics).

Want a release date soon please...

25th April 2008, Gamesradar rekons GTA IV will be out

I agree, GTA is a massive Franchise, It can easily do what Halo did For Microsoft.

I do believe that GTAIV will earn the company a lot of money, it has a huge fan-base
