Hi everyone,

I wanted to tell you personally that we have decided to move Grand Theft Auto IV back a bit. We also want to thank you for all the incredible support you've shown us over the years. WeÃ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ll have more information very soon, but in the meantime hereÃ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s a release weÃ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢re sending out to the press.

Best wishes,

Sam

Attached was a Press Release that states Take Two require additional time to develop the game, and it will be released in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Obviously this is a massive disappointment, but we can at least take some satisfaction from knowing that the game will almost definitely be better as a result.

In a way it's good for me as now I have chance to buy other games that IV got in the way of.

Good for them. At least it wont be rushed and they'll have all the good features and shit they say they will.

Is this good or bad....

BAD:

Having to wait

GOOD:

More time to make sure they fuck nothing up.

BAD:

Putting up with more ever-so-tempting trailers to irritate us to hell.

GOOD:

Won't need to ask Santa for an Xbox 360/PS3 this Christmas - more life for me PS2 lol.

BAD:

More time for jerk-offs like Jack Thompson to get the game banned.

GOOD:

More of a dependance on San Vice, or Vice Andreas, to help keep us going until GTAIV

Kingjad, that last point isnt a good thing, especially if ur in the team

Not so bad to me. Have more time to earn money for teh game and ps3. Hope they will do a perfect work on that, can't wait. And.. actually i'm not surprised a lot by that.

Maybe they are putting in more bumps and rails lol well this sucks a little bit, just heard it from a guy on Xbox, but yeah it's true we (atleast xbox users) will have less updates every once and awile cause if they work on it longer => less bugs/glitches
