Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA IV) Delayed to be released on 2 December

[Reegan]

This rumor is said to be true. The PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV, originally scheduled for the end of November, is finally delayed. Reported by some guys in the online magazine of IGN, Rockstar has confirmed information indicating December 2 as the new U.S. release date. The title should then be distributed in the aftermath in Europe. In the meantime, we invite you to read our Preview of Grand Theft Auto IV.

In any case, it will be under the Christmas tree! It is more about a few days.

Exactly!
First November 21 and now December 2, after waiting for 6 months ...

The picture that accompanies this brief was submitted yesterday in New York by Strauss Zelnick, the sulfur CEO of Take-Two. It shows a Metacritic average for the titles of publisher, which is therefore ahead of Electronic Arts and THQ. Then we find that Take-Two, which owns the Rockstar studios, took the third piece of the pie in the United States (between 2002 and 2007) behind the two mastodons that are Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard. The latest information, it is quite true gadget shows the percentage of players with the titles of the GTA series. For the first three opus (GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas), there are numbers after a year of sales for Playstation 2. One can therefore see that 32% of owners of Playstation 3 and 28% of players bought Xbox 360 game Rockstar, which is quite comfortable we must admit. With the global success of Grand Theft Auto IV, available now in Japan (and receiving an excellent reception) and arriving early December on a PC, there is no doubt that Take-Two may still continue to celebrate long.

Remember all that stuff about GTA IV and Games for Windows Live? And how the press release kept dropping words like "exclusive" and "Games for Windows - LIVE" uncomfortably close to each other? It's OK. The game isn't exclusive, either to Microsoft's GFW brand or Games for Windows - LIVE service. It's just appearing there first. A listing for Grand Theft Auto IV has since appeared on Steam, with a release date of December 3. A short delay, yes, but one that's probably all too worth it for those in the pro-Steam, anti-GFW-LIVE camp.
