360 not as good as PS3
How does this have ANYTHING to do with 360 Developers? Zero.Quote:

I find it highly doubtful the 360 version is to blame.
As far as you know it could very well be the PS3 version that's causing the delay. It may not even be any consoles, I find it funny that the delay was moved to a different "fiscal" year which makes me wonder if the delay was on Rockstar for financial reasons. I mean look at all the great games being released this fall anyways. GTAIV will sell MUCH better if it comes out during a dry spell. This could be a Rockstar ploy to increase sales.
I was pissed when I first heard the news as I have a preorder on it and it was the only game I was giddy for this fall. But regardless whos to blame for the delay this will give more time for testing and any additions they may want to add. So all in all it's a bummer now, but potentially great thing in the long run. I'd rather wait a few extra months and have a more polished game than get it October and have some stupid ass glitch like the Xbox Vice City Pedestrian Glitch or something like that.
i looked on the gta forums to try and find a few reasons why its been delayed and found a few possible things.
1: UK Rebellion.com: Xbox 360 problems delay GTA IV. Microsoft bans Playstation 3 release.
2: IGN: Grand Theft Auto IV Delayed
3: this one doesnt really say much. Rockstar Games: Grand Theft Auto IV Delayed To 2008 - Kotaku
i know.. id just found out about the delay and was VERY pissed.Quote:

which if you ask me sounds like a more logical explanation... because it doesn't take six months to polish a game.
either way and for whatever reason the games not coming almost another year. so if it was because of sony im still pissed even if the game is better.
and another thing.... the game better be FUCKING PERFECT.
oh wait nevermind. well now all we have to look forward to is some more trailers and gameplay video lol.
lol? i already know the delay is true.... what i meant when i said 'if i find out this is true' was "if i find out it's the 360's fault for the delay"Quote:

and melkane... like i said earlier, just becuase the ps3 version is behind doesn't mean (if a console was responsible) that it's the reason for the delay.. it could very well easily mean the 360 is still the reason for the delay, and they're having a hard time working with the 360... so they have to concentrate on it more therefore, putting the ps3 on the back burners for the time being.
i also think rockstar should fucking tell us plainly and clearly what the cause of the delay is.... they're being so evasive and it's causing alot of uproar, especially between 360 and ps3 owners... everyone's blaming the other (for the most part) i believe we have a right to know what's going on in full detail
See no one truly knows...
PlayStation 3 responsible for GTA IV delay, surmises Pachter - Joystiq
Quote:
First up to bat is video game analyst extraordinaire, Michael Pachter who told our pals at GameDaily BIZ, "We think it is likely that the Rockstar team had difficulty in building an exceptionally complicated game for the PS3, and failed to recognize how far away from completion the game truly was until recently." Of course, he means really recently, since Take-Two did just reaffirm their plans to ship the game in October as recently as E3 (yeah, the one last month).
We know what you're thinking: Why not release the game for Xbox 360 in ought seven, and ship the PS3 release whenever it's ready (everyone else seems to be taking this course of action)? Pachter further surmises "that Take-Two had a contractual commitment to Sony that it would not favor competitor Microsoft by launching the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV prior to launching the PS3 version," calling it "the only plausible explanation."
that's the exact same (but opposite) thing i read on the playstation forums....Quote:

last night i was more pissed tho... o.0 so if it seemed i full heartedly believed what i posted, i didn't... infact i did say if i find out this is true ...

Actually looking at the fall lineup for PS3, the big game they were relying on was GTAIV. They have no giant release this fall, so this is a huge hit to them, despite their PR. Meanwhile 360 still has a list of big name titles to fall back on.
