Awesome, get to wait 6 months after the summer for it to come to PC. :S I have been playing GTA since the beginning, I just hate waiting half a year for the PC release.

This is crap... I'm not one to trash talking pushed back released dates, but that's quite a bit of a push. I was hoping for February.

@moshakirby: That guy is a jerk. I liked the Assasins Creed joke.
--------------------------------------------------------
I believe that Gamestop still has it for a March release, unless Rockstar told them something. I'll check when I go into hell tonight, AGAIN, ugh these holiday hours are killing me. I remember when I was just a lowly ga with no experience at all. All I was then was a greeter.

@cdr: Why would you call someone sir just to call them an idiot? It's not funny, it's damned not polite, it just makes you look like the rest of the nonces calling people "sir" for whatever reason.

Well, don't mind too much to wait a little bit more.

BTW, does anyone know what the music was that was used in the trailer for the boxart?

Noooo, say it ain't so. I'm leaving for a five-month bnackpacking holiday like three or so days after it's released.

Will have to ensure EVERYTHING is ready before April 25, and just play for 72-odd hours straight then...? :P

And I thought this game wasn't supposed to come out until late '08. Sorry for the triple posts.

Judging by the comment, though, I'd say he's been deleted.

@Squanderdalfast: Rockstar was never really committed to release dates. I remember when VC1 was supposed to be released on October 22, and it ended out on October 29. <_<

Next thing you know, GTA Vice City (IV Generation) will be delayed a whole year. :P

Sorry all, but I just finished the last GTA. It was called Grand Theft Auto 0: Assassin's Creed. It was released in November.

As much as I don't like the GTA IP, April would be a smart release for Take Two.

holytramp — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 04:28:56 MST

The date is a lie /portal joke that seems to be required on every post by law .

It would be nice to see it out in April, but I very much doubt it. It's almost a tradition to delay games beyond the point of silly

As much as the release date is moved around, they should set it on April 1st. Then call whoever actually expects it to be out on that day a fool.

Micromedia, a Dutch distributor, has had the release date on April 15th for ages now. Doubt it means anything, they still have Haze as a possible release for the 360.

It's either going to be April or sometime after September lest it be lost in the summer months that publishers seem to hate.

I remember when Rockstar Games initially appeared to be committed to the 16 October 2007 release date.

So what, US on the 24th? Isn't that how it usually works? It's a good thing it didn't come this year, as I would probably be dead now trying to cram in a GTA on top of everything else. Like trying to cram another turkey down after thanksgiving dinner. Blowout.
