One of the most anticipated games of 2008 has been given a firm release date. Rockstar Games has issued a statement saying that Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto IV will be released simultaneously for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 worldwide on April 29. A release date of April 25 had previously been rumoured for the UK, though some leaks of US retail materials pointed to a March release. It had originally been set for an October 2007 release, and its shock delay to 2008 was blamed on the "time-intensive nature" of dual-platform development.
The latest iteration of the series follows the adventures of Eastern European immigrant Nikolai Bellic as he searches Liberty City for an as-yet-unnamed person from his past. The release, which some analysts see as having the potential to outsell Halo 3, could provide a major boost for Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive, which has struggled financially over recent quarters.

:( No PC release. Not yet at least. Maybe It'll be like the other GTA's and get a port later on down the road. For now its just PS3 and 360. |

| This might be a reason to actually get a next-gen system. IF it isn't delayed again... |

In the past, PC has always looked better, even if it is only a higher res. Plus, I prefer the KB+M to a controller. They usually make you wait at least a half a year from the console release. :sadgreen: |

Plus, the PC version allows for mods and user created custom content, which extends the life of the game. I remember back in the Vice City days when they somehow were able to modify a component to make the game have online multiplayer. I never tried it out and I know little of it, but just another reason why the PC version will likely be better. |
