GTAIV Dated to April 29th

Posted by Zonk on from the grand-theft-awesome dept.

Joystiq is reporting that Take-Two has nailed down a final release date for Grand Theft Auto IV . When they delayed the game last year, they said they were aiming for a February to April target, and they're making it ... barely. "If you've checked out the multitude of previews that dropped this week, you'd know that game is looking really, really awesome, so we're counting on Rockstar to hit its date this time around. What more is there to say, really? GTA IV. April 29."

    Don't forget banging hookers and then killing them to get your money back. That was always GTA's most charming feature.

  2. Rockstar doesn't need Jack Thompson... by westlake · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    And a video gamer's best friend, Jack Thompson, files suit against Take Two, Walmart, Microsoft, Sony, Best Buy, and cousin Skippy on April 30th.

    Rockstar doesn't need Jack Thompson to push GTA off a cliff. Rockstar is perfectly capable of doing that on its own.

    Case in point:

    The Rockstar exec or PR flack who memorably touted the heightened engagement - emotional involvement - of the player using a Wii controller to mime the torture porn kills in Manhunt 2.
