Take-Two is reducing its fiscal 2007 guidance primarily to reflect the movement of the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008, due to additional development time required to complete the title. The title is now planned for release in the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2008.

From GTA4.net



Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two, stated, “With Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar is setting a new standard for next generation video games. Certain elements of development proved to be more time-intensive than expected, especially given the commitment for a simultaneous release on two very different platforms. We all recognize that perfecting the game is vital and I can assure everyone it will be worth the wait. We owe it to the game’s millions of fans, to our dedicated development team, and to our shareholders to make sure that Grand Theft Auto IV is a groundbreaking gaming experience that takes maximum advantage of next generation technology.”

Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games, added, "The new consoles are allowing us to create the Grand Theft Auto game we always dreamed about. Every aspect of the game and its design has been completely transformed. The game is huge and is pushing the hardware platforms to their absolute limits. The top engineers from Sony and Microsoft are working closely with the team in Edinburgh right now, helping us to fully leverage the power of both platforms. As always, our goal is to surpass even the wildest expectations of the game’s fans, and to create the ultimate high definition video game experience

Grand Theft Auto delay hits firm
2 August 2007

Shares in the firm behind popular computer game Grand Theft Auto fell 16% after it said that its latest version of the popular game would be delayed.

Take-Two Interactive Software said the late arrival of Grand Theft Auto IV meant it would record an annual loss.

The game, which had been scheduled for release in October ahead of Christmas sales, is now due in mid 2008.

The news is a blow to Microsoft and Sony who had hoped it would help lift sales of their games consoles.

"It's a disappointment that the game won't come out in the holiday period. It's one of the biggest games of all time," said Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey.

"This is probably going to hurt the sell- through of the (Sony) Playstation3 and (Microsoft's) XBox 360."

Shareholders unhappy

Take-Two has had a turbulent couple of years, coming under fire for poor results, accounting problems and controversy over one of its games.

The New York firm has been accused of overstating profits and now faces a formal stock options probe.

It has also been criticised for the graphic sexual content of one of its Grand Theft Auto games, which was withdrawn from many shops.

Earlier this year, unhappy shareholders removed the New York firm's chief executive and most of its directors.

In June it said it would cut jobs as it sought to reduce costs by $25m (£12.6m) a year by 2008.

Maybe the delay will make the game appealing to me because I haven't seen or read anything that makes me want to care about or play this game.

I hate shareholders. You take a game called Grand Theft Auto (a criminal offence!) and you moan it has sexual natured themes and violence.. well duh!! lol... What happens when you fire all of the Take Two employees and replace them with people you want working there.. you no longer have Grand Theft Auto, you have a game that went from stealing cars and causing mayhem turned into the do right by society.. and who wants to play a game where you're some average joe walking down the street and see a car jacker and have to go steal back the car and return it... foil drug smuggling, alert the police to prostitution, and decline sex before marriage to your multiple girlfriends and so on

No thanks

haha i know! those girls gave you perks, who wants to give up that????
