[QUOTE="Zonerunner, post: 136531"] The only official line concerning that comes from Take Two's financial reports, which states: "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." The press release can be found [url="http://ir.take2games.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=258238"]here[/url]. If you were asking me for an opinion, it sounds like its the PS3's more complex architecture is causing the headaches, if recent trends are anything to go by (multi-platform ***les appearing on the PS3 weeks/months after the 360 version). However, I always felt the original release date given was optimistic at best. I've also just learned that Take-Two have renamed BioShock developer Irrational Games into 2K Boston and 2K Australia. EA does that too, and it annoys me slightly in its complete lack of originality. [/QUOTE]
