In a post-earnings conference call, Take-Two further dissected its fourth quarter earnings and answered questions from a group of industry watchers. While the publisher reaffirmed that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of GTAIV will launch simultaneously between February and March, Take-Two did say that the Xbox 360 version of the game will receive downloadable content into its fiscal year 2009. When asked whether the game will see a Wii release, a Take-Two representative said, "I think there are other titles that are better suited to the Wii than Grand Theft Auto 4."

 

Despite a "very, very solid performance" by NBA 2K8, the publisher noted that its 2K Sports division did not turn a profit in 2007. Overall, sports titles accounted for 20 percent of the publisher's revenue for the quarter, according to Take-Two CFO Lainie Goldstein. Other sports titles released for the year included All-Pro Football 2K8, The BIGS, and Top Spin 2, among others.

 

Following the strong performance of Carnival Games on the Wii, the publisher also noted that it would be bringing Cat Daddy Game's minigame compilation to the Nintendo DS this summer.

LMAO 2009?!?!?!?

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^ fiscal 2009 = march 2008 to march 2009 (me thinks)

[CarbonCore]

I think fiscal 2008 for US is Oct 2007 to Oct 2008. So you might see dlc for GTA4 in Q1 2009, thats Nov/Dec 2008.

April 25th UK release for GTA IV

 

Senior industry sources reveal massive title will miss Easter release period

 

MCV understands that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV will NOT be released in March as expected – and will in fact be held back until the last week in April.

 

Sources close to the game’s publisher have told MCV that the title’s UK release will miss the Easter period entirely, and will instead go on sale in the final week of Rockstar parent Take 2’s second financial quarter.

 

That would be in keeping with the company's latest financial statement, which revealed the title would be released in its Q2 period – which runs from February to the end of April.

 

A Rockstar spokesperson told MCV that the publisher didn’t comment on ‘rumour and speculation’.

 

f true, the rest of the market will breathe a huge sigh of relief – as they can enjoy the lucrative Easter period without doing battle with one of the biggest releases in recent years.

 

The news has certainly come as a surprise to the trade. One prominent member of the channel told MCV:

 

“The last I heard about GTA IV’s release was a couple of months ago, when all the changes were taking place at Take 2’s UK offices. Since then, they’ve gone a bit quiet on what’s going on with GTA IV.

 

“The way Take 2 work on GTA has always been very secretive. I’d expect some more concrete news from them two or three weeks before release.”

Fiscal year in the US is Jan - Dec.

It's very upsetting that R* omitted aircrafts in GTA IV, although their reason is pretty valid...

 

Planes > Helis

[Tyler]

^^ I for one am happy that there won't be any planes to fly...

 

Those airplane missions in SA almost made me give up on the game.

[Keyofx]

That mission where you had to mobike onto the cargo plane, fight the suits and then bail out with the parachute was brilliant though. It's an excellent example of just how good R* is with game design.

 

 

Edit: I don't think you actually got to fly the plane on that particular mission.

@tyler the mission was n.o.e

man this mission was really tough to pull off in the first try but there was a stratergy to complete it very easily

 

 

we shud fly over the ocean till angel pine n then go towards the drop point then go back the same way

for me the plane mission which took maximum no. of retries was the one where u need to jump from one plane to another ! It was damn frustrating to get to the ring behind the plane !

 

but overall, i loved the air missions of GTA SA, if not for them, the game is relatively easy to complete ! Even I'll miss the planes in GTA 4

Amen.

yea especially the one in which u have to go through circles in the air.. f**king boring and tiresome. i hated it. and landing the plane was a gr8 mess.. helicopters were good btw

[Ne0]

^^ It was not a mess, if u took all ur trainings properly at flying school, its a walk in the park ! For me zero's RC missions were more frustrating than the plane missions. Especially 'new model army' !

That mission alone almost killed the game for me. I was cursing at the devs for not having a "Restart Mission" option, given the number of re-tries it takes!
