R* Blames PS3 for Delay
Posted On: Thursday 24 January 2008
Reports are coming in to us that the delay was because of development issues with the PS3. Rockstar hinted that GTA IV may have actually been ready for release back in October if it were not for the PS3 development going slowly.
A Rockstar rep has come out and told MTV that the PS3 was a big factor in why GTA IV had to be delayed beyond its scheduled holiday 2007 release date in either October or November.
He did state though that the development is at the point now where the PS3 version has caught up to the Xbox 360 version.
He stated that the PS3 is no longer an issue in terms of the development of GTA IV on it, stating that it is identical to the Xbox 360 version.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick stated that the reason for the delay of GTA IV was due to “technological problems,” or “challenges.”
The rep told MTV News that “It’s really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to that.”
He stated “That’s not to say, there’s anything wrong with the PS3 version. It’s awesome. They’re both identical.”
