I trust this site more and it says simultaneous release for the 360 and PS3.
If it happened it be a hilarious F u to MS from Rockstar.
But just maybe you all need to stop overreacting to a simple mistake on a website.
Dodece is correct - you can't just break a contract, repay the money, and walk away. MS can sue for specific performance, compelling Take Two and Rockstar to honor the original contract, and probably monetary damages if the PS3 version went on sell before it was supposed to.
dodece hit it spot on
With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B
Proud supporter of all 3 console companys
Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp
Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.
Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.UN less..
Rockstar is no more. And becomes sony. This would not break any contract, but would make it invalid.

The plot thickens. Take 2's website has moved GTA IV back to an October release stating "coming to xbox 360, PS3"

Nope. Sony is then liable for all obligations formerly held by Rockstar.

Doesn't work that way Leo-J, it would just give MS a bigger company to sue.

| Dodece said: Their is a lot of bologna being tossed around in this thread. Fellow posters are playing far too lax with a little thing called reality. The 360 version of the game was the one being demoed to reviewers for their previews of the title. Even if the the 360 version were the issue now it most certainly was not the issue when the delay was instigated. Has anyone actually seen this game run on a PS3? So how can you assume it is farther along. Microsoft would sue Take 2 into a quivering pile of protoplasm. Microsoft is not above making an example, and if the breach of contract cost them console sales they would add that to the list of damages. Microsoft would consume everything they had like a plague of locusts. From their physical assets to their intellectual properties. You don't have to play nice with a company you would destroy, and would also cost your competition two exclusive titles. The most likely conclusion would be Microsoft filing an injunction in court. Which would prevent the games sale. Then they would cite breach of contract and file suit to get the money they already paid Take 2 back. Not only the millions they paid for exclusive content, but the money they spent on securing the porting rights, and even the money they spent on asset allocation in the form of staff. Were Microsoft really heartless they might retract their licensing agreement with Take 2. Meaning they could not mine their player base. The result would be a Bankrupt Take 2. That would be sold at a loss to some other developer. This rumor is about as probable as the moon turning purple. Only in a fevered fanboys imagination can such scenarios play out. Take 2 is not going to behave this idiotically for some fanboy ideal. Some posters should really be ashamed of themselves. You know better then to take the least likely scenario, and build speculation around it. Some of this speculation is not even based in reality at all. I am shocked one of you guys hasn't said and Jesus descended from heaven and told the people the PS3 was good. I am just shocked you guys have spun a incorrect listing into a full blown scenario of PS3 domination with a game pack in on a four hundred dollar console that has not even been confirmed yet. What exactly are you guys taking that makes this seem even possible. |
In order to make such a statement I am guessing you have the exact details of the contract between MS and take 2 and all the details of every meeting they have had since? Would you kindly share it with the rest of us?
