GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City for the PS3 and PC delayed |
Listed in: PS3, PC Gaming Tags: dlc, grand theft auto iv, Rockstar Games, sony computer entertainment europe
Rockstar Games has announced that due to a last minute game submission request from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe to edit some in-game contents, the Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City for both the PS3 and PC will be delayed for an extra two weeks. According to the publishers blog post:
The new release date for Episodes from Liberty City - and the two downloadable episodes The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony - on those platforms is now April 13th in North America and April 16th in Europe. This new date will enable us to rectify these changes for Sony Europe, and still allow for a level playing field for all of the Grand Theft Auto fans that have been waiting patiently for this release. In the meantime, we’re moving full speed ahead towards the new game release date. On that note – please be aware that the Grand Theft Auto IV PlayStation 3 leaderboards at Rockstar Games Social Club will be down for maintenance for one week starting March 22nd as we work on their re-launch in support of Episodes from Liberty City.
Unfortunately, with each round of changes comes fully re-testing the game and a full re-submission to PlayStation. This is the nature of the game submission process. Believe us, if we could expedite the turnaround any sooner – we would. We are dying to get this game in the hands of fans who’ve waited for it for so long in the first place.
There are different regional requirements for content – whether dictated by ratings boards like the ESRB and BBFC or by SCEE – this is pretty standard in the world of entertainment.
This was a tough decision but with a simultaneous release, everyone can experience multiplayer simultaneously, take part in online events together, be on level ground on leaderboards, etc.
The first Episodes events for those systems will now be on April 16th and 17th. We will most likely replace the originally scheduled early April events with one for another game. Any requests?

What are you talking about?
But I do agree with you about not paying for it. Too little too late. I'm not going to dig out a game I haven't played in years just for this...

He has got to fabricate shit. He is probably just bored because he had to send his fucking XBOX 360!!!!11!!11!1!!11 back to microsoft so they could fix the inevitable red ring that he got, AGAIN. so, he has to bash sony users to make himself feel better, and in turn try to show off his e-peen.
seriously guy, grow the fuck up and gtfo of a section that you so dearly hate. im not any fan boy or anything, but sittin here reading what you are saying is like hearing a MS exec speak. its boring and cluttered.

If it was SCEE who wanted to ADD something, WHY would it be deleting old missions? Imagine Sony saying "hey... Rockstar, we've come with this request for you, we actually don't want to have a good game, so, could you delete half of the missions for us, please? I mean, it was for the 360 from the start so we don't really think we deserve the DLC at all. In fact, if you feel like it, why don't you just scrap the whole game. Yeah, that would be the best. Xbox rulz!!".
