T2: Grand Theft Auto IV DLC and Chinatown Wars delayed |
Ó
Looks like it'll be a Grand Theft Auto-less holiday season. Santa must have been reindeer-jacked.According to Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, both the Xbox 360-exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV DLC and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the DS have been delayed. Says Zelnick:
[The GTA IV DLC is] close to being complete. That said, it may move into the second quarter. Downloadable content is a big undertaking. It is important to be really special.
We might not see it until Spring of 2009. Chinatown Wars, on the other hand, is now promised to be released in the first of the fiscal year, which translates to April of next year.
It'll be interesting to see how this will go down. If you guys have been following news on the Houser brothers, the creative think tank behind the GTA franchise, you'd know that their contract expires this February. If both games will be released after their contract expires, does this suggest that they will renew their contract with T2 after all?

about dlc if you don't have it ready. your mechanic won't call you if you car isn't ready, why talk about dlc if it is not TESTED and READY *first*
All this delay to the DLC only makes me wonder if it will actually be groundbreaking, if not, it will most likely be disappointing.
Same old game industry BS. They have to spin everything so stupid fanboys think they are being done a big favor. "We can't tell people that someone didn't do their job and now the games are delayed... so how about we say we're making it better!"
How the ***** is this DS news?
Chinawars Delayed O_o
"If both games will be released after their contract expires, does this mean suggest that they will renew their contract with T2 after all?"
>does this mean suggest<
Will we be seeing a www.grammar.qj.net anytime soon?
Oh. My bad. I thought Chinatown Wars was DLC for GTA4. How embarrassing. Heh.
(and I'm used to off-topic news on the pspupdates blog)
At least this means that Rockstar isn't just hashing out a set of some easily scriptable missions and throwing it out there for 15 dollars, when not much work went into it. It seems to me like they are actually trying to put out something worth having and that's something.
