News \ PS3 contributed to GTA IV delay
Rockstar seems to have finally admitted to at least one of the reasons behind the delay of Grand Theft Auto IV from its original release date of October 2007 to April 2008.
Speaking to MTV, Rockstar's Jeronimo Barrera said: "It's really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to that. (but now) we're neck and neck. Back then that was something we were taking into account. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the PS3 version. It's awesome. They're both identical."
When it was revealed that GTA IV wouldn't be released in October of last year, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick cited "Technical difficulties" for the delay. Many industry insiders believed those "difficulties" had something to do with the PS3's recent run of development troubles, namely with The Orange Box and Rainbow Six Vegas. Now it seems, though, that the team is back on track according to Barrera.
"It's not an issue anymore."
Grand Theft Auto IV is set to be release on the 29th of April, 2008.

Yeah it is, it is because of what the PS3 uses, which is harder to make games on.

Hardly anything to be "proud" of. If you hear about a game being delayed because the hardware is proving difficult, that's not a good thing. I've read a few places developers critisising the PS3 hardward, citing it's very difficult to make games for. But that was a while ago and I'm sure it's fine now.
Geez, have you heard of sarcasm Gaetano?
