Us PC gamers just went through Take 2's fiscal Q2 report and it says...

"Fiscal 2008 guidance reflects the release of the first installment of episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 instead of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 in order to provide a better balance in Take-Two's release schedule."

And it didn't say anything about a PC release either...

It's a sad day for GTAF.

NOTE: Take 2's fiscal year starts on November, not on October like most companies.

[Mr. Someguy]

Anyone else think they did this so they could see what SR2 does, then better it?

[23Jarek23]

sure why not......dudes just made half a bill....vacation time for everyone....

[unoleian]

So, possibly October.

I'm not too worried about when it drops, but damn I hope they make with some hard info soon to slow down this rumor machine rolling over it right now.

They probably read all the complaints here and knew they had to offer something more than only missions.

EDIT: @Unoleian: Take2's fical Q1 begins in November, not October.

Some extremly detailed fingerless gloves for all the cry babies.

Seriously though, i dont mind waiting, im quiet happy with what we have already. The longer the wait the more content we shall see hopefully.

[unoleian]

The more I read into it, and in complete context, the more it reads like the DLC itself is not affected, but adjusted for when they wanted to reflect the future earnings potential of said DLC.

Since original report above wasn't sourced, here's the complete package

Is there any content for the ps3?

No. well at least not to what we know but it will get some DLC not all like 360.

[AntiPersonnel]

IIRC, Q1 2009 is nov/dec 2008 and jan 2009.

so it could still be on schedule for nov 2008.


EDIT: i just checked, actually Q1 2009 starts october 1, and ends dec 31 2008.

so what you posted is actually old news, because the original release date for DLC was supposed to be august (Q4 2008), but was recently confirmed a few weeks ago to be pushed to about november.

dont worry, it isnt delayed any further

No, In the PC thread we had that discussion already.

Take 2 has it's own fiscal year. Q1 Starts on November 1st for them.

i dont believe anyone who has that avatar

[ContadorLavinsky]

well...my opinion about why DLC got delayed till Q1 of 2009 is that they will be very busy releasing PC version of GTA4 thats why they will have no time for DLC but thats just my 5 cents...

I've updated my post, it's got a source link in it now.

[Zee]

wait does this mean things like parachutes etc. are being delayed as well.

[derek3056]

They're doing it for bigger Christmas sales.

Man, by the time it's all said and done GTA IV might sale over 15 million.

[gamesguru]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mind you, the DLC might be improved over what we would have got in August; just like the delay of the game, it actually worked out better for everyone.

[Agravice]

Well I waited through the GTA4 delay and didn't self-implode, won't now.

I did; but the medics put the pieces back together. I almost imploded this time, but thankfully the medication they gave me works wonders!
