It’s been a long time coming for Grand Theft Auto IV. Long heralded as the series that always makes its ship dates, GTA IV was the first in the franchise to curb stop that myth into oblivion when it was announced that the game would indeed be delayed until 2008. Well, 2008 is here and a official ship date has now been announced for Aril 29th.
“We are so excited to be releasing Grand Theft Auto IV,” said Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. “We’ve pushed ourselves very hard to make something incredible and hope the game sets a new benchmark for interactive entertainment.”
Are you ready? The weight of immense hype is upon this game. Will it live up to it all? Nope, but with games like Saints Row breathing down its neck, the pressure is on.

It won’t live up to the hype whatsoever you’re saying? What are you basing this on? Or maybe you were completely kidding since you are comparing this franchise to Saint’s Row?

Dave: I didn’t say whatsoever. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but gamers are a bunch that are hard to impress. GTA IV can create world peace upon it’s release and it still won’t be enough. Look at the Halo 3 hype. It’s a fantastic game, but so many had unrealistic expectations based on hype that the gaming community itself creates.
As far as Saints Row, its by far the closest to threaten the GTA franchise, in a miracle of a long shot.
