Speaking at the BMO Capital Market conference today, Take-Two
fitness guru Strauss Zelnick posed some new release dates for the next entries in Rockstar's sprawling crime epic,
Grand Theft Auto. All signs point to peace in the streets as we approach
Chinatown War's previously marked release in late January. Strauss has pushed the
downtown conflict into Take-Two's second fiscal quarter, which runs from February through April.
Possibly joining the isometric pocket pusher in Q2 will be the overdue
GTA IV DLC for Xbox 360. Strauss still has his heart set on January, though, as the total package is "close to completed."

wow, stereotyping much?

When has Rockstar not stereotyped in GTA?
Sora @ Nov 13th 2008 7:46PM
Accusing GTA of stereotyping is like accusing Ivy from Soul Calibur of having huge breasts.

Is that GTA Chinatown Wars or Auto Modellista? I can't tell.
As for the DLC - To little to late for most people to give a shit about. If the DLC drops and is good & fairly priced I will pick up a 360 copy of GTA IV. Target has those brand new limited editions here in my hometown for $40.00. The one with the lockbox or whatever it is.

That would appear to be an in-depth carjacking tutorial. My wit escapes me. I'm left to stare in wonder at the degradation of society. Moving on.

January would be a good time for this DLC (well, ideally, August/September would have been a good time) when we've all finally made it through this month's backlog. The question is: How many people still have their copies of GTAIV?

I did until today. Just traded it in. Got sick of waiting for this crap.

I'm wondering if there will be any voiceovers in this one, and if they'll have horrible accents. Because all Asians in the U.S. have "Asian" accents. ;)

You think you've got it bad? I've never played a game in which Brits are not either badly-written cockneys or some kind of upper-class duke bastard.

you mean the Ali-G movie wasn't a documentary?

Does anyone even give a crap about the GTAIV DLC anymore? Personally, I was pumped for it, but it's taking so long that it just died. I just traded my copy in today towards WotLK.

im still curious about it. i have GTAIV on PS3 (before i got a 360) but now im wondering if the DLC may be worth trading in my copy and buying it on 360. so basically it depends on what it is. i stopped playing it almost as soon as i beat it but it was still a fun and well made game, i could go for some more if the DLC is big enough.

We had solid concrete details of GTA4 months before its release, and this DLC will HOPEFULLY come out in a couple of months and yet absolutely no details of the DLC, what it will be.
All we know is that it will be large, episodic DLC...
Vcize @ Nov 13th 2008 2:14PM
So when the heck are they going to tell us what the DLC actually is, rather than just throwing about a bunch of release dates that they keep moving around?

If I were Microsoft I'd still want to be mentioning 'exclusive GTA levels' or something similarly almost-misleading in any Christmas marketing.

That player 2 dude looks like a Chinese Will Smith.
Daniel @ Nov 13th 2008 3:22PM
Wow, Calling All Cars looks pretty good on the DS....er...wait..
j.howlett @ Nov 13th 2008 4:01PM
as a long time rockstar/gta fan i'm mostly curious about the mini games
Gortyo @ Nov 13th 2008 4:40PM
Is that Will Smith in the top right picture? I didn't know he was in this GTA...
zlickrick @ Nov 13th 2008 4:44PM
This game looks like shit.
Foetoid @ Nov 13th 2008 6:04PM
Don't buy it?
Personally i've never enjoyed any of the 3D iterations of GTA. They were all snoozefests of the highest order, tho i thoroughly enjoy both Saints Row games. I'm old enough to remember and love GTA1 and GTA2, and this brings back fond memories. It's gonna be great.

I'm looking forward to Chinatown Wars. I haven't touched my DS in years, literally.

As for GTA IV DLC, I hope it involves enlivening things like the amusement park, skate park, driving range, etc.

DELAYED? COMING OUT ON PS3!
