Darn it. When I saw the incomplete title on the sites homepage I thought it would be about Zelnick's mum responding to Jack Thompsons letter :-P | |
hahaha. i would have love to seen that one. i bet her reply was something like "Yo mo-fo, my homie loves to slap yo'ass around da-house" and we would all be like .... ahhhhh, so thats where the GTA idea came from | |
Its worth noting that on Metacritic, many games have had a higher user rating than GTAIV. Currently, such classics as Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and such other underdogs as Shadow of the Colossus retain a higher rating than GTAIV by the community. | |
Me too! I was praying for her to come out and smack Thompson. | |
Alpha Centuri was a great game | |
Until the cloning vats...Can we say "I win!"? | |
Oh... I get it now. Gah, why must the title contain British slang? I was under the impression The Escapist was an American site. | |
British 'slang' is the English language the way it's meant to be used, you incoherent cheeseburger-inhaling yanks. </yahtzee> | |
I don't see British slang in there at all. I see a British spelling, but not slang. | |
It'd be a case of different spelling if it meant "mother". But it doesn't. | |

Rockstar Mum On Reports Of Grand Theft Auto IV For PC
Rockstar North has responded with a firm "no comment" to reports that a PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV will be released by the end of the year.
Reports of a possible PC edition of the game first surfaced in January among French retailers, according to a CVG report, and German online game seller City Disc now has a Games for Windows version of the title listed as being available on October 30 of this year. A disclaimer attached to the ad has been translated as, "The release date for GTA 4 for PC has not yet been confirmed by the publisher, Take 2. The release date is not guaranteed and is open to change."
When contacted by CVG for comment, Rockstar responded with a simple "no comment," but the article points out that Grand Theft Auto III and its sequels typically took six to eight months to transition from console to PC, which would fit with a late-2008 release.
Grand Theft Auto IV was released on April 29 to unprecedented levels of praise, achieving perfect review scores from IGN, 1Up, EuroGamer, GameSpy, Game Informer, Official Xbox Magazine, GameDaily, GameSpot, GamePlanet and numerous others. The game currently has a 99/100 ranking on Metacritic based on 31 reviews, and many analysts have predicted it will be the most successful videogame launch of all time.
