Wth is gold?DEF-JAM

When a game is 100% finished and ready to ship.

[QUOTE="DEF-JAM"]Wth is gold?roxyg

When a game is 100% finished and ready to ship.

It means the console manufacturer (Sony) has reviewed and approved the final version of the game code.

Lots of games don't go gold until approximately one week before they're scheduled to ship.Please_ThankYou

Yes, he is right.

They quite often don't go gold untill a week or so before they are scheduled to ship.

I would be so dissapointed if it was delayed, but I seriously doubt it.

Gamespot had a news story a few days ago that GTAIV could get delayed until Holiday 08 possibly due to the EA takeover thing.

However, that was 'possibility' and had nothing to do with the game not being finished.

Yes my plan to dress up like a M$ rep and say GTA IV would be delayed so I could buy it first is working.:twisted:Vyse_Legends

Why you...?? now I'll have to take off your clothes to show him that you're a fake M$ rep.

Jesus, I hope that doesn't happen.

You have no idea how pissed off I would be.

But again, I seriously doubt it.

Rockstar know that they need to release it now after it being delayed already.

I just hope it comes out for the PS3 on 4/29/08.

Can you two STFU?!

The game won't get delayed again, especially in light of the takeover bid from EA.

It was supposed to be released a full six months ago. When that didn't happen, the developer underwent an extensive "restructuring" within the management ranks. That means the people responsible for making the progress reports on the project got canned for lying about the state of the game. And everyone else probably got a pretty stern pep talk.

This is a big title. You can rest assured that it's been monitored very closly since the last delay.

Please_ThankYou

Gimme a sec and I'll try to find the article.

I had a different article in mind, but this press release gives the gist if you read between the lines.

They cite costs associated with "restructuring initiatives" in all four quarters. They also mention an investigation into "unusual legal matters". A huge delay, months of misleading progress reports leading up to the delay, stock-option shadiness... Somebody (maybe lots of somebodies) got dealt with.

So, you don't think it'll get delayed, you think it'll come out on the 29th of April this year?

Even if it's a steaming, unpolished pile of plopp. But I have high hopes. Six extra months of development can go a long way.

I mean that there's too much at stake for another delay. The game will come out on the 29th even if it's still not ready. At this point, the quality of the game is less important than the need to get it out there and start making a return on the investment.

I'm not saying the game will be bad... I'm pretty sure it's going to be great. But we're going to see it in about two weeks whether it's good or not.

I hope so. It's been in development for three and a half years, so you know its gotta be at least decent. I'd rather play it this month unpolished than later polished up.
