It looks like Grand Theft Auto IV is making good time on its way to an April 29 release. The game has gone gold which means (and you should all know this by now) that the game is done and being mass produced. In this case, however, GTA IV is not only gold but already mobile -- the games are shipping out to retailers.
At this point, the only thing that could stop the game now is if they somehow found a mistake with the printing ... or if some impatient gamers plan a GTA of their own and steal one of the delivery trucks. We're not trying to make you worry with our doomsday scenarios -- just pointing out the possibilities. April 29 is less than two weeks away, are you excited?

Very excited.
BOY is it going to be a bummer when I pick it up and read the back to find out it doesn't do 1080i. (Seems like that's still the only way to find out what display modes a game does)

Wrong Ninja Gaiden said 1080i, 1080p and that wasn't the case at all.
hint:720p

You need to get with the times friend. If your TV can only handle 1080i it's ancient in HDTV years.

Jtenma - what are you talking about? Ninja Gaiden absolutely supports 1080i and 1080p.
Popfrogs - thanks for telling me something I obviously already know. Unfortunately I'm a university student and it's damn lucky that I managed to find ANY sort of HD-capable TV I could afford, so "getting with the times" isn't really a viable option right now.
Regardless of how small a group it serves, failing to support 1080i just seems lazy to me. I don't see how 1080i (or even a fake 1080i that's really like 600i/p like Halo 3 and COD4) is that much more taxing than 720p, which is essentially twice the frame rate.

I don't get why they still don't have a handle on this issue. I mean, those Burger King games for Xbox supported 1080i (as well as 720p and 480p.) Why can't most PS3 games?
Besides the lack of a scaler chip, I mean...

I hope they press mad crazy numbers of them. No place locally to pre-order locally, going to be in line when the stores open on the 29th.

Yeah, I'm excited for all the news reports on it for the next year saying how horrible it is for our "children". I'm not going to be playing it anytime soon though. It's just not for me right now.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. Game looks okay, nothing to write home about.
P.S Pre-ordered two copies in town - in the event they over subscribe.

I know deep down I'm going to go through the same hassle with amazon That I had when Burnout Paradise was released... It was almost 2 weeks late being shipped. sooooo who knows. I pre-ordered Late January so I may actually get it in a relatively short time after the release.

why did you preorder through Amazon? did they have a deal going on or something? or do you not live near any game stores? just curious is all.
i know i would be pissed if i had to wait for them to send the game to me while everyone else is already playing. no thank you lol. i preorder at brick and mortar only.

Yeah I canceled my Amazon Pre-order because I don't want to have to wait for it to be shipped to me.

Best case scenario, they send out copies to the Movie Gallery that I work at and I get to take it home and play like a week before like some major games have done before...Madden 08, Turning Point, Halo 3, and a couple of other crappy ones. Fingers crossed

I'm hoping it gets sent out early to me, from what I can tell with preordered from every site I've tried its random, some turn up early, others turn up weeks late, even on the same website. Got a CE coming so should be nice :)
