|
Rockstar Games has announced Grand Theft Auto IV will arrive on PC this fall, scheduled for a North American release on November 18th and European three days later on November 21st.
Quote: Take Two New York, NY – August 6, 2008 – Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto IV will be arriving on the PC on November 18th and 21st in North America and Europe, respectively.
"We are very excited to be releasing the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "The whole team is dedicated to bringing an amazing gaming experience to the PC. The game looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can't wait for people to play it."
Developed by series creator Rockstar North and set in Liberty City, the latest installment in the enormously successful Grand Theft Auto series features a painstakingly detailed and life-like city for players to explore; a rich, immersive narrative experience; an original soundtrack highlighting the cultural eclecticism of Liberty City; and newly expanded multiplayer just for the PC.

| Viacom to buy Take Two for $1.5 billion? |
|
Industry rumours are building that Viacom has launched an official bid to seize control of Take Two Interactive.
The entertainment giant headed by Sumner Redstone is owner of MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks Studios. Annual group revenues are over $11 billion.
MCV understands that Viacom has made an offer of £23 a share for the games company behind blockbusters such as Grand Theft Auto and Bioshock. Last night Take Two shares were trading at just under $16, but mid-term ratings have been increasing for the stock since it was confirmed that GTA IV would be released at the end of April.
If Viacom is genuinely willing to offer a 30 per cent premium on the current stock value, this is not massively out of line with recent share price targets set by analysts such as Brent Thrill at Citigroup.
Whilst the company's current market cap is $1.16 billion, the Viacom interest could mean an offer for the company worth $1.5 billion. Major shareholders such as OppenheimerFunds, SAC Capital Management and Tudor Investment are known to be keen on selling their stakes should a good valuation emerge.
Now could be the perfect time for a predatory move, before the inevitable success of GTA IV returns some gloss to a company that has struggled for the past couple of years. Relations between the two organisations are also strong, with Take Two holding game rights to many Nickelodeon and MTV properties. |
