As far as we know right now, GTA 4 will be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at the same time on April 29th. The hold up that prevented the game from being released on the 16th of October 2007 was that Sony wanted the same content at the same time as Xbox, as opposed to being released in patches. There was talk from The Rockstar camp that there would be special Internet related content for each console. The content was supposed to be console specific. It turns out that is not the case now. Neither console camp could agree with what they had been assigned as “special content.” Now it looks like the only online content we will see is media and special in game ringtones, for the phone you use in the game, and or notifications of when content is ready. Really it is unclear what they are saying so please do not hold this to heart.

We have heard about EA bidding for Rockstar Games and Microsoft bidding as well.
What I have heard today is that Sierra is being bought out by Blizzard games. Sierra is the maker of most Blizzard expansions anyhow, and will just take on the Blizzard name. Sierra also made expansions to many first person shooters. Let’s see what happens in the future.
In the back of my mind I see it being cool to mix two companies but somehow the stupid section is making the most sense. “Hey, I will be limited in choices” if all gaming companies merged into one.
Well I have my Grand Theft auto vice city and my GTA San Andreas working just fine under Linux. Having an issue with gtaIII at the screen where it is saying it is setting up for my video card and then it just locks up, unsure what happened.
I have Delta force one and two working fine, I am now working on getting black hawk down to work and will be headed to making deltaforce extreme work on Linux. I will be helping you guys all get through this . My ultimate goal is to play online with anyone of the deltaforce games after deltaforce one. I wouldn’t mind a nice capture the flag or TeamDeath Match and not have to worry about some brat hacking me because I set myself to DmZ on my router for open ports.
After that works I will be moving on to Need For Speed. Carbon and most wanted .(i actually like most wanted a lot more).
If anyone is already deep into either one of these and making them work on linux please hit me up with a little help, I may not be as far along as you.
Thanks guys for reading this stuff, this is fun.
