Grand Theft Auto IV, that's right, the 9th game in the Grand Theft Auto series has had it's release date delayed from 2007 to around April 2008 because of additional time needed to complete the title.

Why you ask? Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two, stated, “With Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar is setting a new standard for next generation video games. Certain elements of development proved to be more time-intensive than expected, especially given the commitment for a simultaneous release on two very different platforms. We all recognize that perfecting the game is vital and I can assure everyone it will be worth the wait. We owe it to the game’s millions of fans, to our dedicated development team, and to our shareholders to make sure that Grand Theft Auto IV is a groundbreaking gaming experience that takes maximum advantage of next generation technology.”

I guess all of us die-hard GTA fans will have to wait till next year untill we can get our greedy little hands on this baby. But, by the sounds of it, it's gonna be worth the wait. Check out screenshots and trailers here.

Full story here.

While we wait for all the great games to start hitting the shelves I thought I would pass along this little bit of good news for all you Gran Turismo fans.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue’s North American release date has finally been confirmed. GT5 Prologue will be out in Japan this December and the North American version will be released on February 19, 2008.

I know I am looking forward to this one. We all should be. The hype surrounding this game is unbelieveable.

There have been rumors going around saying that a Playstation 4 is in the works, and it will be released later this year. That is mostly true, Sony is working on the PS4, but a launch is not planned until after 2010. This does not mean that the PS3 will be cancelled anytime soon; but it means that Sony is planning ahead.

Yet Another great Release From Sbcroix, a PlayStation Programer from Lili-Chan Software, who has just released an updated version of his PS3 Theme Builder!

Updates to expect from this version are:

Download

PS3 Theme Builder v1.6

The newest firmware for the PS3, firmware 2.01, was released to fix instability issues on the console, but it may have done the complete opposite for Call of Duty 4.

Angry gamers have reported that since updating their PS3's', they have been unable to play the online mode in the game. Of course they blame the new firmware.

Some users, however, say they managed around two hours of play after updating before the errors began to occur. Firmware related or server related? CoD 4 servers have been very temperamental over the past few days…

Both Sony and Activision had been oblivious to the problem.

The Official Sony Rumble-Enabled Sixaxis controller for the PlayStation 3 is now available in Japan. Above you can see the inner workings of the controller.

It is similar to the previous Dual Shock 2 with a twin-motor set-up. A ceramic white edition of the controller is also siad to be available. The only draw back is that black buttons on a white controller don't quite flow.

With the exception of Europe, which the site is not exporting to, the controllers are available from PlayAsia.

That’s right, Sony President Ken Kutaragi recently held a press conference announcing the imminent release of the Sony PlayStation4. He States it to be “a leap ahead of our competition”. He Plans possibly to have PS3 games run thru the new PS4 system, but with greater quality and functionality. He then later plans on Designing games made specifically for the PS4, but announces that this is not possible with the current technology. The PS4 is said to be released around Christmas this year.

It can only make one wonder what Microsoft will come up with to retaliate such a release.

The latest firmware for the PS3 has been released and it doesn’t look like they have done much new. It looks like the issues with the game Assassin’s Creed and the feature remote play were dealt with though.

Official Changelog

• Stability during playing some PLAYSTATION 3 format software has been improved.
• Stability of System Software including Internet Browser and Information Board has been improved.
• Stability of the upscaler for PlayStation 2 format software has been improved. (Playability of PlayStation 2 depends on model)
• [Remote Start] feature is changed to avoid unintended power on.

Firmware Update 1.94 is now available.

After the firmware update , I had my ps2 controller hooked up and the option appear (Rumble) On/Off….Isnt this nice?

***for everyone saying this is fake, well it isn't.  Its through Ratchet & Clank Future. Buy the game, put it in and then it will say you need to upgrade before playing.
