New York-based Take-Two today revealed that it currently has 20 games in development for the PlayStation 3, including more than seven titles from Grand Theft Auto house Rockstar Games.
The publisher confirmed that Grand Theft Auto IV will arrive on PS3 on October 16, 2007 in North America (the game is set for simultaneous release on Xbox 360). Rockstar's releases also include the Team Bondi-developed crime thriller L.A. Noire and forthcoming "extensions of blockbuster Rockstar Games franchises."
In addition, over eleven titles are in development from the publisher's 2K and 2K Sports divisions. NBA 2K7 and NHL 2K7 are day one launch titles, while College Hoops 2K7, Major League Baseball 2K7, The Darkness, The BIGS, NBA 2K8 and NHL 2K8 are a few other 2K titles that will be hitting Sony's next-gen platform.
GTA IV turned GTA into a more grounded franchise where storytelling and immersion became just as engrossing as wrecking up open-world sandboxes.
Members of the original development team behind Rockstar Games' LA Noire are working on a new psychological thriller called Sowden House.
Hopefully McNamara is as far away from this as possible he set up shop in Australia then did nothing but complain about Australian labour laws while trying to make his workers live at the office working 24/7 on la noire punishing them for leaving at 3 am and being 10 minutes late to work at 9am the next day.
It's astonishing that none of the workers went to the fair work ombudsman as the studio would have been fined astronomical numbers
Brendan McNamara is a brilliant writer and director but he should never, ever be in charge of a studio. What he did to those devs was far beyond "crunch", and it went on for, what, 7 years? That's insane.
But I'm glad to see some of that team have come together again to create something new. A psychological thriller sounds right up my alley.

This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
They forgot those games were coming to the 360 too!!!
“We applaud Sony for helping raise the bar in the next generation of gaming,” said Paul Eibeler, Take-Two’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As the hardware transitions to the next generation, Take-Two is working hard to position itself to emerge as a leading next generation publisher, with our focus on delivering quality titles and harnessing technologies like Sony’s cell processors and blu-ray storage capacity, as well as its proprietary SIXAXIS wireless controller. We’re not asking gamers to wait until we can evolve into the technologies. From day-one, our development team will astonish gamers with the fullest, deepest and most entertaining titles on the market.”
All that Sony-paid fluff...and yet not ONE SINGLE EXCLUSIVE on the slate for the PS3. This article SHOULD be titled 'Take-Two announces 20 games in development for PS3 and 360'
...most consumers wouldn't realize that. :o
No the sad thing is u spend all your life complaining and u boring us with it.
Soon all the kiss a** process will be over. The samething happen when the XBox 360 came out. 3rd party developers are required to kiss it when a game console is launched. They have to do this to show support. If this was a 360 even they would say the same. Soon, it will be all about the games.
