its ironic most games US get before UK for once we are priviliged

shercliffGT · 22-05-2008, 09:50 AM

well it seems nowadays racing games from outside america like an earlier release date in UK. probably the fact that majority of europeans prefer circuit sports so they dont anger the majority of there fans whereas a game like nascar will obviously be released in USA first, just seems to be the case lately.

its the same with football games, why release them first in a country that has soccer as a bad sport when there is other countries that follow it like a religion.

As an aside, it's been odd to have the two big recent nintendo releases (Wii Fit and Mario Kart) in the UK before the US.

There is now a feeling in most of the industry to strive for harmonisation of release dates. GTAIV went as fas as it's possible to go my releasing on the US day of a tuesday worldwide. now, I'm not sure that's quite as neccesary, but it's still good for gamers.

The Australian release is the same as Europe- May 30th.

RFT pls answer

shercliffGT · 22-05-2008, 06:33 PM

why dont you go on steam and check, seams the clever way. why would you want to pre order it anyway there not going to run out of stock from an online download service.

BlackRavenHU · 22-05-2008, 07:02 PM

theres no sign of grid or codemasters on steam right now. anyway its pretty obvious why i want to pre order it if you think a bit. lets not write down the obvious :P
