GamesRadar: There's no denying GTA IV is the most anticipated game of the year on 360 and PS3: what are your feelings about the game from what you've seen so far?
Randy Pitchford: I'm looking forward to it. Well, I'm not looking forward to the lack-of-sleep that's going to come with it, but I'm hopeful that the game will be fun :)

GR: How many of the other GTA games have you played and which one did you admire most?

GR: From a developer point of view how do you rate Rockstar?
RP: There are several Rockstar studios with different qualities. I like the image and the brand and I think they make interesting decisions. My views of Rockstar tend to be very positive.
