Do other developers hate Grand Theft Auto?

We speak to Bungie, Epic, Gearbox and more to find out if GTA punches their buttons

Words: GamesRadar UK

Randy Pitchford | President | Gearbox Software

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 :)

Above: Boss of Gearbox Software (the Brothers in Arms dev), Randy Pitchford, thinks Rockstar make "interesting decisions"

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

RP: I've played all of the GTA games – even the 2D ones and the GameBoy version. I think Grand Theft Auto III deserves the most admiration – it's what transformed a great promise into a truly marketable experience.

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.

GR: Will you be buying GTA IV on day one?

RP: Already pre-ordered the safe-deposit box limited edition.
