E3 2007: Sony snubbed by Rockstar

The big MS had a lot to say about GTA IV last week, but the same cannot be said for Sony, and we did wonder why.

Well it seems now we have the reason. Sony did indeed approach Rockstar about including GTA IV footage in its press conference, but according to SCEA’s senior director of corporate communications Dave Karraker, the developer just never got back to them.

"I'll give you the real answer. They didn't send us their video", Karraker told 1UP when asked why GTA IV on PS3 was a no show. "We sent an email out to every publisher and said send us your videos that you want put in the press conference, and they never sent it." Karraker added, "Not much more you can say about that."


SCEA CEO and president Jack Tretton, also present at the interview, explained that Sony is working closely with Rockstar "on a number of initiatives" when queried whether the company is pursuing exclusive content for GTA IV on PS3. But just like Rockstar UK; a company renowned for its silence, he didn't provide further details.
