Take 2 confirms support for Microsoft console - "Grand Theft Auto 3" and "4x4 Evo 2" on the way
Publisher Take 2 Interactive has confirmed today that it is developing an unspecified number of games for Microsoft's Xbox console, including eagerly anticipated sequels "Grand Theft Auto 3" and "4x4 Evolution 2". The other games aren't named, but the press release does say that "several titles" are under development already. With top franchises like Duke Nukem and Hidden & Dangerous finding a home at Take 2 and promising new titles such as Caribbean dictator sim "Tropico" and mob action-adventure game "Mafia" due for release through them over the next year, not to mention a recently announced PlayStation 2 version of "4x4 Evolution", it's perhaps no surprise that Take 2 Europe's Managing Director Kelly Sumner is declaring that 2001 "will be our best year yet".
