Forums - Gaming Discussion - GTA IV only on Xbox360?

Alacrist on 28 March 2007

Read it and Weep! TLB reader Lawl has sent me quite the conspiracy theory. I emailed him back calling him crazy as usual, and told him to I need proof. Minutes later he hit me back with something I wasn't expecting to see - the image above. Where the fuck is the PS3 graphic? If you search Rockstar Games' support database, you'll only find an Xbox 360 version of GTAIV listed, not a PS3 one as well. It's been established that Grand Theft Auto IV is coming to both PlayStation 3, and the Xbox 360, but that each will have original downloadable content over time, so why wouldn't each be listed on their support page? Has Microsoft worked its money magic yet again and stolen away another game from Sony's PS3? Well, Take Two Interactive, the publisher for the GTA series, isn't doing so well right now financially. In fact, they even postponed a financial meeting until tomorrow, where they're probably going to get a lot of shit from shareholders. That's where Lawl's theory kicks in - tomorrow is also the day that the GTAIV trailer is revealed, as well as the other half of Microsoft's big announcement - the first part of course being the not so surprising Xbox 360 Elite. Coincidence? Thanks to Lawl on Arrogantics for the rumor tip. Has Microsoft really gained GTAIV as an exclusive title? This is obviously a huge rumor, and could be written off as simply careless site updating on Rockstar's behalf, but with the big puzzle pieces still missing in tomorrow's puzzle, it's time to play the speculation game. Your thoughts? Entirely possible? Pissed? Meh? http://www.thelastboss.com/post.phtml?pk=2504 If this is true Sony is in for a long winter!

GTA is a huge title. It would really hurt Sony. I don't believe they are such arrogant and blind to let it happen. BTW I think Microsoft would spread this info before PS3 launch in Europe to spoil potential sale-boom.

Don't overrate the size of the European market or the implications, that such a move would have. It wouldn't change the first PS-3 sales, by people who are Sony freaks or people that want a BluRay player. It's current customers are not the typical gamer, who would change their decision if one more title is dropped.

Both good points, this is a crushing announcement either way (is it's true), alot people want GTA and will go to the 360 to get it, expesically since Sony has been losing so many exclusives.

wait til 2moro til we see the trailer, see if the system is shown at the end of it

As expensive as next-gen games are I doubt we see many exclusive on either side except for first party titles. Remember, there has been discussion (and some titles already coming over) from 360.

Take-Two is in financial trouble, maybe they just don't have the finances to release a 360 and a PS3 version. It could be possible that they would wait for the PS3 user base to grow until they release a PS3 version.

My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
