Forums - Gaming Discussion - Do you think R* should make a Wii version of GTAIV?

Pfft 9.27 million units in less then 2 months. That is so terrible that they shouldn't even bother making another GTA

This thread will bring a lot of PS3/360 trolls, who will say Wii is only for babies or soccer moms. To all of them: stop whining and get used to it, Wii will see a lot of core games soon, games that you will be secretly praying for to come to your console.

I don't like the franchise personally, in fact I hate it. I wouldn't want a GTA4 on the Wii but I know a lot of people would. It would be nice, but not for me. R* would not make enough money either way. If anything a GTA5, but not GTA4.

They'll be so busy playing all the quality games that Wii owners don't get that I don't think they'll even mind.

 

Actually alot will anyway. Especially if a game like kh or some other good series on the ps2. You already see them complaining about monster hunter 3 or sometimes even fatal frame. Not as much as wii fans complaing for games, but wii fans have somewhat of a right to complain with all of the support they are getting.

@Montana: Stop trolling: You are a mod, and you should know better than the rest of us. Flamebating is irresponsable from a mod, please be more civilized.

And you think Wii owners mind about GTA4, please...

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Don't forget that Rockstar/Take Two released Manhunt 2 and Bully: Scholarship edition on the Wii, which were both miserable flops. Now Manhunt 2 was a really bad game and it didn't sell well on any of the platforms, but Bully was a pretty good game and it sold well on the 360 despite both consoles having comparable userbases. And let's not forget Table Tennis, which sold about 100k on the Wii. Now it could be undertracked or missing data, but that's still a heck of a lot less than the 360 version.

Nintendo fans have never had a GTA game on their platforms, and many object to it now as the treacherous captain of HD gaming and especially the last generation. GTA4 has an entire physics system and environment build around an engine that I don't even think the Wii can use. If it can, can the Wii honestly handle the environments in the game? It's pretty big, and it still has lots of freezing and framerate drops. And yes, it could get a giant graphical downgrade, but do you really want that?

It isn't really about what I want. It's about what's best for the GTA franchise and Take Two. I really don't think the Wii userbase give a crap about graphics, not to the extent PS3/360 fans do anyway, and will be grateful to another AAA franchise hitting their platform.

As for GTA never being on a Nintendo platform, I don't think it matters a whole lot. The Wii is clearly expanding the Nintendo fanbase far beyond the N64/GC platforms did. GTA must hit a Nintendo platform sooner or later, it's just inevitable.

Now a game like GTA4 sure wouldn't look too good for the family friendly console now would it?

I hate this argument, it's bs. Fatal Frame 4, Resident Evil 4 etc... all say HELLO..

Wake Up PS3/360 fans. The time for that argument has been and gone.

 

 

Building a GTA game from the ground up for the Wii, to utilitize the controls to their max, yes. That would work.

That will never happen though. It would be awesome, yes, but is 99.9% totally out of the question as far as R* are concerned.

 

 

dont forget about no more heroes

Uh... 9.27 million without any holiday sales... didn't VC only have 15 mil... I bet GTA4 will be past that this time next year.

VC and SA didnt sell 18 million over night. Give GTA4 a chance before saying it didnt sell those numbers... I'd say at least two years but if you dont want to wait that long at least after Japans launch and christmas sales die down (So through Jan 09)

And PC launch...

Oh yeah, you're the Ubisoft viral marketer. How ya doing?

@Lightning: GTA was on a Nintendo platform, there was a game released for the Gameboy. But yes, the Wii userbase is expanding beyond what we've seen on the previous platforms. The problem being that Sandbox efforts so far on the Wii have been met with disappointing sales despite their quality. Of course, one hasn't been released of recent that I know of, so we can't tell.
