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

GTA will never go on the Wii; it goes against one of its selling points (Children friendly gaming). GTA is everything that is an over protiective mother's worst nightmare: Violence, Sex, Drugs and Crime. Even if they wanted to water down the game for a Wii version Nintendo would have a hard decision on their hands.

Yeah, that's why No More Heroes wasn't released on the Wii, why Nintendo didn't show Red Steel during E3 06, why Godfather Wii Edition wasn't allowed to have a control feature where you'd choke someone by literally micking that action with the Wiimote and nunchuck, and probably why they aren't making Disaster: Day of Crisis. Those violent, non children friendly games are definitely not what Nintendo wants. Oh wait.

But to expand on what I said, it's more that GTA4 wasn't made for the Wii, so porting it wouldn't work. They need to design the game to cater to what the Wii does best, and that's it's controls. Godfather Wii almost seemed to be made for Wii controls. GTA4 may not have these types of game elements that would work so well on the Wii, for instance, choking someone buy shaking the controllers in front of you like you were literally strangling someone. I would say if they were to make a GTA game, they should make a semi-spin off type of game. Since the stories of the series aren't completely tied together (though some characters appear in later games), you could do a side story pretty easily.

Simply porting GTA4 to the Wii? No.

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

 

Man, I cant count the number of times I picked up a hooker in Day of Disaster, watched her give me head and then blew her brains out all over my windshield and took my money back when she was done, I mean seriously this game is obviously at the same level of Mature rated content that GTA IV is.

Dont even get me started with all the crazy mature stuff I do in No More Heros!

Oh wait, all it has is some strange repressed Japanese sexual angst and overly cartoony blood.

OT: No, they wont. When was the last time a GTA game was on a Nintendo console? (Not the GBA ports of the original two, and Grand Theft Auto Advanced which were not the same type of game that GTA has become)

I win.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

WTF? You again? Your other account "pollops3" has been permabanned yesterday. Do you understand that permabanned means you can't actually post anymore, troll?

@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...

Well then, if you say that HD console owners will be jealous of Wii exclusive games, I'm just rebutting with the simple fact that the Wii misses out on plenty of games too. And I'm not talking about GTA4, I'm talking about games like Beyond Good and Evil 2 or Resident Evil 5. I agree, if I only had a Wii I'd be very angry for not getting these games.

SC: Yes, it was a bit of a quick comment. Of course HD fans will be jealous of games that come to be Wii exclusively. A lot of this has to do with the fact that HD fans are realizing that they won't get every good game.

I Perdict: The problem with GTA sales falls down to these four points:

1. The HD consoles don't have amazing sales like the PS2 did.

2. GTA4 didn't launch during the holiday season.

3. The HD consoles won't have high, long term sales that contribute to the game's sales like the PS2 had.

4. There are fewer casual gamers on the HD consoles who will pick up GTA4 far from launch. That said, combined, GTA4 could and most likely will outsell all of the GTA games except San Andreas.

@I perdict: lol? Read his post, I have been banned for trolling already, and there were similar statements. Calling out someone isn't an insult. If you check my OP you would know that there were some posters before me whom I directed my post to. Montana had no need to make fun of Wii owners like that.

 

 uh... I dont see anywhere in his post where he made fun of wii owners. I see in his post saying Wii owners wont be playing games that ps360 owners get... and thats true. Its hardly an insult. But calling someone a troll is meant to be insulting and belittle the person.



GTAIV-story-expansion of a ported GTAIII engine would be nice.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

GTA4 shouldn't go to the Wii.

What the wii needs is a GTA sidestory, there were many characters in GTA4 that could have interesting pre-niko backstories.



i think they should make a ground up for wii

Nope.The wii is for little kids,casuals and pre-teen girls./thread

I'm going to assume that was sarcasm since that would be the things people in the thread would find the most offensive. If not, just admit to me that it wasn't and I may or may not have a good/bad response.

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.

 

 

Wait, why do they have a right to complain? No one made them buy the console haha. You get what you get, and don't follow this up with a well you wouldn't be saying that if it was PS360 not getting games because we already knew they'd have enormous 3rd party support. The Wii owners don't have a constitutional right to get games, whether they think they deserve them or not.

We've already had this argument before. If you want to know why find the other thread we discussed this in.

 



@Montana: I did have a point, look at all the trolls that came all of a sudden. Even permabanned members with alt accounts, viral marketers and first time posters.

I didn't just say that because I wanted to, but because it's obvious that Wii haters are around everywhere. Someone can only hate the Wii because he's jealous or insecure about his console.
