Forums - Gaming Discussion - GTA V PS3 Exclusitivity? Mass Effect 2 on PS3? Trophy rewards?

I'm sure Rockstar could make GTA5 exclusive. But it'd make them go bankrupt.

These two things should automatically prove that this is a joke.

"PS3 going to beat 360 this gen due to 10year life cycle"

10 year life cycle again? Oh boy. The PS3 can pass the 360, but not due to the 10 year life cycle.

How is this not believable? if the 360 ends it's life before the PS3 that does not mean the gen is automatically over. It means that the 360 sales will drop and the PS3 sales will rise. if they make the horrible mistake of taking their system off the market before the PS3 calls it quits this gen then customers will be fairly angry. They dont want to spend money on two systems in one gen in the same line of console when they could spend money once for one that will last through both.


"GTA V possible PS3 exclusive as Rockstar want to make it Massive (Blu Ray and Cell needed)"

Mega lol. What's the point of it being PS3 exclusive when the 360 version of GTA IV sold more than the PS3 version? Anyone should know by now PS3 + 360 > PS3/360 individually.

 

GTAIV is a prime example of the  multiplatform myth failing. GTAIV sold less then San Andreas, one that made 80% of it's sales on PS2. It is not to outrageous to geuss if the game was exclusive to PS2 the entire time then that number of sales on 360 would have been added on top of the PS2 sales numbers. And of course GTAIV sold more on 360. 360 has exclusive content which gave it the slight edge. If I had both systems then I would be inclined to buy the version that broadens the experience the most.

Even though the DL content ploy worked in 360's favor it still failed. GTAIV for 360 didnt sell more by much really and the 360 version of the game is returned at least 2 times more so then tradeded in versions for PS3. That means the PS3 gamers are more into it(brand loyalty). GStop sells games used for both systems without having to split it with game developers. This means that because the 360 version gets more in used that less people are likely to buy it new for 360 as they can get it cheaper used. That means that only about half of 360's GTAIV fanbase can enjoy the DLC at all, not even saying they all will. This shows that the content would have probably done better on PS3 in the first place.....

Not to mention that R* has promised Sony an Exclusive game this gen, not yet anounced. And some times game developers do the right thing and choose quality game oveer most profitable game(Hideo Kojima). Blu Ray would most assuredly have an advantage over DVD if used fully that the 360 simply could not replicate. Have you not noticed that GTAIV lacks alot of things that San Andreas had? This was a huge let down with fans of the series. I hypothesis that it was restricted space that led to this as it had to fit on DVD to be MP. Rockstar seems to want to get back in Sony's good graces for one reason or another, I don't pretend to know why.

You are right that his source may not be credible. Yet the idea is not as unfathomable as you might think.....

Lock this thread. This guy has only 30+ posts and shows a huge Sony bias. We all know what happened the last time a Defense force got started...

GTA would sale no matter what console its on.  They can sale 5 million o PSP for faks sake, double the next best selling game.

 I dont get why vg denys GTA seling capability (same goes for Gran Turismo), not being on a nintendo console probaly why.

nothing has even gotten out of hand yet. Why do you guys scream LOCK the second a post is deemed not in your favor? If it get obligatory and outrageous then it should be locked but not a second sooner.

Thats a good song right there. *turns on Common - Universal Mind Control*

 

On-Topic:

...Sony likely to take Level 5

I can actually see this happening.

...Gears of War 3 possibly to be on a Playstation Platform

I highly doubt that especially since Cliffy B. is a huge Xbox fan.

...GTA V possible PS3 exclusive as Rockstar want to make it Massive (Blu Ray and Cell needed)

I highly doubt this would happen, however I do see Rockstar benefitting huge by this. Not the exclusivity itself, but having both Microsoft and Sony shell out big bucks each to keep the title on their consoles. Microsoft has already showing willingness to pay for games, and Rockstar can use this to manipulate there way into more money.

 

I will say this though, a lot of those the hiphopgamer mentioned are not as far-fetched as they may seem.

I may not be able to believe all he says. But I will sit back and watch what Sony does in 09. I can't say hes wrong about anything he says. Because really, he could be getting hits from somewhere, so we just wait.

Currently, I've heard some of what he is talking about from other sites as well. So who knows, Sony may be getting ready to throw down the big guns. I really hope they pull something great in 09 :)

 

Edit: btw, if GTA V is a PS3 exclusive and Level 5 is acquired by Sony I will remember this thread :P



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

Weirdly I just listend to that Common song * turns on Shoot Me Down- Lil Wayne*

 



You know I like the Hip-Hop Gamer but I can't count the amount of times the information in his episodes has been out dated and here say.

He is cool, but he over hypes and gets excited a lot of the times over thing that are no where near confirmed or justified.
