Wasn't this Rock* PS3 exclusive thing down to LA Noire?

Sony pumped a LOT of money into LA Noire, fully funding it I think? But after a while of pretty much nothing coming from the game they did a deal for a new exclusive game in exchange for the seemingly dead LA Noire. This game turned out to be Agent, and thus LA Noire went Multiplat.

Correct me if I'm wrong. It has nothing to do with GTA4. GTA4 was made Multiplat simply because of how the PS3 was doing compared to the 360 in it's early years.

Please. If you can give me links to prove it was to do with GTA4, feel free.


yes it was at first but this wasn't even in the gta exclusivity trade off deal,LA noire was in development in like 2004 or 2005

sony pumped alot of money but were dissapointed and withdrew.

and you are a bit wrong

GTA4 had an exclusivity deal of PS3 like all other GTA games in the past on PS2.we don't know timed or fully exclusive but when PS3 was released at a high priced and sales were low. the deal was done of exchanging.

the links go way back.i have banged my head over and over again from some time now but the whole deal exchange is old now and links don't come that easy

LOL...it would take ALOT of money from Sony to get GTA as a timed exclusive...especially given the bar set by M$.  I'd have to say maybe $150 to $200 million to make it worthwile ot Take Two...so no, probably not. 


why would sony have to pay money????????????????????

 

the bar set by MS was because GTA4 was exlcusive to PS3 and MS wanted to make it multi-plat

SONY released GTA4 exlcusivity and they could have easily exchanged it for 360 and PS3 becoming cheap will get GTA5 big sales on PS3 too

So you think they could make up the sales they would lose on taking GTA exclusive to PS3...can I have some of what you are smoking?

i never said they could make up sales,just that the sales will be pretty damn good

userbase at GTA4's launch

ps3 userbase - 11.5m

360 userbase - 17.9

 

it could very well cover it as PS3 itself is much more than the orginal userbase of both combined.

 

and it will be over 50m next fall,thats pretty good total and PS3 will most likely be $199 and that is pretty cheap and super mass marketable price which should more than be enough to make a big userbase to sell GTA NEXT on
