| madskillz said: leo-j, you do realize GTA 3 was originally bound for the Xbox but MS balked? MS could make the next GTA a timed exclusive. Realistically, the install base for GTA will still favor the 360. By beating the 360 like 30-35K a week, it won't be well into 2009, if not 2010 before it can even come close. |
Yes because the PS3 is never going to get passed 30k over the 360 a week.. because MGS4 didnt make it outsell the 360 by nearly 200k in one week.
By 2009 the PS3 install base should be very close if not passed the XBOX 360's, and GTA is popular on both consoles. GTA V would be a much better game than GTA 4, better visuals/content/bigger environments etc..
Rockstar wont make another inferior GTA, that you can count on.

Rockstar, like any other company, want $$$. Even if ps3 miraculously overtook the 360 next month, there would still be a 360 version even if it has dumbed down features. Even when the ps2 was reigning supreme, GTA still came to the xbox because those extra copies are worth much more than the port cost.

Yes thats true, but rockstar wants to create a bigger game, they released the statement and if microsoft doesnt use something like blu-ray on the 360 they wont get the next GTA no matter what, also those GTA fans would just buy a ps3
|
Are you sure rockstar would threaten M$? I'm sure they want lower royalty fees. Also, M$ paid them $50 mil for DLC. Even, Sony won't do this especially not right now. Rockstar loves the M$ funds. They help Take-Two pay lawyers to fend off EA's acquisition. Its also rumored that the 360 may see its successor in 2010. That would definitely use blu-ray or "downloads" like some xbots claim. The next GTA may release on the next-box and ps3.

I think it would be easier on everyone if we had some links, so I'll present what I think leo-j is talking about:
""On PS3 you've got a guarantee that every machine is going to have a hard-drive and, with Blu-ray, you've got plenty of storage, whereas on Xbox 360 there's no guarantee of a hard-drive and you're working with the DVD format. Does that create limitations?" His answer? "Yep.""

Of course, there would be the whole thing about optimized to make it an overall better game, but even so, I doubt it would happen that the next GTA will be an exclusive to one console.
On topic:
I've never been a big GTA fan, but I'd love to see it move to another big city, something that isn't quite so familiar. I think Tokyo could be a great place to have some fun!
