Wasn't there some sort of deal between Rockstar and Sony? Let GTAIV go multiplatform in exchange for a new IP? Or something along those lines?


I don't get this.  Why would Rockstar need Sony's permission to do anthing with their IP?


cause sony had a gta4 exlcusivity agreement and they exchanged it for 3 exlcusives with sony,they could be any ip's or exlcusives but sony will have control over to how good they are and qill look over the quality of it


That link CGI posted says otherwise.  It doesn't seem like there was any kind of deal that was broken.  Seems Sony wasn't willing to pay for exclusivity.  Where are you  getting your information from?

 

"SCEA veep Jack Tretton has implied that Sony passed on the opportunity to bind Grand Theft Auto exclusively to PlayStation for another generation.

"It's just a question of how deep into your pockets do you have to reach to secure [exclusivity]?" he said, speaking to Newsweek.

"Desperation breeds deep pockets. Confidence breeds the opposite. When it makes sense, you do the deal. When it doesn't, you pass."

Tretton was responding to allegations in Newsweek that Sony lost out on exclusivity for Take-Two's GTA IV and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed while Ken Kutaragi "dragged his feet" - something Tretton declined to address directly.

there are many rumours out there.you can believe anyone of them,your choice

Rumours? So that's your info?  Yet there is DIRECT quote from Tretton basically refuting what you're saying.

so he directly said they lost the GTA and AC exclsivity,no he didn't they just assumed that he implied it

speculation on his comments and spreading them are rumours

 

i already told you you can believe it if you want to,your choice

i have also read comments which said there was an exchange and i believe that

AGENT doesn't have to be GTA EN,it could be GTA NE new england, GTA Boston confirmed,

Irish american Paddy Whelan wakes up in (insert a big Boston Hospital) with one thing on his mind,revenge,yes it's personal and everyone is going to pay,everyone

there is just one problem,he has nothing left,time to visit 'old' Mick and see if he has any jobs going and a place to stay........

 

surely we'd know if GTAV was going to be exclusive,microsoft would know for one,can't see it ever happening myself



                                                                                                                                        Above & Beyond

yeah i was thinking abt new england too

but i want it to be england,it would be better to have a different culture and setting from the usual

i didn't undertsnad the later of your comments though,how would we know if its exclusive untill the announcement?

MS would know but if RS never told them anything an kept delaying it then no.
