I'm not going to deny that plays a part but two things:

1) I believe a huge part of GTAV's appeal is goofing off in its huge open world, like most past GTA games, just on a bigger and better scale.  That would still be intact and now portable.

2) Seeing as how the Switch is getting an MMO, I don't see how GTA Online would be impossible. 

And the reputation of GTA IV has decayed substantially since its launch.  A lort of that would do poorly if not be DoA.

It is dumb. Gta 5 was already enhanced for Xbone/ps4, so why not that instead? People will be happy and will sell many times more than la. Noire. It's a win-win. Heck, have LA Noire in addition to that. But the fact that they are doing la.Noire instead of gta 5 drives me nuts.

Well, considering that every 3rd party must have a game to "test the waters" on the Switch, I wouldn't be surprised if this one is T2's (even if they already have 2K17 NBA). Plus, porting this must be infinitely easier and cheaper than GTA V.

It's been a while but I don't recall CTW having super high Hollywood style production values... Money not big enough for R* I suppose.

I would play this.

Bowser's got one hell of a poker face.

will preorder asap

This game always goes on sale on psn for $5. I bought it and played it for an hour or 2 and gave up. It was so boring

Any comparison pics? I have the original on PS3, haven't tried it yet, so if the PS4 version is a lot better I guess I should just go with that.
