Madanial on 07 August 2008

Since FFXIII go multi ,everything's possible now. :)

But instead of port ,i think R* better create new open-end world for Wii. X3

very doubtful given the wiis family,kid friendly audience.and yes it would create controversy.something rockstar doesnt need anymore of.

Manhunt 2 says hi!

There can be Mature games on the Wii, just look at MadWorld. As long as there's some humor and not just free violence, I guess it can be swallowed by the public.

 

manhunt 2 also kinda bombed. which kinda supports the family audience thing.

But the point is that it still appeared on the console anyway. Are you trying to say Rockstar hates money? o_o

 



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Didn't it also mostly bomb on PS2 and PSP as well? It was also delayed a lot and got heavily censored. And personally I thought the first one was better. =P

I think is possible, nobody really expected Chinatown Wars so i Wii version sounds logical.

Don't care.

Didn't care when the 360/PS3 got GTAIV.

Didn't care when the DS got GTA whateversville.

Won't care about this.

THEN WHY DO YOU BOTHER POSTING??? NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY VALUABLE INPUT!!!

And I apologize for the use of capitals.

Anyways, I think Rockstar will watch the performance of GTA on the DS in order to gauge how successful it would be on the Wii. So far, there is no evidence that a Grand Theft Auto would do well on the Wii, but there hasn't been a heavily advertised Sandbox game on the Wii yet (except for Manhunt 2, but that didn't do well on any platform). GTA was previously on the Gameboy and PERHAPS the Gameboy Advance, but they were so unheard of that I can't imagine they sold much. With more advertising and on a more popular system, Chinatown Wars has a chance to sell well and could pave the way for the GTA series on Nintendo platforms.

On the other hand, I just don't see the GTA series selling well on the Wii or DS. Maybe they could crack a million with heavy advertisement, but the profits would be small.

Then don't post in this topic.

No one cares that you don't care!

 

I think a GTA Wii is definitely possible. I remember seeing an interview where someone from Rockstar said they were "intrigued" by the Wii controls in relation to a GTA. So at least they are thinking about it, if nothing else.

 

For me, GTA DS was more surprising than a (would be) GTA Wii.



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85

What team is even working on the DS GTA game, The main R* team i would imagine is working on the PC port and the DLC packs for the 360. Then they will be working extensively on the next GTA game for the 360/PS3. I don't really see a lot of room to make a wii game when they have the best selling franchise for the other consoles. They have made the engine and it will be pretty easy to make the next GTA game.

They have nothing so far on the wii, and it would take extensive man power and money to make a decent engine and a good GTA game on the wii.
