I don't know how little GTA fits with the Wiis base. I mean, the Wii one is the closest one to the Ps2 one.

 Also, what is he comparing?

A game that sold 7M & 4M last gen

The best selling franchise last gen

Also, the Wii wouldn't need to be even close to as largely scaled, and could easily have less than 1/10th of the budget (GTA IV = 100M, SMG was 15M, they're not going to make it costier than SMG)

 

I'd still say that GTA should stay at Ps3/X360 though, as its sales will probably be at least 2x the size over a Wii version.

But heck, why don't they port GTA:SA/VC on 1 disc over to Wii? That would cash in a fair amount...

Oh what the hell, Take2 is probably earning heaps on the Wii already.

 

Not enough to post profits...

 

They're turning profit on the Wii - that's for sure.

Sure, they might have lost money on

Go Diego Go! Safari Rescue (250K sold)

Dora Saves the Snow Princess (140K and selling)

The Bigs (320K)

Table Tennis (170K)

 

No, wait, they earned heaps on that. My mistake :P

 

They are also definitely earning money on the 2nd best selling 3rd party game on Wii...

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Yeah I think if the one on ds sells well the possibility is there. Rockstar seems to have a good relationship with nintendo , and I think the chances are high.

I think it;ll either be a GTA spinoff , or a watered down version of GTA 4. I would probably be interested in either.

I do think the DS version will sell well. I could see 1 million LTD.



Support good third party games on wii. Buy games like house of the dead overkill, de blob, madworld, the conduit and boom blox.

BTW I think the wii;s IR would be perfect for shooting in GTA.

Also could you imagine 1:1 controls using WM+. Swinging a baseball bat with perfect motion. That is why GTA would be worth bringing to wii.

If I remember right Manhunt 2 was on there, so why not a GTA game?

Only read this if your not going to report me for trolling:

 

Not a chance. Rockstar wants to make the GTA5 bigger and better than GTA4, they don't want to make a dumbed down version with worse graphics and gameplay just for so the Wii can play it. End of story.



@ coolest guy ever - that totally explains why the first ones are (majorly) PS2 (timed) exclusive. They don't care about money at all



Possible? Sure. They already ported the engine behind GTA4. But an actual GTA game on a Nintendo console will never happen. It would be too damaging to the Edgy And Rebellious image that Rockstar cultivates among its fanbase if a GTA game were ever released on a console with a "family-friendly" reputation. They can afford to ignore Nintendo's identity in the handheld market, because everyone else ignores it too, but they can't do that with the console.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Well maybe not GTA 5 since that would be a graphical step back that many would not understand but since possible GTA 5 game is years away, i would not be suprised if we get a GTA Wii game with some cool wii mote action ,pretty graphics (not HD level , but still they would be able to pull something good off) and more features then GTA IV (which lacked in this area a lot). We got GTA Chinatown Wars which will sell Well (it's GTA after all and its on the DS) and i think another step is GTA Wii, especially people like Reggie said they would welcome it.

 

edit: people claiming that Wii couldnt handle good gameplay of GTA? Well PS2 was able to do it so Wii can do better then that.



Well if they can make one for the soooo "hardcore" DS why the hell not on the Wii??



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)
