Forums - Sony Discussion - Are Sony And Rockstar Negotiating More Exclusivity?

PlaystaionGamer on 27 September 2009

i think the next GTA will be PS3 Exclusive as Rockstar do love Playstation and (if i rember right) said something about how they wanted the game bigger ect.

Lets hope GTA5 is good, GTA4 was not

Don't expect it to be GTA!

probably Bully

Bully isn't really a "huge" franchise, though.

Everyone is missing the point. There is only the need to develop for one console which is far cheaper to do than for both. It might even be a fantastic business decision for both Sony and R*. Sony extends a user base to surpass xbox and R* sells tons of their upcoming game/s.

Sidenote: Fiduciary is a big word O.o


1) Developing is cheaper for the 360

2) You make wayyyyyy more money when the game is multiplat

 

For the 2nd part: that made no sense, why would Rockstar care so much about Sony, or ANY company for that matter- they don't work for Sony you know.

 

Yes it is cheaper, but Sony and Rockstar have always been close business partners. The only reason xbox got GTA4 was because MS threw a bunch of money at them. You make more money when it's multiplat, but development time and costs go way down when only developing for one console.

Someone else also mentioned that R* wants to keep up with the times and have one huge world on 1 disc.

It is, of course, true that Microsoft paid for the game to go multiplat. But now that they have, Rockstar have seen the benefits of GTA being a day and date multiplat, and they're not going to go back to exclusivity with GTA.

knowing how R* love to make huge playing area's for GTA it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it was to become exclusive.

"I told them GTA would be too much of a stretch considering how good the game did on the Xbox 360, to which they replied "Money isn't always everything"

wth? what else could be the reason? what else is more important than 7-8 million sales lol.

this article seems very uncredible now.

you should search for an older bonus round on GT. in the section where they pushed d jaffe on exclusivity of his own game, he more or less said that the money isnt everything, your dedicating years of your life on this 1 product and you want to make the best game you possibly can.

Rockstar wouldn't even be a company today without Grand Theft Auto's massive success on Playstation consoles (nintendo would never have allowed a game like GTA on the N64 or Cube). Maybe they decided to return the favour. Who the hell knows.
