As long as it's from the same places. It seems like we're in a spot where anything said is considered because there are all these unknowns and rumors floating around.

I don't doubt that GTAV could be on the system, just not as an exclusive in any capacity. Hell, I might end up picking up GTAV for the Wii2! (a very, very big might for both things mentioned).

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #301 on:** April 18, 2011, 09:44:38 PM »

I haven't played a GTA since San Andreas (enjoyed it for the most part), but they aren't really the types of games I buy. But honestly, if it does indeed come for the Wii2, I'd only consider buying it if it uses the new controller in a cool way. I can absolutely see the tablet screen being very hand to use for GPS/smartphone/tablet interfaces used in the game. If that is indeed the case, that sounds pretty awesome.

Rockstar would be retatded to make GTA V exclusive, especially to a launch console where the max amount of consoles they're going to sell to would be 1-1.5million units max. Meanwhile they'd sell that amount minimum on each of PS3 & 360.

Era of exclusives is over.

dude, flailing around with a wand is a gimmick, shifting things like inventory, maps, weapon selection to a secondary screen to make it more convenient and accessible for the player isn't - it's something the hardest core PC players have been doing (on a larger scale with secondary monitors) for years

it's not a "game changer" or a "revolution" or whatever cringe-inducing buzz words or catch phrases fanboys like to throw around, it's just a useful addition to existing gameplay that actually (for once) makes a lot of sense

this. i am totally 101% behind a utility touchscreen on the controller. it's win for the hardcores, and win for the casuals

I should edit in my post that the sites that list these rumors never once say that GTAV would be exclusive. It just means that Nintendo is trying to court Rockstar to develop for their new system, no exclusives mentioned. But you have to admit, if Nintendo is getting the jump on the other two in regards to hardware release, having it as a launch title would be pretty cool.

[shrugs] This still sounds like Nintendo jumping the gun and releasing a Dreamcast-eaque mid-generation system.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #306 on:** April 18, 2011, 09:57:40 PM »

But then if it's not exclusive how much of a win is it? Now they get the same game as everyone else? Who is buying a new Nintendo platform to play GTA?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #307 on:** April 18, 2011, 09:59:59 PM »

Again, it depends on this system's actual power and what this new controller offers. If it is indeed a significant upgrade to the 360, that right there is a theoretical reason to get it.

Of course it won't be an exclusive (although I bet they make a deal for some exclusive DLC). But getting Rockstar to deliver their big 2012 title at launch serves a number of purposes:

- sends a signal to other third party developers/publishers that they're serious about pushing games other than epileptic flailathons on the console

- shows "core" gamers that their brand new system won't just be a rack for grandma's pantaloons in six months

- provides a bit of a showcase for their new controller screen ("Your cousin will whine about taking him bowling RIGHT ON THE CONTROLLER")

It's all win for them, with no drawbacks. GTAV, a few more PS3/360 portalongs, plus whatever twee games they'll have ready, best of both worlds for them.

Too bad about the online, though - you just know it'll be worse than PSN circa PS3 launch.

The online for goldeneye was really well done from what I could tell – felt a lot like cod online. But really though, I never play games online anyway. It's just something that they SHOULD be doing well, but they aren't.

Quote

According to an Ubisoft employee -who wished to stay anonymous-, the publisher pushes all their development teams to cash in with a bunch of 360 ports to match the march 2012 launch.

Nintendo is using market leader(aka 360) for their benefit,ports will be cheap to make(little moneyhatting needed),high profit possible.Console launches are usually starved(look at 3DS) and GTA 5 as a launch game is big,some people will definitely buy it.Game will sell like crazy on current gen,Nintendo is basically saying"hey,make a game for us too".

Current gen consoles will pay for development,bring huge profit and Nintendo will get huge "Hollywood style" game.

you know everytime there is a rumor about GTA on a nintendo console i find it incredibly hilarious because nobody wants to play GTA on a nintendo console (otherwise you would have bought a ps3/360 to begin with) the only reason people want that to happen is to remove the stigma of "nintendo hates 3rd party developer/nintendo console are for kiddies" that's it,that's the only reason people want GTA to happen on a nintendo console

maxy · « **Reply #334 on:** April 19, 2011, 06:33:58 AM »

This is now new Nintendo magus,they want to recapture the hardcore.

I agree that they will have huge problems in removing "Nintendo is for kiddies mantra".

No chance for me in getting Nintendo console for GTA,unless Nintendo has it as exclusive or every other platform sucks badly.

I kinda doubt this will work. There will still be little incentive for people to buy third party ports on the Wii2. The online infrastructure will probably be some bullshit just watch, and the stigma of the Nintendo name will carry on. I see this selling well during the holidays before falling to third place before the PS3, which seems to be soaring lately.

The only plus would be Retro getting to do something as epic as they're capable of doing. Perhaps an FPS, or an adventure game. But most likely the main "mature" launch game outside of GTA will be Conduit 3 lol
