TheGameKisser Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If EA get the gta series and make a sh*t Gta game, will it sell just because of the name? would you buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soton Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Theres plenty of other sh*t games out there that sell very well. Why not? nothing a little advertising and polishing can't fix. <edit> Would i buy a sh*t game? No. i already waist enough money and time on other things.

Emm Ell Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If EA get the gta series and make a sh*t Gta game, will it sell just because of the name? would you buy it? It would still sell as long as it had ''Grand Theft Auto'' on the cover. Although i'd love it (if EA buy T2) some crappy new game is created and hardly anybody buys it, just to send a message to them all. Although this would never happen The fact companies don't really think consumers have our own feelings on these sort of issues angers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hypotheticals! EA buys T2. EA wants to maximise profits, market exposure. EA cuts anything risqué or controversial from subsequent GTA titles. Mothers who previous didn't want kiddies playing GTA buy new games for their kids EA makes $$$, more GTA's This forum dies on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I would buy it if it was made by the same team from R* North. It would sell even if it was made by another team, but 5 times less copies and it would ruin the franchise With EAs "new ways" they would lett 100% creative freedom to Rockstar games. Or thats what they say atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the whole fun for me is reading all the info and little detail's that are in the game and seeing the slowly released pictures and this gta seems hard to beat so surely if its not as good and reviews everywhere say its sh*t and rate it low and word of mouth gets out it'll not sell well and crumble right?

Slamman Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) No, the revised 1D version of GTA under new owners I will not support (buy) If that's what you're getting at. It's stupid to invest in something over brand/name. Either it works for you, or it doesn't. The 'New Way' is a very confusing way of mentioning they plan an internal management restructure because they realized there was internal strife effecting the games development staffs Edited March 14, 2008 by Slamman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny04 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Make it very simple for you- no one would buy the game. However let me tell you this- R* would make their new GTA under a new name, or simply Take Two refuses to give the names and IP to EA. Again the publications would look something like this. "A sh*t game made by Asshole studios called GTA published by EA - 0/10 and complete bollocks" "The original development team at R* North release their new take on what was once GTA- 10/10 published by Activision Blizzard" totally made up scenario but thats what it would be like. GTA vs new GTA (we know who'd win) Yeh totally made up but R* themselves love making games, Dan and Sam and all the normal game devs at R* would not be putting up with yearly releases- they would leave- their contract expires come Feb 2009. And EA can't force them to stay(assuming EA acquires T2). So for those of you that are worried their no need to be worried. And in the eye of the media even the people that aren't as hardcore as us GTA4.net and other fansite people are- they'd still know not to buy the EA version from publications stating why they would buy the new GTA.

Sivok Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 "new ways" and 100% creative freedom? did they say this? any link to it? Pretty sure this article sums it up. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6185814.html?...atestnews;img;0 He even admits he made wrong decisions with westwood and other companies that they previously bought and demolished. That takes balls to admit in his position. "The command and conquer model, the command and direct model doesn't work," said Riccitiello. He went on to concede that EA's past post-acquisition tactics backfired badly. Bullfrog, Origin, Westwood--all no longer exist today because something broke. ... and I'll simply state that EA blew it, and to a certain degree, since I was involved, I blew it."

Jonny04 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Riccitiello won't make such a stupid move with EA he should if hes got any brains leave them to it. Another thing is GTA V essntially could be a early 2010 release or late 2009. They have the base for the next game, all they needs is a new city, new characters, etc, the framework is there. Thats another reason why Vice City made it out in 2002. Obviously its a little more work this time round with next gen but they have 200+ at R* north aswell which they didn't have for the likes of those forementioned titles. This leads me to think even if EA wasn't in control of Take Two- the latter would perhaps have GTA V* released under their command as early as late 2009/early 2010. * I use GTA V as an easy way to name the next GTA game made by R* North.

Knife Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Even though EA are dirty bastards, I don't think even they would buy the brand then mess it up. They'll lure R* into staying with T2 for more money, should they look like they plan to leave. They will let them work independently. I honestly don't think even EA would go and f*ck up GTA. If they have any brains they will make sure R* continues doing their fine work, because thats what, in the end, will make them the most money.

Altho I've said before, if R* were to leave and independently publish their own 'new' GTA franchise (under a different name of course), anything EA put out, regardless of the fact that it'll be called GTA, would suffer greatly I would think. They have to know this; you can't get this far in the business w/out at least a modicum of common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac915 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I never buy something just for the brand. That's a dumb idea. If I see something I like, I'll get it, but if it sucks, it'll stay on the shelf. Same thing with GTA. If EA did something like release GTA IV 2:Niko's Adventure, and it turned out to be the same game with new missions, they could go to hell. But like someone else said, I don't think, in the event that things end up going EA's way, they would [email protected]$$ a franchise like this.

FelipeVinhao Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 ROFL at "Niko's Adventure". I also don't buy just for title. I personally like Need For Speed, but didn't buy Pro-Street. They deleted the cops and the free-roam. Summarizing, what made the latest editions fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
