So After Buying GTAIV on 360!

[Slamman]

I'm a PS3 owner too, but I have faith, as I did with PC release, that Rockstar are building things, as they stated, that they themselves want and play....they approach it from a healthy artistic attitude, because you can't go around pleasing other people, even if it is business, it's also art.

 

I think DLC for both machines opens new doorways to creativity AND options.

and this would make sense as well judging by the fact that rockstar have said the next franchise will be PS3 exclusive, wich is another reason i think why the DLC is not comnig to the PS3.

Erm can I have a link to that please because I have never seen or heard anything except fanboys claim it is going to be PS3 exclusive. If you really think Rockstar are going to kill off nearly 5 million customers on the Xbox 360 you are surely mistaken. I suppose it won't be coming to the PC then either which means a further 2 million customers lost.

 

There will be another GTA it will come out on the 360 and PS3 and later the PC and it has now been delayed by nearly another year because of this pain in the arse DLC.

PS3 gets exclusive rights to next Rockstar franchise

Sony appears to be placing a huge bet on Rockstar Games by securing its next franchise exclusively for the PlayStation 3. As good as this sounds, however, can the PS3 afford what Sony gave up to get the new franchise?

 

The announcement of the Sony/Rockstar agreement was made in a blog posting from Michael Shorrock, SCEA Director of 3rd Party Relations. In it, Shorrock said, “As part of our long standing relationship with Rockstar, and the incredible success for both companies with the cultural icon that is Grand Theft Auto, we’ve agreed to the PlayStation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios.”

 

Surprisingly, it appears Sony may have given up a sure thing to get a not-so-sure thing. In a recent episode of the television show Game Head, SCEA CEO and President Jack Tretton was quoted as saying the PS3 exclusive rights for Rockstar’s next great franchise was secured, “In exchange for letting them out of [the Grand Theft Auto IV] exclusive.

 

Can the next Rockstar franchise make up for losing GTA IV as a PS3 exclusive? Probably not, but having games exclusive to the PS3 is what the Sony console desperately needs right now to drive sales. So, at least some exclusives are better than none it would seem.

Subscription Based GTA "Very Doable, Very Compelling"

By Michael McWhertor, 6:40 PM on Tue Apr 22 2008, 5,140 views

Grand Theft Auto, the massively multiplayer version, seems like an inevitability. With downloadable content coming for the Xbox 360 version and a game so stuffed with data that it pushes DVD size limitations, an MMO take on the game with digitally delivered content sounds like the next logical step. Sam Houser, one of the founders of Rockstar Games, agrees, telling EGM/1UP that "a subscription-based Grand Theft Auto-type game...is very, very doable and is a very, very compelling proposition."

 

Obviously, there's a challenge in redefining MMO convention, with (literal) rat killing and pelt gathering an odd fit for a modern day cops and robbers setting.

 

But it sure sounds like the Housers are into it, with "the combination of what we're doing with multiplayer and what we're doing with the [downloadable XB360] episodes is the start of us putting our toes in this water and seeing how our audience...adapts to online."

 

Grand Theft Auto V or GTA Online, whatever it may be called, could be a late entry into the game. Other developers are already taking a stab at it, with Realtime Worlds' APB and SOE's The Agency already gunning for a modern day subscription based game, without all the wizardry and orc-ery. Can't say we're not tempted by the prospect, though.

 

 

I hope this answers a few of your questions....

AHA! You are wrong. It says Sony wants to have Rockstar's next franchise exclusive for PS3. Keywords: "next franchise". What your article post is saying that whatever new series R* makes will be exclusive; GTA is it's own franchise, so Sony will be getting some other exclusive series, but not GTA. As for the second article... didn't care enough to read it.

err that was my whole point mate but well done for picking up on it lol

 

 

wheres the

im a PS3 user and i'm NOT interseted in DLC for GTAiv what so ever due to all the upcoming game release's

 

Yeah im sorry about that first time making a poll and i only realised it could have done with that answer afterwards, I suggest just sticking to no DLC for me!

 

@slamman ive looked around the net to try and find a link or a scrap of info about what your talking about but couldnt find anything, U sure its that episode of the magazine. Plus you have to be carefull with magazines we all know how reliable they have been on the run up to GTAIV's release. For example reporting on stuff that actually isnt in the game.

[Slamman]

Actually, I am now thinking it was US Official Playstation Magazine, because I was sure they heard about the Xbox exclusive at game release time. Not sure if that's the one with Niko on the cover, but I did buy that one.

 

I am pretty sure Sam was describing the nature of the seamless content nature, so it would not be something in the normal game. I'll keep looking because I know it was not made very clear as to what is DLC, but it seemed to be indicating that.

Nah im not getting it,R* has had anoth of my money already.

 

they should of put all the stuff in the game when they released it insted of ripping people off.

 

 

f*ck R*

[Dear x Sergio]

If they're planning on making just a mission pack (no matter how big or impressive it is), they'd better put extra achievements in. Would sway more people to buy it me-thinks.

[Joey.Leone]

Im a PS3 owner and im very interested in DLC.

 

I f*cking hate all this exclusive bollocks (for either console), but money makes the world go round..
