Will the Wii U or PS Vita be a plataform for GTAV?

[ll rdny ll]

The Wii-U, yes. It's incredibly possible, seeing as how it's an HD console that will only compete with the PS3 and Xbox360. [Nintendo is really behind the curve]

 

I bet we'll see one or two games for the vita [HD gen equivalents to VCS and LCS]. But GTA V won't be a Vita title.

The Wii U is Nintendo's attempt (well from the looks of it) to get back into the hardcore gaming market (after conquering the casual game market with the Wii). They're trying to rustle third party developers left and right to get a decent line-up of multiplatform games in an effort to get back in the hardcore market. Mature games like Metro: Last and Aliens: Colonial Marines have been announced, so I'd find it very unlikely that Nintendo didn't at least try to get GTA V (even if it would be a later release, if the October release rumor is true).

 

I doubt we'll see many straight ports to the PS Vita. Most games are either new concepts or 'little brother' versions of a popular franchise (Uncharted: Golden Abyss). If we'll see any GTA on that handheld I imagine it'd be specifically designed with the platform in mind (like Chinatown Wars).

[Hvitdverg]

I wonder if it will be released at all JK

[outlaw46]

The answer is in the post - "Rumours"

 

Rockstar is extremely good with concealing information, so wherever this rumour came from, it was probably someone just thinking of a possibility.

its rumor, not rumour.

Who cares. Why would anyone want to play a dumbed-down, graphically inferior GTAV when they can have the full experience on console/PC? PS Vita is an over-priced media player with some gaming capabilities, and the last 3 consoles made by Nintendo have been pure sh*t.

I knew something like this would be coming. NO ONE in their right mind calls the N64 "sh*t", the Gamecube wasn't really given a chance, and the Wii was one of the best selling consoles of all time. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it "pure sh*t" at all. And besides, Nintendo always likes to surprise. The Wii U will be nothing like the previous consoles, except that it will play Wii games.

 

As far as the PSVita goes, have you ever played it? The graphics are amazing on it, and it doesn't feel like a portable at all. And quite frankly, all Playstation products are just media players with gaming tacked on. That is exactly what Sony markets them as. That is why they call them Home Entertainment Devices and not Game Consoles. Microsoft does that too with the Xboxs. The only company that doesn't is Nintendo. Their consoles are pure gaming.

No Nintendo's consoles have sucked since N64 because Nintendo hasn't created any successful original characters(besides pokemon) since the 1980's they are still relying on Mario,zelda,Donkey Kong,Metriod and starfox which is pathetic. (you don't see Sony still trying to push Crash Bandicoot as the face of their company)

 

All that aside I don't see it coming out on the Wii U the outcry by soccer moms about GTA Chinatown Wars is nothing compared to the Sh*t storm that we's see with a GTA on a Nintendo Console. I also don't see a big audience for a console that is mostly aimed toward people under 10 and people who barely play games. Especially when the hardcore gamers who own Wiis usually own a PS3 or 360 too.

[Jacko427]

Lol, playing HD Super Mario Bros on Wii U.

Or a new game for Wii U: Grand Theft Auto: Super Bros.

[A8flyer]

For wiiu possible n for ps vita impossible

[EverBlazin]

Probably wont be released on PSVita. They dont want it to have too many games.

[Lynx2069]

Wii U - ABSOLUTELY!

 

PS Vita- ABSOLUTELY Not.

It's really funny how you anti-Nintendo fanboys are more immature than the kids you say the consoles are for.

 

It is only the perception of people like you that make the perception of other people so clouded. Thus you end up with more people spreading that. It's a horrible loop that just gets more horrible when the cycle is continued. Leading to people not buying games, which it turn leads to developers not making money on the games, which leads to them not putting as much into the games they do make, which leads to the games sucking which leads to people not buying games... and then it continues.

 

Every generation, it restarts though. Developers give the new Nintendo hardware a chance. If for once people looked past their bias, the Nintendo hardware would be given the support it needs. Games would have better production value, and more people would buy the games. That in turn would give the developers the money they need to make better games, and more people would buy... and then THAT would continue.

 

Nintendo sticks with what works. Most companies do. The same could be said about Rockstar with GTA. The reason Sony isn't pushing Crash is because they let it fail. The only thing hurting Nintendo is third-party support, which requires the loop I wrote above. (And the soccer moms mean nothing in this argument because a game rated M is not meant for kids, so they have no real say in the matter.)

[FrankieP]

Maybe not for GTA V, but surely a future GTA developed exclusively for one of these consoles ( my bet is on the Vita ). Or they could simply port GTA IV for the Vita and it would still sell out pretty well.

[FiveVenoms]

A Wii U version is certainly possible. It would be interesting to see how Rockstar would put its controller to use, too. Vita is on the unlikely side, though.

 

@MGSFAN612: While they weren't as numerous as they are on other consoles, Wii had some violent games.

 

Mad World

No More Heroes

House of the Dead: Overkill

Manhunt

 

Just to name a few.

 

Also, Nintendo doesn't even want to be labeled as a kids only console. Nor do they try and restrict developers with what kind of content their game may contain. In 2008 EDGE magazine did an interview with Dan Houser about Chinatown Wars and he had this to say about Nintendo:

 

 

Nintendo wanted us to make GTA, and we wanted to make GTA on their platform. They didn’t want us to make a GTA for kids, and we weren’t interested in making a game we wouldn’t normally make.

Just a few eh? Have a look back at my list at http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...st&p=1061196876 to see that there are almost as many M rated games on the Wii and Gamecube as the other consoles.

 

But thank you so much for that Dan Houser quote. I had forgotten where he said that.

[outlaw46]

Assuming everyone here has either a ps3 or xbox already, I present this hypothetical situation:

 

You buy the Wii U for $250 in November. GTAV comes out a week later for $60 on xbox, ps3, and wii u all at the same time. If they promised you the Wii U would have the exact same graphics as xbox and ps3, for which system would you buy it? I would assume the screen on the controller would be your map of the world where you could place checkpoints and do all kinds of features without ever having to pause the game.

 

If this were the case, I think I would get it for Wii U.

 

If you never planned on getting the wii u then just ignore, but I can envision myself getting the wii u eventually for mario and zelda...just like most people i know all have the wii, and then they either have an xbox or a ps3

You can't deny that Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Donkey Kong, and Pokemon are aimed at kids.(I'm not saying only kids should play them I enjoy them myself I am saying kids are their target audience) Those are the games that are pushed as the face of their console along with Wii Fit which is played by the most causual of casual gamers. I am not saying that Mario, Zelda and the rest are bad games they are usually actually good but I don't see myself getting myself playing a Nintendo console as much as a PS3 or 360 when Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Donkey Kong, Pokemon and Metriod are the only games worth buying besides a couple remakes like Goldeneye. I'd just like to see some new franchises that aren't motion control gimmick games like Wii fit/Wii bowling to make a the purchase of a console worth the investment.(their handheld consoles on the other hand are still the best in the industry and are worth the investment)

 

Anyhow I just don't see GTA V being a worthwhile investment on the Wii U if the console is going to be primarily aimed at the most casual of casual gamers like the Wii was. I base this on the fact that everyone that I know who owns a Wii and isn't a casual gamer also owns a 360 or PS3 and if there is a game that is on the Wii and one of the other consoles they choose to buy that 360 or PS3 version because it is usually the better one from my experience on other forums this seems ot be true most Wii owners who own other consoles . However with the WIi U's new processing power maybe I could wrong but that raises the question as to why the GTA 3 era games weren't ported to the Gamecube(it certainly seemed as powerful as the Xbox and PS2)

The vita just isn't as strong as the PS3, it's a simple fact. I've seen it in action. If it was for Vita or Wii-U, it would be scaled down a spin-off game would be made, not GTAV. (maybe vice city nights?)

[bayz101]

I doubt they would make V for the PS Vita, since it has so little memory storage. However, I could see the Wii U being a platform since it has much more power than the XBOX 360 or the PS3.

Wii U much more powerful than the PS3 or 360????????????????????

If your speaking of graphics, your not entirely correct. I own a Vita, and it's VERY powerful. No one is expecting it to be as powerful as the PS3, because it's a handheld. However, it's got some balls. It can play PS3 games via remote play, and the graphics are identical. It could definitely play GTA V, but probably couldn't store it.

yeah the graphics are pretty good, but I was referring to the hardware in general. The main issue is the memory, you see how much memory the vitass can hold? Not very much at all, compared the the PS3. And what do you mean in your last sentence, as my friend didn't clearly explain how the game cartridge system works.

Really? Huh, I've heard numerous times that the Wii-U was just below the power level of the PS3 and X360.

[bayz101]

"Nintendo has responded to recent reports about the power of the Wii U.

Without confirming or denying anonymous developer claims that the Wii U isn't as "capable" as the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360, a

 

Nintendo spokesperson encouraged gamers to focus on gameplay over graphics.

 

"We do not focus on technology specs," Nintendo told Yahoo's Digital Trends.

 

"We understand that people like to dissect graphics and processing power, but the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers."

 

It's not as powerful as any of the current-gen consoles.

 

Edit: More information.

 

"No, it's not up to the same level as the PS3 or the 360," one developer said of Nintendo's first high definition home console. "The graphics are just not as powerful."

 

Another source stated: "Yeah, that's true. It doesn't produce graphics as well as the PS3 or the 360. There aren't as many shaders, it's not as capable. Sure, some things are better, mostly as a result of it being a more modern design. But overall the Wii U just can't quite keep up."

 

Whoever said GTA V wouldn't need to be scaled down on the Wii-U is wrong, it definitely will.

Well, I was referring to memory by "store". Now that I look, there are 32GB PsVita memory cards. I have no doubts that not only could it handle a full-fledged GTA V port, it could probably handle a download straight from the Playstation Store. Although, in my opinion, there likely won't be any FULL Grand Theft Auto games on the Vita, only "Episodes" or "Made for handheld" versions.

 

All i'm saying is, if they decided to make GTA V for the vita, it probably wouldn't need to be altered in any negative ways. The Vita can handle it. The Wii-U can't. It's much more likely to see GTA V on the Wii-U, because it's a console, but it WILL be scaled down significantly.
