GTA V on Wii U?

[Deffpony]

While I don't care if V comes to the wii u I think the system is retarded.

 

It's another gimmick based design that hardcore gamers mostly won't care about.

 

I don't want to play Mario scuba diving. I'm not gonna shell out 300 bucks for a system that most games won't even utilize the specific features that make it different.

[BlackLightning]

It's not next gen. Do you really think Rockstar is going to release a game for consoles that have no market share? There are 134 million PS3s and 360s in households right now. No way Rockstar passes that up and says, "Nah, we're going to launch the game with the 360 and PS4 so we can limit our sales to one or two million." Not happening.

[Johnny_Cash1983]

They said the Wii U was running 1080 games but GTAV is 720 so i don't think it will come to Wii.

And Nintendo have a bad past with R* North (eg, Body Harvest).

[snesfreak]

 

The WiiU is for Wii little kids. GTA is not going to be on it. And Rockstar would delay the release of the game on the WiiU, not delay the entire game. Just like they do for the PC version.

Little kids eh?

Sounds like something a little kid would say.

Real hardcore gamers own multiple systems, not just Sony or Microsoft, and play every type of game.

Also, Mario scuba diving?

knew this was going to start a console war. i think it could have a 50% chance of getting onto WII U since many other huge games are already on it( mass effect 3, AC3 etc). it shouldnt be a reason to why the platforms are out yet since every other company is so opened about wii u being one of the platforms for their upcoming games.

[snesfreak]

I do hope it comes out on Wii U, even though I likely won't have the money to buy one at launch.

But if it doesn't it's probably not because "Wii U is for babies and soccer moms" or whatever nonsense people like to say.

With the Wii it was the system's power/design that kept a lot of games (like GTAIV) from being made/ported.

That's not an issue anymore, as the Wii U is not based on 1999 tech.

There's nothing technical keeping it from being ported, they might to rework the engine for the Wii U's hardware design.

It relies more on the GPU (uses GPGPU) for things than the 360 did.

But that actually is forward thinking, as the PS4/720 will do the same.

[ccrogers15]

Although the hardware is on par to 360 and ps3, its not gonna happen. They could of had GTA 3 or VC on gamecube, would of supported it. could of had sanandreas on Wii, could of supported it. Never happened, wont happen. There never will be a main entry on a nintendo. Only the dumbed down versions like advance and chinatown wars because there not so violent. Nintendo will not authorize Rockstar to publish GTA on there platform, for obvious reasons.

[dicktionary]

lol at all of you

 

nintendo pay for the port

 

gta 5 on the wii u

 

done

 

 

its not hard to port

 

because its cheap as f*ck

Dont say things if you dont know what your talking about. Nintendo DONT WANT GTA on there consoles first of all. Second, the version wont sell well because not many gamers in that age are caring for that game, third, it dont work that way. Rockstar STILL would need to pay there developers to port it, it DOES cost money and LOTS of it.

[Hazelnot]

Very mouch doubt it, the hardware is not so good(below ps3)and as i've read, its very hard to program on the Wii platform.

 

Also, Wii only supports CDs lol

The WiiU is much more powerful that current consoles according to game devs, and it will have a Blu-Ray drive. So your argument is invalid.

Manhunt 2 was released on Wii, your argument is invalid.

The Wii-U has 2Gb of RAM a similar CPU to the 360 and a similar GPU, but the 2GB of RAM makes it a perfect candidate for large open world games.

Nintendo is pushing third party developers for the Wii-U because good third party publishers were severely lacking on the Wii.

 

I don't know if there will be a GTA V on Wii-U but i wouldn't rule it out either.

Already pointed out, but just for emphasis, i should also point out that there have been several very violent video-games on the Wii before.

and why would they not want it on their console? they have many other violent games like zombieU and assassins creed 3, batman arkham city, battlefield 4( rumoured), homefront 2, darksiders 2 and loads others. you seem to just be a hater who did not do any research at all. if all those games are in WII U why wouldn't GTA V be in it? "not many gamers in that age cares about that game" again you are talking BS, the fact that WII U was the one of the most trending topic at E3 besides watch dogs proves you wrong. unless now you are going to say everyone who watched E3 were all 6 year old kids

I think it would do well on the Wii U, being the first GTA game on a non-handheld Nintendo system.

[stevechilds]

Wii U will most likely get a late release, plus they will need to add some exclusive features for the wii/tablet controller.

 

[John The Grudge]

Won't it be mainly children and elderly people getting the WiiU though. I saw the Nintendo trailer for it and it's just games aimed at young children by the looks of things. Except for the multi platform games but people won't buy a WiiU for those. My point is that I just don't see the point in Rockstar releasing a WiiU version.

[Ash_735]

I should also point out something that went over peoples heads, the reason the Wii U is so close to the Xbox 360 is that it makes porting Xbox 360 code a breeze, if the game is running on Xbox 360, that's most of the work done, the Wii U is that closely designed that it would just take a few changes, a week's worth at most, to get the game running on the Wii U, then just factor in UI changes and change some stuff around to take advantage of the extra RAM and GPU capabilities, give it a three month berth and that's all it would take to port the game from Xbox 360 to Wii U.

Hey, people buy 360s for multiplatform, why can't other people buy WiiUs for that? They're cheaper (I think), more powerful and have an awesome controller. Plus, there are games like Zelda, Bayonetta 2 and ZombiU.

They're definitely not cheaper. What I meant was that core gamers who already own an XBox 360 or PS3 are surely unlikely to fork out for a WiiU. I just don't see what the point would be.

 

In the UK the WiiU is £250 for the basic package. I imagine if you want a game and a real controller with that you'd be looking at over £300. Just a quick look on Amazon shows that I could buy a 250GB XBox 360 for £177.99, or the 4GB version for £148.29.

Yes Wii U will get GTA V pretty sure about that. Will be even more difficult this time choosing which console to buy GTA on

[Alex Magana]

Its not impossible :|!!

So WiiU gamers will all be casuals? That's what you're saying? That could also be said about the 360 for the exact same reasons. It's mainly advertised to families, to be able to compete with the Wii. Sony doesn't care, that's why their consoles are the least selling, and PCs have TONS of casual games. ALL OF THEM.

[BillPatt]

If anything they'll bring a game like Table Tennis to the WiiU, not GTA.

[significantother]

Nintendo doesn't want GTA on their consoles? I thought they wanted Chinatown Wars for the DS?

[Ash_735]

Table Tennis is already on the Wii, and why not bring GTA? They couldn't do it before with the Wii as they just never had the power to do it justice. With the Wii U, the power exceeds that of the current gen consoles and there is no downside (such as the GameCube's 1.5GB Disc Limit), the Wii U can run any Xbox 360 game in 1080p, so since GTA V will most likely be on the PS3 and Xbox 360, there really isn't a reason why NOT to bring it on the Wii U.

 

Think of the Japanese Market, the Xbox 360 is dead there but there is a lot of interest in the Wii U, if they could push GTA V and the Wii U, they'd be making a profit on both consoles there.

 

As for people asking why, well what if someone wants the choice between 720p and Low Textures (Xbox 360/PS3) and 1080p and High Textures (Wii U) or any resolution and Extreme Textures (PC version).

LIKE, I said like a game like Table Tennis. I don't know I just feel like they are trying to aim at family games, I feel GTA is too violent.

If they were aiming at Family Gamers only why did they grab the likes of Bayonetta and Tekken? True, Mario & Zelda get shoved around like mad, but I do feel nintendo want to make sure they get some big games on their console, and they can profit on that by being a stop gap console, it'll be a while before the next Xbox and Playstation come out and even more time on that for them to take off. So for at least one year, we have a cheap console on the market capable of doing games in 1080p. Perfect for any developers looking to get more out of their current set ups as they can still design for Xbox 360 and PS3 and then turn the graphics up for the Wii U version.

[Swe78]

Nintendo would never stop GTA and say it's too violent. That is ridiculous. You might as well say that Sony and Microsoft think it's too violent.

Rockstar would if they thought the game would not sell enough. Nintendo would be very happy if they got GTA for the Wii U, and they'll probably get it.
