News \ Rumor- Rockstar Games To Go Playstation 3 Exclusive

In the past, with the original grand theft auto series, were all playstation exclusive. with some other games, they were introduced on the ps2. A Rockstar games employee has suggested that the rockstar games would be developing newer games (past grand theft auto IV) games for Playstation 3.
Although it may sound unreal, it is a possibility, and then we would be seeing all of the next gen grand theft auto games playstation exclusives.

Surprising as it may be, the 360 and Wii are holding back developers with it's current tech. The 360 is slowly losing it's grip with it's technology, and the Wii is just a ****ing joke. The PS3's cell processor is 3 times as powerful as the 360's. PS3 really is the future, the irony...
Not all developers care about money, hell if they did, they'd all be branded by EA already.



So i guess all developers were always held back all the time last gen? Current tech isn't holding back developers. SO many many N64, Ps1, Ps2, GC and XBox games that were beautiful, lengthy and sold millions. What does current technology have to do with anything. If developers could make big, lengthy and wonderfully beautiful games last 2 gens, then even if the tech didn't change at all for the current gen, they'd still be at it with the same amount of creativity. Just because better consoles with better graphics are out now, doesn't make every game from the last generations crap. How can the 360 and the Wii be holding back developers if the devs had no problems with hardware in the last few generations? It makes me sick when people say the Wii is a joke when it's more powerful than anything last gen. I bet you werent complaining 4 years ago sitting down with Halo 2 or FFX or Metroid Prime. Some people i swear.... Oh and the Ps3 is nowhere near 3 times more powerful than the 360 and has a worse graphics chip dpad.gotfrag.com/

hopefully they will then we might get some games that use the full size of the disc none of this crap of 9gig capped just coz the 360 had a dvd drive only so its no point on make 2 versions of the 1 game and costing twice as much to develop for

well good on em if they do. it might make thier games in the future just that much better.

after finding out that eight days trailer from 06 has ingame footage in it and is meant to look better than killzone 2 right now, i have come to the conclusion that if games are ps3 exclusives they are visually crazy!

right now i am not very impressed by gta4 graphics although graphics have never been the standout of any of their games.

Yeah but Bungie weren't exactly an ESTABLISHED developer for the PS2 back then were they, where as Rockstar already have games out on the other two consoles, so your point there is quite useless

Maybe Sony have payed them to be exclusive, like the deal they had with rock*, where the games were relesed on the ps2 first, then onto other consoles/pc 6 months later.
Being exclusive to one system can be done, look at bungie. Halo was only on the xbox and when it came out there were hardly any xboxes, compared to ps2's.

I'm merely stating out that the 360 and Wii still have strong support, and that it would be a stupid move by Rockstar to start developing ONLY for the PS3 when they have devoted fan base on both other consoles, and that the PS3 hasn't out performed the other consoles in such a big way that it is necessary for them to only develop for the black beast

I dont think this will happen though, but im sure most of you who are aware *of those who want to be aware* that a wild west themed game from rockstar is being developed exclusively for the PS3. Sorry about the double post!!!

FOR STARTERS - The GTA Series were released (even though much after the PS2 versions) they were released on Xbox
Moving on....
Rockstar have had great success developing for the Wii and the 360 so why would they stop now? It would be pointless to close off two thirds of it's now extensive fanbase.
The 360 may have reached it's limit but right now it's still kicking the hell out of the PS3 regardless of what you fanboys want to say. I own all 3 consoles so don't start flaming me and all this crap but fact of the matter is that 360 is keeping up with PS3 in graphics department, and leaving it behind with better titles, and most titles that are cross platform out perform on the 360 version.
Minus a few exclusive that the PS3 has had, all of which have been pretty rubbish except for Heavenly Sword and Uncharted, right now the only thing it has going for it is Blu-Ray
And I wouldn't give up on the Wii just yet, while it's been off to a VERY VERY bad start in my opinion with lack of quality titles, I seriously think 2008 could be a good year for that console, although it's lifespan will most likely be over by the end of the year except for the kiddies out there

ROFL wtf are you on about dud3!? The thread is about rockstar and the possibility of it making PS3 exclusive games, this thread isnt about console wars, we get it! Your console neutral!

With a market more focused onto just one third of the systems (if you exclude desktop computers) then wouldn't this be a sure fire sign that sales would drop since they would have less buyers? This also contradicts with news about Rockstar trying to give a bit more focus for games to be developed for the Wii.
