BREAKING: Next GTA PS3 Exclusive

360 Excuses

According to the November 2007 issue # 76 of the Official Xbox Magazine, Sony has secured the next Grand Theft Auto, which would be number 7 in the series, to be a true exclusive to the PlayStation 3.

Clearly Rockstar were fed up with the limitations of the 360 GPU, CPU last gen DVD media, and lack of standard HDD.

No doubt GTA Next will make GTAIV look like a Dreamcast game now that Rockstar can fully harness the power of PS3.

Welcome home GTA.

GTA 1 – 1
GTA 2 – 2
GTA 3 – 3
GTA Vice city – 4
GTA San andreas – 5
GTA 4 – 6
Sony’s exclusive GTA – 7

    1) source pleeeaase.

    2) they’re making gtaIV for the ps3 too dumbasses, way to shoot yourselves in the foot.

  3. lol. So at E3 when Sony execs said that they were getting a new IP from Rockstar that would be exclusive to the PS3(and it wasnt L.A Noir), they were lying huh? We all know GTA is not a new IP, so that means this article is BS or Sony exec’s are BS…. Really I am having trouble deciding since both options are so full of it.

  4. SOURCE!

  5. And besides, this article is the very definition of “too litle, too late” Assuming GTA4 comes out in April of 08, you’ll be lucky to see GTA5 by 2011.(and just remember, everyone said that GTA would be a Sony exclusive forever a few years ago… Now the 360 is getting exclusive GTA content. lol) The PS3rd place will be long gone by then. Im sure you Sony fan boys are glad you bought your PS3 in 06 to play a good game 5 years later… lol

  6. @mmike: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    rockstar is going to make an exclusive IP, that harnesses the full power of standard HDD, CELL and teh blu-rayz: Grand Theft Folding @Home.

    “Clearly Rockstar were fed up with the limitations of the 360 GPU, CPU last gen DVD media, and lack of standard HDD.”

    This word you use, “clearly”, I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Seriously, you really can’t just go around making these sort of claims without any kind of proof. It’s just not reasonable. Of course, look at what site I’m on…

  9. So the PS3 is getting Dreamcast graphic games with the GTAIV title which is coming to BOTH the 360 and PS3. Wow, you just dug your own grave, jumped in and filled it. Haha, SDF, you really crank me up!

  10. lol…i love SDF.

    so great at being sourceless!

  11. Let’s see…all that power going to produce photorealistic graphics of brick walls! I’ll never go back to HD-DVD again.

    Seriously, the GTA series has never been famous for its “stunning” graphics. That’s one reason it managed to survive on PS2, and actually put out on PSP (notice we never saw a “San Andreas Stories”).
    The GTA series also hasn’t really advanced since GTA3, except SA, but 4 is taking it back to the gutter of Liberty City. I think we’ve seen just about all we’re going to out of this series.

  12. I used to be depressed when GTA3 came to PS2. Later on it came to Xbox, I tried it out and it wasn’t THAT great of a game. Beside when GTA7 is going to come? I’m guessing another 3-4 years and ALOTS can happen in 3 years. PS3 COULD beat Xbox 360 on market, who knows.

    Btw the only best part about this news is the picture, I love it.

  13. For all the idiots posting SOURCE

    READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE

    According to the November 2007 issue # 76 of the Official Xbox Magazine

    THERE’S YOUR SOURCE FANBOYS HA HA HA

    I love how everyone’s known this for several months. In fact you guys ALREADY had an article about this.

    Sony bought out Rockstar a while ago, thus ensuring that all of their games after GTA IV would be exclusive to the Sony platform.

    You guys are scraping the barrel again! You’re losing your talent at humor!

  15. In the mean time All 360 owners will enjoy the “Complete” version of GTA IV with exclusive episodic content.

    Oh dear…

    No source dickface. Wrong again, you’re just like the couple of rednecks making some Battlestar galactica thingy and they got the rights from NBC to use their models.

    Plus, this is a great site for when I’m really bored and want to see some biased, fake shit. Such a humorous site guys, good job, your really entertaining me.

  17. @oceancalm
    Well fuck me, I claim that I’ve read issue 549, and since I dun have a source and I wrote it here it must be true, just like this lame article and whole site. Go back to whatever cunthole you spawned from oceancalm, fucking gay nickname too!

    GTA IV is actually GTA 6? ZOMG!

  19. That’s it, I officially declare this website the Sony Defense Force University. Also known as SDFU. Those that support the site, such as oceancalm, are hereby named graduates of SDFU.

    So, with that covered, I am honored to greet the first graduate.

    Congratulations, SDFU n00b!

  20. Thats good if the game comes out on the 360 is going to be like 10 CDs men the console just not going to have the Horsepower to handle future games go buy a $399.00 dollars PS3 today before you get the RRD or your warranty expired.

    You know PS3UP, SDF’s creators are probably even laughing at you. You’re the only one who doesn’t get the joke…

  22. GTAIII came out in 2001, rockstar then capitalised on it and made Vuce City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories. I would not be suprised if they did the same dealy with GTAIV and made it stretch on for 6 years also till “GTAV”. Shit, if it does come out in 2012 i wouldn’t be suprised if MS releases another console, all whilst PS3 is struggling to find publishers who can “Harness the power of Cell and Blu-Ray!!”
    and i haven’t seen this site take any pot-shots at Gears Of War…..that game is close to a year old and still rocks the shit!

  23. Wow, I finally had to register here JUST so I could post this (For all of you Sony fan boys out there):

    “INKED a deal with Rockstar to secure the publisher’s next franchise exclusively did Sony. “Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can truly do only on PS3, harnessing the power of Cell and Blu-ray disc, and this deal lets them do just that,” enthusiastically exclaimed Sony’s Michael Shorrock in a statement to the press. Translation: “We handed Rockstar a signed blank check because we were short-sighted enough to let Grand Theft Auto’s exclusivity get away from us. Oops!”

    -Quoted straight from Issue #76, page 106, Official Xbox Magazine. So yeah, you’re wrong, yet again.

  24. *Gasp* Another graduate of SDFU! Welcome to the growing group of alumni! Here’s your complimentary mug of SDFU, as a gift from our school to you.

  25. You guys forgot GTA London 1969 in your little rundown, n00bies.

    you know whats great about sony fanboys? they are making fun of themselves more and more these days. it almost takes all the fun out of it.

  27. Odd that no one has brought this up, but why was GTAIV pushed back to ’08 from it’s original November ’07 release date? Anyone? Oh yeah, that’s right. They we’re having trouble PORTING it to the PS3, so it was pushed back because Sony inked a deal to have it released the same day as the XBOX 360 version. That also means it was originally DEVELOPED on 360 from the get-go. Oh snap.

  28. Personally, I think Rockstar’s scraping the bottom of the barrel too. They added so much to GTA:SA, but after that, they went right back to GTA3. And as far as the missions go, they’ve never changed. Drive and Shoot. Pizza Delivery.

    “According” to Game Informer Magazine (source) “the 80 hours you spend in Liberty City are as much fun as working the night shift at Dominos, but without the tips. Luckily, there is a lot of swearing, which seems enough for the millions of unemployed 19-year-olds in pit-stained Eminem t-shirts that make up this game’s target audience.

  29. Unfortunately on the new models of PS3s coming out backwards compatibility is going to be completely nixed. Ergo you will be able to play the upcoming GTA game, but not any of the previous ones.

  30. Wonderful news. I must say that it’s not that big of a surprise, to be honest.

    And damn I LOL’d at the picutre. Have mercy! No wait. Don’t. :)

  31. sony4lyfe: Die.

    Another failure of an article. No source, no amusement, and no point.

    SDF are becoming weak and pathetic.

    SDF gives Sony fans a really, really bad name.

    First, you people buy a 360, discover that you hate it, then you buy a PS3 and find it technologically superior, then you DESTROY your 360. Why not just fucking sell it? It doesn’t help that the PS3 is already expensive enough, so instead you just make us look like selfish money wasters.

    Second, you constantly stress how the PS3 is technologically superior to the 360. NO SHIT, SHERLOCK. How many times do we have to go over this? The PS3 will always be stronger, so you need to stop writing articles about it. It just makes you look stupider.

    Third of all, you need to learn how to recognize your brand’s own successes and failures, as well as its competition’s successes and failures, especially our console’s lack of software. This place lacks sportsmanship and modesty, and is instead filled with idiocy, hatred, ignorance and bigotry.

    Look at all the shit this site gets in comments. I bet there are more Wii and 360 fanboys coming here to laugh at us than there are PS3 fanboys, and for damn good reason too. You’re embarrassing all of us.

    I feel ashamed. This site is a disgrace to all PS3 fans. You give Sony a worse name than a Bill Gates shrine fansite ever would. This shit site should be renamed Self-Destruct Force.

  33. @yamamoto114

    thank you for feeding the animals – your comment is exactly why this site exists: to goad people of all kinds into commenting and flaming one-another.

  34. wolfwood278 Says:

    Yeah this site is faker than fake, its supposed to be taken with a grain of salt. I mean in the last article they said that 400 euros was the same as 400 dollars for crap sake. if you cant see the humor in that your going to the wrong site for the wrong thing.

  35. @yamamoto

    I realize you’re going through a tough time right now. And I appriciate that your argument holds a lot more logic than this site (or many Sony sites for that matter).

    Now I am not a Sony Fan, nor a Xbot, or even a Be-wii-ver. I do not hold any allegiances to the consoles, but only to games. Sony has some awesome studios under their belt, Naughty Dog, Level 5, Sucker Punch, etc. But Sony themselves don’t care about quality in the games, just profits, and with the recent relapses, they’re really starting to show their true colors.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is:
    You don’t have to feel personally insulted when someone attacks your console. Focus on the games, and what’s really good. If that means switching consoles, so be it. As gamers, we should stick together for quality.

    The PS3 is the complete opposite of the PS2. Sony’s abandoned everything that made their consoles good. It’s very unclear how much longer they’ll stick around.

    Let it go.

  36. ok i just have to make a comment because this site has really really pissed me off with all of the shit tha they have posted. All of the videos and screenshots have been taken from a build of the game running on the 360!!! the game is designed for the 360, like every other multiplatform game. Sony fans boys dont want to admit that sony has created a platform that no one wants to spend the time to learn how to use, which is why each and every game that releases on both consoles will look better on the 360, microsoft gives them all the tools so that they can make the game quicly and effficiently as possible.

  37. if you read the actual article you would see it was more along the lines of
    “we’d better hand rockstar a blank check to make the next gta exclusive”
    or something along those lines.

  38. This site is pure genius. It trolls the playstation by praising it, and it brings only xbots. Pure genius. Whats funnier than the actual articles are the xbox fans coming here and registering just to post their mad rant.

    @valcrist

    So very true. Because this site is a joke on sony then its only natural that Xbox fans will come and comment on it. Because the site hasnt been praising the ps3 so much as making stuff up about the Xbox 360 its only normal to expect the Xbox fans to try and correct them.

    I really don’t understand if this site is some elaborate joke at the ps3′s expense or if these people are honestly serious. The article they cite states that sony has gotten the rights to Rockstar’s next franchise. That means Rockstar is working on a new franchise for the ps3 only. That’s not bad news, so why do they have to lie about it to make it sound better?

  41. Well, although this site is definately laughable, I truely think the bloggers here are serious.
    They do base their articles on some fact. But the conclusions drawn from the articles are rediculous.

    Bungie did actually leave Microsoft.
    That doesn’t mean MS is doomed; Bungie’s still making games for them, and many are exclusive.

    There has been a 400 euro PS3 announced.
    That doesn’t equal $400

    Rush Hour 3 has been released on Blu-Ray, HD-DVD planned for next year.
    This isn’t a valuable title, nor is Blu-Ray selling well anymore.

    And so forth. Also, a lot of Sony sites tend to be full of bull. Practically every Sony Press Release since E3 ’06 has been, shall we say, exaggerated. This site is just one of the herd.

  42. Lets talk about the limits of the PS3rd place now…Since this website is supposed to be about the Playstation after all… For example, let see why the PS3 version of Rock Band is so inferior to the 360, especially when it comes to online play. After being out for a year, 3rd party developers still cant figure out the PS3. lol Since we all know the Playstation online network is a joke compared to Xbox Live….

  43. Morons. Is there anything you guys won’t say to smear the 360? If Rockstar wants to make money, it’ll be multiplatform or exclusive to 360. Oh wait…you guys have no source, so you’re just full of shit as usual. Good game assholes.

  44. yeh well atleast 360 has games NOW and not in the year 2220 or whatever the plan is for sony, suck my dick sony defence force

    Yeah i bet you the exclusive GTA game for sony won’t be until Playstation 7 when they get right for once since the POS3

  46. Welcome home GTA?

    Did you ever play the first GTA? GTA is a PC game. The PS1 version was awful in comparison, GTA 2 was the same story.

    GTA 3 onwards the games have been produced first as console games then badly ported to the PC using poor console assets and fairly bad engines. Good games but they are hamstringed for being made primarily for consoles. GTA is still a pc game at heart though, the series would never have existed but for the success of the first PC version.

  47. @ afk

    Well GTA SA was prett nice on PC, since it allowed for free aim. I do hope future PC versions may be as nice. Yes the PC versions of the originals were much better, but only because the PS1 really wasn’t the greatest thing in the world to put a game on, you have to take that to account. Rockstar made alot more money on the PS2 with GTA III than GTA III made on PC, so of course since they put all of them on consoles first. Seems they experimented with GTA on XBox consoles, and i bet they finally hit their limit. Though I don’t see why 360 can’t get anymore in the future. I don’t think Sony bought Rockstar out. lol
