Wii be gettin' Rockstar support yo!

Right here

Oops! Wrong one. Hey, it' s a simple mistake! It could' ve happened to anyone! Besides, I find this news quite interesting.

Fine, here' s what you all came here for, spoil sports:

Wii might get Rockstar support.

Sounds... very... interesting...(I still think the first link was great)

Yes, I know it technically says Take-Two, but then it states:

Conspicuously absent from Take-Two' s announced Wii support were games from its Rockstar Games branch, which makes the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto series. Rockstar recently released another title that many hoped would eventually come to Wii: Table Tennis.

I, personally, think playing Table Tennis using the Wiimote sounds like a fantstic idea. I doubt Nintendo will allow a Grand Theft Auto Wii, but they had Conker' s Bad Fur Day so... you never know. I can actually see potential for a sex minigame, though. We just need some kind of strap-on accessory that we can put around our waist.

Yes, the ultimate gamer nerds dream. Compensating non-existing sex life with videogame sex. Does it get anymore tragic than that?

Calm down. That was just a joke. Still, don' t you think it would be pretty funny to watch somebody actually doing that?

No. It would feel veeeeeery awkward to use a Wii-mote after such a display.

Could happen.

It' d give us more of an idea why they named it ' Wii' anyway. All they need to do now is copyright ' Virtual Wii' and they' d be sorted.

...

Sorry. I' ll get meh coat.

LOL!

" Wii sounds like ' we' , which emphasises this console for everyone... Wii has a distinctive ' ii' spelling that symbolises both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play."

Suuure.


Anywhoooo, any comments about the Take-Two support then(or the type of games they may offer)? GTA' s melee weapons could work rather well also, as the player simply has to swing the controller for character to do the same with the weapons.

Mario Table Tennis
Grand Theft Mario ;)

Without official confirmation of Rockstar support it' s a bit of a mediocre announcement (IMO).

I' ve no doubt Wii will be getting plenty of tennis and baseball games - plus the annual ice hockey and basketball games are a given - so it' s all pretty underwhelming (unless they can come up with something truly innovative).

Always preferred the Sega Sports titles myself, anyway.

Shame if there' s no GTA - I was hoping to batter a virtual granny to death and rob her pension with the Wii remote - doubt Nintendo would ever let that happen though!!

Nintendo would not let a game like GTA on their console. Even if it pushed up sales. They have an image to keep up with the family, they market it as a family console and this means Parents can trust little Timmy playing it without worrying what he is playing.


Still bullcrap though, Parents need to blame their lack of parental skills instead of tv and video games.

It certainly didnt screw us up! *ahem

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Who said GTA wasn' t as wholesome as other M-rated GC titles? Because as we all know, blowing up zombies and cultists in RE4 is just like having sex with a hooker (wow, I almost typed " sox wtih a hoker" ), shooting her point blank in the head, taking all her money, and running over her with your motorcycle... Right???

I mean, yeah, there' s that whole innocent civilian thing, but that' s a little overplayed anyways.

I' m personally glad that Nintendo' s stayed away from GTA as long as they have. I' ve never been a fan of GTA, not because of some holy-roller riteousness thing, (I' ve got no problem with gore or language in games, I mean, i could take it or leave it.) but because they' ve taken plenty of meh, qualities from different titles, muddy looking environments, poor character models, lacking storyline, unimpressive FMV' s threw in some rap, and started more scandal' s than the Clinton administration.
There' s just so many more games with the same attributes, and the same gameplay, that do it better.

" There' s just so many more games with the same attributes, and the same gameplay, that do it better. "

Eddie, please, please tell me you' re kidding? There' s many an imitator, but the GTA series can be completely flattered because I haven' t seen one which even comes close to having the depth, a good 1 player story - esp. vice city, and well, mindless violence of GTA 3 onwards. I know they rippe doff Scarface, but then what better movie is there to rip off? There' s also plenty of tributes to the other movies which " inspired" the games. And those radio stations were something else.

while there are better examples of racing games [burnout] shooting games [Halo] fighting games [Super punch out] its the way that GTA combines all of these withgout being really cheap and ultimately crap is what makes it so good, sure, the racing isnt GT, but it ant half bad either.

I' ve heard a lot of people say that True Crime was everything GTA was, and better. I don' t know whether it is or not as I haven' t played GTA very much, but True Crime is on Gamecube.

well they allowed GTA on the gameboy... their most ' kiddy' console...

Maybe Nintendo wanted GTA on the Gamecube but then Sony paid more? Microsoft payed a lot to get the GTA games slightly after Sony but they' ve got more money than Nintendo does.

It' d have never been worth it for Nintendo to bid stupid amounts for GTA, and even if they had have done, I doubt Rockstar would have been very happy that they were developing a game that would have only reached a small percentage of the gamers they usually expected to grab.

GameCube was never going to pull in the 30-something boozer who likes to get pissed at a bar, go home, beat his wife around a bit then run over police on a video game - For one thing it' s purple. However the PS2 does reach this demographic. It' s cool (blergh) and now considered in modern society to be an essential part of living.

Nintendo - as they fully well know - are not an essential part of living in the west. They struggle to get crappy 3rd party games ported that spring up all the time on PS2 and XBox. Even if GTA were to appear, no one would really care as they' d already been assigned the ' other, other choice' image.

What Microsoft are doing now, however, is to try and steal that 30-something audience away from Sony, and their best way to do it is to get ahold of their prized asset - the GTA games.
As Microsoft haven' t coloured their console purple and made it look like a pencil holder, but instead given it a mainstream - if unoriginal - name and designed it to look like it could invade Tibet, it has people widening their eyes and saying, " Hey, that' s pretty neat. I' ve been hearing a lot about Halo (I get to kill things) and it has GTA... Count me in." They still have their PlayStation, but who' s to say by the next generation that they won' t loose all interest in it and become hardened Microsoft fans.

Anyway, to sum it up in a cliched phrase; Nintendo are too kiddy for GTA.

Mmmm have you played Resident Evil 4? It makes GTA look like Pacman. GTA isnt an adult game, its actually more suited for the Nintendo demographic, if you choose to describe them as childish, because they are really not Childish. GTA is a crappy series, id play Mario sunshine anyday over that!

It was a joke.

Nintendo are only ' kiddy' because people brand them that way.
I was using an overused, cliched phrase to end a complicated subject in a typically two dimensional, predictable way.

Nintendo are as adult as they want to be. However, buying the exclusive rights to Resi Evil (for a while anyway) was a business move that (unlike GTA) made financial sense to them. Their main audience is Japan. Japan like Resi Evil. Japan aren' t as fussed about GTA. They still have a slight foothold in the Japanese market. It' s a good risk to take.

Amen...

Can' t blame them for that ...

GTA, it' s that one thing you point out when you talk about " mainstream" being something wrong,stupid and pointless.

Distasteful as it is, the game tries so hard to be controversial and it really isnt! it isnt doing anything that hasnt been done before, except the free roaming space, but if it included some death sequences from the SOF series, then it would be a controversial game, hell i mght even find it fun!

I think the GTA games are kind of entertaining but I don' t see them as serious games. They' re more like comical games. I don' t get adrenalin kicks when I play GTA. But I do laugh a lot.

What is SOF, Vx?

soldiers of fortune - FPP shooter with a lot of gore.

Or Soldier (no ' s' ) to be more precise.

The first game was absolutely awesome and i think the knife and shotgun were my favourite weapons . It allowed to to target specific limbs and blow heads, legs and arms off.

The sequel sucked in my opinion. It has some cool weather and shadow effects and some nice weapons, but the game itself was full of bugs and glitches and the hitboxes were well off. It continued and i guess improved on the limb specific damage on enemy targets but often you' d shoot and your aim would be spot on but they' d still not take any damage.

I don' t want a 3rd game.

Why does everyone put down the GTA series, so readily? I mean, sure, it wasn' t MY bag, but I DID play it, and it wasn' t bad. Yeah, the graphics were crap, but everybody on this website is always, " graphics don' t matter! It' s all about gameplay!" , so why is GTA any different? Because of it' s popularity?

It' s funny, but hardcore video gamers (read " Kikizo forum members" ) always say, " oh this game is so underrated. It' s such a great little game that doesn' t get the attention it deserves." but when a game is successful everyone wants to come down on it (GTA, Halo 2, etc.). It' s like the success of the game regulates your opinion! Just play games!

And I must say, if you haven' t played the game, then DON' T comment on it! I hate when people do that!

GTA: San Andreas has crap graphics, mediocre gameplay, good storyline, great voice acting, and awesome music! The fact that Vice City was widely touted for bringing open-ended gameplay into video games means that the series isn' t a complete wash. How often do you hear " GTA clone" when another " sandbox" game comes out?

But if i trashed GTA all the time,then suddenly say how much i love and respect GTA serie when its announced for also coming on the 360,wouldn' t that make me false :P ?

I always said that i think GTA sold on medias BS about it,and the media coverage and the debate it created about it.

However even i still had my moments in GTA serie as in GTA3 and GTA vice city.
But for me it was a 85/100 at most.

Which is a good score.

But remember millions love GTA and it get awesome scores,it does that for a reason.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

The series f**king sucks. Sure they have great soundtracks and have been technical benchmarks on PS2 and PSP, sure they have great voice acting, -- those however don' t make great or even good games.

The whole premise is pathetic, the controls are shocking, the game mechanics in general are rubbish, the missions are repetative, they are full of glitchs and the character models are laughable.

They are bad games!

Halo 2 on the otherhand gets waaaaaay too much critism. Like Super Mario Sunshine it' s directly compared to it' s predecessor, when it should be compared to every other FPS/platformer instead.

Halo 2 kept the same gameplay and mechanics, had better visuals and a more detailed and complex storyine. The online wasn' t quite as satisfying as the originals but Halo 2 is still the most played game on Live so it' s hardly unpopular.

Don' t forget that it sold as much as FF10,almost 7 million copies.

I meant halo2.
Also it sold like 1.5 million copies on one day.
People who dont care about the story who didn' t even bother to read the letters in halo2 manual might miss out on something,its a very deep cool story in halo,but you can just ignore it and play and have fun,but thats what make it awesome,that for the hardcore fans,there is a lot to be found there.

If Wii got a sniping game... That would be good, Silent Scope on Wii, but you had
to be so precise with the way you held the nunchuck and wand. Otherwise you miss.

Halo 2 for WII!!

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Halo 2 for wii would pwn
but it wouldnt happen unless microsoft and nintendo merged.
