well, either MS and Rockstar wanna make a big surprise by not telling that they're gonna show it, either it's really doomed and we go to something next. The announcement didn't mention GTA4 either, so I would bet on surprises. But who knows.

It still doesn't say that GTA3 is definately not coming. It may not be mentioned at E3, but, it's still possible that it's coming. We'll see.

For a moment there, I thought it was a public notice from Take-2-Entertainment and Rockstar announcing that GTA3 is not coming, but, it's not, therefore, we'll have to wait and see.

Bah !!! at one point I cared but now I no longer care. We may not get GTA3 but they will never get HALO :cool: Our time is coming. This year were gonna get some games that will make PS2 exclusive players jealous " Brute Force " for 1. As well while they are playing lag filled dial up games we will be enjoying lag free broadband.

I'm not saying anything but I believe it is GTA3/MIAMI not GTA4/Miami because its based off of GTA3 and they don't know if it's actually going to be called Miami either, well the "DONT KNOW if there gonna call it Miami" is some old news I saw.:)

Mafia is coming out for Xbox, the box has been at my local EB with a 'coming soon' label on it for a while now.

Mofia, is that like gta or what?

Until rockstar officially announces gta 3 will not be released on xbox i'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

I think Rockstar is just teasing us so people will want it more and be GTA3 more anticipated.

Heres another article I found at Game Spot:

Take-Two announces its E3 lineup.

Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind the Rockstar Games and Gathering of Developers labels, has announced its lineup for E3. Perhaps more interesting than the games that are mentioned in the announcement are the games that aren't mentioned. Namely, Grand Theft Auto III and State of Emergency for the Xbox, both of which have been announced by Take-Two in various financial reports, but have all but vanished since that announcement. Take-Two representatives offered no comment when asked about the lack of GTAIII Xbox in Take-Two's E3 plans.
As for the rest of Take-Two's lineup, the company will be showing the following console games:

Smuggler's Run: Warzones (GC)
Celebrity Deathmatch (PS2)
Conflict: Desert Storm (PS2, Xbox, GC)
Spec Ops: Airborne Division (PS)
Austin Powers Pinball (PS)
Duke Nukem Advance (GBA)

It's also expected that the recently announced Midnight Club 2 will show up in one form or another, though that title wasn't included in the announcement. We'll

i dont no why Take 2 would hipe up Gta3 for xbox and then suddenly just forget about it and not even mention it at E3. i still think that the xbox will have a huge surprise at e3 even if its not gta3. well have to just wait and see.

I'm thinking GTA 3 is losing a lot of luster after taking this long to come out.

I hate to burst your bubble, but that press release was from February 15 of LAST year... I have a stinky suspicion that GTA3 has been dropped since then and neither Rockstar nor Take Two are "enthusiastic" about Xbox anymore... a fat paycheck from Sony probably took care of that.

GokuX is right... this game has definitely lost it's luster. I'm beyond the point of caring if it EVER comes out for Xbox (and I gave it an eXcitement score of 5 just three short months ago.) It's not in Rockstar's E3 lineup, so they're either being quiet, or it's not coming. If R* and Take Two made some sort of deal with Sony, then they're stupid. I'm all against crass commercialism, but they walked away from easy profit with this one. It probably would have been a million seller for Xbox, and it would've made the companies more money than Sony could ever dangle in front of them.

Just because it wont be at E3 doesnt mean anything...State of Emergency is already confirmed and it wont be there...but I dont think anyone cares about GTA3 anymore, we'll take 4 or get it for the PC if we are that desperate

A good point, Frosty! I never even thought of that... perhaps R* knows that a crappy game like that doesn't deserve to be at E3. :D

Master Gracy and frostberg have both gone mad! GTA3 is an awesome game! and in 4 days I'm getting it for pc!

and about that press release over a year ago saying GTA3 is coming to xbox. I too doubt it will happen becasue if it was in the works it would probably be released arond the same time as the pc version.

But I havn't gave up hope yet for a new version of it for xbox ;)

Ahhh I just have lost my flame of hope for GTA3. I really dont care if it comes out for the Xbox now, its too late. I still might buy it for the PC though.

Boomer

Might?

you will! lol

Hopeully in the future they make some of kind of downloadable upgrade that allows mulitplayer (If they havn't already) that might get more people interested in the game.

I totally agree with you. :D It was an awesome game that deserved to be the top-seller because it was fun and had infinite replay value.

What I'm sick of is R* and Take Two not making any type of commitment to an Xbox version either in press releases or in reality. We keep getting conflicting info, and it's as though they're toying with Xbox's GTA fans. Well, that little yes/no game is getting tiring and it's actually starting to turn me off of the idea of GTA3.

If you want to play PS2 games so bad then quit your whining and buy a PS2. There's nothing wrong with owning two systems.

Boomer
05-18-2002, 07:05 PM
Oh..... I understand

I guess I'm just one of the kind that can put up with the bs.... not sure how tho :D hehe

why would be buy a ps2 when we can just buy the *better* quality GTA3 for pc which everyone here obviously has.

i say we all write an e-mail to Take Two. Idk if they would be read but if they were that would be great... idk just an idea cause i really want this game.:)

I don't think that means it's never coming. My theory is Rockstar is going to surprise us at E3. I read that somewhere it was either Game Informer or OXM.

All we can do is hope for the best. that game would be a good addition to the box. One things for sure, i hope it's better on the xbox than the PS2.

Exactly, because the article is NOT conclusive. It's basically saying the same thing we are: maybe.


I bet we get an announcement this week at E3--read that somewhere in the rumor section of a game mag.

I got about 75% of the way through on the PS2 and then suddenly just lost interest in it. Think its a great game but i just had my fill of it. Would have to have something special added to it for the Xbox if I was going to get it again.

I honestly don't expect gta3 to come to the xbox but gta4 might end up being a exclusive?!
