Earlier this week Rockstar Games announced that the next installment in the wildly popular and controversial (funny how those two go together) Grand Theft Auto series will ship this October exclusively for PlayStation 2. And, yes, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas can be pre-ordered right now at EBgames.com.

that is from my ebgames newsletter i get. What a piece of crap. It's called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas woulda been sweet on xbox.

:cuss: :cry: :eek:

Also news from our front page from yesterday. :wink:

This isn't anything surprising. Everyone knew it would be PS2 exclusive and it is the last obligation from Rockstar to fullfill their contract with Sony. You may have noticed that they didn't call it GTA4, for a reason.

Look for the next GTA to come out for all consoles/PC simultaniously.

GTA: San Adreas probably won't hit the black and green until 6 months or so after the launch on PS2.

I could really care less about the GTA series... I bought 3 and VC and they were good at first. After a while it was the same thing, steal a car, run someone over, screw a prostitute, blah blah blah. Besides, we get Halo 2, Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Fable, and much much more.... ya know, games with a phenominal story line.

God.... Grand Theft Auto is such a good series. I have the double pack, can't wait till it comes out on the Xbox, maybe in a year or so after PS2 release

I agree with LiquidX, I could care less. PS2 is going to hold on to one of the better games for dear life. I liked it at first, then just lost intrest as soon as I beat the final missions. There is no replay value.

What more could they think of that they haven't already put in the first 4 installments? PS2 might become unoriginal fairly soon.

That is exactly what i was going to say. They rocked then began to get boring and IMO are way over rated. Doesn't mean they are crap just not teh best.

Well The GTA series is one of the reasons I have both consoles. The PS2 has gotten no play in the past few months but once san andreas comes out I will have to dust it off.

Agreed. GTA is great for awhile, but it does get old and tiresome. I will still pick up GTA:SA if it offers up enough new things to warrant a purchase if not then I will just rent it.

They are already unoriginal. What games do they have besides this one that's coming out that can compare to what the xbox has coming? GT4 and that's it. Another sequel to the sequel to the sequel. Sony is worried trust me. :cheers:

Actually FF Online, Resident Evil Online, GTA:SA, GT4, MGS3 all make Sonys linup look killer. Ill bet you anything Sonys PS2 and its software will outsell the XBox linup.

MGS3 vs Halo 2 sales wise? No contest.

Hey guys, play nice. And let's not call others idiots when we can't form proper sentences.

Why don't you counter Smilebits's argument with this: Game sales don't mean the games are better, it means they've sold more. According to his criteria The Matrix is in fact the greatest game ever made.

Rockstar would not let xbox get it because of a contract, and well if you havent noticed, its like the greatest selling game on ps2, and is still i believe, at like the #5 position for monthly selling, for VC.

The fact that VC is still at #5, says a lot about the quality of the current PS2 titles available. ;)

No way could VC, even the upgraded one on the Xbox, make it in the top 5 Xbox titles right now.

You're kidding right? No seriously, you have got to be kidding me? MGS3 outsell Halo2?! Halo2, when it's released will be a f'in event. MGS3 will just be a good game that's being released. Let me just give you an example of how big Halo2 is: at my store we take preorders. We are trying to get 54 preorders for Halo2, we have 44. We only want 8 for MGS3. Yep, you guessed it, we have none. C'mon stop playing, you knew better than to post that. ;)
