The Last GTA Post, Our Final Hope

[tWoTOMA]

I was really upset by the fact that Sony reportedly signed the GTA series to an exclusive deal until 2004, when PS3 is reportedly going to begin production. I took it upon myself to check the source, and I found a few things. SCEA announced the "deal" at E3, but there has been no press release yet. So for all intents and purposes, it is not "official". I checked over at Take2 Games, and they too have not put out a press release announcing the agreement. They have announced that GTA:VC will be a PS2 exclusive, but they have not said anything about an agreement with Sony to keep GTA exclusive until 2004. Also, they have never officially cancelled GTA3, which was announced in February of 2001 and planned for a release this month.
Another important fact I came across was taht SCEA also spread a rumor at E3 that Metal Gear Solid Substance was to be a PS2 exclusive, but that was quickly shrugged off by the people that got to see Xbox demos and Konami's official announcement.
Sony announces one false rumor against the Xbox, then announces another deal that is yet to be confirmed by either party. The only thing that is set in stone is that GTA:VC will not be available on Xbox, but nothing has been said of GTA3 or any furter versions.
Lastly, I had some problems with my Xbox, so I called 18004MYXBOX, and to kill some time, I asked a rep about GTA3 coming to the Box. He told me it has been in development for over a year and has not officially been cancelled yet. He says that the Xbox team is not sure if the SCEA deal with Rockstar is true, but that he personally hopes it's not (of course). He says even if the rumor is true, GTA3 for Xbox will become a legal battle if Rockstar cancels it, because they have a contract calling for GTA3, Serious Sam, 4x4 Evo, Conflict: Desert Storm, State of Emergency, and Max Payne to come to the box. Also he says they are working on bringing Max Payne 2 to Xbox as an exclusive.
Of course I may be a dillusional GTA and Xbox fanatic clinging to my last hope, but everything that I have reported is true, so take it for what it's worth.

*pulls pants down and craps on yet the 3rd gta thread today"

[khaos2005]

I don't really care anymore. GTA3 can stay with the PS2, quite frankly it got old real quick.

[anthony_osborn]

i hope GTA will come out for xbox. iv been long waiting for this game. i dont care what anyone else says and i believe that htis guy is right and it might come out later int he year. thats what i think and hope anyway.

I can live with or without it. You would think some other company would want to make a game kinda like GTA3 if Rockstar won't. If you look at all the real sucessfulll exlusive's, and usually a rip off of the title is made by someone else. Might not be called GTA, but it would not suprise me to see a game a lot like it with a different name come out.

I dont see why GTA is a big deal i mean its a cool game but its not that good.

True, true.

[Kortiz]

lets be truthful


if we were still getting this game it would still be something we had against PS2.....now we(well some of you) are just shoving it off like it is the past...when you know if we were getting it you would have probably bought it too.....

If see another GTA thread I'm gonna barf!

[FuNkY mOnK]

Get it for the pc, play it, and move on.

It was an interesting read, but I just don't get why some think this game is so great. I borrowed it from my friend for my PS2 and got tired of the game after a month or so. If you haven't played the game by now, where the hell have you been? This game is in the past in my books...

No one's disturbed by your general attitude toward GTA threads--just the fact that you seem anxious to flame anyone who starts a GTA thread regardless of their content. Did anyone force you to read the thread? No. This is proven by the fact that you didn't read anything more than the subject line and because GTA was in it you flamed a guy. If, on the other hand, you had read the post you might have learned something about the possibility of a top-selling game coming to X-Box. But I guess one-sentence "flames" will get you post count up faster won't they?
