I was thinking that the next GTA would probably be a lot better if they made it a PS3 exclusive due to the bigger space on Blu-Ray discs. I could be wrong but I think they could make a lot longer and more bigger game world and that having to make the PS3 and 360 versions the same hampers the potentialf of the GTA series.I don't think R* would ever do it though since they'd be losing a lot of cash and huge backlash from MS.

well rockstar did say in the past, that the 360 not using HDD and blu ray caused lots of hicupps during the development.

Do the benefits of going exclusive make sense for the developer? if not, then no. GTA has a huge fanbase on the 360, and the 360 is leading in sales. it simply won't happen.

Why would they do that when every single GTA game has been multiplatform?

I think Rockstar should make two sequels: completely different games, one tailored to the PS3 and one for 360. It will never happen though. Seriously too expensive. Ahhh to dream.

Not necessarily, you could make a PC version with the same amount of content. Even the 360 version is possible, you could just have multiple disks.

I agree. I guess at the end of the day it's the $ that counts the most.

some devs like rockstar actually care about the art more then money. and the PS3 canvas is just to superior to the 360 hardware for devs not to take advantage of making the best game they can make. the PS3 hardware is just too powerful, the Cell design cant be matched by 360 and making a game with 360 in mind just downgrades the whole product. This is a known fact devs are talking about it left and right, we cant just ignore it.

it takes money to perform the art, and 50 million for 6 months work is a fantastic plan, then you can spend like 6 years working on your dream game on all that cash.

gta 4 was a small time project compared to agent. it was their first shot at next gen hardware and ps3 was still new, so luckily the 360 handled it

We don't know it's requirements. Furthermore, the PC could handle anything the PS3 could.

If sony lent them that money, Rockstar wouldn't have to pay it back. So that rockstar can use the money they made from using that loan into making even better games. That's how much Sony cares about the gaming industry and us gamers.

You didn't hear this from me, but rumor on the street is, thanks to the power of the CELL the PS3 version of GTA5, will allow your character (name pending) to play GTAIII, VC, and San Andreas on the in-game televisions. Shhh.

I hope the next one is large enough to at least fill one side of a blu ray this time around (or multipleDVDs for the 360 :P). The last one I felt was lacking.

Do the benefits of going exclusive make sense for the developer? if not, then no. GTA has a huge fanbase on the 360, and the 360 is leading in sales. it simply won't happen. KukicAdo

[QUOTE="Danm_999"]Not necessarily, you could make a PC version with the same amount of content. Even the 360 version is possible, you could just have multiple disks.

That is actually not possible. You can't have a sandbox game where you have to change disc to get to a new area, specially not GTA games. And if you are talking installs, it would still come up short. 6.8GB of data on each disc is'nt enough, sorry.
