GTA V not coming to 360?!

So for all you 360's players who love the GTA series and are waiting for GTA V I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. From this article sounds like the 360 couldn't hold the objects that their gonna put in GTA V.

im calling bull**** :/ it sounds like a ps3 fanboy who wants to slam the 360 some more made that storyspartan----117

I seen about this on a few different sites so I don't think that a fanboy is just trying to slam it. But I could be wrong. I just ran across this and wanted to see what you guys think.

Like Agent_Kaliaver was talking about multiple disks sorta like the Driver games. But you would think in the year 2012 we shouldn't have to do that with all the technology.koolaidWTF

yeah im calling bs.seeing as how the ps3 install base is so small.they wouldnt make enough money just off the ps3 version.especially since the 360 version outsold the ps3 version by a decent mark.

That's an article on GTA IV, not GTA VAndYOU

Read the first section of the article.

Rockstar wont spend millions upon millions making GTA V, and not release for the system where they will make the most money fromeagles_band

It's not Rockstar that is deciding the fate of GTA V coming to the 360, it's Microsoft. The article is saying that with all the stuff that is gonna be in it won't be able to fit on a 360 disc. Also about some of the 360's not having a hard drive which is another problem with it.

Flagmaster, if it was just as easy to grab a game install it on the hard drive and be able to play it without the game (if thats what your trying to say) many many people would just rent the games and do that and return it. Then they would have a free game basically. That's just like someone giving you a cd and then ripping it on your computer and putting it on your iPod. The company and artist are losing money.koolaidWTF

Don't believe this **** the next GTA will be out in what? 5 years? a new Xbox can be out by then.

Article + thread fails.

So what about the stuff on the second disk. It just automatically finds it on the hard drive?

The multiple disc situation is normally an almost non-existant problem, considering that for a fairly linear game you will probably only change the disc every 10 hours or so. However it does make an interesting situation for a free roaming game like GTA, as you would have to have transition points, and that would sort of ruin the game.

Rockstar already said that the DVD format, and lack of guarenteed HDD, hurt the development of GTA4 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=163233), so imagine the effect on GTA5. To be honest it doesn't bother me as I dont like GTA, but I know a lot of people adore it, and its an important point that will need resolving.

Yeah its from april, but has Microsoft changed anything drastically with the 360? Besides a new 60GB hard drive? No, so this is still a problem.koolaidWTF

Actually, since April they have changed something. With the new NXE GUI you can install games onto the HD, and that is a fairly "drastic" change if you ask me. Being able to install games to the drive makes the whole 360's storage medium is insignificantly small, a moot point.

Then if you go and actually READ the article, no where does it say that GTA V won't be coming to the 360, it just says that IF GTA V(assuming it is ever made) needs as big a storge boost as did GTA IV over GTA 3: San Andreas, that the Xbox would need to come up with a new way to hold game media.

They have, so why bring this up now? It is like saying Halo 3 can't come out on the xbox right after the 360 was launched. Kinda silly.

Yeah the size of memory it can hold on the disk, and of course ps3 is winning with the blu-ray discs. While Microsoft is still behind so they either have to find a new kind of disc that hold more memory games like GTA V (that might come out) won't be able to fit onto the disc.

Yeah! Maybe not for the Xbox 360 but, rather, for its successor judging from the lifespan of the console itself. Even though, Microsoft said the lifespan of the Xbox 360 will be one day longer than the PlayStation 3's which is 10 years. Needless to say, it does not mean that they will not introduce the new Xbox before that.

Both Microsoft and Sony introduced their current generation consoles after 4 and 6 years into the previous generation consoles' lifespans, respectively. Moreover, nothing has been announced in the very near future, except Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS in 2009. In 2009, the Xbox 360 will have reached the 4th year of its 10 year lifespan. So, yea...

"i think we can all agree that game disks won't get smaller." so they'll become the size of this?

and systems will be this?

oh jesus

you guys do know MS charges extra for multplie disc's.clyde46

[QUOTE="clyde46"]you guys do know MS charges extra for multplie disc's.bulletsword

it basically comes down to this, Microsoft has to either do something different with their systems and make it so it can support more higher end stuff like the ps3 or they will lose some of the new stuff that is coming out in the future years.koolaidWTF

That still doesn't count for if it had multiple discs. Say you download them both you would still have to keep switching them back and forth cause it still has to read the disc. Also I thought installing them to your hard drive just make the game load faster?koolaidWTF

No, like on a computer when installing from multiple discs, the game is then on the HDD, so the disc in the tray is only to verify that you still have the game and didn't sell it, or it isn't a rental or what have you. If installed you wouldn't need to switch discs except when installing.

I very much doubt this would be true.
