GTA V has been making huge headlines of late with tons of news about why the title will come out this holiday season. Which we actually even thought for a minute, that it, might be true. Yet with all the buzz surrounding the title ever since its initial reveal trailer not much more has been released about the game. With only screenshots being released to the public and only 2 on the official GTA V site perhaps Rockstar games had a conference call for another reason?
That's all you had to say, really.
@BrizzyE
That's really offensive :(.
Nice going people.
That would seriously impact the sales of it on Wii U, what with the console also having a small userbase typical of a newly launched machine. Less than 15m for sure in year one, probably less than 10m.
Rockstar may not see the point of it immediately, because it is obvious far and away the most sales and money and return will come from 360 and PS3 versions which is where all their effort will no doubt be focused and getting the game done for those platforms.
By the time the game is out for the primary platforms they might not see a great deal of point moving it over to Wii U, if a new generation of Sony and Microsoft machines is iminent within say a year they might prefer to put their efforts into that generation.
Purely because they would expect to get an engine up and running for that generation and the future. Remember Rockstar Table Tennis? This was a semi experiment to have their engine ready for the rest of their games for this gen.
So while they COULD port it to Wii U, the time and money might not appeal as much as you would think compared to just leaving it on original platforms and then focusing on Sony's and Microsoft's new machines and a new engine.
"BANG, ZOOM! Straight to the Wii U!"
GTA effect = system seller
Nintendo = child/family friendly console... GTA could detract from that notion?
Someone please explain how you disagree with this.
Darksiders II, Ninja Gaiden, Assassin's Creed III, Aliens, Tekken, 007, ZombiU and Batman Arkham City, to name what I can think of off the top of my head. I'd say they're trying to appeal to a variety of markets as oppose to just one.
Guess this is what happens when you post on an article and then realise you actually don't even care :P
:(
Unless I'm mistaken...

The pro controllers will cost about 50-60 bucks.
They're obviously becoming more agressive with "hardcore" games. Bayonetta is the epitome of female sexuality in video games, and they picked that game up and are PUBLISHING it.
So I think this would be more of Rockstar's decision rather than Nintendo's. But if I were Nintendo, I'd do everything I can to get that game on the Wii U.
Reggie: "GTA V! My system is ready!"
So why waste all those resources building engines for the Wii U to port games like GTA5 over to it only to have it sell 100k on the consol.
The way the industries talking right now they are expecting the Wii U to sell like the Wii but seriously I see Nintendo with another Gamecube on their hands.
Lol ya right, what's this writer smoking.
Too adult oriented for Nintendo to handle unfortunately. Plus I doubt Rockstar wants to invest anything into gimmick controllers.
i can see the map working on the tablet controller letting you mark points idk random thought
