Yet Again GTA V Advertise As PS3 Exclusive, Now in Taiwan

Yet another smart marketing decision of Rockstar Games and Sony for GTA V on PS3.

WeaseL4311d ago

They really should ask Sony why they are not paying to advertise that its on Xbox as well.
/s

cleft54311d ago

Well in eastern countries the 360 doesn't do so well so I can see why they aren't bothering with marketing for the 360 version in a lot of eastern countries. I think if you are in Taiwan and you own a 360 than you are up to date with what sort of games are going to be coming to the system.

mikeslemonade4311d ago (Edited 4311d ago )

It's a drop in the bucket anyway with what sales you get there.

DaCajun4311d ago (Edited 4311d ago )

Like we haven't seen tons of commercials on TV in the USA where 3rd party games show Xbox 360 only like it was exclusives and no mention of PS3. So what's wrong with PS doing it too finally.

DOOMZ4311d ago

Nationalism at its finest... Too bad we don't do the same here...

humbleopinion4311d ago

Nothing to do with success in Taiwan, just with the sums of money changing hands - just like any other ad deal.

UltimateMaster4311d ago

Asian Countries are dominated by the PS3.
It's just that simple.

DonFreezer4311d ago

Well in eastern countries Sony pays the developers money to advertise the game as a ps exclusive. Why is it so hard to speak about the truth once?

"Yet Again GTA V Advertise As PS3 Exclusive, Now in Taiwan"

Not surprising. Sony did the same thing in Europe with FIFA and Far Cry 3. Microsoft does the same thing with other games.

TheGrimReaper00114311d ago

I hear that
I know some people who think COD is exclusive to xbox

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4311d ago (Edited 4311d ago )

It's probably going to be the same where Saints Row is better on the 360 than PS3 anyways. Just like most games this gen. Just like how Saints Row dominates on 360 over PS3.

"""PS3 has 960x720 resolution with QAA resulting in a soft look
Xbox 360 has native 720p along with 2x MSAA resulting in a far better IQ than PS3
The core artwork remains the same between both version of the game
Alpha buffers are rendered in a lower resolution on PS3
Xbox 360 has better AF and aggressive level of streaming compared to PS3
Game runs with unlocked frame rate and no vsync on both platforms
Cutscenes run with vsync engaged on both platforms
Xbox 360 version has the option to toggle Vsyn Off/On in Options menu
"""

Games aren't advertised based on specs.

They use the best version's footage (unless they do "in engine" videos), but they don't just NOT LIST the others.

But I'm probably wasting my time explaining that, since your post reeks of intentionally off-topic trolling.

wth? talk about off topic, stop trolling

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4311d ago

Can't make your cake and eat it too... Sorry, Saints Row is on the better console this gen. It happens.
Smashed.

JP13694311d ago

Why don't you also post their SR3 comparison? It's funny how you mention "most games" are better on 360, yet repetitiously provide a single example. I bet you're the smartest guy you know.

SilentNegotiator4311d ago (Edited 4311d ago )

"Saints Row is on the better console this gen"

...really? Tell me more about a game that has nothing to do with this article.

SSJBen4311d ago

Didn't your teacher teach you not to go off-topic in an essay?

What does Saints Row has anything to do with GTA?

ShinMaster4311d ago (Edited 4311d ago )

Over 7 years and you think people still care about this?

And by the way. Guess what version of GTAV Rockstar is showing off: http://youtu.be/N-xHcvug3WI...
PROTIP: Those are not Xbox buttons.

NeloAnjelo4311d ago

@midnight...

And your point exactly? MS doesn't exist in Asia in any meaniful way. Plain and simple.

Spenok4311d ago (Edited 4311d ago )

They aren't advertising this is PS3 exclusive. They just aren't advertising it's also on 360. Microsoft does this all the time with commercials.

I mean, when you look at an Xbox magazine, do they say the games are also coming to Playstation? No, and vice versa for Playstation magazines.

ShugaCane4311d ago

Well, I have seen many Tv ads only showing the 360 logo for multiplat games. It happens often, I don't think it deserves an entire article.

ABeastNamedTariq4311d ago

Exactly. COD and Skyrim come to mind.

There's a partnership between R* and Sony, of course they wouldn't advertise the 360 version.

PlayStation_44311d ago

Take-Two and Sony*

Take2 own Rockstar, 2K games and Irrational games

pyramidshead4311d ago

has there been any gameplay shown on the 360 yet?

ABeastNamedTariq4311d ago

Nope. All of their gameplay stuff shows the PS3 version, IIRC.

GarrusVakarian4311d ago

Nope, not yet. Lead platform is the PS3, which is why its been used in the trailers.

GarrusVakarian4310d ago

@ IHassounah

Regardless, there's a reason they chose PS3 footage for all trailers so far. So i will buy the PS3 version (and hopefully the PS4 version in the not too distant future).

ABeastNamedTariq4311d ago (Edited 4311d ago )

This is simply a marketing partnership between R* and Sony. Kind of like what MS does with COD and Bethesda games.

But one check on the MS website, Destiny and Watch Dogs are still being subliminally advertised as exclusives. They're right in the middle of their actual exclusives.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese28d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde28d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast28d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake28d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow127d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown36d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8536d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown36d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8535d ago (Edited 35d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole34d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name35d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast35d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj35d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos48d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto48d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba48d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz47d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u47d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
