As a response to all of the financial type comments and 'where are the benefits?' style questions I just want to say this again. A huge part of my theory here is that Rockstar may have to at least temporarily give them the game in exchange for Agent because how is Rockstar North going to work on that game and GTA V? It's mostly based around the complications there. Rockstar owes Sony an exclusive because of a deal.
Why I think GTA V will be a PS3 exclusive.
- Thread starter grrr
- Start date

GTA5 will be as exclusive to PS3 as Modern Warfare 3 and Skyrim were.
Which is to say, it won't be.

I have both a 360 and PS3. You can be guaranteed I'll be buying the game on PC if there's a PC version, even if the PC version is delayed. Console games look crap compared what gaming PCs can pull off these days.
Don't think you're right there.grrr said:
They would be cutting their market not only in two to exclude the 360ers, but what about the PC folks? They've bought GTA I-IV and all the others too! There's no way it won't be on 360 or PC, that'd be a financial shot in the knee and the arm.
The only possible thing that could happen (and I also see no advantage to this either, except pissing off possible 360/PC users), is that its released on PS3 first, but I see no gain to them at all. It could easily be developed for PC or PS3, then ported down and optimized for 360 later.
What a FANTASTIC IDEA! Let just cut the fanbase into a third and only release on one platform - the platform with the smallest community! HAHA! We're definitely going to make more money this way!
Your sources mean nothing if common sense prevails. I could quote the Daily Mail as a source of bullshit, and the bullshit would still be just that - bullshit.

OH, and the new "slim" 360 has improved unadvertised hardware - that includes an underclocked processor where the older models are overclocked to the max, and a slightly better graphics a card & slightly faster HDD & DVD drives. The 360 is now almost parallel with the PS3 in terms of computing power. But due to the older models still in existence (though Microsoft plans to phase them out a year or so before the new Xbox) there still have to be limitations with games released as to not break the older models. *COUGH* MY PREMIUM OVERHEATS ONLY WHEN I PLAY BF3 & NOT ANY OTHER GAME FORCING ME TO BUY A NEW SLIM MODEL *COUGH*
Subtle capitalist bastards, Microsoft are. Making shit to break.

Wrong - the PS3 is a fair bit more powerful, but sadly both flop compared to a basic gaming rig of £500.Pearwood said:
In one sense, a PS3 exclusive could be possible seeing that GTA 4 pushed the 360 to its limits years ago, so how could they possibly improve it besides change the textures?
However, would Rockstar cut off 40 million potential buys?
Highly doubtful as the one thing this generation has shown is that devs will happily reduce the quality of the game for more customers.
If there is actually a contract there then they owe the contracted game, and if GTA5 is not the named game in the contract then they do not owe Sony an exclusive of GTA5 in any way.grrr said:
Do you honestly think that Rockstar are stupid enough to shrink their market as much as releasing GTA5, which will almost certainly be the biggest game release of whichever year it hits the shelves, on only one console? Please, the amount of money Sony would have to pay them to make it exclusive would negate the income Sony themselves would make from it. Rockstars shareholders would hit the ceiling if the company announced that their biggest property would be gimped like that.
While you are right about PC being superior by a long shot, PS3 and 360 are barely different in power these days. Read my comment at the top of the page then nod your head as I ask you "You're not very aware when it comes to technological advancements or changes in the way computers logically handle data, are you?".Jimbo1212 said:
The efficiency of data handling on both consoles these days has become superb, allowing the developers to allocate more processing time to render greater detail in textures and more polygons for meshes, whilst calculating smarter AI & rendering more objects on-screen real-time than any game 3 years back on the same hardware; when we thought they had hit the limit.
Umm... Ok try again.HassEsser said:
You know it makes plenty of sense to develop on tech they have more then surpassed, the 360 is a massive install base and they would be bat shit insane not to launch such a big name title as a ps3 exclusive especially after the last few installments weren't exclusive, could you imagine the backlash? Let alone the money they would miss out on from the 360 users. At the end of the day its the money that decides these things and money wise it sure as fuck makes sense to develop for "tech they have more then surpassed"
Yup I gotta agree though the Xbox and PS3 are different they are not that different and seriously most games really do look the same on both. The PS3 has a different setup in memory but the Xbox 360 has found limitations with its 10Mb graphic buffer to so..Pearwood said:
By now games just look the same, par a filter effect that might be slightly different. Or an anti aliasing method that again is slightly different.
GTA V.. not this generation!
We are reaching the point that developers are pushing the hardware. See Skyrim and its odd bugs.. and its fixes. How to fix? Just lower texture quality slightly... they just pushed it to hard there.
To progress we will need new consoles. And yes I know exclusives can push the hardware better I know..
GTA V will be on the PC and future consoles. Maybe even the WiiU [would be a good start for Nintendo to fix things]
