GTA4 - Xbox360 Exclusive?
I heard from a source that this game, the newest installment was gonna be a Xbox360 exclusive. Considering GTA is one of my favorite series of games and I've already seen the amazing trailer of it, the comment my source gave me left me scared.
So is this true? Or is GTA just another multi-platform game like the others?
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
I think it is, heard this from a couple sources, mainly Sony fan boys bitching about it.
Damn, can anyone else ease my mind with this case.

PS3 and Xbox 360 since birth. If that has changed, I haven’t heard anything about it.
The "Complete GTA IV Experience" is only on the Xbox 360, as Rockstar will be releasing two downloadable content packs after the game's release only on Xbox Live. Other than that, however, an identical version of the game will ship for both consoles. At least, it's assumed it'll be identical: it's certainly possible it'll run slightly better on one console or the other.
I wouldn't be surprised if those downloadable content packs make their way to the Playstation Network eventually. It's also possible it could run better on the PS3 as well. I know I saw an article where one producer was saying getting it onto the 360 was more difficult due to the lack of disc space, and the fact that they can't count on users having a hard drive. At best I'd expect a hard drive install on the PS3 and something along the lines of better load times and less pop-up as a result though.Originally Posted by Azar
Microsoft were quite clear on the content being "exclusive".
Which likely just means the stuff on the Playstation Network will be different, so the two games will start the same but grow in different ways.
I hate the fact that Microsoft bought out Rockstar just to cheese off Sony. I understand why they did what they did, but I also don't think it is right that GTA fans are caught in the crossfire.
I wouldn't count on it, seeing as Microsoft paid $50 Million for the content to be 360 exclusive.
XBOX is trying to steal the games that put Sony's Ps2 ahead. Dur.

Oh mothersmurf. With MGS4 being a PS3 exclusive, I'm going to have to buy both consoles. Damn you, capitalism!
PSM has shown the game on PS3 so the game is multi-platform. I don't think its any worse than what happend to DMC.
Then we'll likely see other downloadable content eventually. Frankly I find it hard to believe Microsoft would pay that much just for some exclusive downloadable content though. If that's the case then they got ripped off. Downloadable extras for a multiplatform game probably aren't going to sell many consoles.I wouldn't count on it, seeing as Microsoft paid $50 Million for the content to be 360 exclusive.
The game is still coming to Xbox 360 and PS3. Microsoft obviously handed a big bag of cash to Rockstar to get the game exclusive, which Rockstar denied but took some money and let the game have a simultanious release on the 360 and PS3. Mainly because Rockstar knows most of the GTA fanbase are PS2 owners and that there likely to buy a PS3. That may not be true now but they didnt know back then.
If the PS3 doesnt gather steam Microsoft will eventually have stolen every worthwhile brand Sony has. Sony can put up a fight money wise ( I mean, there still Sony after all ) but with them losing so much money with the PS3 they will have less money to give away soon and Microsoft will probably have more. Microsoft are unfair competition if you ask me, but hey, thats why I bought both consoles.
