I think GTA is heading in a different direction that what the Wii can handle.  The new GTA game on the PS3 and 360 looks amazing, and it looks like a tremendous amount of time was put into the games look.  If I was Take 2, I wouldn't want to alter my game to play on the Wii either. I just don't think the Wii can handle that level of visuals.

If anything they (Take 2) could someday come out with a Wii specific title that has a different story and look and not be compared to the next gen version of GTA.

Yeah, Im really glad I now have the option to get GT4. If they was really supporting Wii, they would give us an origanal GTA game. Even with the same game engine as San andreas? I wouldn't mind to much.

I think GTA would sell like crazy on Wii.

I think the US government would be watching for something like that too. They're already talking about how the Wii allows users to do more realistic motions and gestures, and I don't think we're done hearing about that either. I'm guessing we'll have hearings sooner then later and games like Manhunt will be at the forefront.

I definitely can't see them trying to dumb down GTA4 to bring it to the Wii as it would likely compromise its quality. And it would probably take a few mature third-party titles to sell a million plus on the Wii before they would even consider making a new GTA for the Wii. So far there hasn't been anything close (other than Red Steel, being a launch title).

gft is right. GTA is starting to head down the powerhouse region, somewhere new and exciting that it has never been before (anyone name for me a GTA game with good graphics) and although I'd love for it happen, I doubt that it will.

GTA is going down the wrong path imo. Fix the busted gameplay before graphics (which is all that is ever talked about, that and online play). We'll see if 4 does that..

So what your saying is, they shouldn't give the game great graphics? If they don't focus on graphics at all then the game will look like the ps2 ones. Which would be bad.

Hey whats stopping them from fixing "the busted gameplay" and the graphics? Its not impossible...

GTA: San Andreas = Most fun/replayable game ever made in the history of man?

Tune in next week.....

Time and money.  I'm not saying they haven't, but since I haven't heard anything about gameplay (the biggest flaw in the series imo), I won't get excited about a bump in graphics or online play.  Now if they fix the terrible on foot/gunning controls, I'll take a second look.

Not to me, I haven't played it since I shut it off after about 8-10 hours of play.  After playing GTAIII and VC, SA felt like an expansion pack and did little to extend play for me.  I'm not alone on this sentiment, and GTA isn't the only guilty series...


And on ps2 graphics, that's a-ok with me. Graphics don't enhance gameplay. I still enjoy 2-d shooters that are well designed more than more technical 3-d graphical powerhouses.

GTA: SA = My fav GTA.

I hope GTA IV, is better than SA, but with this whole realistic thing, I dont know how well it will work

I could see that coming. Oh well, guess we will need to just play it on the ps3

I can pretend to be sad if Take Two want? But honestly, I don't care about this. There hasn't been a TRULY good GTA game since GTA3. Sure, Vice City was okay... but it was the beginning of the end.

I don't care if there'll never be a GTA game on the Wii. Just means that's one less bad game we have to worry about.

as far as a new GTA, no. i don't see them releasing one for the Wii. GTA has kind of been the basics of what the masses want in games. sex, drugs, violence, and now pretty graphics. they pushed for a new and innovative game with GTA3 and made it, they expanded upon that and made it better with GTA:VC, they simply expanded it with GTA:SA. GTA4 so far is just looking to make it look better and expand it again. granted i want to play GTA4, but only b/c it's GTA and i generally have fun with it. i'm not expecting anything new from it as of now.

with all the expanding and now focusing on graphics, GTA4 and future GTA games focusing on this trend would NOT fit on the Wii. that's kind of a given. hell, i don't even want them to dumb down the grahpics for it. that'd just make it look horrid. what doesn't make sense, and i think is a huge stupid move, why not re-release GTA3, VC and SA for the Wii in a new version? the Wii already has over 6million users to play the game. tweek the controls, change mini-games to use the Wii-mote, and pump out the redesigned game.

for an original GTA for Wii, i wouldn't hold my breath. takes a ton to create a GTA game and Rock Star seems like the company that will only release something if it's a guaranteed money maker (besides the BS poker games and such). they probably don't see the Wii as a viable source for people that would buy a game like GTA (even though we all know differently).

Haven't we learned these types of games do not sell well on Nintendo consoles?

*Nods*

Aw man, I quite liked the idea of a Wii version of GTA.

They don't sell very well because publishers don't normally bother releasing the best mature titles for Nintendo consoles. I bet they'd do better if given the chance.

just think of gta on te wii tho it would be pretty awesome with the controlls, you would be able to punch people on the street with the nunckuck and shoot people with the wii mote drive with the wii mote knife people with gestures fly by moving controls i think they could have just about every configuation of controlls in one game which could really make it fantastic!

^what he said.

Vice-versa
