Grand Theft Auto 7 NOT PS3 Exclusive!

ITANI | October 05, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Reported by HDGameNews that the 7th installment in the Grand Theft Auto series will be a PS3 Exclusive because Rockstar wants to take full advantage of Cell and Blu-Ray is totally fake. The article continues and supplies us the reasons to why it's wrong. First of all it's because the next Grand Theft Auto will not be the 7th installment in the series and this is also not counting Grand Theft Auto London.

1. Grand Theft Auto
2. Grand Theft Auto 2
3. Grand Theft Auto 3
4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
5. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
6. Grand Theft Auto Advance
7. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
8. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
9. Grand Theft Auto IV

Also the first section of the quote was familiar to the article creator. So he uses Google to investigate in the matter and finds where he has read the very same words before. It turns out that this article was posted back on July 27th at Playstation.Blog with the exact words.

Final reason to why this is untrue is because the article creator has also said that the OXM magazine is yet to arrive to him and everyone he's contacted hasn't read anything about a GTA PS3 exclusive.

Well I guess PS3 fans had their couple of seconds of happiness.
Pay special attention to the text in the bold… look familiar? It should: It’s the same damn text, taken from a PlayStation blog post that was made on July 27th by Michael Shorrock, talking about how Sony locked up the rights to a NEW franchise from Rockstar. Outside of mentioning that Rockstar MADE the actual game, there is no mention of the GTA franchise anywhere in that post.

    That's what i concluded after seeing the actual article at playstation blog site. But nonetheless, whatecer the new franchise will be, i bet it'll rock.

    And yes, i was happy for a few seconds there, but then i woke up to reality and started to search the truth.

    When i saw the title to this article i though Grand Theft Auto on Wii, WTF! But when i read the actual article my mind sorta slipped away... i don't care if Rockstar not make the game Ps3 exclusive, iv think the Ps2 deserves it aswell seeing as how much a PS3 is!

      Gah, another person who wants new games on their old system?

      Seriously, if they made a PS2 version, they'd have to seriously dumb it down...And as a result, the PS3 and 360 versions would likely suffer a fair bit as a result...

      Either get a new generation system, or be quiet about it...

      And I was wondering why they'd let the next GTA be exclusive to one console? Thats a lot of sales lost...Not to mention, I thought they said the were done with the GTA series anyhow (though they are perfectly allowed to change their minds)

        Not everyone can afford a next gen system. It must be nice to have mommy and daddy buy everything for their kids. In the real world, however, hardworking people have to pay other things and a $400+ console(s) isn't always viable.

        Once you move out and if you don't rely on your parents you'll see what I mean. Try paying bills, rent, food, transportation fees, etc.

        Having support for older consoles isn't a bad thing. If you're talking about the next gen versions "suffering" it's only because of the graphics. If graphics mean more to you than game play well...I can safely assume you didn't come from the 8bit generation of gamers. (:

      Not PS3 exclusive just means that 360 will also get the game not PS2.If your lucky you'll get a San Andreas Stories game for the PS2 but other than that you'll never see a PS2 GTA again.

    Stop complaining about games not coming to PS2, the PS3 price has just dropped again so I think even you could afford it now.

    And if you wanted next gen games you shouldn't have bought the Wii

      Not necessarily. Some people still can't afford a PS3 even if the price dropped further.

    This article aint as funny as the people complaining about how they cant afford ps3's? And that people that do own them rely on there parents? Thats real mature.

    Like silver moon said the price has cut down so put money aside if you really want it.

      Dreph | October 06, 2007
      But what if that money is needed for life things? Not all people can actually keep some of their money aside for a PS3.

        If you can't afford to game you can't afford to game. You shouldn't complain when next-gen consoles get all the games. It's inevitable. The PS3 has been coming for years. Since last year. Okami and God of War 2 have been worth buying. Nothing else really...could have saved up that whole time. The fact they didn't is not my problem I don't want the quality of my games to lower because of something like that.

    Is this some kind of a fake? Currently I'm still deciding whether to buy an Xbox360 or not...

    But now you can get a PS3 for the same price as a 360 in the UK ^^

      Yeah, in the UK. Over here I think it's still $500.

    I don't think Microsoft will just sit by as Sony drops the price of the PS3 at an abismal rate. If Microsoft need to they will reduce the price of the console. But there will have to be some point where both slow down otherwise they may no profit much.

    Yeah, I have all those games on the list except the gta 2. All the games are great, but I hate the ones that are overhead view where you can't see in front of you or the guys face. Well, Xbox GTA is most likely going to have more sales then the Ps3, because more people have the Xbox 360.

    Charuzu just to clear things up its Silver Mirror not Silver Moon

    So which one is true? Is Grand theft Auto exclusive or not

    I would go with it being untrue because the reasons above are believable and completely prove the HDgaming article wrong. They took the exact words from a Playstation.blog.
