Its all a matter of opinion, no console is better than the other, its what features you want.

I buy it on 360, easily, for two reasons:

1.) DLC
2.) Xbox Live Multiplayer

I like the Wii controls in games like RE4, Table Tennis, Scarface, etc.
But what comes down to it is a game's replay value.
Why buy it instead of renting it?

DLC and Multiplayer.

The PS3 and the 360 have it.
The Wii doesn't.

Are you trying to make a point to me that I do not already know?

I wouldn't buy it. GTA would probably be dumb with Wiimote controls. I think that games better with a regular old classic controller.

GTA on wii would be awesome11111!

GTA Wii would take too much money for Rockstar to innovate and would probably not make back enough in return to call it worth their time

Shoti · 03-27-2008, 02:50 AM

All of these arguments seemed based on GTA IV being remade for the Wii, but why not an older build of the game? Considering how many PS2 ports the Wii has already why not consider porting some GTA with wii controls. Rockstar is showing the Wii some love with Manhunt and Bully, it's obviously worth their time and $$$ to simply port over "last gen" titles with improvements and motion control. I'd buy an original game.

San Andraes Stories?

T3kNi9e · 03-27-2008, 03:30 AM

Because Wii remote controls are not that special to warrant a port of an old game. I have no idea why they even did a Bully port, I think they wanted to do a updated version for the 360 and decided to go ahead and do it for the Wii but with the old graphics. Just play the original... it's not like PS2 is over, they're still selling it.

The fact is, that the entire control scheme would make people curious, and they would probably buy it just to have it. After all, as of 12/31/07, Nintendo has shipped over 20 million units worldwide, and has sold more units than PS3 and 360 combined in the US.

Honestly, I think it would be an idiotic financial decision for Rockstar NOT to create a GTA build for the Wii. I know I would buy it, and yes, you probably would too...even if just out of curiosity.

Hmm...

To put it simply, No.

~I think it might be close to IMPOSSIBLE to port a game like GTAIV from a console with teh awesomez graphix to a console with moving pictures drawn with crayons for graphics (it doesn't even get the x in it so yah). Plus, im sure that the current engine used in the game wont even work on the Wii.

~Do you know how much they would have to take out of the game so it would fit on THREE DISKS???

~Crappy online play=YELLOW SPHINCTER

~The controls would just suck, even if they were opted for the GC or Classic controller. I just cant see myself playing GTA with a GC controller, ever.

OVER TO THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF THINGS

~Im sure parents want their kids playing a game where you can pick up a ho, do your business, and then beat her with a baseball bat to get your money back, and afterwards you do it again just for kicks

If they ported San Andreas to the wii and it was $30 I would probably buy it.

That said seeing as they are spending all this dev time on the GTA4 engine they will milk the engine for a couple more games. Only after they've released a couple sequels to GTA4 will they consider a wii version I would say. I'm not sure how manhunt and bully sales went. But I highly doubt they will be good enough to convince rockstar to make a wii version.

If that were a factor there wouldn't be ANY good games left to play much less GTA...

I think GTA with controls similar to Godfather would be pretty kick ass, but yeah we'll just have to wait and see I guess.

I highly beg to differ that.

RE4 was plenty fun on the Wii.
Killer 7 would be damn good on the Wii too.
And despite owning a PS2, I await Okami on the Wii.

Sure you'll get the gimped games that have features docked, ie Table Tennis, but they're still FUN and most of the quality ones WORK.

That being said, we all know GTA4 on the Wii wouldn't warrant a purchase. And you know this as you've so rudely stated.
So you're saying that you wouldn't buy an original GTA game with better than PS2 style graphics that comes to the Wii only?

If it does happen, it'd be like GTA Advance.
Rockstar obviously likes the Wii; they've put out three games on it already. But I'm not sure if they're willing to take a step back in their GTA plans to do it. The PSP titles were different: they already had a relationship with Sony. Them developing for Nintendo is still relatively new.

Nope. I'm a fan of the other team that fell asleep at the wheel: Georgia. I am sort of glad it happened though. Our defensive coordinator actually watches game film now and tries to adjust his defense to the opponent's offense. He even blitzes on occasion these days. Georgia largely has its loss to WVU to thank for that. That late-50's-Howell-Landry Umbrella Defense has really stood the test of time but it's not something a team should use on every play against every team.

As far as ignorance, I just know what I hear from a buddy of mine who grew up in West Virginia. I ask him about couch fires and he says he's seen WV fans burn all sorts of odd things so I just assume it's happened.

What's funny to me is the fact that many of you still assume the Wii is owned by children. I am 29, and I easily know 15 people in their upper-20s and early-30s that own the Wii.

Back on December 16th, 2007, Nintendo actually said that the average age of Wii owners was 29 years old.
