Why? There hasn't been PSP versions of any other GTA game. Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were two completely different games from GTA3 and GTA Vice City. That's why they were independently ported to the PS2.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > They still need to do a San Andreas Stories and a GTA4 Stories before > they can think about this one... Given that the 3 continents of San Andreas are each as large as the entirety of Vice City, at least, they could easily do Los Santos Stories, San Fierro Stories and Las Venturas Stories, if they felt there'd be enough profit in 'em. (I'd definitely buy the PS2 versions, if they were to exist - would much rather have PC versions of the Stories, though)  Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

This version of GTA has exclusive content for 360, making it a better option...then to follow that news up before the game is ever released with news that they will be exclusive to PS3 for the next version, making that the better (only) option.

Guess all those posts about > "Blu-Ray isn't needed for games" should eventually die down. What power? All Blu-Ray gives is a bit of extra storage - 25GB single layer, 50GB dual layer. True, that's more than the 15GB/30GB of the HD DVD, but frankly there's no actual *need* for the extra space. If they actually try and go out of their way to fill it, it'll more than likely end up lowering the quality of the game by quite a bit. Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." - George W. Bush [August 5th, 2004] > > According to their quote "Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can > > truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of the Cell and Blu-ray disc". [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > actually try and go out of their way to fill it, it'll more than likely > end up lowering the quality of the game by quite a bit. Or maybe they've come up with technology that actually needs more storage than DVD provides? It's funny how every console generation has seen an increase in the size of the medium used to play the games, but this is the one that Xbots think won't need it. Is it a coincidence that it just so happens that their beloved Xbox also decided to stand pat? Your evaluation that there is no "need" for the extra space is like a pig commenting on Calculus. You're simply not qualified, Xbot. >>> According to their quote "Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can >>> truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of the Cell and Blu-ray disc". [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Your evaluation that there is no "need" for the extra space is like a > pig commenting on Calculus. You're simply not qualified, Xbot. His statement became absolutely irrelevant the moment he mentioned HD DVD, since XBox360 doesn't use HD DVD for games.

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Perhaps, but his point was that neither of them are necessary for games, which I find to be a funny statement since a) he doesn't know anything about developing games and b) he doesn't have the slightest idea what shifts there could be in game design over the next few years that could dramatically alter what resources are considered to be acceptable. But hey, when the biggest Xbot of them all said that 640K would be enough, I don't expect any Xbot to have an IQ greater than their shoe size... > His statement became absolutely irrelevant the moment he mentioned HD > DVD, since XBox360 doesn't use HD DVD for games. And all things being > equal, Sony isn't going to use HD DVD over Blu-Ray, for obvious reasons. Oh? I thought it *COULD* use HD DVD for games (assuming a company produced one and the user had the HD DVD expansion drive). My comment still stands, though, on the resulting quality of a game if a developer deliberately goes out of their way to find content enough to fill a Blu-Ray disc. Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." - George W. Bush [August 5th, 2004] MS has ALWAYS stated that NO GAMES would ever be released on HD DVD for the 360. That would split the Marketplace for the game, with those that have a HD DVD drive and those that do not. This MASS amount of storage for GAMES is really NOT needed in 99.99% of games released anyway. A CD doesn't store much, but a DVD does. The Xbox and PS2 maybe used around Half of a DVD on most games, or less. Just because the games are now all in HD doesn't mean it takes a whole lot more disc space. Remember, there was quite a few HD games on the Xbox also, just not ALL like on the 360. Game Code doesn't greatly increase because the game is in HD. The Textures can get larger. But it's PROGRAMMING. It's not HD VIDEO. HD Video takes a lot more space then SD Video. Now if your going to put a bunch of HD Video Cut scenes in a game, which lots of Japanese Games are like, then that will take up quite a bit of space. Is is needed? These days not really. I always would skip past that garbage, or watch it once and never again. Most of it with the hardware these days can just be Rendered in Real time anyway, so your not wasting space in HD Video, it's all done in the programming of the game. Far, Far, Far less space. The ONLY way your ever going to fill up a 25 gig Blu-Ray disc with a game, is Lots of large Wasteful Textures, and lots of HD Video in the game. If a Company actually spent so much time to even get 20 gig's of Programming Code on a Disk, it would takes Years to make the game, they would never be able to get all them Bugs in the programming out, and they would have to charge 5 times the price in hopes of making their money back. It already costs a fortune to make a great, Good looking game. Only a few games will ever go the route on the PS3 to fill up a 25 Gig Blu-Ray Disc. My guess Final Fantasy for one. Maybe one or two others in the PS3 life span. Most of the space on the Disc's are going Unused. SONY is forcing all games on Blu-Ray Disc even though they would fit on DVD. People on the PS1 didn't seem to have a problem with 2 or more CD's. So really, what's the problem with 2-3 DVD's for those very few games that need them? Which by the way are normally Japanese games, because once gain, they like their VIDEO in games!!! The #1 Reason the PS3 has Blu-Ray is because SONY wants to FORCE that to be the new HD Format for HD Video's. That's where the REAL MONEY to be made is!!! Sony pays Royalties for DVD. Sony Collects Royalties for Blu-Ray. Each Blu-Ray player and movie Sold. The Movie Video Marketplace is far, far greater the the Gamers on Consoles. How about all them Great PC Games, that can run at HIGHER Resolutions then your HDTV have more Features, and yet, they are NOT on a Blu-Ray Disc or HD DVD Disc! How Come??? Your SONY Suckers. Blu-Ray, the Anti-Consumer format. A Unfinished format, that anyone with Stand Alone players will have to buy a NEW one next year when the final Specs are finally released LATE, once again. A format with DOUBLE the Copy protection. A Format with Region Encoding. A format more strict burring BD-J Discs then DVD with Menu's and whatnot. This is what you want? Blu-Ray would be DEAD as a Movie format without the PS3 as the HD DVD Stand alone players are out selling the Stand Alone Blu-Ray Players. Read up on Blu-Ray a little why don't you. http://www.campaignhd.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GhSsV55ZZ4&mode=related&search= >> His statement became absolutely irrelevant the moment he mentioned HD >> DVD, since XBox360 doesn't use HD DVD for games.

You're simply not qualified, Xbot. Er, no. I'm a PS2/PC/GBA person. I wouldn't willingly own an XBox of any generation - last time I played, my left hand got cramped after about a half-hour because of those huge controllers. Not a Microsoft fan, either. Nor would I buy a PS3, to be honest, given how they f.cked up PS2 & PSX compatibility on their first try, then dumped the hardware portion of the emulation and made that emulation work for even fewer games, then (apparently) announced that they're dumping it entirely... Oh, and cost, of course. Both platforms are out of my wallet range. :P But that's not to say I'd go with a Wii (seriously, they should've stuck with 'Revolution' and get by the supposed problem that it'd be hard for non-English to deal with by translating the name into various languages for the major market) - the controller's too icky for my tastes. I'd probably go with the vast majority of people and buy a DS were I to get a modern game machine. :) Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

The Halo series (not including PC versions) has sold 18.6 million. The PC versions for Halo & GTA wouldn't add *that* much - probably not more than another 10-15 million for GTA and 2 or 3 million at most for Halo & Halo 2. The Pokemon franchise, on the other hand, has sold more than 154.2 million units, so it leaves both the GTA and Halo series in the dust. :) 'Course, that's only counting video games.
