Gir... - Image 1Gaming news entity SPOnG mulls on the popular rumor that Rockstar may bring the next iteration of the GTA franchise - GTA 5 - to Nintendo's family-friendly Wii console.

SPOnG reports that they put it to a Rockstar rep the other day and asked him about the GTA 5 Wii rumor that they heard. SPOnG says that they responded with "a stifled giggle".

Oh snap! Enough of the bait on that blasted SPOnG article. The real information in that report is that the PSP to PS2 port, GTA: Vice City Stories, will hit North America on March 6 and Europe on March 9. It is likely that the game won't be a full price title.

GTA 5 on the Wii? As determined as Reggie is, we'll chalk that on as unlikely as pigs flying, cows being responsible for crop circles, death machines malfunctioning, and alien infiltrators from a galactic armada disguising themselves as part of the population.

is because a lot of people on the internet have no lives and they get their thrills by constantly refreshing websites just to post 1st on the newest thread. It must make them feel superior in some psychotic way >_>;;

allthough i dont agree that the Wii is not for hardcore gamers, i would like to add that GTA4 isnt even out yet.
Why would GTA 5 come out on Wii, while GTA 4 wont? I dont get it..
Btw to the one above me: wii is for the simplest gamers, as well as the hardcore gamers.. Since they remember the days of ataris, prince of persia, mario etc.
Wii might be a slightly better gamecube, but its still a magnificent little machine wich will benefit from the fact its allready been worked with.

 » So sick of that

How is wii not for hardcore gamers? Its the only next gen system I plan on buy. "Oh its not hi-def" so what I prefer innovative gameplpay over some crap that looks good. For example most of my PSP time is spent emulating SNES and PS1, why? cause PSP games suck.

Or to put it another way, the original starwars arent as graphically impressive as the new ones, but the storyline is 10x better.

Its called substance over style.

First, learn how to spell.

Second, if you want to argue from that angle correctly, the last line of your post should read "style over substance". Trust me, I know how to debate.

"Style over substance" would've contradicted the argument. Oh great debater.

   Re: Jollyrob (Unregistered) - 2007-03-04

So your skill at debating involves insulting ones spelling which may be due to mistyping for all you know.

Secondly, all you did was correct his quote...he doesn't have quotes around his statement of substance over style, maybe he was trying to make an ironic switch of that quote.

Neither of these things really qualify as counter points in a debate, they look more like the feeble rebuttle of a 10-15 year old.

reggie said he is working with as many devs to bring a wide array of titles to the wii, unlike their previous stance because they know they need a wider audience now

I think bashing people with a Wii remote would be quite fun, but you don't need GTA to do that.

What the hell has this gotta do with the PSP? And since when was GTA 5 announced? When did GTA IV come out, 'cause I didn't see it...

Wierd.

 » like the site - dont take it seriously.

it just sum up the quality (heh) of the site. they talk about the 'next iteration', which IS gta 4, not 5... the sites just spewing crap out without anything to back it up... they dont even know how many gta games are out, or where the series is up too... like anything at this site, ignore it for its news value, enjoy for its comic value like the rest of us do.

Any rumors should be banned from this site.

So irriating when people write articles like this and circulate them only to find that a few weeks later, its 100% false most of the time.

 » WTF?

The only thing I have to say wtf for is why would this be a surprise when they alrady confirmed manhunt 2 coming to Wii? You know, continually refering to the console as "family-friendly" does not stop mature games being released for it.
After all the so-called "kiddy" gamecube got resi 4 before anyone else........

I know Rockstar has made more than four GTA games, but this upcoming one will be called GTA 4. It said so on their website...

Why do these comments appear on the Wii page? Why do the Wii comments appear on the PSP page?

This would be a great game for the wii hope it does come out

   by Laz (Unregistered) - 2007-02-22
 » much better

GTA 5 would be a much better game on the wii than on the Xbox 360 or PS3, graphically not as good maybe, but that doesn’t matter, because physically it will be much better, just good at the godfarther, using the wii mote to punch and shoot, hell that would make any GTA game better, as at the moment I found the last few so very very boring.
