Grand Theft Auto V PS3/Vita Integration Is PlayStation's Golden Opportunity

"Grand Theft Auto V, set to release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, is unarguably one of the most anticipated releases of 2012. With PS3 and Vita integration playing an active role in the success of Sony’s latest mobile gaming device, the idea of taking advantage of the technology that exists through the PlayStation platform is breathtaking."

YUP..if I could play GTA5 at home and then continue my game on my Vita, then YES...I'd buy one no questions.

NukaCola5070d ago

I'd like to see this. Sort of would make us happy on a double win because we haven't gotten our San Andreas Stories yet. Would be really nice maybe, to get SA Stories on Vita with crossplay MP modes. That would also be pretty smart to do.

LOGICWINS5070d ago

YUP, Nick makes a lot of good points. Say you get call in the game, you can use your Vita to answer the call and accept or reject the mission by voice.

Vita also brings up the possibility of tag teaming with other players in your location on a mission.

aCasualGamer5070d ago

Yes!

But we need to find a way to make Sony become more active on this type of integration. Make them work with publishers for these types of deals.

Maybe... Instead of buying "exclusive character, missions, DLC" deals from publishers they could buy "exclusive PSV integration" deals?

Use the same money to triple the effect of the marketing. PS3 owners will get interested in PSV, PSV owners will get interested in PS3 and new customers will get interested in both consoles.

We don't necessarily need a GTAV title on the PSV if the costs are too high, but we can atleast get the integration of PSV as a controller for the PS3 version. Like the GPS integration during gameplay or phone ringing. Although i would rather have the PSV version of GTAV aswell as the integration.

If that kind of revolutionary integration is possible then Sony should do it, heck i'd even take part in the funding of that deal.

We need that kind of revolutionary integration, BEFORE PS4 and nextgen consoles.

Imagine:

GTA V mission is available, you get a phonecall on your PSV. You accept it by saying, "I accept" or some other voice command. Then you go to your PS3 version and use PSV as a GPS do drive to your mission. And the one thing that is revolutionary would be if PSV owners could use PSV as a PS3 remote.

or...

Imagine using PSV as a PS3 remote for Fighting games, where you could use the PSV screen as a command list for your characters ingame without pausing.

or...

Imagine using a PSV as a PS3 remote for Resident Evil 6 and the screen being used as an inventory screen.

The possibilities are endless....

BUT, the most important thing is that Sony become more active on making these deals.

Denethor_II5069d ago

That's actually a great idea with the answering your phone. The possibilites are very exciting. I'm using my Vita to write this, and it works really well.

Voxelman5070d ago

but would you buy the game and all the DLC twice?

LOGICWINS5070d ago

Nope. I'd buy it ONCE on my PS3 and expect everything to cross over to my Vita.

DarkBlood5070d ago

yeah that is if they bundled the 2 versions together "logicwins" dlc probably easier to pay for once and works on both if its not coded too differently

tiffac0085070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

If Sony can expand the titles that can do Cross-Play content. Then we may not have to buy anything twice, just once for both system.

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

IF they can pull this off then it can be a big thing.

@Knight_Cid (below)

I think your mistaken, if people can carry over the save files of their games on the go and make progress while on break (from school or work) then that could be a big feature that has a possibility of moving systems.

brodychet5070d ago

Oh god yes. Oh god. That'd be my fantasy<33333333

mugoldeneagle035070d ago

And when this, Call of Duty & hopefully Dark Souls/Skyrim (or any Elder Scrolls game) get released, I guarantee it will sell TONS and we'll see that 3DS redesign with the frankenstick built into the system a lllitttlllee bit quicker than Nintendo planned...

tmanmushroom5070d ago

Honestly, if gtaV came out on the vita, I would buy it day one. Some of my best GTA experiences were on the psp, and I can only imagine how they could integrate the touch screen and other capabilities.

Nick2120045070d ago

If you guys would like your voice to be heard by RockStar Games, please comment at the source as I will be passing the link along to RockStar Games next week!

Knight_Cid5070d ago

it would be a disaster

Anything regarding gta V on the vita is worthless

The psp actually got exclusive gta games. Are we giving up on vita?

MariaHelFutura5070d ago

Most of the games on the PSV are exclusive to it.

FuckSony5070d ago

@ Knight_Cid
Why do you hate the Vita so much?.

brodychet5070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

Yeah, one long private-message session i've had with Knight_Cid, told me that he isn't the smartest guy around. Also he uses the little intelligence he has being negative and ignorant.

Meh. Give the little guy a break.

jacksonmichael5070d ago

He even went so far as to call me a worthless troll once. The irony was painful. Lol.

Knight_Cid5070d ago

are all you trolls and liars lisening to yourselfs?

I actually like and care about vita unlike you

GTA V on vita would be bad because it wouldnt be exclusive and it wouldnt move systems

What I want is something that will help vita

and that is an exclusive gta

Markarie5070d ago

I, too, own and love my Vita, but to think that GTAV on Vita wouldn't be huge is a complete mistake. The Vita is not typically competing against the home consoles, but it is competing against the 3DS, iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. GTAV could easily be exclusive to the Vita as far as handhelds go and that would be a huge killer app for Sony. A full-fledged GTA with proper controls and graphics in the palm of your hand? I'd reserve mine yesterday.

Knight_Cid5070d ago

You are wrong. In reality, its competing against everything.

For example ninja gaiden 1 is not exclusive to vita, just because it isnt on the 3ds. Its on the ps3, and 360, that alone does it.

Hell even sony says the same thing. There biggest fear is the vita becoming a port machine.

That is the biggest reason why the 360 and ps3 basically split saleswise this gen to hit a numbers that arent that impressive, while the psp got a mostly exclusive library and sold like gangbusters

Yangus5070d ago

Agree.
Vita its $250 ps3 joystick?
LOL.

Vita needs exklusive games.(AAA)

SilentNegotiator5070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

I think someone doesn't want the inevitably biggest game of the generation to be on the Vita, because it likely won't be on a certain other portable platform.

Don't pretend like you don't constantly NinTroll and crap on anything Playstation.

Elemental_5069d ago

so many sony fanboys ganging up. I feel bad for ya dude. Dont try to explain the logic of what actually is good for the system to them.

They cant hear you.

Shotcalm5070d ago

don't dumb down the playstation 3 version just to play it on some stupid hanheld.

SilentNegotiator5070d ago

Strong CPU, plenty of RAM, all of the controls it needs (Touch/Track can easily find workarounds to accommodate lack of L2/3, R2/3)....

Why would they have to? All I really picture needing to be different is that the Vita version would obviously need toned down graphics.

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

fr0sty10h ago

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan13h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher10h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty10h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies124h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH10h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025

O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.

Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."

FH5 4th in Europe compared to North America 14th. Not surprising.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 18h ago

I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.

bionicstar1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

Christopher1d 8h ago

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.

To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.

PlayStation and Xbox's most-played games of 2025 were the same as 2024's in the US, data suggests

Another night of Fortnite with the boys then?

I’ve never played Fortnite GTAV or CoD BO7 but I do own GTAV for PS4/5 because I got them cheap.

gold_drake9d ago

i think we should either take those games out, or make a singleplayer list too ha

badboyz099d ago

I still play gta V alot. The others nah.

Popsicle9d ago

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Tacoboto9d ago

What exactly are we not getting?

Did we not just have a 2025 filled with nice games like...

Silksong, Doom TDA, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Split Fiction, Hades 2, DK Bananza, and so many more?

Popsicle9d ago

Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.

My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.

To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.

cloganart9d ago

Such a pessimistic view. This year gave so many good games.

Christopher9d ago

Popsicle, I actually think we're getting more great games because of the slop. Developers are seeing that people aren't happy and taking advantage of big AAA studios not delivering for people.

Popsicle9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Perhaps, and I hope you’re right. A shift is needed IMO
