You would think that with all of the success of Grand Theft Auto IV on the 360 and PS3, Wii owners would finally hear news of GTA IV coming to Wii. But not yet. Sure the graphics wouldn't be as good as the PS3/360 versions. But people saying that gameplaywise GTA IV is too big for Wii is pure crap. I know for a fact that the gameplay can be on Wii because Smash Bros. probably has more content than GTA IV. The problem is that Rockstar and Take 2 are afraid that GTA IV won't sell on Wii. But the Wii isn't just a little kids' system, and mature games have done well on the Wii, No More Heroes and RE4 have proven that. So hurry up and make the damn game on Wii, Rockstar! Wii owners like me are dying over here!
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Sorry, theres no way the GTA4 as we know it would ever be able to be ported over to the Wii.
Unless you are talking about the most blocky characters, and loading screens every virtual mile, then maybe.
The Wii has some power, but your forgetting that both the PS3 and the 360 have hard drives to help lessen the load of data.
The 360 version had alot of trouble with loading data if not installed to the hard drive.
If your expecting to get the same game as the 360 and the PS3, you are sadly mistaken, that much is impossible, as you can look to Lucas Arts for that reason, they had to make a completely separate game to the Wii vs the 360 and PS3 versions.
Also, rockstar has opted to stay away from the Wii, so you may be waiting for ever if your crossing your fingers for something within this year, or even next.
Do you even remember the launch of No More Heroes in japan? It bombed horribly over there. Even though I love the game for what it is, I don't think it is one of the absolute bestsellers (in case I'm wrong, please correct me with actual numbers, I really hope it sells great).
In addition, as GutZ31 already said, the Wii just doesn't have the raw power. The amount and quality of the engines used in the PS3 and XBox360 builds of the game simply doesn't fit the Wii. How many CPUs do both have? I think the X360 has a tricore and the PS3 has CELL - those are miles ahead of the Wii in case of number crunching. The analogy to The Force Unleashed fits perfectly. In case you don't believe me, tell me your reason for the Wii not being HD-enabled.
So, if you want to play GTA4, go and buy either a XBox360 or a PS3 and play it on either one OR wait until they release a PC version.
"I know for a fact that the gameplay can be on Wii because Smash Bros. probably has more content than GTA IV."
What does gameplay have to do with content? Plus, I love the construction of a "I know for a fact - probably" sentence. Gameplay is something purely subjective. Most people say that Resident Evil 4 has great gameplay - it doesn't appeal to me, though. About content: Since you mentioned SSBB, did you forget how many Wiis had magical problems with the disc? Did you know that the disc was one of (if not THE) first Wii game to actually use a DL-DVD? GTA4 uses a DL-DVD (on XBox360, what I mean is the amount of data to hold). Content wise, it would most likely fit, realizing that R* would downgrade every graphic (the Wii can't do 1080p or even 720p, so downscaling everything to get along with 480p is just normal) and every object's polygon count as well. Yeah, I'd say it would fit. But the lack of power would simply not allow the same game on the Wii without seriously gimping down things like lighting and physics. Don't tell me something about Boom Blox - I don't think R* would sit down and reinvent the engines they used, it would just take too much time and cost too much money.
GTA IV could in NO WAY run on the Wii.
Well....maybe at PS2 levels, so that means no procedural animation or proper physics, lol...
gta 4 to the wii using the old san andreas engine
Im very sure that it will be a much better game.
rockstar need to forget about realism,immersion that criples the gameplay.
what's the point of the powerful engine(rage) and euphoria while the gameplay is not that much?
they just talk about is the wii powerful enough to handle gta4? or somthing like that
but they miss the general point of videogames,is the game fun or not?
halo1 vs halo3,halo1 much better
perfect dark64vs pdz,pd64 hands down
burnout paradise vs burnout3\reveng,3\r much better
splinter cell:da vs splinter cell:chaos theory, ct much better
and finally:gta4 vs gta:san andreas,san andreas without a doubt
just to show you guys that graphics aren't everything. it's a collection of many things.
