Exclusive forever or Exclusive for a little bit? That's the question. Either way I'll be getting it on the 19th.

Exclusive for the PS2 at launch and will eventually be ported to the PC and Xbox.

So it's not really exclusive.

Eventually means about 3 years. Hah, I own a PS2, cube, GBA, and of course PC or I wouldn't be talking to ya right now. I have both GTA's and am very happy with them, though I really hope they take some of our comments into consideration and add greater things, how cool would it be to steal a little kids bike in gta and smash it into a building, more access to buildings btw, snowmobile or something'd be awesome, underwater thing or islandy thing you can actually swim this freaking time, so i really can't wait for this game. but back to the point GTA vice city and 3 didn't come out for 'box till like 2003 late. so it'll be awhile, personally i've got no need for an xbox because all the good games they release are available on some other platforming title (halo, pc, KOTOR, pc, munches odysee, gba, what more need i say) and i've got plenty of exclusive games for the ps2 and the cube to rub in their face if they wanna get all 'xbox is better' crap. But anyways, WOOHOO! Finally an official date. I'll be zooming over to snatch it right up at my local.. whatever. Don't worry, only one. maybe two.

lol best example ever

I don't care about exclusive or not exclusive.

What I do care about is some kind of major addition to the game as after finishing GTAIII and GTA:VC, I'm looking for something new.

Perhaps online play?

Where did you get that from?

So far it is ps2 exclusive with no plans to go anywhere, and even if it does get ported after sony gets their fill it won't really matter.

nice cheapyd, online play would be sweet! dunno about you but i kick ass at that game, and that would give me a good kick in the behind to go finally get a network adapter.. not into army games like socom no real other reason to get them.. besides FFXI...

I don't see how Rockstar can take a step backwards and rework something new for the PS2. The PC and Xbox versions of both III and Vice City made the PS2 versions look something on my cat did in his litter box.

Exclusive or not, I don't care. I'm with CheapyD, bring me something new and not just a new town.

People seem to be so happy that the game is PS2-exclusive (as of right now). Why? I wish it were coming to the Xbox, since that version would most likely have sharper graphics and Dolby Digital support. I care about the game, and getting it in as nice a shape as possible, as quickly as possible, not about whether it will exclusive to one system or another. Even if you only own 1 system, why does it matter that owners of other systems get to play a game you enjoy?

I have both ps2 and Xbox and i prefer to play my Xbox because of the graphics and recent games. When GTA came to the Xbox, i thought that exlusive thing was over. Making this game a PS2 exclusive is not going to help their sales, though it will still sell plenty

Yummy.

1. There will be exclusive games until the end of the world. If it were only up to console makers all games for their particular system would be exclusive.

2. The game is exclusive cause sony wants to exclusively profit from the sales. It will help sony's sales and make a ton of money.

This is a game where if it was released multiplatform form the start i would not get the ps2 version because of the lower graphics. This is also a game that I will not get on the xbox, its pure pc. It sucks to wait though.

Is anyone else sick of the GTA games? I dont plan on buying any more, as GTA:VC was pretty much an update of GTA3. I may buy it if there are serious gameplay enhancements, but otherwise Im staying away.

Cheap ass link

No, I am not since I think gta3 is one of the greatest console games ever made.

And frankly this whole gta hating is old news. There are plenty of sequals out there that don't have major new features or changes, yet no one seems to hate those games or demand major changes.
