Rumor: GTA Wii coming fall 2009. Using San Andreas Engine

They report from french website inpactvirtuel:

After the announcement of GTA: Chinatown Wars on DS, speculation is rife. Rockstar typing in the platform's most popular portable ... and if they did the same thing on consoles room?

Several colleagues have asked Reginald Fils-Aime, Nintendo Mister USA, and, if made no reply, he makes no secret that relations between Take 2, Rockstar and Nintendo are now excellent.

He also admits he would love to see an ATM on the Wii.

What we necessarily titiller curiosity and launch some of our purposes is limiers above ...

After spending a few phone calls, sent a few heads and uttered standard kind of family threats, it would seem that yes, an episode of GTA on Wii is already on track.

The game could use the engine GTA San Andreas PS2, given the sauce Wii. Finally, even if at this level, it takes more than Ms. Irma that the true forecast, the game could be announced next spring for an exit at the end of 2009.

Of course, this is noise corridors. Mere noise corridors. A bit like a stapler that fell in a deserted office. Except that here it was hidden in the cupboard and we all heard ...

Posting Rumors
Like it or not, but rumors have always been a big part of the gaming press. So posting rumors is fine as long as you make it absolutely clear in your post that it is a rumor. The rumor should also come from a somewhat credible source. A lot of people make up rumors in internet forums so be careful to check the source before posting.

On the wii? Isn't the wii supposed to be... a next gen system? Hell, maybe they can somehow use the Cod4 engine to make visuals better? Idk.

8 - This could be trouble
I'm sure it would be a cool game, especially with the wii motion plus, but I'm not sure if much of the Wii audience will buy it. No offense to Wii owners (like myself) and GTA fans though. I think Boom Blox didn't sell very well even though it seemed like a great game. GTA just doesn't seem casual enough. Sorry! (I have a feeling someone is going to get mad at me)

Well no, the disk format was too small. The wii could easily run it which isn't suprising seeing as the gamecube did have better graphics capabilities then the PS2.

Mother of god, no!

I was saying this in a N4G news post today that after Nintendo's E3 debacle that a GTA for the Wii wont be announced!

Well...I'd buy it...but seriously, right now if this is indeed true, this wont turn out good for Rockstar as most people will have a go at them for doing this after Nintendo very recently made themselves a bigger laughing stock then Sony did two years ago.

PS2 engine on the Wii. It was great back then but in this day and age it's not acceptable.

Are some people so short sited that they can't give the wii any respect as a console in it's own right? what's so bad if it does have ps2 graphics?

people didn't buy the wii to be blown away by graphics. if this game comes to wii it will sell millions. fact

14.1 - damn monster post sorry
The problem is that was designed to run on hardware from 8-9 years ago, hardware wise the wii is several times more powerful than the ps2 which doesn't say much.

I think the thing that some wii owners forget, is that not all wii owners view gamecube/ps2 graphics as acceptable/enjoyable in regards to the generation we are in, or the hardware specs of the wii.

While i doubt wii owners ever expect to see ps3 or 360 levels graphics, however i would be willing to bet many of times, a wii owner thought couldn't they at least push the graphics past the gamecube/ps2 level.

Now as for people giving the wii respect on it's own right as a console lol this will take some time, lets see it fails on the online part fc are retarded and cumbersome. Making online gaming more difficult than it should be, just copy live or psn and be done with it. Nintendo is just now addressing voice chat being non existent for almost 2 yrs of the console's lifecycle.

Nintendo obviously isn't to interested in selling alot of vc or wii ware games, since they basically told wii owners, delete your old games and redownload them at another time. And if that is too inconvenient for you ts, because we aren't even concerned with this in the slightest at the moment.

Too many casual and non gamer/mini games, a drought of core deep games for nintendo's older fanbase.

The lack of any substancial multimedia capacity ie downloading movies, trailers, not be given some game content songs, weapons maps ect, due to lack of a dedicated storage device. Maybe you can get the new content if the dev releases it on a disc, otherwise your screwed.

And lastly e3 conference, where nintendo couldn't have made it anymore clearer that core/hardcore gamer either doesn't matter to them and they will string loyal fans along to buy 1st party games, with pr damage control.

Or the entire leadership of nintendo has their head so far up their asses with success, that they didn't realize the message that an all-out casual conference conveys to their fans. I would pick the first option.

Third party core game don't sell well to the casual/non gamer crowd and even to an extent the nintendo core base. Really if some of you gamers that buy first party games like they are made out of platinum want core games so bad, how could you let no more heroes, and zack and wiki die on the vine, have they even hit 1 million yet?

And this is console as a gamer that deserves my or other gamers respect as a successor of the last generation of consoles. Also this is without even bringing up last gen graphics as a significant negative, to a ps3 or 360 owner it would be a big one.

The wii has done only 2 things worthy of any amount of respect, it has reached a previously untapped market, 2nd and is currently the console with the most units sold.

Unfortunately 50% or more(my rough guess) of the units sold are to people that think wii sports are a good enough game for them and thats all they will play, maybe they will pick up wii sports resort. Apparently people enjoy the motion control of flailing their arms around to play a game, so nintendo did that right at least.

Once again, the Wii is a day late, and a dollar short. Just like with Rock Band

And here I was thinking at last we're finally past PS2 graphics now that we're moving on to Quantum3 engine. I guess it's up to port-happy developers to prove us all wrong.

Oh wait, it's 2009. Is the title even going to come out this year?
