Is Rockstar still working on the PS3 exclusive?

PSU Writes:

"In June 2007, director of third party relations at Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Michael Shorrock revealed on the Official PlayStation Blog that Sony and Rockstar had come to an agreement on developing a new PS3 exclusive.

"As part of our long standing relationship with Rockstar, and the incredible success for both companies with the cultural icon that is Grand Theft Auto, we've agreed to the PlayStation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios," Shorrock wrote.

"Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of CELL and Blu-ray disc and this deal lets them do just that...This is really a win-win situation for both companies."

President and CEO of SCEA Jack Tretton further discussed the new agreement with Rockstar on Spike TV's Game Head show with Geoff Keighley, confirming that the unnamed project was not L.A. Noire and that Sony was able to release Take-Two from GTA IV exclusivity in exchange for acquiring the rights to the publisher's next franchise.

"What we're really excited about is the next great franchise from Take-Two and in exchange for letting them out of that exclusive (Grand Theft Auto IV), we've got the rights to the next great franchise from Take-Two."

So, what could the Rockstar PS3 exclusive be? Let's take a look."

1 - I was wondering about that myself...

I doubt it's vaporware. It doesn't seem logical that Sony would just back out of a huge business deal with Rockstar.
"What we're really excited about is the next great franchise from Take-Two and in exchange for letting them out of that exclusive (Grand Theft Auto IV), we've got the rights to the next great franchise from Take-Two."
If Sony is willing to give up exclusivity of GTA IV, be sure they want something for it. No information doesn't necessarily mean no progress. Here's hoping anyway.

1.1 - True

I agree. If this is true:

"Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of CELL and Blu-ray disc and this deal lets them do just that..."

Then the game probably is a 4-5 year project. I'm sure we will hear something soon.

1.3 - i really believe its gta v (my personal opinion im not saying im right)

sony released exclusivity from gta iv because of the low instal base at the time so that next time around gta v could be exclusive as ps3s install base would be much greater by the time it releases, and considering rockstar have complained that they couldnt execute all of their ideas for gta iv due to lack of disc space and not every 360 having a harddrive it really seems likely

1.5 - That's funny.

The system with the lack of disc space that doesn't have a HDD on all consoles has the longer game when you add in the episodic content. Apparently there is a way to make bigger games without Blu-Ray.

The install base has not grown enough to warrant console exclusivity again. If anything, the Xbox 360 has the larger install base, so why would they go with the PS3? You can forget creative freedom, it doesn't exist. Developers are in this business to make money. I can assure you that nobody at Rock* or Take Two has said "Let's take longer and make a more expensive game that sells half as well as GTAIV".

The game will not be GTA5. GTA is the cash cow whore on every system and I for one am not complaining because GTA games are one of the few that you can play only that game and have played like 10 titles if you break everything inside up and they do a very good job with everything. Now LaNoire has been so quiet that you could say its a multiplat that is being optomized for the 360. I just don't know. Another Bully type game maybe? I have no idea all I know is that what ever game it is that will be exclusive from one of the sure fire developers like R* I am already excited at all the possibilities.

Its going to be a new IP, and I thought that this was a 3 game deal? I don't know if that means a trilogy, or 3 different IPs.

But yes I am sure that this will be one of the bombs dropped at E3 this year. Sony seems to be getting a lot of info out on its first party titles as of late like Infamous, MAG, Uncharted, and Heavy Rain. It makes since to free up some space for E3 if they have big 3rd party exclusives to show and tell.

I remember when Sony or Rockstar was asked about this exclusive they said they weren't even talking about what it would be, so I doubt it's L.A. Noire since some people already knew about that and the signed exclusive wasn't even in development or in the minds of Rockstar at the time.

This Rockstar exclusive stands in a weird place.

Firstly, LA Noire was being funded by Sony. Team Bondi confirmed this way back in 2004.

However, I think it's very possible Sony dropped funding for this title (hence the multiplatform rumours/liklihood) and moved funding to another title.

I don't see why this is outside the realms of possibility. Sony aren't going to spend money on a game and get nothing from it.

Hey HDgamer, don't get mad at me. If a Playstation exclusive from R* is so important to you then direct your hate to Microsoft because they are the ones showing all the money to make sure it doesn't happen. At least that's what I heard from somebody posting at N4G :)

Utilizing the power of the cell does not equal profit.
Since Rockstar is a third party developer, why in the world would they utilize the cell, if its gonna cost them money.

Not to mention that utilizing the cell isnt anything more impressive then utilizing the cpu of the competition.
E.g Gears of War 2 Compared to KZ2, there isnt much of a difference, besides some pre rendered smoke, which isnt featured in GeoW2 because the unreal engine doesnt support it.
However, the Crysis engine supports it, and will provide the 360 as well as the ps3 with real time rendered smoke.

Why are you trying to compare Gears 2 to Killzone 2 graphically, when Gears 2 cant even outshine Uncharted, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (THE DEMO) Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Wipeout HD (BTW this is just a PSN game)

BTW, it is not just the Cell that is very lucrative for developers wanting to make quality games, it is also the fact that they are not limited to only 7 gigs of storage.

GTA 4 took a large leap in the wrong direction, not because they didn't use the cell processor, but because they could not fit everything on a last gen DVD disc.

If GTA 4 did not add a multiplayer function, add better graphics, add better physics to the game, then the DVD would be fine. (but that is not the case, now is it?)

The bottom line is that we will never have a GTA game as good as Vice City or San Andreas, with next gen graphics, with 7.1 HD sound as long as it is limited to only 7 gigs.

Dvd is not limiting games like GTA.
Dont forget that LA NOIR, Mafia 2, any many other sandbox games are all coming to the 360, and they look way better then GTA4.

But hey, if you prefer to life in your delusional fantasy about supposed power that the ps3 may have, then go ahead.
But i am telling you, and Sony themselves know it as well, The ps3 has no untapped power.
What you see is what you get, and nothing is holding it back, the ps3 simply cant do more then the 360.

"The Xbox 360 doesn't have a built-in hard drive as the previous Xbox and for retail games it uses DVD-9, which is starting to look outdated compared to the Blu-ray Disc solution used by the PlayStation 3.

One of the problems with the 360, and it affects games like Grand Theft Auto if you think about how much content we put in the actual machine, is the fact that they don't have a significantly larger storage medium than the previous systems. It's a slightly bigger DVD disc."

Can you explain who Mart was "spinning". Its FACT about the 2 different resolutions for both games. Saying that the PS3 did get Sub HD due to it having a lower resolution is accurate...where is the spinning?

And Foxgod is correct when saying that the 360 version was sharper due to the resolution being higher on the 360. Now running smoother...only when i installed the game onto the HDD that i found it to be smoother than the PS3 but i don't think it ran smoother when it was reading it off the disc. I did find may pop ins while playing but again only when i installed to HDD that the game ran pop in free.

@TallTony
That comment reaks so much of ignorance that i honestly don't know where to start to correct you. So...i just decided to not waste my time on your ignorance.

Why do you attack every 5 minutes?

You say they are spinning...i am simply saying they are not. It's not rocket science. It's pretty obvious that if something has a lower res then its not as HIGH as the other counterpart...thus being sub par res...

Do you not agree with this obvious statement...if you are a college graduate then you MUST be able to see this.

You're not answering my question.

Mart and his butt buddy are trying to use GTAIV in order to show "inferiority" on the PS3.

A multiplatform game?

Again, why are you defending these jokers?

I think i have answered your question already.

I guess i am "defending" because you stated that they are spinning. But they are not spinning, they are saying that the res in GTA IV was higher than the PS3 counterpart. This is a FACT! And yes you can say that it is sub par as the par is the greatest common denominator, in this case the 360 version being at 720p and the PS3 version being 640p.

There is no spinning as you claimed there was. I am not defending them, i am pointing out your mis-representation of the term "spinning". Mart and Fox are not spinning. Fox's opinion about the smoother gameplay to me is opinion, but not necessarily truth, however when i ripped it to the HDD, i did notice drastic improvements with the game itself for the 360.

Do you not get it?

While that may be true, that had nothing to do with the article. Mart is bringing up resolutions to make it look as if the PS3 is actually inferior when we all know it isn't.

Use your brain dude.

You cannot judge by a Multi platform games because its not a fair judgement.( Due to bias & checks writeoff's).You judge by exclusive because it shows potential of each...

you must have already watched E3 because how you know what exclusives that 360 have...and MS has put out couple titles this year not all of them have been good though...and that fee us gamers pay is so MS doesnt have to charge devs per download like sony does with psn i guess that would explain why that network lacks alot of content

You made the comment that "rockstar will never make any ps3 exclusives" and your saying i must have already seen e3.

judging from your statement not only have you seen e3 you have seen at least two years into the future.

what besides the "incredible" cross game chat that xbox fans are always talking about does the PSN lack. The truth is that the PSN isn't too far behind Live, and just my opinion but I would rather have a free service than pay 50 bucks for one or two more features. I wonder what you guys will say when SONY offers this features for free.

so you expect Rockstar just to give away exclusive titles without any dollars bein exchanged?when they could make more money with the game being on both consoles.....and we are paying that 50 dollars a year fee so that MS doesnt have to nickle and dime devs everytime someone downloads the content...the reason psn is freee because sony charges the dev instead of users

The PSN is full of original content. So SONY must be doing something that the developers like. we (me and you) are consumers so why should you put your pockets on the line to save the developers some money. That just shows SONY is focused on trying please their gamers.

No. I don't expect R* to give anything away for free. thats not good for their business. Honestly I have no idea if its going to happen or not neither do you. If it does it will be some kind of deal that SONY has made with them. SONY has had a standing relationship with R* so who knows what will be exchanged between the two companies.

all i'm saying is for this rockstar exclusive to become reality sony will have spend some type of money just to keep it only for ps3..and why should devs have to be charged for the content that they are giving to us fans?so your saying its ok to charge devs each time someone downloads there demo?

of course R* will have some sort of benefit from the deal. But to say it wont happen is being closed minded because no really knows.

"Why should developers be charged for content they give us fan"

The problem with that comment is that developers don't give us fans anything.
last time I checked developers were not lining up to give games away for free. Try to understand that we are the consumers without us it would be no developers or anything else for that matter. If you feel like you want to keep paying to play so developers can save a few bucks then go ahead but I and millions of others like what SONY offers and love playing for free.

I don't think anybody cried, you see stupid it's call playing it smart your MSFT leaders are so afraid to let third party publishers release a game that everybody can enjoy, because they fear the competitors so what do they do they throw money out there so they can keep it to them self, I applaud Sony for not playing they game why because Microsoft still didn't make up for that 50 million they put out for GTA dlc so who lost out there, it's a difference when its there own company but hey I guess there's no good games for MFST anymore right Halo dead and

Gears of War is epic's

So what do you got to say now?
"Oh but R* is not Sony."

No there not but they are good partners, with a strong relationship plus they state R* wanted to do this, Not Sony throwing money up first saying give it to us,....
