Did Phil Harrison cause PS3 to lose L.A. Noire to Xbox 360?

Mike Ferro writes: L.A. Noire, a game being developed by Team Bondi, has received some attention recently due to a rumor that the game will no longer be a PS3 exclusive. This game has remained shrouded in mystery for a long time, with very little detail revealed about the game.

Now over four years later, there is confusion as to whether L.A. Noire, Team Bondi's first game, was ever even a PS3 exclusive. We've tried to dig deep into the nooks and crannies of the web to find out exactly what happened to this project by Team Bondi.

[dro]

y all of a sudden this game is getting head lines bcuz it might not be a exlusive. i personaly forgot about this game, there is know info relased about it or gameplay to make me hype.. :/

and apart from that this gen is first party exlusive that will be doing it; i think that was proven when games like dmc4,re5,ff13,gta4..e.t.c went multi plat.

[XXXCouture]

Sony still have a exclusive deal with R* which we know nothing about

[avacadosnorkel]

Microsoft is not going to allow Rockstar to release any game exclusive to the PS3. Sony might even have an agreement signed in blood for exclusivity but Microsoft will pay the contract penalty on Rockstar's behalf to have it broken and throw in some extra money to boot so there will never be an exclusive for this game or any other.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Avacado that has to be like the craziest thing I have read all week. You r crazy man.

[bunbun777]

that is crazy talk- but sir i think you could be right- but once bitten twice shy- you would think Sony would go iron clad or not even bother.

As it stands now- Let MS take any game-- all real PS3 users care about is that the games are developed with the PS3 completely in mind- and then see about porting a secondary version to the 360, ala Dead Rising to the Wii. Most PS3 users are upset about non-exclusivity (rightly so) not because we are greedy but that we know initial production is curbed and not fully implemented if the devs know that it will be sold multi-platform on day 1.

FF13 will be the possible first real taste of what the real differences are between two games that are not developed with both consoles in mind. I hope.

[avacadosnorkel]

for being able to act civil even if we disagree.

I'm sick of being banned.

[kewlkat007]

Now you can expect the game to be trashed with more ranting about quality and no longer being hyped in any positive manner...

Hey we seen this before...

[Raptors]

And this is my problem with some of the people on this site. Before it was..."Oh LA Noire is gonna blow everything on the 360 cause its gonna take full advantage of the cell and blu ray" to now "oh well, I forgot about this game anyway". Its pathetic how biased some of the people on this site are.

[bunbun777]

You hate how people on this site don't think about what they say and have bias?

Newsflash we are bias- but don't lump us into FB status just yet- we think that better games can be developed and played on the ps3- that's it! I don't hate games based on pure exclusivity that's just silly and petulant.

It's because we think the PS3 can play better games. And if better games is too hard to understand because its really just an opinion- then let me put a name to it-

GoW3
WKC
HR
KZ2

If anyone thinks that these 4 games could run on the 360 and look and function the same then please stand up and be recognized.

Do you have some sort of a link for this claim or do you work for M$ because this sounds like rubbish to me. I remember when i was speaking with a guy from EBgames about M$ getting this DLC and he told me that Sony had a choice to let M$ get GTA on the same day as the PS3 or get an exclusive game with new IP and from that you can see where that went so as far i what I've read and heard from the grapevine the PS3 will be getting an exclusive title from R*. and with M$ trying to claim the DLC is coming out in Nov. and R* saying we havn t released a date yet sounds to me that M$ is pushing for something and if they deliver garbage to M$ I can see M$ demanding there money back which will not happen and R* severs ties with M$ al together.

[Gam71]

sounds like rubbish to me as well.

A link?

also bunbun i think they can be played on a 360 and i am standing up.
Your point?
proof they can't be played on a 360? you're the one making scurrilous claims.

[LastDance]

"Do you have some sort of a link for this claim or do you work for M$ because this sounds like rubbish to me"

Just look at any one of microsofts transactions in the past 2 years.
That's like saying you need proof that the RROD exists or that ps3 has a blu ray player.

[AAACE5]

First GTA 4 was shrouded in mystery, until it was announced as multiplat! Then Final Fantasy XIII went through something similar. And now L.A. Noire seems to be going through the same thing!

All of those titles were thought to be exclusives and released very little info until they were announced as multiplat. Could that mean that possibly any other titles with very little info, are considering going multiplat?

I know alot of games are going Multi, but is this the way for developers to let us know that it is about to?

@Fox01... LightningPs3 is just stirring things up and keeping N4G interesting by pushing peoples buttons! I like that! Which is why I give him/her a bubble when I see a post. Yes, I have noticed the back and forth thing and thought it was wierd until I figured it out!

[thebadrash]

No one with any sense thought GTA:IV would be PS3 only. I think you're confusing exclusivity with DLC.

[DavidMacDougall]

They dont even know if its on 360 yet!

And even if it is its going to be the weaker version because ps3 will be lead and on 1 BLU RAY not 5 (OLD TECH) DVD9's and you bots all know your going to lose one of them discs to your old disc drive

[---------Nona-------]

Absolutely true,the Bots lose once again

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

...They still make games for the xBox 360??? ;-D

L.A. Noire??? Never heard of it!!! ;-D
It's not on my most Wanted List, so i don't care.

[Anton Chigurh]

Multiplat games

Bioshock looks the same after one extra year in development

star wars , PS3 was the lead console and both looks the same

Pure , Turok and more

sorry but, the old tech is still kicking $ony's A$$

[DavidMacDougall]

Metal Gear Solid says "NO" and change the disc

[tommy-cronin]

Who cares if it is on xbox. Oh no L.A Noire is coming to xbox who gives a sh!t. Mabye the company wants to make more money, if it were me I would put it on every console to get as much money as possible

[KBDuB]

"Who cares if it is on xbox." The fanboys care..

[LightningPS3]

Give me a break, that title sounds like now it's 360 exclusive or something. And it's not.

[Fox01]

Now you're a PS3 fanboy? You should get both consoles since you seem unable to decide which one you like best.

[avacadosnorkel]

In theory they could blow a fat wad on any third party game and spend so much that Sony wouldn't match it because it wouldn't make sense.

Never say never on MS having exclusivity

[Gam71]

So it was wholly sony funded and exclusive and an agreement for two other ps3 exclusives.

Sounds like sony do pay for exclusives.

[mepsipax]

oh dear, what's this, both consoles will be able to experience this game? well sir, that just plains sucks, to think that a company would want more money and to have more people experience there game is just ridiculous, no but seriously, this is supposedly a very expensive game so unless sony wants to shell out some major cash to cover the difference and then some than rockstar would rather go multiplatform, and to the rest of you stop being such fanboys, to say this whole game won't fit on a dvd (or two) is ridiculous look at gtaIV, that had tons of dialogue and sounds, non repetitive environments, great animations, good graphics and they fit that on one dvd, not to shank blu ray (which is unreal for home theaters) I admit that we need to upgrade the capacity of our storage discs but blu ray was just sony thinking ahead, I think we'll start seeing problems with storage now (which we are) so yah, let's hope this game can be what I want it to be.

[THC CELL]

this is going to get debunked soon
it might of been in talk to go mp but after people like the GTA team say the state of GTA 4 well
will see

i wont put GTA 5 past been ps exclusive i bet they regret dev for xbox

[THC CELL]

LightningPS3 u have soo much hope for x box
man look at infamous that game looks better than GTA

i bet GTA team can kick them selfs sometimes

[LightningPS3]

I don't think LA Noire was ever officially announced a PS3 exclusive. Just like now it's not even officially announced it's multi.

All LA Noire has been is a bunch of rumors and a GC trailer.

Give it a rest, who gives a sh*t.

And by the way...

If anything Phil Harrison left Sony, cause he new they were tanking. No matter what they say, if an exclusive goes multi, it's because of money and the developers trying to help game sales by reaching the largest userbase possible. And not cause of poor Phil.

[avacadosnorkel]

Same reason Peter Moore left Microsoft

[TheColbertinator]

Interesting what you guys are saying

Phil Harrison leaves Sony,a "sinking ship" to enter Atari who is also a sinking ship.

Peter Moore left Microsoft,"a sinking ship" to enter EA who have reported profit losses throughtout last year and this year.

Do your research people.

By the way,LA Noire was never an exclusive because the main website for the game said qoute "In development for the Playstation 3 and other next-gen consoles"

Understand?

[THC CELL]

http://www.rockstargames.co...

care to show me where it says ps3 and next gen consoles

edit i found it but next time try showing some proof
http://www.teambondi.com/pr...

then again www.rockstar.com states TBA on consoles

[TheColbertinator]

Oh sorry.Yeah it was on n4g a few months ago that the game was on next gen consoles according to the website.My guess is that the game is coming to PS3,360,and PC

[Gam71]

I seen it say that.

Not on here but elsewhere.

[NewSchoolGamer]

had some nice hype going for it UNTIL the devs stopped showing it.

1. L.A. Noire has not been announced for the xbox360, nor has the dev ever talked about it going on the xbox360.
SO these rumors are coming out of nowhere.

2. I really don't care about L.A. Noire going to the xbox360, I don't lose anything with it, Sony knows what they are doing if this is so. If the game is good I'll buy it. It's not like the game is an xbox360 exclusive now. LOL

[Kratos3452]

If the story is true then what does it matter is L.A noir is now multiplatform?

In 2008 and 2009 Sony looks like it's getting flooded with exclusive games so it's not like there is a shortage of games.When I 1st saw the trailer for the game it looked pretty dull to me as it looked like a black and white old 50's investigating movie.It did not appeal to me anyway and I don't ever remember is being a ps3 exclusive title.

[BlackRaven85]

I don't doubt both companies have games that aren't third party, because both Sony and Microsoft have learned not to list games for another year unless it's really ready to do so. God of War 3 was a given because everyone knows it was coming. So to go off and say Sony has 2009 when it's still 2008 is completely insane to think of such. We don't know what everyone has planned for 2009.

[kr9091]

What would Phil Harrison have to do with anything? He doesnt work for Sony anymore, he does not work for Microsoft, and he does not work for Rockstar. So How could possibly have anything to do with it going multi platform if it is true? Retarded article.

[RememberThe357]

Because they are saying that the game was dropped by Sony a while ago, back when Phil was still at Sony.

[---------Nona-------]

Nope

[ape007]

the REAL question is

does la Noire take advantage of blu-ray space?

if not,then no problem port it

as a gamer,all I want is an open world game that fully use the latest tech

I guees the 360's dvd will be one hard nail

[pp]

Since when was it not xbox360 exclusive

[DavidMacDougall]

I usually comment to tell you your a fool but there no point because your to dumb to reply with anything good there is no fight to be had just you gettin b!tch slapped by anybody with a keyboard

EDIT : See 1 post down

[mirroredderorrim]

Exclusive? No. Lead-platform.. maybe?

[Gothdom]

By my guess, R* or Sony will comment on this monday or at least this week. There's a recrudescence of the rumors, and either if they are true or not, we'll get confirmation quite soon enough.

In fact, it's kinda free publicity. Now everyone talks about L.A. Noire, yet nobody knows what it is yet. Quite intelligent I'd say.

[cheapndirty]

Never heard of it... I am too busy playing "action shooter sequel #__ "

[RememberThe357]

word

[Fishy Fingers]

Rumours about rumours....

[RememberThe357]

Ain't it something?

[Closing]

I could really care less about this game either way.

[heyheyhey]

all i care about is that the game doesn't get gimped because of DVD like GTA4 because it looked intriguing

[Xi]

Like gta4 did for 360 because of the development on the ps3 sucks.

see, I can make baseless claims too!

[heyheyhey]

i don't care if it gets delayed the amount of time GTA4 got delayed... there will be other games to play in the meantime

what i do care about is the quality of the game when it does ship... let's do some maths here

R* had to fit GTA4 on DVD disk because you can't do open world on a multi-disk layout right? this was to cater for the 360 (obviously)

do you not think they would have had more freedom if they had a whole BD disk to work with, and therefore improve the quality of the game?

reports of LA Noire being PS3 exclusive were based on developers stating they need BD to make the game and fit it on a single disk, if they need to bring the game over to the 360 as well- they would have to gimp the game to fit it on a disk

this is what im concerned about, i am not making a baseless claim

[Xi]

so that's why the xbox version ran at a higher definition and they had to increase differing so that it would resemble the ps3 version? Sorry but the higher the resolution, no matter what excuse you use, the more storage required, if any version was cut down it was the 360 version for the ps3.

The size of games will always get smaller because the cost of games keeps getting bigger, nothing was cut from gta4 because of dvd, if you think anything else you're delusional.

Also, as time changes, so does a developers ability to fit stuff into a disk, compression tools, coding an streamlining all helps. Not to mention hd use is now optional. Even bizarre said that if they wanted to they could now make a day and night cycle fit onto the original dvd9, something that wasn't possible during it's development.

[Gorgon]

"so that's why the xbox version ran at a higher definition and they had to increase differing so that it would resemble the ps3 version? Sorry but the higher the resolution, no matter what excuse you use, the more storage required"

Rendering resolution has NOTHING to do with disc space. If you install a game on a PC and change the resolution does the size of the instalation change as if by magic? Never saw that happen on my PCs...

[Gam71]

not so much of a baseless claim as it was said by rockstar that the 360 was ready but delayed so they could have a simultaneous release with the ps3.

[JD_Shadow]

Is it possible to explain to me who's on WHAT side on this argument? Because you BOTH have ME confused as to what positions either of you are taking on this point.

[mepsipax]

well, when the dashboard update goes live sometime this fall we'll see how much space gta IV is, if it's pushing the extent of the dvd threshold then you will see, but as for the higher resolution thing, yes a higher resolution does mean more space is required, just that the ps3 maximum resolution was lower doesn't mean gtaIV on the ps3 is smaller if anything it would be larger as blu-rays stores things strangely, anyway the reason gtaIV on the ps3 had lower resolution was that rockstar didn't take the time to fully use the PS3's hardware, only japenese devs know how to use the ps3 hardware to it's full extent, no jk but seriously, and don't use MGS4 as an example (in no way dissing it) but just think of all the high quality animations and sound files they used in that game in all the cutscenes plus they probably wouldn't have used compression to be more efficient because they had all that unused space on the BD so don't underestimate the power of the dvd and don't think we're using blu ray to it's limits yet (or if we'll ever in the ps3's lifetime.)

[pp]

I'm looking forward to L.A. Noire on my xbox360 i've heard its giong to be a great game

[THC CELL]

@ playstation power aka PP change ya name to XP

anyways this will never come to xbox and i would love for pp to tell me what this game is about yaaawn i thought so
will see when this gets debunked

[KBDuB]

Listen here, idiot. =D

"anyways this will never come to xbox" That's what you said about: Assassins Creed, GTA 4, Final Fantasy and plenty of other games. So, you might want to take your panties off just in case, cause I'm sure you don't want to get your panties up in a bunch, do ya?

[na2ru1]

So if it does anything new apart from being another sandbox game, i dont think its worth keeping it exclusive.

[Xi]

"We've tried to dig deep into the nooks and crannies of the web to find out exactly what happened to this project by Team Bondi"

trust, me, you do not want to go looking into the nooks and crannies of the interent because the only things you'll find will leave large, emotional scars that can never be removed.

[belal]

pp said that la noir is going to be a great game remember it. IF this is ps3 exclusive then pp you should just shut up for the rest of your life on this site ;)

[random6789012345]

if you have read the article says that there is suppoused to be there games coming out excusilvely so if they broke the contract what would happen? and rockstar took over this game so its most likely gonna be a gta rip off set in the 40s, but true everyone will have to sit back adn wait to see what happens but doesnt look like it will be out for a while

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

poor droids, got nothin but one game to watch... opps I mean "play"

[ThatCanadianGuy]

I would take MGS4 over every game on 360 combined.Seriously.
Thats how good it is.

[StrikingDmc4]

@Ali the Brit Smoker(Brits shud brush their teeth)
Gears of WAR also and Mass Effect and Bioshock and also all the multiplatform games such as COD4 and Devil May Cry that are better on the 360

[juuken]

StrikingDMC...I'm trying to be nice these days but you are a racist f*ck.

What does Ali's nationality have to do with the article or this discussion to begin with? Can't you morons discuss something without being racist pricks? Haven't we gone through enough racism in this world already?

This same British guy you're talking about...his ancestors help fought against the Nazis back in WWII so sit down and shut the f*ck up if you please.

And Jason...shut up. MGS4 is one of the best games on the PS3. Don't get your panties in a bunch because it's not on your broken ass system okay? Oh, PS3 owners watch the game? Then how is it that 360 fanboys wanted this game on the 360 so badly?

Seriously, grow up.

Poor bots...bragging about two IP's worth mentioning when these *droids* get to experience some new games. :)

[StrikingDmc4]

btw im not american i moved to america you twat pitty your only game thats good was MGS4 of the entire ps3 life cycle so far
edit:@ jukken
i am not racisit what about ali goes off on americans why dont you step in there and manners him, as i can see your very biased

[juuken]

"i am not racisit what about ali goes off on americans why dont you step in there and manners him, as i can see your very biased"

If you're not racist, then why say something like that? It was rude to begin with. Ali simply prefers the PS3. I simply prefer the PS3 even though I'm getting a Wii and one of the new 360 models if they're more reliable.

I'm biased?

Nice rebuttal for when I pointed out who wrong you were. :/

[na2ru1]

Brits having bad teeth is the lamest tale ever made. too dumb to come up with anything original? its ok my dyslexia friend. if anything, UK is supposedly getting fatter more than anything after following american lifestyle.

[KBDuB]

Uhm.. "StrikingDMC...I'm trying to be nice these days" You're kidding... right?

You're such a fcking hypocrite. Lol.

[juuken]

You really want to start with me...don't you KB?

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Alright, let's try to be adults here.

Juuken and KB, there is only one way to solve this problem...

[KBDuB]

TwoChin.. I aint trying to start with you. I'm just asking a simple question, whats wrong with that? And, that question is, You're kidding... right? (about trying to be nice.)

"Poor bots...bragging about two IP's worth mentioning when these *droids* get to experience some new games. :)" Well, come on TwoChin, I thought you were trying to be nice? "so sit down and shut the f*ck up if you please." What happened to being nice?

You're a hypocrite, I don't know why you don't agree with that..?

And, @Ali_The_Clit - "i own both consoles so i know what i mean when i say the PS3 simply has the better exlusives" I do too, that's why I can say the 360 simply has the better exclusives. See, it's an opinion. Do you see that? Just cause you say it's better, doesn't mean everyone will agree with you, ya fcking twat.

[KBDuB]

Oh, and here's a history lesson for ya.

"This same British guy you're talking about...his ancestors help fought against the Nazis back in WWII so sit down and shut the f*ck up if you please."
Just to let you know, even though I agree with you, they weren't too much help. The biggest allies, which weren't really allies, to the Americans, or the Allies, was actually the Russians..
If the Americans, which Ali likes to diss, didn't get involved with the war, you can thank the Japanese for that, the British would be speaking German right now.. There is two reasons why the British didn't get defeated during the war by the Germans.
1. Because Hitler decided to attack the Russians, which forced the Germans to stop fighting the British cause they realized that the Russians were a more difficult opponent. And, besides the Germans didn't want to fight on two fronts.
2. The Japanese attack the Americans, and because of the pact the Axis had together, the Germans, and Italians, declared war on the Americans, which quickly sent troops, and such, to Britain.

If those two things didn't happen when they did, the British would have been as much help as the Polish..

The two biggest threats to Hitler and the Nazi's were the Americans and the Russians, and Hitler knew that.. in WW2 that is. But, after the Americans entered, and the Russians turned sides, the British sure did help, a lot.

no there not there the same how can dmc4 be any better? if anything its better on ps3 u fackin tard and cod4 would be the same online jsut depends how good you are against ppl whats wrong StrikingDmc4 you socially handicapped?

[StrikingDmc4]

as though you need to go back to school because you cant understand what im trying to say. Who said anything about online in COD4?

[name]

Didn't an article a while back say LA was coming to ps3 was "not so exclusive" but it "definetly aint going to the 360". Bandi said that themselves if you forgot ALREADY. If anything the games going to PC.

http://www.kotaku.com.au/ga...

The devs saying "it definetly aint coming to 360" can't even stop these rumors.

[TheColbertinator]

I didn't know there was a Kotaku Australia.But this was back in 2007 so its still up in the air.LA Noire will be a historical recreation of Los Angeles in 1947...sounds incredibly difficult.

This could be the most ambitious project yet

[belal]

dmc was better on ps3 the devs said it!

cod4 too!

bioshock is too better hahahahahahaha you idiot!

[DA_SHREDDER]

So who knows if its even gonna be good. Also, its not like its 8 days and therefore its not that big of a deal if it goes to the 360. I mean, who wants to play a game that is only 7 gigs on their precious ps3 anyways? Its gonna be GTA4 all over again.

[random6789012345]

wow you deffinetly did are you retarted read what you wrote10.3 - oh and
@Ali the Brit Smoker(Brits shud brush their teeth)
Gears of WAR also and Mass Effect and Bioshock and also all the multiplatform games such as COD4 and Devil May Cry that are better on the 360 , hence the cod4 part you loser wow your dumb man wow me go back to school? at least i no what i wrote stfu

[KiddyBrownTurd]

I always knew I liked that guy.

[JD_Shadow]

It wouldn't matter now, right? Since he's no longer AT Sony, they would have no other reason (if any to begin with) to be MAD at Sony.

That in of itself bring suspicion to this "rumor" (more like, stuff being pulled out of some person's ass).

And, even if it DID go Multi, it would be PS3 being the lead console for development (much like FF13), so it would be the 360 to get the gimped version.

I think the trouble with this possibility (and why you're seeing such comments) is still this: Why is it that it's ONLY the PS3 that loses exclusives and no one else is ever allowed to? I've yet to see any 360 exclusive lose any timed-exclusivity for ANYTHING, and you KNOW nothing MS is putting on third parties to handcuff them is THAT reaching unless they want to break some anti-trust laws. I know the same people who are telling the "Sony fanboys" to stop complaining about exclusives being lost would sh!t themselves if the 360 suddenly lost, say, Gears of War 2 as an exclusive, or (GASP!) the two exclusive GTA4 episodes. If that ever happens, the pot would DEFINITELY meet the kettle.

[-LETS-ALL-GET-ON-]

Sony does not need anymore exclusives it already has enough but the fact that this game was set to only be release for the PS3 it has astounded me that now they say it may also come to the Xbox 360. I feel this is something the Xbox 360 Fanboys have conjured up considering there only First Party game to hit this year is Gears 2. Any game from now on that comes from R* with any big paid bills for it will be exclusive to the PS3 as we already know. R* have a deal with sony, god knows what they will be doing in the future. I am sure that GTA was first released for the PlayStation then about 2-3 years later got released on the Xbox. Could be just me but i am sure R* are close friends with Sony!

[JD_Shadow]

First party exclusives are one part of the puzzle.

It's third party exclusives that are the issue here. Everyone is saying that it's third party exclusives that are dying, but it seems they are dying for everyone else EXCEPT Microsoft, who seems to be just buying and buying and buying to make sure they secure up third party exclusives forever and ever without any chance or hope of them ever losing even ONE, and how dare anyone else acquire a third party exclusive without someone trying to slime it in some way.

Using that logic you mentioned, you could make Microsoft AND Nintendo guilty of not needing any more exclusives.

[skyline2003]

Hmm... doesnt this article from 2007 say the LA Noire is not exclusive to PS3?

http://www.efluxmedia.com/n...

[jack who]

so many cry babys

[Sanzee]

NO, console sales did. But considering the PS3 doesn't have alot of exclusives, they probably should have at least stuck with this one for PS3. I'm an Xbox Fanboy but I'm a fair rival to you Sony Fans. I'm still going to buy this game but no doubts you're probaly let down a bit. Resistance II should still deliver. I think Killzone II won't deliver - just my opinion. But Resistance 2 I'm honestly worried about. It may turn out to be an App Killer

[TheDesperado]

Sony decided to get rid of it. It was a money pit. It may turn out to be good, and Sony still gets the rewards from that (considering how many idiots there still are that don't know it was multiplatform, and considering that it still gets released on the superior PS3)

[Bigpuff]

damm cant we have one freaking third party exclusive without microsoft buying it!! i hate those guys!

I have both machines. I could care less about Exclusives. I'm not saying this article to be correct, but screw Exclusives... seriously. I hope more GAMERS get to play the great games no matter what their console of choice is or what they can afford.

Exclusives provide poop for fanboyz to argue about. Funny thing, I think it's the non-exlusive, third party titles that actually show the real performance benchmarks between the consoles, something FaNbOyS love to argue about. LOL.

Looking forward to this game on EITHER console.

Screw Exclusives = Better for GAMERS = Bad for da' HaTeRs.

Most "A L L" Games that aren't first party developer/publishers games will be multiplatform. Why? .....Money.

It's costing millions upon millions to design, develope and publish big games.

p.s. To the sony fan wannabe's at the top of the post, how is it that if Xbox 360 gets this game and makes it multiplatform, that the 360 is a loser from that? Please stop talking b/c your making the other sony fans look bad and the others aren't bad, there nice guys.

IMO this is just a publicity stunt either pulled by Team Bondi or Rockstar. People haven't heard about this game in a long time, and except the trailer since 06 there has been no news on this. I think they are just trying to market this game since no article or video of this game has circulated over the web since the last year. And since the completion of the game is coming to a close, wouldn't they need to put this kind of speculation out, so people are talking about this game. I mean nobody wants to lose money, and this is free publicity. Without showing videos or anything. I'll wait till I hear either from Rockstar or Team Bondi.
This is solely my opinion and doesn't have a reflection on the outcome of this games platform.
