Boorish behavior, backdated stock options, and a hidden sex scene.
Wired.com take a comprehensive look back at the financial and legal problems that have faced Rockstar over the years as a result of releasing the GTA games.
The in depth article also looks at the criminal goings on at Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two, and reveals further insight into the creators of the GTA franchise and the negative effect that money and success has had on them.
As is they're coins down a sofa, some announced games seem to just disappear. So just where are these missing VR games?
The article is more concerned with where the announced games are. Not about VR demand.
Even with my thoughts on Facebook, they did supposedly sell over 20 million headsets. Not that I think that many are still using their Quest headsets. But even if it's only 10 million users and 5 million are interested and able to play GTA SA, that's still a lot of consumers and a lot of sales.
It just comes down to why these developers are taking so long. Is something like GTA canceled? Is it being held back for a future event? It's not like there's competition in the stand alone space. And now that I have a Quest 3 myself, I'm wondering as well what's the hold up.
For GTA SA
Meta made a lot of budget cuts and cancelled a fair few exclusive game contracts we don't know if this was cancelled but it's possible and this was announced prior to the release of GTA definitive edition which was slammed and eventually moved to be supported in house by Rockstar.
Since then we have just gotten the mobile versions a d they are actually the best way to play the definitive edition unfortunately the consoles never got a retrospective patch to implement the improvements they made in the mobile games.
But for VR we know a VR mode was found in the definitive editions game files thanks to data miners so seeming it was meant to be using the definitive edition as a base given its ue4 that makes sense. And the mode is there right now (some Polish may be required still) I would assume this is ready to go but meta got cold feet and cancelled it given the games reputation.
I do hope Rockstar forge ahead and still just launch it anyway on psvr2 as it's a game I've loved since day 1 on PS2 I'll even tolerate the de version to get it in VR
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
From GTA BOOM: "Recently, Obbe Vermeij, a former developer at Rockstar North, shared some intriguing technical details about the ingenuity that went into creating the cheats for the GTA Trilogy"
... despite everything we all know that Rockstar will make a mint when GTA IV is released, can't wait to see how it looks on the new generation consoles, hopefully no more jerky frame rates.
Considering how many GTA clones there are now, Rockstar are gonna have to do something really special to revitalise the genre.
In regards to the article, what is wrong with all those people who feel the need to sue companies for millions over such little issues. Ridiculous!
i agree, also i wanna say these games rock, i have had every title so far (PS, PS2, PSP, PC) except for GTA London, which my lil brother has haha!
i deff think that they will be great on XBox 360 and PS3, and i will not think about buying it, i will just go and get it :P
also am looking forward to what ever wacky achievements the 360 version will have, as i dont own a PS3... yet :P
I am very interested in just exactally what extra content the 360 will get. It will be a blow to Sony if it is more than just a couple of extra missions, considering all the other games have been PS (console) exclusives. Although judging by the amoun this game will sell, it will probably save rockstar, after having nearly crippled it. Ironic, no?
