This might even be dumber than the 1:1 argument against piracy.

Sony trying to get that marketing deal with Rockstar and GTA6 🤔 I wouldn't be surprised

roadkillers187d ago

Back in the day, this has always been a curiousity if mine. Sony traded 9 month exclusivity for AGENT. Sony obviously got screwed with that deal and I'm sure Sony never went after Rockstar/TakeTwo for it because Sony had more to lose.

Now, Microsoft has too big of pockets to allow Sony to get the headstart on GTA. If anything, there is a background bidding war and Microsoft will not lose. I wouldn't be surprised if TakeTwo has a deal that they get more revenue from GTA compared to other games.

Mr_cheese187d ago

I could be making this up but I'm sure Rockstar paid back the money they got from Sony for Agent. At least that was the rumour.

In terms of Microsoft and GTA, are you talking marketing rights? There are a few factors that may come into play beyond financial package offered. Firstly, which system do they stand to make the most money from. The relationship they have with each company and the extent of the deal offered by each.

No doubt that if it is something they could gain, both companies would chuck the kitchen sink at it.

-Foxtrot187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

Did they ever pay back the money? Was it confirmed?

It just feels strange as every little thing in this industry leaks somehow, someway but we've never heard a peep on this topic. I'm genuinely curious.

L.A Noire was going to be an exclusive, Rockstar said "we'll give you another exclusive if you let this one go multiplatform", Sony said yes and Agent never came.

Did they trade the money for something GTAV related back when that came out or got one of it's re-releases or what?

porkChop187d ago

The $20 million was likely waived because Rockstar gave Sony the marketing rights for GTA V, including a branded headset with a custom audio profile. To be honest though, Rockstar never should have "owed" Sony anything. Sony was publishing LA Noire and spent $20 million on it, then they abandoned the project. Team Bondi needed a new publisher so Rockstar stepped in. Then Sony came calling for their money. If you abandon a project you shouldn't be owed anything.

I have never heard this at all. No reports on it or anything.

One of the most boring franchises I've come across.

Sonic1881187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

I give that title to Starfield now. That's the only game that made me fall asleep during missions because it got boring😴 💤 and I'm not the only one.. Even my PC went in sleep mode by itself 🤔

CantThinkOfAUsername187d ago

The game is living rent-free. Had quite the impact on you, huh?

Sonic1881187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

Not just me but millions of people worldwide including Angry Joe. There's a lot of overrated games out there and GTA6 won't be one of them. Have a great day 😀

Yui_Suzumiya187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

Starfield is the one of the few titles released this entire gen that I've been interested in. Which is why I primarily just play visual novels, JRPG'S and "boomer shooters" nowadays on my laptop. I'd definitely be playing the hell out of Starfield or Atomic Heart if my laptop had more than 128MB VRAM or if I had a current gen console, lol. I've been putting down GTA since I joined this site back in 2011 so it's nothing new. I used to get temporary bans all the time because I referred to it as GTGAY, lol.

andy85187d ago

Never seen anyone refer to GTA aa boring and GTGAY is one of the worst 'insults' I've ever seen 😂

Yui_Suzumiya187d ago

I've tried several of the games in the past and they put me to sleep. I've never been big on open world games unless it's the Fallout series. I did enjoy Red Dead Redemption though.

easternbalboa187d ago

I've logged into n4g after 8 years just to agree to your comment

EazyC186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

You miserable, selfish bastard. You don't have to like it or play it...just don't partake. Life isn't all about you and what you like.

I can't stand superhero movies, but I simply don't engage with them... I certainly wouldn't actively click on an article regarding one just to state my disdain for them.

Asshole move...

Yui_Suzumiya186d ago

Just like how I like harem anime, idol anime, visual novels and loli anime girls when most don't... I also drive this which alot wouldn't, lol .. but I do save lives for a living so I do as I please alot of the time.

That's an insane amount of shark cards.

Ezio2048187d ago

Not at all surprised. GTA is the biggest gaming brand. A new GTA release is a landmark gaming moment.

Yui_Suzumiya187d ago

Anonymous;Code and Grisaia: Chronos Rebellion are landmark gaming moments.

bloop187d ago

Anony-what and Grisaia-who? 🤔 Never heard of them.

JackBNimble186d ago

How many copies of GTAV have been sold now , I've lost count?
Well over 100 million, and you think your opinion means anything?

i feel like this happens to every game. cant please everyone

babadivad30d ago

GTA 5 pretty much pleased everyone.

gold_drake29d ago

i know plenty who didnt like it. so, yea.

Sonic188131d ago (Edited 31d ago )

It's disappointing that this game won't be on PC. Would love to play this game in native 4K 60fps-120fps with raytracing

Tacoboto30d ago

It'll be on PC in time for Rockstar and Take Two to want more money.

You're also not getting native 4K120RT with any hardware out there anytime soon.

Sonic188130d ago (Edited 30d ago )

The upcoming RTX 5000 series should be able to do that.

Abear2130d ago

Don’t worry they’ll sell you it again in a few years…and again…and again…

JackBNimble30d ago

What about the ps5 pro? I keep hearing how great it will be.

Sonic188130d ago

GTA6 will still run in dynamic 4K 30fps on the Pro. Mark my words

kythlyn31d ago

BREAKING NEWS: people have differing opinions.

jambola30d ago

you're telling me not every single human ever will love this game?? breaking news indeed

Kombatologist31d ago

I think the main concern is the ramifications GTA+ will have on GTA6 Online. Fans are already divided about it. Not everyone wants to pay a monthly subscription fee (that has already seen a price increase) for a $70+ game on top of already having to pay for PS+/XBL.

Unknown_Gamer579431d ago

I think a decade of hype will do that for even the best games. With that said, chill out, it’s going to be a great time regardless.

The Unrealistic Expectations Players Have From GTA 6 Are Just Begging To Be Disappointed

Hanzala from eXputer: "I don't doubt that GTA 6 will be a great game, but I believe it'll also disappoint players who are keeping downright unrealistic and insane expectations."

Profchaos36d ago

I remember the same articles were all over the internet when GTA IV was pre release and it blew everyone away.

Vi will do the same

Skuletor36d ago

IV was pretty good but I remember being disappointed a lot of the features introduced in San Andreas didn't carry over or at least not as feature rich versions of them. Car customisation, learning different fighting styles, increasing your stats,, like going to the gym to raise your strength, plus the jetpack didn't return for example.

lucasnooker35d ago

I was the same. I was disappointed GTA IV didn’t even have planes in the game. San Andreas was a much better game to me. Loved V though

Abear2136d ago

In R* we trust.

Will it be as good as we all want it to be? No, it’ll be 30fps, lol.

But will it be the game we want it to be on PS6? Probably!

We are basically guaranteed to get the most detailed open world ever created, so there is that.

GamerRN36d ago

I'm just praying the frame rate is unlocked so I can get 40fps with VRR... That will be very playable for me

D0nkeyBoi36d ago

-It'll be woke (based on all the censorship R* did in retconned remakes of older titles)
-Gameplay will have nothing new to it (it looks lime a suped-version of gta online, according to all those leaked videos R* failed to scrub)
-Still can't enter more than 1% of buildings

Just saying, go ahead and call me negative. I'll come back to this comment to say I told ya so in a year or 2.

Huey_My_D_Long36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Lol Woke

GTA5 and GTA4 is woke by some peoples standards..and those games did well. 1 even best around. nothings ever slow them down
GTA SA touched on inner city violence and the role of corruption of the police in said violence. Even had pot smoking hippie go on about how the government listens into our phone calls, before the NSA spying was a thing.
Im not saying shits not woke. I saying yall have poor media comprehension because the old GTAs are woke by yall standards.

Literally like people calling the New Xmen reboot "Woke"

nevin136d ago

"Literally like people calling the New Xmen reboot "Woke"

In what ways the New Xmen is woke?

KyRo36d ago

I don't agree with the woke comment but I think people are expecting this to revolutionise gaming and it won't. It will do what it does best at its absolute best but people are expecting a monumental change/shift for the industry but that won't happen but it doesn't need to and that's fine.

DivineHand12536d ago

All I want is a performance mode.

CrimsonWing6936d ago

Has any R* game watchdogged us with trailers?

KyRo36d ago

They haven't. They made RDR2 look fun in the trailers though, something that it was not.

BillyCrystals36d ago

@kyro
Unless you're just not a fan of westerns, I truly feel sorry for you if you didn't find joy and fun in RDR2.

KyRo35d ago

@Billy, it's widely regarded as a boring game. It's a rich and beautiful open world but the gameplay is chore to play.

Grand Theft Auto 6: Troy Baker Confirms He's Not Involved With the Project

Troy Baker has confirmed that he is not involved in Grand Theft Auto 6, after speculation surfaced linking him to the male protagonist.

bababooiy37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

The main guy does sound exactly like him. Its honestly weird to me how even the games that dont cast him outright somehow still end up with characters that sound just like him. Its like old PS3 days where every protag had a buzz cut.

anast37d ago

They want to save money, so they use a knock off voice.

seanpitt2337d ago

Rockstar likes to use nobody's in their games..
