True, but is this still in affect? GTA IV is being released at the same time on both, so wouldn't you consider Sony's exclusivity to be gone? :/ Most likely not, but maybe for the classics? Not sure if they'd spend their money on it though. Original GTA Master said: MishoM said: But you're forgetting something, aren't the first two GTA games also out on PC? And the games aren't Sony's property by any means, Rockstar owns them and can do as they please with them. Now if Sony has some sort of contract (which I doubt seeing as how III-IV have all been on the Xbox) then that's a different story. Yeah...they were on the PC...not the XBox... "The games aren't Sony's property by any means"...sort of like the downloadable content? MishoM said: The way I see it, GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas will all be released on Xbox Originals before GTA IV hits stores. I also think that GTA and GTA II will be out on both the PSN and Xbox Live Arcade before GTA IV is released. But whatever, time will tell I suppose. It can't be much longer before they make some sort of announcement regarding this, right? What is this "XBox Originals"??? If they're what I think they are...then can't they only consider San Andreas an original since GTAIII and Vice City came out on the PS2 before the XBox? If they were going to XBox Live! as well...don't you think they would have announced that already??? This seems like the same thing as when we first heard about the downloadable content for the 360. Xbox Originals are the Xbox 1 games downloadable from Xbox Live. They have Indigop Prophecy, Halo, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I highly doubt GTA 3, VC, and SA will make their way to Xbox live. And they can't be consider Xbox originals since they appeared on the PS2 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarrem Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I thought Xbox Originals just meant games on the original Xbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still doesn't look like its going to happen anytime soon. R* giving MS all the fun isn't a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 rockstarrem said: I thought Xbox Originals just meant games on the original Xbox? It does. But seeing how slow Microsoft releases games over Xbox Originals, I doubt we'll be seeing GTA III-SA anytime soon. As for releasing the classic GTAs over PSN/XBL, hell no. We can get them for free right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought of the GTA games to be Sony's though, and I think a lot of other people have too. I guess it is possible it can change. Me too, but it seems to be changing to me. Sony gained Rockstar's respect by staying loyal to them and thats now changing because Microsoft is just bribing Rockstar into their own hands. Disgraceful. I hate all this Rivalry between consoles.
