No PS2 Port Reports Unconfirmed.

[Dmac]

Gtaforums.com has a Topic which was made by Jordan and is name'' Attn:The No PS2 Port Reports Are Un Confirmed'' . I think we need the same Topic here to tell people exactly what the Topic name says, No PS2 Port Reports Unconfirmed.

Taken from Gtaforums.com:

''Preface:

1. There's a forum topic with more than six pages that is called "VCS Will be on PSP ONLY" that keeps getting bumped and looks rather official.

2. A podcast-style audio show run by some people that work at 1up.com included a quick interview with some guy that saw a demonstration of VCS a few days prior. He said "the interesting thing about [VCS] is that they are not going to move it to PS2."

3. Some guy named Newbie41 here on the forums took the time to make these words red and larger than normal: "VCS WILL NOT BE PORTED TO THE PS2." This person is referring to a magazine article in USA PSM that says "[Rockstar] informed us that they have no plans to bring VCS to the PS2." The magazine didn't do anything wrong. It was just interpreted wrong by a forum member.

The Lesson:

I know some of you hate when I refer to "the convention" as I like to now call it, but it was on May 12, 2005 when I was at E3. I walked to the Rockstar Games booth which was a fenced-in area with busses inside. I got in with the appointment I had and was ushered through the crowds and taken into one of the busses. I was mainly there for an XBOX demonstration of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but I wasn't going to let this opportunity pass me by without throwing out some questions to this Rockstar PR guy.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories had just been announced two days earlier, and I knew that they wouldn't give me any real details, but I did ask if the PSP game would ever come to PlayStation 2. My exact question was "Will the game ever be ported to PlayStation 2?" and the PR guy said "no." I replied with "never?" and he said "right." This was a face-to-face question. One year and a month later, I went to a local store and bought the game for the PlayStation 2.

The Lesson: Rockstar will always say something along the lines of "currently we have no plans for a ___ version of the game ____" but this doesn't mean "0mg liek what the hell man, there won't be a ___ version of that awesome game!"

Imagine if Rockstar has plans for a PS2 version of VCS, and they told us now. Sony wouldn't sell a lot more PSP's. That's basically it.

Anyway, you shouldn't take anything as a fact unless Rockstar Games confirms it themselves on one of their official websites or in a newsletter. The fan site community trusts magazines that they will get the small details on the new games correct, but when it comes to confirming things as important as "will there be a ported version?," I'm not confirming anything.
