The French site which posted Sony's NGP specifications correctly well before an official announcement from them, and who also very recently claimed Nintendo next console is known internally as "Project Cafe" (as well as giving a brief run down of specifications in line with information from other, unconnected sources), is it at again. 01.net is now reporting that GTA5 will be one of the launch titles on Nintendo's next console, lol.
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto is a sandbox-violence game, that has drawn attention all over the world, and has pretty much become one of the most noticeable criminal-sandbox franchises ever.
"That French Site" is now saying GTA5 is a Launch Title for "N6"
" Hey, those guys are one number away from a lawsuit! "I like you.
Seriously, this makes sense. Even if they keep it cheap, the N6 will theoretically have the best hardware on the market. GTA5 might not be exclusive to Nintendo, but I can see it coming out on a Nintendo platform no problem.
" Well, it wouldn't be the first GTA title on Nintendo hardware, but I'd be surprised if this was true. "I remember they claimed Chinatown Wars bombed because of the DS userbase, but after the PSP version bombed I think they understand as long as they make a GTA game like the ones that put them on the map, they'll be fine.
" @N7 said:I LIKE HIM MORE!" Hey, those guys are one number away from a lawsuit! "I like you. "
It doesn't make sense to put so much money into developing an engine and only using it for the few games that they have used it with. I doubt the engine could easily and cheaply be ported to the new hardware. It makes more sense to use the tech on at least one more GTA game before moving on. Also, given how disappointing the last 3 GTA games were, if the next one was on new hardware that I don't give a shit about then that makes it easier for me to ignore a GTA release for the first time since GTA2.

Whoever does not believe that this is possible is incredibly short-sighted and does not understand how the games industry works.
Neat. Maybe there will be a "Mario" unlockable to go kill hookers with.
I believe this and it's very possible. Especially with Nintendo's seemingly new initiative to reach the "hardcore" crowd once again. They had showed the Saints Row game as an upcoming title upon the 3DS' revelation, I can easily see them continuing their mature gaming trend, expanding their audience.

" and how can they achieve that with a console based on waving a stick ? do you think the controller will return ? "Recent rumors have stated that the controller is not simply a revised Wiimote. There will apparently be a touchscreen (this one's a very probable one) on the controller, it may have dual analog sticks and other stuff. The focus of 'Project Café' will probably be less on the motion control aspect and more on whatever else Nintendo's pursuing this time. These are still rumors, but I would assume that if GTAV was to be introduced as a launch title, Rockstar are the kind of developer's who wouldn't want to fuck their game up with needless motion controls. Perhaps with the new console, motion control won't even be prevalent among the newer titles. It may just be an optional features developers can implement in their games.
This project cafe is simply the 3rd console of the "Xbox360-PS3-N6 generation". It will be more powerful than the other two but multi platform games will end up being very similar. If those 3 consoles have a long run (10 years) then the Wii will be remembered as a hugely profitable side project.
@Brendan said:Sorry, poorly worded post. I know the rumour says as such, but I think it's more likely that while there are any number of GTA games they could make, it definitely doesn't have to be the next numbered one.Who says it has to be GTA 5 to be a GTA game for Cafe? I'm sure they may do a standalone game for it, but probably not the next numbered one.The rumour. It could be a new Chinatown Wars.
