Do you think Sony or Microsoft would try and get GTAVI exclusivity?

I suspect it will be micro-transaction heavy, so even a timed exclusive would cost them money in the long run. They're profits depend on install base so I think they'd pass on a exclusivity deal.

I doubt gta6 story mode will have the same pinache of storytelling like it used to have considering the housers and Leslie Benz all left,.. shyt I don't even think rockstar/take2 is even interested in gta6 solo player like that considering they can focus on the online section and get paid by mtx out the ass...:francis: take 2 ran the series into the ground literally...

The storytelling will probably take a hit but the Housers wanted the story to have a movie like feel. Benz was the main programmer for the studio.

We can thank Take-two execs like Strauss Zelnick.







I bet Devon Weston in GTA V was based on him :lolbron:

Take two is selling 70 dollars games this gen and they are probably looking to make another billion in its first week like GTA5. I doubt microsoft or sony want to shell out for a timed exclusive (at best) for that price

RDR2 on PC was exclusive to the Epic store for a month. but it would take some big money to buy timed exclusivity on consoles, let alone full platform exclusivity

Considering how massive the game is, whoever somehow manages to secure an exclusive even it’s for just a short period of time will possibly sell
Millions of extra consoles alone and will be worth it.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Microsoft did that. They’ve certainly got the money to pull it off. They might not be able to buy Take Two but they can certainly give them 100s of millions to make up the PS5 lost sales.
I don't think either would realistically come up with a price Take Two would accept that makes sense for all parties involved.

I think Sony can gain “exclusivity” by doing a VR GTAVI. Even if rockstar don’t want to do a break version, they can give the project to insomniac or another be developer to do it.

GTA online prints money for them. That and the last game sold an insane amount. Not really worth it. Hell they wouldn't even do the story DLC they initially promised for the game so you think they're doing a VR mode?
