Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!

*puts detective hat on*
Go here and click on the third parties flock to Nintendo Gamecube section. You will notice it says
Quote Industry leaders such as Electronic Arts, Sega, Capcom, Activision, Gotham Games and many more will be showcasing their upcoming Nintendo GameCube games at the 2003 E3 Expo.
Well, now if you go back to the E3 page and read the writing in the top left corner it says this
Quote Industry leaders such as Electronic Arts, Sega, Capcom, Activision, Rock Star Games and many more will be showcasing their upcoming Nintendo GameCube games at the 2003 E3 Expo.
A good way to read this writing is to click select all and then copy and paste it in notepad or something. Hmm, i wonder if this means anything? GTA to the cube?

given that Sony bought exclusive console rights to the GTA series until the end of 2004, I doubt it.
Rockstar makes a lot more than just GTA. I'd guess a port of State of Emergencey myself.

Weird. It's probably a typo... or maybe they meant to include both?

State of Emergency?
...sigh.
Someone just shoot me now.

Rockstar hasn't made anything yet that I want to play (and I don't think they are going to in the near future either). So personally I am just curious. It matters little to me either way.

Since it wont be GTA, and I dont think we need GTA when True Crime is coming, its probably some cheapass multiplattform port.
Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!
Post by: Byron on April 26, 2003, 01:58:21 AM
I would probably say GTA on GBA or something.

Most likely it's something like Midnight Club II or something.

Didn't Rockstar Games make Smugglers Run, I didn't know if it was any good but maybe this is another game like that.

geeze stop, don't you wanna be suprized for once. You complain when there are none cause you dig them all up. Nice find however.

Rockstar said they had a big surprise for GC owners last e3, and nothing. Do they make Max Payne? Because I know theres a sequel coming...

Omen: No, I think that's Take Two, who publishes a bunch of Rockstar's games.
Anyway, I can't find this little oddity- it says Gotham Games no matter what I do. It can't be a typo (who misspells "Gotham Games" as "Rockstar Games"?), and I'd be wondering by Nintendo's calling Gotham Games an industry leader at all.
::EDIT:: Nevermind, I found it- you were talking about the quip you can't see all of on the main page. Pretty ingenius find, Mario.

If thats true, it does make alot of sense. Why not port them after theyve sold a billion copies on one console? They'll then sell millions on xbox and GC, but 2004 - probably means late 2004, and by then , i dont think anyone will be too hyped for 2 and 3 year old games..

The game is an exclusive version of Serious Sam.

you have to get that fixed....
who better to make a gta clone then the makers of gta...they shouyld make a gta game and call it somethign else and reap the monetary benefits.
Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!
Post by: couchmonkey on April 26, 2003, 12:04:34 PM
They already made a GTA clone, it was called Body Harvest! Heh heh, okay, so the games are a quite bit different, but it did at least have the car-jacking theme...and airplane jacking and boat jacking. Actually, Body Harvest and Space Station Sililcon Valley were both made for the N64 by DMA before it became part of Rockstar, and I thought they were awesome games (albeit a little flawed). I'd love to see a new game from them! But I would bet that a port of some PS2 game is more likely.

Post by: dmcollin on April 26, 2003, 01:39:00 PM
i think you should post gta just a few more times. anyways i thought the sony gta deal was for 3 gta games, all being exclusive until the end of 2004 or 2005

Rockstar sucks and GTA is nothing compared to Zelda, sowho cares?

Post by: mouse_clicker on April 26, 2003, 04:48:57 PM
Bink: Wow, what an insightful post. You know what else is nothing compared to Zelda? Just about every other game, but that doesn't stop me from playing it. Besides, GTA currently sells like 6 times better than Zelda, which is something Nintendo REALLY needs.

I used to be one of those ROCKSTARS IS OFR SUXXZORS, but i changed, I tried the game, and the game is okay. I like how you can do anything you want. If it came out for Gamecube I probably would buy it, but as of right now I have no money to spend because all of the Nintendo exclusives are eating away at my wallet.

Yeah i think so too.

Look who couldn't care less if either GTA games come to gamcube! *raises his hand* I already have GTA3 on the computer and I'm getting Vice City for it when it comes out. It will probably either be a new game or another smugglers run, which was really good.
Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!
Post by: The Omen on April 26, 2003, 05:48:45 PM
I still think there could be an announcement of the Max Payne sequel. I know its take two, but they're a part of Rockstar. And that Serious Sam game was confirmed months ago, so thats definate.

who is to say the games couldnt be improved with new features and what not, but I do find it odd that they might port games that are 2-3 yrs old by 2004...
as far as the comment about GTA selling 6 times as much as Zelda- it's only because of the userbase of the PS2, if they release GTA on Gamecube it will at best sell a million or two more then Zelda, which is good but isn't quite 6 times as much
how would Serius Sam be exclusive? it's already out for xbox, or did u mean an entirely new Serius Sam game?
my bet (wish actually) is for Midnight Club 2 to come to the cube if only for more cube sales... since i bought it last night for ps2Text

GTA is console-exclusive for PS2 until the end of 2004.
On another note, Midnight Club II.

Imagine Rockstar delaying next GTA game 'till 2005 and delivering them to all consoles???

Post by: mouse_clicker on April 26, 2003, 08:20:20 PM
Dirk: Well that's a pretty selfish thing to say- so you care more about your own personal gaming nitpicks than the survival of Nintendo? Face the facts, man- unless the Gamecube gets a really big 3rd party game/series, it's going to continue on it's downward spiral. Admit it. I don't care if you don't like GTA personally- good for you. But you have to realise it would be EXTREMELY helpful to our beloved Cube.
Ninja: Midnight Club II'ss a good thought, but I assume if R* DID make a Cube GTA game, it wouldn't come out until next year, aka 2004 (are you sure the deal's till the end of 2004?).
Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!
Post by: Ninja X on April 26, 2003, 08:31:59 PM
I'm pretty sure once 2004 ends, the deal ends. Knowing Sony though, they probably pay for another deal.
GTA delayed until 2005? Hmm...intriguing, but Sony would probably be a beast and force Rockstar to release it anyway.
Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!
Post by: Nintendo Gamecube on April 26, 2003, 08:38:56 PM
Yeah, you're right about the deal. Sony would probably make another deal, but if Rockstar is greedy, they might relese it on all systems for more $$$.
Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!
Post by: PIAC on April 26, 2003, 08:48:25 PM

I remeber reading on IGN that the Serious Sam game for the GC was going to be different from other SS games. I wonder what they could do? A SS rpg?
Title: Rockstar games hidden on Nintendo E3 website!
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on April 27, 2003, 05:05:17 AM
guys I just can figure out what sense it makes to port 2 and 3 year old games to systems with (by then atleast) very strong lineups Seriously, who of you would buy a copy of GTA3 in 2 years time, that game is gonna be extremely outdated by then the only way I see of making money with those games is to vastly upgrade and change them, I certainly wont buy GTA3 or Vice City in 2004 when I could spend my money on Metroid Prime 2, Zelda GCN 2, Too Human etc

I would *LOVE* a sequel to body harvest.
it would be such an amazing next gen, imagine that game in a fully living, breathing city like GTA, but with aliens coming down, shooting green slime, and eating everyone.
*drools*

Hemmorrhoid: That's nothing compared to what Capcom and Nintendo are doing. Capcom ported over 3 old Resident Evil games, sans updates. They also ported over BoF I and II to the GBA, which are both very old. Nintendo's also ported over a bunch of really old SNES games to the GBA. I think what will really hurt a potr of GTA 3/VC in 2005 would be the release of GTA 4 (or maybe even 5 by then)- who WANTS an old port when they can get the new ones.
