Support NeoGAF

[Deerock71]

This game just hit #2 recently on the Euro charts. How much money has Take Two left off the table by not porting the XBOX 360 version over to the Switch? It's an honest question. Lock and ban if old.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I could be wrong but I guess it’s because the real money is in online, which the switch likely couldn’t handle, so it’s probably not worth it for them.

 

[diffusionx]

It’s about GTAO and they don’t want to support that older platform anymore

 

[Portugeezer]

I'm still waiting for GTA3/VC/SA ports to the Wii. Surely it prints money so they must do it.

Asinine.

They haven't added a 60 fps mode to RDR2 and that game is nearing 70 million unit sold (if it hasn't passed that already).

R* works in mysterious ways.

 

[AJUMP23]

They have left no money on the table. The most successful game of all time.

 

[clarky]

Said this loads of times. its cheaper to buy the game with the shark card than it is to just buy the shark card. That's why its always in the charts.

I don't think the switch would handle the online side of things very well.

 

[March Climber]

Switch?

Wait one year.

 

[ReyBrujo]

They will probably port GTA4 for Switch 2 to fund GTA7.

Near perfect mysterious ways too. Too many hours in their games.

 

[MrRibeye]

I'd prefer it if they keep all hands on deck for GTA 6, rather than pulling some away to port GTA 5 to Switch.

 

[Mephisto40]

TBH with you I think part of the problem is the online would have to be monitored heavily on switch in regards to player behaviour

 

[Hudo]

I fucking hate GTA Online so much...

The Gta 5 simulation of the world, physics and the npcs is probably too heavy for the Switch. And online is probably even harder to implement.

That would seem to be the case. Here's to hoping Nintendo enters the modern online gaming scene with the switch 2.

 

[Drew1440]

I'm surprised they've not ported it over to iOS and Android, like they did with the 3D trilogy.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Can't wait on the switch 2 version of GTA5 and GTAO for 60 Eurodollars (while everybody else will be playing GTA6)

 

[hemo memo]

It must be money laundering right? I mean GTAV is good but not THAT good.

 

[Ecotic]

Rockstar probably feels that the 360 and PS3 versions are now crude first-efforts and don't want to release GTA V close to that state again. It's a branding issue, it would hurt the prestige of the Grand Theft Auto brand to receive a down-port on an ancient mobile chipset. GTA V has been remastered for more powerful hardware, and Rockstar thinks those versions are representative of what GTA V is now.

 

[Dorfdad]

I feel VERY confident this shows up early on switch 2!

That's because they want to sell you the vsync off patch as a "Definitive edition". £60 please.
