Wii Getting New GTA Title

[Livin in a box]

One of my closest sources revealed late last night that the Wii will be getting a brand new exclusive Grand Theft Auto title that is set to take place immediately after the events of GTA3. Grand Theft Auto: Wii Edition is confirmed to be the working title for this game.

Rockstar is looking to take “full advantage of the Wii hardware, be it internally and through the control schemes”. This game will be using the MotionPlus add-on that will enhance the driving sections of this game, as well as the gun yielding and many other things that will be making use of it. You will be able to walk around the city in ‘gangsta’ style and the game will mimic it, as well as the other walking styles included. We don’t know if MotionPlus will be mandatory, but I hope it won’t be- I don’t have it!

Also included here will be mini-games like Chinatown Wars that will see you driving and, of course, fighting other people.

As the screenshots indicate, the HUD of this game replicates that seen in all other GTA’s.

“Rockstar have been working on this secretly for some time, and they are trying to get the controls perfect” said my source. “This will be a Wii exclusive title and is set to release late this year, with the official announcement coming at E3.”

We hope that this does stay an exclusive, unlike Chinatown Wars, but even if it doesn’t then this still looks set to be a great title. My source has a proven track record of getting things right, so take some pepper with this one- because this is HOT news.

Hot Sauce

Well it has some screens, although anything released on April 1st is suspicious, but what the hell looks pretty nice and fun.

The only problem is that why is the character/scenery etc. so HQ compared to the mini map and font?

I didn't think Chinatown wars would be any good when I heard it was being developed but It turned out great so this one hopefully will be too.

Nice April Fool's joke, but let's keep these to the Edge of Forums

IF this is true it will be great, but I'm doubtful

Full advantage of the Wii hardware?
You mean broken controls and bad graphics?

 

[gotchapt]

yeah, right

 

[TyrianCubed]

thank God this day is about to end.

This looks like an April Fools joke, especially since the screens look exactly like GTA3 and the graphics should be greatly enhanced like in later PS2 games.

 

[Satangel]

Not funny

 

[Maikel Steneker]

Looks exactly like GTA 3 indeed. Fake...

But now that it's mentioned... Maybe the Wii will get a new GTA title this year. Red Dead Redemption should be pretty much completed and we don't know what Rockstar is working on now. Nintendo is confident enough about Q3 and Q4 to release all of their good games (except Zelda) in Q2, so they must have something big alongside Zelda...

*facepalm* guys, those ARE gta3 screenshots ¬¬

I wrote this article so I know whether it's true or not.

So, no... it's not?

Please don't let this be real.

I want to watch this for a little longer.

Probably an April Fools joke.

Nice try, though!

 

[ZeroTm]

Too obvious. -.-

Knew this was an April Fool when I saw the title!
