Video Games: GTA V won't come to Wii U!

Following this idea that Take-Two's content goes where the consumer goes, Zelnick spoke about the company's relationship, or lack thereof, with Nintendo and the Wii U console.

Take-Two believes that Wii U just doesn't have the consumer base to warrant its attention right now. "Our strategy is to meet consumers where they are," Zelnick elaborated. "If they're buying hardware, we'll be there with software. That said, we make these really big, AAA titles that work on some platforms, but not others."

WHO ever said it would be on the Wii U?

Attitude

The games been out for months.
I think everybody's realized this by now.
There's really no point to this thread or that IGN article.

I'd be surprised if it were coming to the Wii U. Good

I thought it would... considering the PS3/X360 assets shouldn't be hard to port to Wii U. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard, right?

I'm shocked.

Kiiiii

Save-Me-Oprah

Were they actually expecting it to come to Wii U?

The delusion... like...

Wii U games can't actually run with high-resolution textures. RS games would have to not only remake the game with the GamePad in mind BUT also use less detailed textures (even though the Wii U can produce slightly clearer graphics than the PS3).
It's mainly because the Wii U isn't fast enough to keep anything high-res running smoothly.

With most games on the Wii U, the graphics are clear but simpler.

Nintendos aren't made for games like GTA V

Wii is for 3yo to 12yo kids

I think the only Nintendo GTA is China town.

I think it's safe to say why they didn't bother again.

I'm pretty sure you're basing your argument on that picture.

That is a case of developers not wanting to optimize a game for a system and cutting corners so porting is easy.

Without even going into technical details, the Wii U is definitely more powerful than the PS3.

GTA not on the Wii U, what's next? Tomb Raider not coming to the Wii U?

No I'm basing it on an article in which people took apart the Wii U and said it runs slower than the PS3 & 360 chips.

The Wii U is capable of better graphics, but because it's slower it can't run games with higher textures. The same thing happened with the iPad 3 & iPhone 4. The speed of the phone wasn't fast enough to run games in Retina resolution.

The Wii U is capable of better graphics, BUT because the speed is isn't as fast as the PS3/360 the resolution of the games often suffer meaning that to achieve better graphics, games often have to be simpler in detail.

It just depends on whether or not the developer is keen to simply the textures like they did below.

Who actually thought it was coming to Wii U though?

Some of you try way too hard.
