No wai: Grand Theft Auto for the Wii?
A rather questionable report from Germany-based Games Blog posted several images of Rockstar Games supposedly testing a working Grand Theft Auto game for the Wii.
My excitement at the news was only drowned out by the hundreds of owls that suddenly flew into the office all hooting “O RLY?”
A rather questionable report from Germany-based Games Blog posted a number of images showing Rockstar Games supposedly testing a working Grand Theft Auto game for the Wii. The tester in the photos was using the Wii to fight, drive, shoot, and even bowl.
My excitement at the news was only drowned out by the hundreds of owls that suddenly flew into the office all hooting “O RLY?” Darn pesky owls.
Games Blog claimed that they got the pictures from a photo directory in Rockstar’s own website. Don’t bother looking for it – it’s not there anymore. They supposedly stumbled upon the directory while looking for pictures of GTA: Chinatown Wars. I’d like to believe that they’re authentic, but the owls are threatening to peck my eyes out if I do. They’re very scary.
Assuming – for the sake of argument – they are the genuine article, one only has to wonder why Rockstar Games kept it under wraps this far into development, when they capitalized on GTA4‘s development way, way before it was released. Perhaps it’s a test game for the Wii? It’s a nice thought. Highly unlikely, but you can dream.
You can view all the photos after the source link, and you can judge for yourselves.
