[Yearly] Weekend Update with GTAPortable
When I checked GTAPortable.com's stats last night I was stunned to see numbers I didn't expect; for a site that hardly promises anything new for at least a year, 30k unique visitors for the month of June certainly isn't bad. Sure it isn't what it used to be, but I'm still surprised to see so many people still visiting.
This certainly encouraged me to go ahead with my planned website dedicated to the publisher behind Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar Games. Initially planned since January, it's clearly more evident now that the web needs a site dedicated to covering just the company and its games, something which the web currently lacks.
It was announced last November that there are nearly 10 PS3 titles in development by Rockstar Games, some of which might have been scraped off due to Take-Two Interactive's restructuring plan. I doubt so, but if some of them were in early stages it is likely to have been.
The company will also no doubt step up its support for Nintendo's platforms, most importantly the Wii. Whether or not we'll see a Grand Theft Auto on it in the future can't be denied nor confirmed at this time, but regardless we still might see some innovative games for the platform; just take a look at what they did with Table Tennis on the 360 - and who knows, we might see a ''killer application'' for it like they did with Liberty City Stories on the PSP in 2005.
At this time I can't say exactly when I'll be launching the site; I'm currently busy with a few other things, but my guess is that it will be live about after GTA IV's next big round of new detailed previews, which should kick off in early August from Game Informer and such.
Speaking of GTA IV, I'm sure most of you know that I'm assisting in covering the game over at GTA4.net. This will probably mean I won't be covering the game to its fullest over at the aforementioned website, http://RockstarGam.es, but I might get someone else to do that or I'll try and syndicate the news off of GTA4.net.
Well, enjoy the rest of your summer (or winter) vacation. It's been just over 3 months since the unveiling of GTA IV and the debut of Trailer 1; the second trailer already launched, and at least one of the two remaining trailers will be launching within the next 3 months, with Niko strutting his stuff in front of your eyes a month later when you finally got the game!

Wow I'm also impressed with how many unique visitors the site is getting.
So here I am thinking, if new people were allowed to register then the GTAPortable forums would still be growing.
By the way I can't wait for your Rockstar fansite Adriaan.

GTAPortable hasnt grown because no new GTA PSP titles have been announced. if GTAPortable collaborates with Adriaan's new website itll become bigger, obviously.
but if he does join the sites together, will all our stats be unchanged? such as our posts counts and stuff.

No the only changes taking place will be the site layout, forum skin, a new URL, new server, etc, stats will remain the same.
