who wishes R* would have put GTAV on the PS4 and 720?

I'm a bit dissapointed that R* is putting GTAV on the current gen than waiting to put it on next gen consoles. First, i understand their logic. Current gen has a larger base, so they'll make more money, i get it. However, i'm sure this game if it was a launch title would have pushed out more consoles. Secondly, the main reason i'm dissapointed is that the game itself will likely not have a long life span since the next gen of console and games will laucnh mere months after the game has been released. Thirdly, I'm sure that the game itself would have looked and performed much better on next gen consoles.

Anyone agree?

There's always GTA VI

Yeah, i would've preferred that. Now they have to hold back because of the 360:(

Well yeah but

Is graphics that big a deal?

There is a risk involved by putting it on next gen systems.

Let companies like EA / Activision take care of the install bases with franchises like CoD, BF, Fifa, Madden.

What they are doing is ideal imo. Also don't forget about the budget increase if that was the case.

I don't and I think Dan Houser's reasoning makes sense.

"Rockstar is a content company, not a hardware company. We use the technology we have to create content, and we try not to let ourselves get beholden to the hardware. The fact that hardware's so mature right now is exactly why we're able to go on to the next level. GTA 4 was our first attempt at a new platform and HD visuals, so the first part of development was seriously difficult. Now we know what the hardware's capable of, so it's become a lot easier to move things along and a lot more fun, too."

"GTA: San Andreas came out at the peak of the PlayStation 2's cycle, and we put out a really good game thanks to that. All the best games for a console come out at the end of the life cycle, right? So now's the best timing of all." Dan Houser

They prolly been working on V for years.

It's not like they woke up yesterday and went "hey let's make GTA V dude" Do you think we should wait for Xbox720? "Nah 360 is good enough"

I dont or I wouldnt be able to play it, at least for quite a while

This is pretty much all that needs to be said.

In an interview with IGN when asked


IGN: Why isn't GTA V a next-gen launch title?
R*: Some other people talk about the limitations of the [current] hardware. We don't feel there are that many limitations. We feel we can do some very impressive stuff and do it for a large audience. This felt like the way... There'll be a much larger audience on PS3 than there will be on PS4. At a creative level, which is the most important for us, we could say everything we wanted to say and do everything we wanted to do on these machines. We didn't sit there saying, "We'd like to do this in the game, but we can't." There's plenty of power in these machines.

its fine....i think they sell more by releasing it this gen and wait til the install base is more than a couple of million

$60 to play gtav, or $660, I'll take it this gen.

Maybe Saint's Row 4 will be on the 720/PS4. fernandmondego_

Well the simple thing is if you want the Next Gen experience then play it on the PC.. done.

Yes, but in the end it's still gonna be better than Watch Dogs

I think they will just port it to the 720 and PS4 later anyways.

I say they should juust do what they are more comfortable doing and believe that they can get the best content out of.

True Crime tried to compete failed

Saints Row tried to compete failed

Just Cause tried to compete failed

Driver SF tried to.........It was a flop game

Watch Dogs.........

True Crime did fail I'll agree.

Saints Row though I don't like didn't fail as it found an audience that detested GTA4's realism focus.

Just Cause I thought did pretty well?

Driver San Fransico didn't flop at all. That was the best game in the franchise
