australiadreamin Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I was just wondering, consoles never lasted too long, it's usually about 5 years before all competitors drop the existing platforms and introduce new ones. I believe so, but I'm not sure.. Do you reckon GTA V will necessitate new generation consoles ?

gta9414 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 i dont think so, if you look at gta's timeline, it will probably be released by at least early 2013, and I dont see new consoles before then Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/467658-new-generation-consoles/#findComment-1060298118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavrentis Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Sony says the PS3 was built to last for 10 years which means in 2016 they will be bringing out the next generation of consoles, I presume Microsoft will release a new one around then. So, if GTA V is being released for the next generation of consoles we've still got 5 years to wait.

Kwandilibro Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I know one thing. Microsoft will learn from it's mistakes. MS needs to be able to equally compete with Sony, and part of that definitely has to do with more memory. However, I don't think we'll see new consoles until at least 2015/15, and TBH, it doesn't really bother me. It just intrigues me at the sh*t these consoles might be capable of in the near future.

jnzooger Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just cause a console is going to last 10 years, doesn't mean another one wont come out in the mean time. PS2 is still going strong for instance. Unlike the other console makers, Sony doesn't like to just let a console die. So even if the PS3 is set to last until 2016, it's still possible we will see a PS4 before then. On the other hand, with the release of Move and Kinect, Sony and Microsoft are considering those to be be new platforms all together. So that could extend the timeframe before the new consoles.

"It's going to last ten years" could simply mean that that's how long they'll continue offering support and things. But at the same time, PS4 and 720 could be here by 2012 or 2013. Never know.

d0mm2k8 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 FFS. 2016? The consoles are already f*cking holding gaming back as it is with their sh*tty 2006 hardware, but another 5 years? Not to come across as a fanboy but that just pissed me off. I thought the current consoles were already nearly dead, meaning they'd bring new ones out with better hardware and then developers would actually start utilizing DX11, quadcores and hyperthreading to their full potential. Come to think of it, PC gaming will be dead by 2012 because it's already been dying for 10 years, so it should be nearly done right? Ah well, there's always Crysis 2.

Red Ring Of Death - Hardware failure meaning people having to buy stuff to fix it thus voiding there warrantys and having to spend time and money in fixing the problems themselves resulting in spending excessive sums of money on there console. Then there was the fact the DVD drives used to fail scratch games and Microsoft would blame you for it. The poor customer support with the Xbox when you called them up and people having consoles not repaired properley after paying hundreads of pounds waiting weeks for it to be fixed and even repaired machines to fail again months later. And also more media storys on the Xbox 360 on major networks and independant networks than you could shake a proverbial stick at. Millions of customers had countless problems with the new generation console the Xbox 360 at the time from November 2005 upwards and even systems crashed for no reason. And if they do say hey we are bringing out the sucessor to the Xbox 360 all these questions will be brought up and we will see similar problems like this on the Xbox 360 successor anyways. They didnt expect it with the 360 and it will only happen with the successor. And if you think it wont happen then go ahead blow all that money and youll look back and say i wish id of agreed with that guy on GTAForums.

Matty Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 To the guy who said that Microsoft could release a new console before Sony does; you could be right, the Xbox 360 was released in 2005 in the United States and the Playstation 3 was released in late 2006 in the United States and 2007 virtually elsewhere. So it is completely logical or feasible that a new Xbox console will be released before a new Playstation console. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Rockstar (or any game developers for that matter) will stop producing games for the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360, Rockstar Games produced games for the Playstation 2 up until 2007 (Vice City Stories being the last Playstation 2 game by them); for example. On the topic, with the above being said; I do not think that the next generation of consoles will be released before a new Grand Theft Auto is released. There is still plenty of life left in the current generation of consoles and the Playstation 3 has at least 5 more years of (mainstream) life, in my opinion. Also, I find it such a shame that PC gaming is dying; and that is evident by the fact that all the shelf space for video games are dedicated to the console games nowdays, that used to be different though.

xNewtype Acex Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I don't think MS is gonna release a console before Sony this time, they probably learned from their huge mistake of releasing the Xbox first, since it was obviously a rushed console with many hardware problems that still to this day haven't been fixed. Aaaaaaaaand there's also this: Microsoft confirms Kinect is Xbox 720 You have got to be f*cking kidding me... I think Ninty is the most probable candidate at being the first in launching their next-gen console.

The trouble is that next generation consoles are getting cheaper, reduce in price and have more powerfull hardware than the avergae spec pc. Because of that developers from software to games can use the console to support there products and develop it for them. It wouldnt suprise me if you started seeing Windows on the Xbox 360 before long or even on the Playstation 3 or the next gen consoles. Its only a matter of time by the way the Playstation 2 could run windows 98 no problems. From the days of PS1 there was a significant leap with the Playstation 2 spec wise and now the PS3 is practicly a pc now. Same with the Xbox 360 Slim.

the nameless Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I don't want to sound like a cheap bastard, but I paid £300 for my ps3, £35 for a 2nd controller, and £40 for a game when I got mine, then over the last few years, hundreds of more pounds on other games, I don't want to pay £500 or how ever much a new ps4 will be plus the games will probably jump up to around £60 - the ps3 is doing fine for me, and I certainly don't need big upgrades in tech. I just wish they could make a new console that looks good. The "phat" ps3 (which I have) looks like a casket, the slim one looks worse, at least the phat boy is shiney. The only good looking machine of this gen has been the original 360. Why the hell they put angles in the new one I have no idea. I know looks have no bearing on how they play, but hey, we're all allowed a rant aren't we?

In 2006 people were still using nVidia 6 - 7 Series GFX Cards. Hardware for PCs have come a long way in the past 5 years.
