Rockstar would be a bitch for doing that. Why do you give them the idea?!?!

 

For god's sake I hope it doesn't happen. Plus, by the time next gen is here, R* will already be developing the first next gen GTA... I hope.

your predictions are wrong, the earliest next-gen consoles with be available is mid-next year. There is no way they would release GTAV with new consoles coming out 5 or 6 months later.

I'm sorry but you're wrong. Most likely new consoles will be announced in the near future maybe even before E3. They will be released in Q4 2013. The fact GTA V will be released in spring is because Rockstar is trying to beat Sony/Microsoft to the punch. Since it will most definitly affect sales when a new gen console is announced.

You kidding right? It takes more than half a year to get marketing for new consoles running. I doubt we'll see next gen consoles in store before 2014

I just joined because I read that stupid comment lol. I didn't even know about the wii u, I seen the announcement then bam couple months it was out. If they announce it in march or may it's still will have enough marketing to be out by november. The hype has been building since last year.

Wow, you shouldn't have done that, makes you look even more stupid. You know, there's a difference between june (E3)->november/december and march->november/december. If you sign up to reply to a stupid comment, atleast read it fully lol.gif

 

Example: Look at the Vita. Now you can say, you can't compare a handheld to a real console. Yea, neither can you compare a Wii to a Ps4 or X720

Believe me they've already got the idea.

 

The irony of your comment is if you want there to be a GTAVI there pretty much has to be a next gen port of GTAV.

V's optimised for current gen consoles. At this stage, it's unlikely that PS4's will have backwards compatability and 720's could very well be the same. We'll have to wait for VI to be on next gen. sleepy.gif

Uhm dude. Once again. The key to succeed is reading. Did you read my post? Please quote me on where I said the Wii U is a handheld. Sorry, but in that way I really can't take you serious.

Wii U was announced April 25, 2011 and was released about one year and seven months later (19 months) not "A couple of months"

I'm late with everything. IM TALKING FROM THE ASPECT OF A CONSUMER lol. Did I say official announcement no.... so STFU. I'm talking when I first seen the announcement for Wii-U for myself as a consumer. It was out in 2 months. I didn't even know about it lol

Most active consumers are usually interested in news related to their interests, in which case, you can't be.

 

There was A LOT of news on it, if you missed it, you're blind. There just is no other explanation.

lol I'm not here to get into any type of argument, debates are welcome, but hey ask yourself how many know GTA V exists besides the fans? That's how I feel about the Wii U. I never paid attention to the Wii. I didn't even know it was a new system until I started seeing the marketing for commercials. I thought it was Wii HD with some fance new joystick. I had no idea it was a brand new system LOL.

I see your point, but let me just ask you, do you usually read gaming related news from a site like IGN?

Playstation 4 and Xbox 8 or 720 will be released at the end of the year.

GTA V will be released for both consoles, with improved graphics, and maybe a few adjustments and/or extra's.

 

 

You may be more right than you know. Except... The rumor I've heard, and I've got reason to believe this is correct, is that Sony have done an exclusivity deal (it'll be timed exclusive of course) and the Orbis (it definitely won't be called PS4 this time around) will get it first. The Orbis version will of course by highly optimized with additional features.

 

I'll eat my hat if this turns out not to be true.

Where do you shop for cheap, edible hats? Anyway, the question is not largely about revenue, because GTA is a revenue-generating giant. Anytime Rockstar has to make a decision like this, they're going to evaluate whether the hassle of further development time and marketing is worth a second launch; it's not necessarily a guaranteed pile of cash. Then there's the more nebulous question of integrity. For the most part, Rockstar avoids "double-dipping," I think because it cheapens the product if there's not a suitable impetus to re-release. You may remember they did this with Bully (which was a terrible port) because Bully was a cult game and it launched at the end of the PS2's life cycle. But still, I wouldn't use the past as a perfect guide to Rockstar's future. Virtual distribution changes the game quite a bit, and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if GTA V becomes a download on PS4, whether improved or not.

 

TL;DR Rockstar will probably consider a lot of things before a second launch and it's impossible to predict what they'll decide.

I think it would be stupid if MS and Sony announced that the PS4 and Xbox 720 will not play any of the PS3 and 360 games. Think about it. I invest in the new Xbox, I have 100+ games for the 360, and yet MS says sorry, not backwards compatible? Sorry, but thats stupid. The next-gen will play ps3/360 games. Probably upscales them too like blu-ray did for dvd.

Because its surprisingly expensive to implement and the evidence suggests actually most gamers don't really want it. Sony went to a lot of time and hassle making the mk1 PS3 backwards compatible only find most gamers didn't really look back once that had lovely new high definition games in their hands. Sony ditched the extra processing power needed to make the mk1 PS3 backwards compatible when they brought the mk2 out so they could drive down costs.

 

All that being said it may well be easier for them to make the Orbis and Durango backwards compatible than it was last time around so we'll just need to wait and see. Like I said before I think the difference between this and next gen is going to be considerably more blurred, certainly to begin with anyway, than it was last time so we'll just have to wait and see.

 

Bringing GTA out on the next gen consoles is all about giving the game life and attention beyond 6 months or a year. Its not about ripping gamers off making them buy it twice. If it comes out and people love it to death, particularly its multiplayer, it'll simply mean they'll be able to play it on their shiny new console. Yes there may be incentives for gamers to buy it like additional content and/or a cheaper digital download version.
