gummybear Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 GTA launching on a new system would be HUGE. If it's true, I hope they actually let us know in advance so I can start saving up. How could you not want a new system AND the new GTA? I don't put any weight into it though considering it's GTA and all the letdowns, but that would be amazing no doubt.

Rock Howard Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You can forget next gen consoles for now. Rockstar have been delevoping and programming for the 360 and PS3, not consoles which haven't even been announced yet, let alone released. The PS3 and 360 successors may well get an enhanced version of the game at some point who knows, but for now it all only points to the 360 and PS3.

Killerdude Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Im quoting my post in another thread to help spread knowledge and decrease the idiotic notion of a next gen delay reasoning: Before I go any further I need your full attention. Turn off the tv in the other room, close your windows, secure any running water, and close out of any other tabs open in your browser. Good??? Ok... Rockstar did not wake up on Jan 30th and say "sh*t, we have to delay V, I guess Sept will do... lets just pick a random day" They have been internally discussing the fact that they were struggling to meet their own deadlines and Im sure over the course of at least a month they began to assess the need for a delay. The reason there is a set date rather than just a time frame is that by delaying the game 4 months it gives them ample time to complete the project. Rather than knowing that they were going to be cutting it close, as was the case with a Spring release, they are certain that the 4 month delay will give them enough time. So they carefully analyzed their current progress on development, the future projection of development time needed, and other important information related to meeting a deadline, in order to conclude that Sept 17 will be the right date for a release. This game has been worked on for at least 3+ years as a PS3/360/PC? title. The thought of them going back and backtracking all their development so they can release the game as a next gen title in about a year(if not more) would be more harm than help. The last game that Rockstar released was Max Payne last year. MP3 was not as lucrative as they would have hoped so you can bet that they want to get V out sooner than later. Sitting on a game that is ready rather than releasing it only make the title that much more "dated" and obsolete. Not too mention you are sitting on potential money that could be making up for development costs. As stated in many other threads, the amount of PS3 and 360 owners is almost triple that of when GTA IV was released. That is three times as many potential customers than with IV. Next gen systems take about 1-2 years to gain enough momentum to a primary console for most gamers. This is due to the cost of a new system as well as attachment to titles on the last gen hardware. Releasing GTA V on next gen would increase the price of GTA V from $60 to $60+ the console costs as well ($460?) All of these concrete facts negate the ridiculous notion that GTA V has been delayed so it can become a next gen title, and furthermore makes the argument that R* lied to us and is still lying to us completely void. Have a nice day Lets frame this entire text wall in a golden frame lined with decorative gemstones and other fancy sh*t that says "This is important" ...maybe even a sign that says it's important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKush Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Witcher 3 just announced for next gen consoles. Pretty much looks like after october/november there are not comming so many games anymore for 360/ps3 Don't be so sure, friend! Keep in mind how long the PS2 was developed for after the PS3 because of it's massive installbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0Xaeris Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 im gonna laugh at the price. ill stick to PC Ditto, I got into GTA on the PS2, but after playing San Andreas on PC, consoles just felt restrictive after that. I haven't bought a new console since the skinny PS2, and I don't plan on wasting money on a console that will only take up more room when I can play most games on high graphics or better on my PC. I'm sure you'll be able to play PS3 games on the PS4, so you can enjoy GTA V running smooth since the PS4 is likely going to be able to handle a lot more. As R* said, they want to end this generation with a game like V because they know what the current engine is capable of, it would take them a lot longer than 4 months extra to make a new engine and build the game around it, they're not going to throw away profit like that.

AZAZEL Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Pretty much looks like after october/november there are not comming so many games anymore for 360/ps3 Probably not as many as the recent years, but games will still be released for them, and there will still be more of them in people's homes, than 720s and PS4s, for a long, long time. To compare, the PS2 was the most played console in 2008 (8 years on the market), if memory serves, and they were still being produced up until a couple of months ago.

Well, reason I think it wont is because there seems to be a lack of announcments for the 360/ps3 games. Even next gen titles are starting to get announced like The witcher 3.

Gtaghost22 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 new t2 shareholders question call, interesting answers about gtav on next gen. Yep. "There is not one gamer who is going to sit out of GTA V hoping that something that is going to come along down the road that's better. It's going to blow everyone away, and it's going to be in the market in September," he said, when questioned whether there might be a "dual-generation launch" for the game [...] Source. I knew they didn't really have any plans to port it straight away for next gen consoles, it was obvious. They might in the future but not anytime soon though.

I love how you cut the quote right after "September", because right after is when he actually answers the question. Q "All things being equal, if you had the opportunity to do a dual-generation launch, would you see that as a net benefit or is it too arbitrary to even know?" A "There is not one gamer who is gonna sit out of Grand Theft Auto V hoping that something down the road is gonna come along that's better. Grand Theft Auto V is going to blow everyone away, and it will be in the market in September. In terms of strategy around current gen and next gen. We have to wait for the announcements. And as I said, look, we're always looking over our shoulders. I'm a big believer that arrogance is the enemy of continued success, but we're planning as well as we can, and we think we're extremely well positioned, and our creative teams have a burning desire to bring consumers what they want when they want it, and I'm convinced we're going to keep doing that."

IMO he didn't answer the question at all. He just basically said that they like to appease the customer base, regardless of where it's at. He didn't confirm or deny anything, but more less dodged the actual content of the question entirely. If out of some miracle the game is launched simultaneously on dual platforms, there's not chance in hell that I'm going to buy a brand new console, along with a brand new game for said console, because: 1) Out of my own personal belief, I NEVER purcahse new tech upon release, because it is always overpriced due to the initial spike in demand simply because there's a new shiny toy on the market. Also, I want to hear initial reaction of the new consoles from other consumers, as I feel the userbase of new tech is a far better indicator of announcing potential problems/bugs/anomolies that the actual companies will never disclose until it's too late. 2) The game itself will have a higher price point (unless a package deal is released with console + game included) compared to the "old" consoles currently on the market. I remember back when the very first PS3 was launched, and a couple of my friends paid about $1,000 for JUST the 40GB console. Then a few months later it was already down to $700. Then a few months after that they released a version with more HDD space for the same price, etc etc. I can totally understand the allure of being one of the first to get the new tech, but honestly it's going to be so overpriced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another rumor is next xbox live will be free finally if Sony does this, i'll be pissed. in fact i might not buy the console until someone finds out how to hack it so it works offline as well.. not because i want to buy used games, but because the internet providers in my country are overpriced and deliver crap services. (we still have a down/upload limit, uberslow connection and pay more than double than any other country) this combined with our wireless internet results in a lot of disconnections. it pisses me off when on psn, but i can't imagine the rage when a singleplayer game stops everytime internet derps out. f*ck you Sony! and f*ck you to Telenet!
