Travís. Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I've seen people around here that have said GTA V Grapihcs look "Last Gen" Do they mean since the new Play Station is coming out they're saying it looks like PS3/Xbox 360 graphics? if so that's retarded seeing as it's being released on both PS3 and Xbox 360 and a next gen release is "Unlikely" Or do they mean it looks like xbox and ps2 Graphics? If it means any of the thing mentioned above then that's completely ridiculous, Stop Watching Play Station 4 Gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggot899 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah I've wondered about that as well. Old gen can't touch what we have now on current. And the next gen aren't here yet and people act like they have been playing on them for years. That's like calling a game that hasn't been released old.

CryptReaperDorian Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 They are most likely talking about the current (7th) generation of consoles. Here's the very stupid thing about the gaming community. Back when GTA IV was released, the PS3 and Xbox 360 were call "next generation". Now those people are calling them "last generation" even though the PS4 and next Xbox aren't out yet. It's like "current generation" doesn't exist to a large amount of gamers. Dumb dumbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighter427 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 They're probably talking about previous generation/era of GTA. Hence last gen would mean IV era, since it was the last number generation. Sort of like how SA and VC were part of the III generation/era. That's the best I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizzouRah16 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 People refer to GTA:V as "last gen" because the graphical portion of the game is not greatly improved from its predecessor, GTA:IV, despite being released years after it and very close to the next console generation. People have gotten a glimpse at what the next-gen consoles can do graphically. Their release is quite close as well. GTA:V doesn't offer the visuals of other games we've seen recently because it's being released on older systems. This type of criticism happens frequently with games that are released very late in the console generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type of criticism happens frequently with games that are released very late in the console generation. This is the most logical explanation. But at least Rockstar is committed to finishing this game for the hardware it was designed for. If a lesser company were developing GTA V, they would have had the game half finished when they got their hands on those next gen dev kits, then scrapped it all to re-focus on new hardware. It happened to Duke Nukem, twice. And look at the end results there: 15 years in development and a 54 percent Metacritic rating to show for it. At least we are getting a brand new GTA this year, and we don't have to drop loads of money for a new system to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackNoise Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I would just say don't worry about it. They're talking about the generation that started back in 2005/2006. Some people don't like to consider 360/PS3 "current gen" because they're old as f*ck and next gen is right around the corner, and some even consider Wii U to be the actual current gen, which is arguable. Either way, people shouldn't stop watching next gen gameplay, because it is the future for console gaming. It's always weird how people hate on the new consoles until they end up getting one. All of us console gamers do at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinterj Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 At the end of the day people are just jumping on the next gen bandwagon. I wouldn't give a crap what those people thing. To me last gen means PS2/Xbox. Next gen means PS4/Nextbox. GTA IV, EFLC, and GTA V are all current gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakeney Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The type of person that calls "this" gen "last", are the type of jerk that takes pictures of thier food for instagram, or pays £100 for a sh*tty old jacket from the 80s/90s on ebay because its "retro"... they are riding the wave of cool while we all paddle behind this wave, so they are already on "next gen", making the gen we are on (in real person time, we call it "current") "last" gen. Basically anyone referring to this gen as "last" already is a Jerk and was more than likely 10 or under when SA came out on the Ps2, pretty much (imo) making their points invalid!

Hugef1 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 PS2 is last gen. San Andreas looks bloody awful now. THAT was last gen. As people have said, V is current gen, not last. I also don't get why people want it on PS4, or the new Xbox and NOT on the current machines (again something I've seen said on here a fair bit).... "I want this amazing game to be on a system I haven't got" is pretty much what they're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I want this amazing game to be on a system I haven't got" is pretty much what they're saying. Precisely. It's funny how people are willing to shell out a lot more money just for the PS4, only to have barely noticeable improved graphics. Next-gen games, as of now, just don't look that much better. Don't see how the PS4 would greatly improve GTA V, especially taking into consideration that R* never aims for photorealistic art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3ex2 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Who ever says this must be complete idiots. If by Last Gen they mean PS2/Xbox: does it look like San Andreas to you? If it does I suggest you get your eyes checked out. If by Last Gen they mean PS3/360: NO sh*t?? that's what it's being released on! Do you expect it to look next gen? You're only letting yourself in for a big letdown. Precisely. It's funny how people are willing to shell out a lot more money just for the PS4, only to have barely noticeable improved graphics. Next-gen games, as of now, just don't look that much better. Don't see how the PS4 would greatly improve GTA V, especially taking into consideration that R* never aims for photorealistic art. What???? BARELY noticeable? Did your glasses break? Sure, it's not as big a leap as PS2/Xbox to PS3/360 but it's still a big difference.

I know the technology improvement is there, it's just that current games announced aren't really pushing it. Games like Destiny or Watch Dogs don't look worlds better than some PS3 titles, like Tomb Raider or Beyond: Two Souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware most games they are showing now for "next gen" are running on high end PCs such as Watch Dogs. High end PCs have always been around and yet I buy console games as my PC sucks. Point is I've lived without the difference and that more or less is the same as playing on current gen systems and not next gen. The difference is there sure but it's not a big difference. Once games are developed from the ground up for next gen consoles then I will care but when games are cross platform I can't say I do. Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed and the like all need to be built from the ground up for next gen for me to care. As for the exclusives they will no doubt look a step up but not many exclusives come out in the first year of a consoles life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, most of the games I've seen for next gen (PS4 & NeXtbox) don't look astonishingly better than some current gen games, 'The Last of Us' is a prime example. If we were only shown that game now & told it was a PS4 release title, a lot of people wouldn't bat an eyelid. Even if GTA V doesn't have super high-res textures, it's the detail put into every part of the game that makes it look better than almost every other title & especially open world sandbox games (imo).

S1LV3R_W0LF Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Could you provide me a link where that is actually said? When the first GTAV screenshots came out people said they looked "NEXT GEN" and as a matter of fact thye look great for what was offered before in this generation, so it's easely understandable that they look better then what we were used too, but "Last Gen"? On a side note I'm a PC player and I play "next gen" for some time already and GTAV graphics are impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CryptReaperDorian Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Really though guys, GTA games have never been the prettiest games on their respective platforms. Instead, they've always been "passable" (good enough, but not amazing). What's more important than graphics is atmosphere, and you don't need amazing graphics for an amazing atmosphere.

"Last Gen" is an over-exaggerated claim for the game's graphics, at least most of the time. It's not R*'s fault because they can only do so much with consoles packing specs equivalent to a mid-range PC from 2005. There are some truly awful textures and vegetation, and there have been reports of pop-in. But like I said, nothing can be done about it so I don't hold it against them.
