The thing is, any time a generational leap is made, developers are dipping in untested waters. If I'm to be completely honest, I think GTA V would suffer, not thrive, if it were to jump immediately to the next generation. Plus, it would taken even way longer. I mean, I doubt R* even have the dev kits for the next-gen consoles yet. That means we'd be waiting 2 to 3 years longer, for a game only on brand-new, $400-600 consoles, which like GTA IV, suffers from being an experiment, essentially. That is, unless it's not the first R* game on those consoles. But then that means we'd be waiting even longer for it, especially if we want it to benefit technically from that previous game (which means it can't be developed simultaneously). So that's tacking on like 4-5 extra years. I don't want to wait that much longer for GTA V, but I don't want it to suffer artistically as well. So the best possible situation is for it to be released on this generation of consoles, and then the next game can take as long as it needs.

See I think they do have a dev-kit or at least know what to expect. The gaming world changed this generation, a lot more just casual gamers came to the scenes. They need to hold these casual gamers and drag them into the next generation.

I can see why you want it now, but for me I am just still not going to have fun unless they have really livened the world I am running free in. So, personally, if GTA V comes out and hasn't exceeded IV in a technical aspect then It won't be what I am looking forward to in open world games. They can add all the toys and they will be fun initially but I just don't have the same fun as I used to. It will ware of fast.

Congratulations on reading the thread and no making a statement that is painfully obvious.

And there's always the next GTA game. Either way the wait will be just as long, the only difference is that, in this situation, there will be another GTA game between the two. So, in my opinion, it's a win-win for GTA V to stick with this generation.

This is partially true but thats not the only game Rockstar North have on there radar any more. I am sure a RDR sequel will be next, so the wait is longer for GTA (Though I loved RDR so its alright) plus its just not financially feasible.
