I don't understand how some people here came to the conclusion that GTA V could be a next-gen game. The next-generations consoles from Microsoft and Sony will probably be shown on E3 2013 and most likely released in October 2013 at earliest. I think it's more than obvious that GTA V will be released way before. The next-generations consoles are capable to represent DirectX 11 features like tesselation and it has the ability to show about 8 billion particles. The dynamic lightning is improved by a lot and it looks nearly life-like. They can focus dynamically the blur and DoF effects by themselves. GTA V don't have any effects like these I have written. And why should Rockstar announce GTA V in October 2011 and release a trailer in November just to release the game in October 2013 or even later? Do you really think that these screenshots here looks like a next-gen game?












Sure, the game looks really nice but the graphics are nowhere in the near of a next-gen game. Not in the screenshots and not in the trailer. The only possibility for GTA V being released on the next-generations consoles would be if the Playstation 4 and the Xbox720 have backwards compatibility so the possibility to play Playstation 3 and XBox360 games on them as it was possible to play PS2 games on the first version of the Playstation 3 which already died out years ago. I highly doubt that GTA V will be a next-gen-only-game. Some people started to speculate if it's possible if GTA V will be released for the Wii U. I think there is no need to discuss it because Strauss Zelnick, CEO of TakeTwo, is sceptical about it:

While Take-Two will make sports and family titles for the Wii U, its bigger core franchises have been notably absent from the list of partners. And that seems unlikely to change anytime soon.

seriously, i don't see why the mods or admins don't just ban you, racism shouldn't be tolerated

Last night i had a nightmare that GTA V was going to be released on the next gen console only.

Worst nightmare i ever had.

[Msharingan]

Let's just kill this rumour dead.

In the first year the PS3 was available it sold 3.5 million units, in the inital first 6 months. The PS3, as a lifetime total, has sold now 47.9 million units.

So answer me this, why would Rockstar (or any developer) forgo an install base of 100 million units (adding PS3 and 360, assuming they are similar) for some pretty particle effects on the next generation of consoles? I could understand why they would want the 100 million + the new install base, but they aren't going to sacrifice a large number of players for the sake of better but less played game. Quite simply it isn't going to happen. Call of Duty, for instance, isn't going to be series exclusive to the PS4 and NextBox. It will be on both platforms (like the sports games we have seen) until the latter platform has a sizeable install base.

This is the same reason why GTA V is bound the outsell IV. The install base has increased. If we assume that 55% of everyone who owns a PS3 or 360 will buy a GTA game, then the fact that the amount of gamers has increased means that the amount of people that percentage encompasses also increases.

GTA4 is 4-5 Years old.

It will looks stunning on current gen.

and if it comes to the RAM. PS2 did manage to run GTA SA withhuge Map and many many things you were able to do.

i dont see limitations because of the current gen except from low def textures in some parts. but u saw the screens and the trailer. it was console imo. it looked really good. but on PC it would have been clearer and everything. also GTA4 trailers were all xbox footage.

when the next gen arrrives. R* will be able to do much bigger maps with more details and much better graphics but thats almost it. current gen can handle all of that.

one more thing could be the MP. with more RAM u would be able to play through the whole city with like 50 players.

cos he is the 2nd account of a mod maybe. i am surprised he is not "busted" by now

[Mainland Marauder]

GTA V is going to be one of the releases that determines whether there will actually be next-gen consoles or not.

[NateShaw92]

MM you mean whether next gen will be soon, there will be next gen consoles at some point in the future, an unavoidable fact, unless the world ends, or technology ceases to exist etc. this will probably give us some kind of REAL estimate of when gameplaywise, like 2014 or 2015 blah blah.

I made this topic because there are many people who really thinks that GTA V will be released on the next-generation of the consoles so Playstation 4 and XBox 720 just because there are no GTA V info yet. No, these 2 pictures and the few questions that are answered by Rockstar are NOT really info. At least not for the stockholders of TakeTwo. In my opinion people who really think that GTA V is a next-generation game are just stupid. Sony and Microsoft will most likely release their new consoles between October 2013 and mid 2014 but we don't know the exactly release date. Rockstar won't release GTA V that late. Like I've already pointed out in my another topic I think that GTA V will be released before March 31st 2013. Why should Rockstar give us a trailer in November 2011 just to release the game in October 2013 or even later? What's the point? Do you really think that this picture and this picture looks like a next-generation game? If yes then you should go to an ophthalmologist really soon. These pictures don't even look like a next generation game. If GTA V would be a game for the new consoles then we would have the first results of the next-gen graphic-effects and physics and whatnot. But we don't saw them. GTA V will come out on the current consoles. Anyway what's your opinion? Discuss!

jesus f*cking christ dude! this has been brought up 10000000000000000000000 times.

did you just make this to spam your worthless topic again?

[Chriss0906]

YOU PEOPLE ARE f*ckING NUTS!!!??
those graphics are for current generation!
go on youtube and look at unreal engine 5 and look how its going to look next gen console, then shut up.
if u people think that GTAV graphics are a nex gen console, then its obvious you dont have idea how the technology has growth
play crysis 2 or 1 on a PC full graphics and hi res textures, and you will see that it looks like a next gen game.
im not saying gta v graphics are bad, cuz are the best graphics ive seen on consoles besides of uncharted 3 ones. but if u think its a next gen game.
you need to go out more and find out how the technology its now.

What I mean is the video game industry is at a bit of a crossroads right now.

It used to be, back in the old days, games were created in a short time for a relatively small amount of money. As such, you could afford to fail on two or three releases if the fourth became a big seller, especially when they were selling 8-bit games for the same $60 back in 1988. Now things have changed. GTA's budget is more like a major motion picture than a video game, and there's a lot more involved in making a lifelike city environment that will captivate people in the 2010s than there was in slapping together a hop-n-bop platformer back in the classic games era. At the same time, the mobile and smartphone culture and the Facebook Farmville type stuff has horned in some on what was once squarely the turf of the traditional video game industry. These are the casual gamers, the ones who made games like Tetris big sellers back in the day. Now, they produce that stuff for dirt cheap, especially compared to what goes into a major console game release today.

I think there will still be enough of a "hardcore gamer" set that will sustain GTA, but sustaining one game franchise and keeping a new console profitable are two totally different animals, if they can't sell to both the hardcore gamers and the casual set who would just as soon harvest their virtual crops on their smartphones.

I know that but look at the other topics. Everywhere people discussing about if GTA V is a current or a next-gen game. Btw why I've never seen you before here in the GTA V section?

I think that number is 10 billion trillion. not a bajilion how many 0's in a bajilion I wonder (this had 22)
using the american value for billion = thousand million, and trillion = thousand billion (at least i heard that was american)
using british (1 million million = billion and 1 million billion = trillion) then we have ourselves 10 thousand trillion
but we mainly use american now as well just thought i would add that in to sound like a smart-arse

[Delanto]

They shouldn't bother releasing next-gen if that's what it looks like

Say this to the people who think that GTA V is a next-gen game. The graphics are nowhere in the near of next-gen graphics.
