Yeah, it's the same plan as Sony has for GT6. Get the cash from the current gen install bases then release and enhanced port down the line with some extra content and get people to buy it again. I think GTA and GT are two of the only franchises that could get away with it.

Yeah, I don't think a next gen version is ruled out. R* simply has no reason to announce anything other than the current gen versions at the moment. Maybe they announce them a little after release if V bombs, but I'd be surprised if that happens. Will probably wait until early 2014 to coincide with the PC release.

It makes no business sense whatsoever to talk about the PC version, let alone the next-gen version in any capacity.
I think late 2014 for PC at the earliest.

This. We all know its coming to PC, Next Gen in 2014.
It is amazing the scope and scale of GTAV is able to acheive on current Gen. Are the trailers/screenshots PC?
All from PS3/360 according to R*. And the demo the press saw earlier this month (or was it late last month?) was on PS3.
Which ever next gen console has this i will be getting, because i have to sell my 360 + ps3 to get a next gen console.
All GTA's suffer from framerate and aliasing issues, the next gen version must be able to have GTA5 smooth and jaggie free.

If there was next gen versions, we would have heard it by now.
Absolutely not.
Talk about the next gen Version will start once they are done with DLC.
Late 2014 my guess.
Meh, that would be unacceptable, Would it really take that much tinkering to get GTA5 on next gen consoles!
I dont think it would be because they already have the RAGE engine working on PC'S and the X1 + PS4 are basically PC's So couldn't they just alter the PC code and slap it on the X1 and PS4?
I'am tired of the sub HD ,jaggies etc of this gen R* given me a version for next gen.
If they are delaying it just so ppl double dip thats more anti consumer that MS + sonys DRM shenanigans.
Hopefully sony or MS will have the decency and money to fund and port a next gen version. Especially that neither are offering BC

Tried to do a search and couldn't find anything. Cannot start a new thread so wanted to post in this one.
Did anyone else sign up to be a part of The Epsilon Program that Rockstar had on their site? They asked for your information about social networking. I just received an email saying that my application to attend a Los Santos Enlightenment Seminar is presently being considered. Anyone else receive that?
Here is a link to the site for it. The application period has expired but it explains it better.

No one is saying it would be difficult. It's simply that they've been working on the current gen ones since 2007. And they'll sell a lot. Why bother delaying the current gen development even a single minute for the others if they don't have to? R* is in the business of making money and the PS3/360 are going to make them the most money.
In a perfect world, we'd get all versions (current gen, next gen, and PC) on day one so literally everyone could enjoy it on their platform of choice, but them's the breaks I guess. Though as far as I know we don't have a release date for PS4 or Xbone and this is launching September 17th. So it definitely makes no sense to delay the current gen versions for new consoles with zero userbase.
If you don't want to buy it twice then just wait for the PC/other versions.
Yeah, I got the same email yesterday.

Thank you, they sure go all out on advertising.
Isn't the whole point of it to possibly get your face in the game? That would be damn cool to be an NPC.

From what I can tell, yes. It's kind of like when they did the contest for GTA IV where you could call the number and they would put you on the WKTT radio station. Here is the info I could find about it.

That is cool. I would love to run over my virtual self with a car.

It will probably be a model of you who is in the cult. Instead of them just puting in random people they will use a few real people to make NPCs out of.
Quite a genius way to get hype for a game that doesn't need any more hype. "I'm in this game!! Look!"
weather effects have improved so dramatically over the course of the gen. GTAIV was nice... RDR was gorgeous.. Max Payne 3 and Sleeping Dogs are just incredible. Can't wait for GTAV.

RDR Weather annihilates all the weathers you just mentioned, plus it has buckets of atmosphere. Something neither Sleeping Dogs or MP3 has.
Yea...OK pal. You definitely have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to Max Payne 3's atmosphere. Sleeping dogs atmosphere was lacking though, I agree.
Yea, here's one.
You kinda suck at identifying atmosphere if you think MP3 has none.
If you can play through MP3 twice and go through levels like the favela, the club and the docks...With that soundtrack and say it has no atmosphere, then yea, something is wrong.
Yes, running through a game guns blazing with no dynamic weather, no immersion factor but just a hail of music, explosions, cutscenes and different levels is on the same page as one of the most beautifully crafted open world games where a dynamic weather effect like a thunderstorm that slowly builds in the distant with a low rumbling, moves closer and looks stunning only to end up in a dark scene, rain falling, seeing people take cover, puddles of water form where there previously was dust. You see the water getting caught by the roof outlining and when you walk inside a bar with the music playing, you can still hear the rain outside.
Walking through the forest in RDR as it rains, you can hear the animals and know there's a bear watching you is the most amazing atmospheric and immersive thing I've ever experienced.
Your "Atmospheric" threshold must be infinitely low.

Fucking quoted for maximum truth. I can't wait to play this on my Xbox 360, but I will happily wait until 2014 to play it on my PS4.
Make it happen, Rockstar. We WILL double-dip, if the game is as delicious as we all believe it will be.
Do everyone a favor here and instead of saying MP3 has no atmosphere, invest in some good headphones or something cause you're obviously missing a lot.
Oh yea, go back through the Favela level one more time and after
Fabiana gets killed
And another thing, nobody compared RDR & MP3's atmosphere...You did. I'm only arguing your asinine point that Max Payne had none.
I think Max Payne 3 had some nice spots of atmosphere. That outdoors docks level with the rain was pretty dope. I love the dynamic soundtrack during quiet moments like that since you're sneaking around in the beginning.
The club scene was great. Really fit the vibe of a hyped night club. Reminded me of Collateral.
I also loooved the atmosphere in the flashback levels in New Jersey. With the snow and everything.
Others not as much since there was a lot of action and they were mostly indoors (not a bad thing, just different from the aforementioned levels).

Yes, please tell me the amped HD650s I was using at the times weren't up for the job. Stop this desperate shit like I was sitting in a damp washroom with my $25 logitech headphones playing it at 3FPS on a 10" monitor. Atmosphere and immersion are two terms that go hand in hand, for either to be true the other has to be present -- A linear TPS that is riddled with unskippable cutscenes and a wildly varying soundtrack just doesn't ooze either of them. I didn't say it was void of 'atmosphere' but putting it ABOVE RDR is mind-boggling.
And I say again, our definition of atmosphere in games must differ.
Yea, we're finished here. You're clueless.

True but I meant compared to RDR, they are but a blip on the radar. ( Still stand by SD not having any atmosphere. That game is as bland as licking wind )
Great rebuttal.
Pretty much.
The snow in AC was amazing, so well done.
If GTA V adds the RDR style of weather with slow build-ups, clouds slowly rolling in, distant rain clouds etc. I might have a heart attack.

He has hair for most of the game. And to say he's nothing like the Max from the first two games is plain wrong.
Hopefully they do make it also for the next generation consoles. That would hopefully result in the PC port running far better than GTA4 does on PC because it would have been more heavily developed for PC-type hardware that the PS4 and XBone will be sporting.
That's my hope, but we'll see.

Yes, the voice-actor is still the same. Its basically like Kojima would sell the MGS franchise and they made a simple shooter out of it. Perhaps you would still be playing as Snake but the soul is gone.
I'm just bitter at what happened to Max Payne 3 because i loved first two. It's still a pretty good game but just takes a big dump on what Max Payne used to be.
What soul is gone? It isn't set in the same situation as the previous two. I think this take is more realistic than the previous 2 games actually; I loved it.
