I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Because they're still referring to PS5 and XSX as "next gen", which is ridiculous this far into a generation. I'm glad even their own commenters are calling that out.
It almost seems like a bait and I fell for it 🫣
The only reason I clicked on the article is because I thought next gen launching late 2025 with GTA6. Ps5 came out over 3 years ago so 4 year generation sounds about right.
It's not the first time either. Time to pop Kotaku into the block list.
The last few console generations have been around 6-7 years, and this gen may be longer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_video_game_console_generations#Console_generation_overview
Yeah, we’ve not had a generation run short for 20 years. Even then most last 6 years historically and I think people’s perception is skewed because Microsoft rushed out the 360 quicker than normal.
What would new consoles even be at this stage? They’re still fast, can do 4k, some ray tracing etc. and yeah they compromise on things but you need to spend more on a graphics card alone to get more on PC. The cost vs benefit isn’t there yet not to mention (anecdotally) the “general public” talk about current consoles as if they’re new, so I don’t think there’s an apatite or need.
The general public didn't have access to them for almost 2 years. Ps5 and Series are functionally 1 year (maybe year and a half) into wide adoption.
The PC version will come out with the PS6/Xbox whatever ports come out. Rockstar has figured out exactly how to milk the most sales out of their games
Xbox 2 maybe
I'll wait anyway. And I'm most definitly not gonna preorder after the mega fail that was the GTA Trillogy.
GTA trilogy wasn't developed by rockstar iirc. That being said, pre-ordering games is a dumb move anyway since games aren't finished when they are being released nowadays
I think I got GTA5 for 5 bucks. I think I'll wait for GTA6 for 6 bucks
I got it for free from Epic.
With that being said, I did purchase it for Xbox one when it first launched.
As someone who games solely on pc nowaday simply because having other things to do, I don't mind waiting even more so the chance I will get it on launch day is null.
Remember fellas vote with your wallet, do not get blinded by hypetrain.
I’m not buying a console for this game. Pc gaming has gotten a lot bigger, I’d be surprised if they skipped it.
And unlike when GTA5 came out, now the XBox and PlayStation have the same CPU architecture as PC.
Still I wont be surprised since they've delayed PC since GTA3, but its still annoying
Almost every AAA release has pulled the same trick for at least the last 10 years if not longer. Don't announce the PC release until after the console release, that way some people buy the game twice.
Naturally. Rockstar likes to resell their titles no less than Bethesda. They will sell it to you on PS5 and series x/s, then again on PS6 and whatever Xbox will be around. Then probably Nintendo platform, finally PC.
This way they maximize the amount of times some people will buy the same game, each time with minimal quality upgrade.
Same as their previous titles. It's not that they didn't learn. They have the numbers and know very well what they're doing.
imo buying a copy for one platform should entitle to play on every platform it is released on. The crucial aspects of the work are the same. adapting to different hardwares and making controls for gamepads and mouse and keyboard only plays a small part in the total effort. Also you can play with a controller on pc in most cross platform games.
And pc always last because they can only sell it to them once and they'll have it until steam/epic dies.
The continued use of Next Gen for what is definitely the current console generation does make me pretty annoyed
They’ve done it with every generation of GTA recently. It will probably not come out at launch, people will buy the console version, and then suddenly it comes out on pc a year later. We’ve seen the tactic before
Honestly I do understand why PC gamers are upset. But this isn’t exactly news. They’ve done this with every PC port. And given the clusterfuck that was GTA IV on PC I’m fine waiting another year for a GOOD PC port.
Again I get it. But I personally bought a Series X when PC gaming was too expensive to get into so I take it that’s who they’re gonna go for as well.
I doubt waiting any amount of time would warrant the port to be good. See: GTA:SA
I bet its because console players are far more likely to dump their life savings into Shark Cards 2.0 in massive fits of hysterical FOMO, than PC players are.
Is this type of comment helpful for you? Are people supposed to follow-up with some comment about PC players are sheep and will be buy the game for consoles and then buy it PC when it releases there?
This platform war nonsense is tiring.
GTA5 PC players usually play on modded servers that don't use shark cards. I think that's what they meant.
Why would you buy GTA 6 after 5 became a live service game? Fuck rockstar.
GTA V’s single player was worth $60 even if it never got any DLC. I don’t touch GTA online.
If it hadn't been for reddit, I wouldn't have been aware that there was an online mode.
Likely? It's almost a certified R* moment to forget about PC for 1-2 years and then release the (better) version there later on.
They know they can play on some people's (poor) patience and double-dip getting people to cave in, get it on console, and then on PC a couple of years later.
Cool. Then I'll pirate it at lauch.
Hope it will be good, the game will have to last 3 console generations anyway.
Oh no
Anyway
Can't wait for an extremely polished game where it's impossible to step one step in the direction you want to go.
I don't think anyone with more than 5 braincells thought this was coming out on PS4 and Xbone.
I could not care less. They seem to focus primarily on improving the graphics with every part of the series, while imo gameplay is much more important than graphics. Also, for the ridiculous price of one AAA title, one can buy a whole bunch of great indie games.
