GTA 5 delay may mean next-gen release.

4.7
As you may know, Rockstar announced today that Grand Theft Auto 5 has been delayed by an extra 4 months, to allow for 'further development'.

This has left many to believe that GTA 5 will indeed be released on next-gen platforms.

Adding a further 4 months on to the development of the game means it will probably be released either after the consoles have been launched, or just before they have been launched.

Coincidence?

Its kind of annoying that they delayed it.. I was looking forward to it

xCorrection It's impossible to be next-gen because of pre-orders on all 3 major platforms (PC, Xbox360 and PS3). Therefore your speculations are false and you should feel dumb.


That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. Your comment would have only made sense if the game had already been posted to the person that "per-ordered" it.

Dreams ttg honestly posted this in the news? haha it wont be on next gen for many reasons 1 being they have no idea what kind of technology they would be limited to with the next gen and seeing as how they have already started making it for 360/ps3 and they arent gonna just decide to scrap all there work to make it for ps4/720....it would better anyways if it came out for current gen as they have already made gta4 on these consoles and know what they can handle and are cabable of



except that gtav has been in production since gta4 was released
You do realize developers get early models of next gen consoles at least 6 months to a year before public release? Hell they could've already made a next gen version with the time they had.

This is what I thought was going to happen, but I see them still releasing for the 360.

The new games are usually available on the older consoles for a while after the next gen release.
