Grand Theft Auto 5 “feels next-gen” to Rockstar, says firm
Speaking with IGN, Rockstar North associate technical director and combat designer Phil Hooker said part of the reason it feels next-gen to the developers is the team was familair with the hardware after developing GTA 4.
“Every aspect of the game had to be better, richer in gameplay and more fluid and knowing we were launching on the same platforms meant we could focus on extracting the most out of those consoles and making the game as fantastic as possible,” said Hooker.
“In the end we surpassed our own expectations and during development I think everyone working on the game has been astounded by improvements to the graphics, or new mechanics, or AI, or mission scope along the way.
“Hopefully the gamers will see all of these improvements at once in one go, compared to GTA 4 this definitely feels ‘next generation’ to us.”
Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released on September 17.

ProffesorGenki1 Rockstar really shouldn't of announced the release of GTA V on September 17th. One the new consoles are coming soon as in a few months and Rockstar should of waited until the new consoles came out to see what they can handle then they should've made the game better and improved it alot more because now Rockstar is in a sticky situation now
They worked on this for years. So they didn't even have the tools to even begin working on one for a Next-Gen Game. They need to worry about the PS3 and Xbox 360 that they actually were working on trying to max the graphics. I don't think they're in a sticky situation, everyone has a PS3 or Xbox 360 and will buy this if they like it.

Urf I watched a live stream earlier of the game being played. It definitely did seem next-gen or PC. It was a beautiful game and looked amazing and gameplay was fluent.
The gameplay graphics people streamed was crappy. i can't wait to see what the game looks like on my TV.

WispDestroyed The new consoles are over priced so I wil keep my Elite 360.I will only be keeping the 360 if there isn't a GTV V for the Xbox One.
GTA V looks amazing cant wait for the 17th
I will probably be keeping my xbox 360 for a little while anyways, as all of the games that I actually play will be for 360.
