Why GTA V Isn't Next-Gen

Grand Theft Auto V is coming out so close to the end of this generation of consoles that many are wondering why Rockstar isn't holding it off until the next gen. Well, Rockstar has something to say about that.

 

"Rockstar is a content company, not a hardware company," said Rockstar's Dan Houser. "We use the technology we have to create content, and we try not to let ourselves get beholden to the hardware. The fact that hardware's so mature right now is exactly why we're able to go on to the next level.

 

"GTA IV was our first attempt at a new platform and HD visuals, so the first part of development was seriously difficult. Now we know what the hardware's capable of, so it's become a lot easier to move things along and a lot more fun, too. 

 

"GTA: San Andreas came out at the peak of the PlayStation 2's cycle, and we put out a really good game thanks to that. All the best games for a console come out at the end of the lifecycle, right? So now's the best timing of all."

 

So there you have it. Keep an eye out for a new GTA V trailer later today!

And now they can rush to make 6 for next gen, with crappy graphics and bad controls. They know it will sell anyways.

Next-gen wouldn't be a drastic change. HD/Blu-Ray is still ongoing and nothing has come past it except 3D. But who would make a 3D only game?
