GTA V Will it be the final MAJOR release for this generation of consoles?

We're all waiting for the new consoles to be announced. Otherwise we're playing GTA V on PC. If we built another PC right now, it would be light years ahead of even these new next gen consoles. No problem running the GTA V. This new trailer is good BTW.

Let me clarify I did not finish GTA IV. It's possible I may try to continue my game sometime before V is released, but that probably will not happen. I'd rather play Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Halo, Battlefield, I can't imagine having to deal with that cell phone gameplay again.

I'll try out V for sure. Stock is owned in 2K & I'm always hoping to find that same joy in 1 of these new GTAs, that I found in Grand Theft Auto III. I think a lot of it had to do with GTA3 just being the first game that gave you such an insane sandbox of freedom. When the FBI showed up, I knew some shit was about to go down & it only got better from there.

Then there will be the whole PC VS Console battle. How much of this NEW GTA's capabilities will be capped just because it has to come out on XBOX 360 & PS3. Where is the Wii-U version without the guns? It will at least be in HD. Finally a GTA on a Nintendo hardware in HD. Forget that, that's not going to happen.

The trailer looks great. It's obviously a PC version. You can't just add a bunch of lens flares, bright lights, & smoke effects & say you're the best looking halerrrrr Xboerrrr home console game ever. So with that said, size, characters, & all sorts of technical stuff has to be limited when you have to consider stuff running on the Xbox or PS3 right now. These consoles can not handle what Cliffy B, Bungie, Randy Pitchford -or your favorite designer- can dream up right now. I can't wait for the next generation, it's going to be dead serious.

GTA 3 was the last one I got into, but I got sick of it pretty fast. This one just isn't on my radar.

I think you're right. 720 is due out late 2013 and PS4 will most likely follow soon after. If you've ever seen the tech demo for the new unreal engine:

It's pretty easy to tell that current gen consoles couldn't handle that. The tech on them is just far too old now. They're squeezing every last bit they can get out of them, but when you compare the graphics of the same games on PC you can tell just how much the consoles of today are showing their age.

But the one thing I wanna know is...why hasn't GTA V been announced for PC? PC got no RDR love either. ;(
