Why Grand Theft Auto V Cross-Gen Is A Great Thing

"With the E3 announcement that Grand Theft Auto V will be a cross-gen title, we were a little more excited than normal. Here are the reasons why." -Play Legit

I've been waiting for GTA V PS4 since it released on las gen consoles. This and The Last of Us are the only games that I reckon are really worth remastering, and playing again on next gen consoles. But yeah, I do hope Rockstar sweeten the seal and add extra story DLC or something similar.

bacrec13594d ago

I really think they will.

AngelicIceDiamond3594d ago (Edited 3594d ago )

I don't think its worth ANOTHER 60$ bucks though. I'll probably pick it up when its cheaper.

@Saint

Lol no, its not. The story is terrific in all but the MP almost killed it.

I dunno if I wanna pay another 60 bucks for a next gen look of the game which looks fantastic but another whole 60$ fantastic?

Maybe a cool 30 bucks.

TheSaint3594d ago

No, it's worth double that.

lemoncake3594d ago

I played it so much that i also dont think its personally worth paying full price for again. If it had some extra content then i would probably get it sooner but as it stands i will wait for it to drop down a bit.

There is also just so much other stuff at the time of release to buy, which i haven't already played to death so its low on that list.

Yi-Long3594d ago

It's very simple: If you haven't played it before because you waited for a next-gen version, it will be worth 50-60 bucks for most people, and if you DID play it before, you can probably wait a bit till it comes down to 20-30 bucks.

Personally, I never played it before, so I'm likely to pick it up at launch, although it depends on what they'll announce, DLC-wise.

As I've always said before, 50-60 bucks is the maximum I'm willing to spend on a complete experience, so if this releases without content that they'll be selling separately, then I can wait a bit longer.

TheSaint3594d ago

I've had hundreds of hours of enjoyment from GTA:V and GTA:O, it (IMO) is easily worth double that.

Hell I'd probably pay $60 each for V and O.

R* (like only two or three other devs) could charge double and probably get away with it. Well maybe not but you see my point.

Of course this is all just my opinion.

They have been responsible for some of the highest rated (critically and otherwise)and biggest selling games of the last two gens.

That's not opinion though, that's fact.

KAEM73594d ago

I agree. But I will wait and see. If it is just a graphic improvement then another 60 bucks will be too much for me. If they put in new content and add a lot of things/improvements to the original content I might bite.

objdadon3594d ago

Trust me, you will be waiting a hell of a long time for gta 5 to go down to 30.00! Lol!

Yi-Long3594d ago

@Objdadon: I doubt it. 6 months tops. It will be competing with a lot of 'true' next-gen games this winter, so after the initial rush of people buying it because they want to play it again or they've waited for this next-gen version, sales and excitement will most likely drop withing 2-3 months, so the price will adjust to that situation.

I'll be in Hong Kong this fall, so no doubt I'll be able to pick it up for around 400HK$ (or less), which is about 40 euro. And in Holland it will probably have first week sales, where it will sell for 45-50 euro.

Don't forget last gen Valve released 'The Orange Box', which were 5 amazing great games, and even that very quickly dropped in price.

Why it not because I already have this game and instead of Rockstar wasting there time and money on a game that millions of people already have (Expect PC but then release it). Rockstar should of put there time and resources into a new game or sequel. If they wanted to remake a game into HD remake GTAVC/SA into HD.

weekev153594d ago

Id still really love this on WiiU. Imagine what they could do with the gamepad. Im actually fairly certain it'd make more than it cost to port, they already said they had it running on WiiU. Come on Rockstar/Take 2, make it happen?!

randomass1713594d ago

A Wii U version would be cool, but the unfortunate thing is the current install base is not a healthy market for third parties. There are exceptions of course, but third party games generally have not sold well on Wii U, to the point where ports just aren't worth it to the devs. It's extremely unfortunate but it's true.

bacrec13594d ago

Even just a simple Radio Station change with it would be cool.

voodoogts3594d ago

Another way to shed out another $60 .

WeAreLegion3594d ago

Nothing in this world will be able to stop me from handing Rockstar my wallet. I usually have such strong willpower, too.

TheSaint3594d ago

Has there been a better dev in the last two generations?

WeAreLegion3594d ago (Edited 3594d ago )

I'm not sure. Naughty Dog is definitely up there, but they're a smaller studio. Rockstar has several teams and locations.

Audiggity3594d ago

I agree. I have no willpower when it comes to Rockstar. My allegiance was fading slowly without the next-gen announcement and I had my doubts about transferring characters over from GTA:Online.

They came through on both.

Shame on me for questioning them.

tweet753594d ago

its not good in the fact taht its another previous gen remaster. Im just afraid this could back fire on companies if they keep doing this.

Spinal3594d ago

No it won't backfire. Cause we the consumers want these games on our new consoles. I've been waitin for GTA 5 to come to PC but now I'll get it on my ps4 because I feel it's better suited to console.

Also I'll get it on PC some day on a steam deal when the community have made some awesome mods.

DARK WITNESS3594d ago

It will backfire for other publishers/dev's if they are stupid enough to try this.

It can work for GTA and TLOU because those two games are arguably the two best games of the last generation and they were released late enough that their prob are a few people who have not played them yet.

I really don't see many other games getting away with it though.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

lucasnooker35d ago

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar34d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo35d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg35d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos35d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
