No plans for next-gen GTA…yet

Much to my own surprise, considering just how little I enjoyed GTA IV, I am digging the heck out of GTA V. It’s just more vibrant less gritty, and decidedly more fun. What Rockstar has managed to wrought with the current consoles is quite frankly staggeringly impressive – but you can’t help but wonder what a next generation GTA would be like.

Speaking to The Guardian, Rockstar’s Dan Houser said that while the developer was interested in shiny new tech, they had no real plans of doing anything with it yet, as far as GTA was concerned.

“Of course we’re interested. But no, not in terms of GTA, because we’re always working on the current game. We look at the tech at a more practical level: what will be ready for which game that we’re working on further down the line. We don’t have another GTA in development, we don’t work on three of these games at a time. That would be phenomenally depressing.

“So, in terms of GTA, no. We get pitched by the hardware manufacturers on what they’re planning to do and our tech guys come up with ideas on how that could be used. Does this influence design decisions. Of course. But we’re not sat there fantasising about 10 years down the line. We’re so busy with what we’re doing right now.”

There’s still no word on whether or not Rockstar will release an up-scaled, higher-def version of current videogame darling GTA V on any of the next-gen consoles or PC, though there are signs that it’s happening.

On that note; what city would you like to see the next GTA based in? If we’re going to be revisiting previous locations, and as much as GTA has become about satirised slices of Americana, I’d really love for a GTA London.

    I would just like to see a GTA5 for PC really… If that happens then they might as well go for PS$/Xbone since I can’t imagine the architecture is a lot different.

    Well I am planning on getting Watch Dogs to keep my busy till it hits PC or if it ever hits PC…

    Also need to get the collectors edition for D3 exp… So I won’t be bored!

    I think a GTA set in Italy could be pretty shweet – they already drive like nutters on those Italian roads (when I was in a taxi in Rome, I genuinely feared for my life… And I don’t scare easily…), so if the game can replicate that, it’ll fit right in. 🙂

    Or perhaps one set in Germany? I’d just love the scenery (loved my time in Germany, so have a very soft spot for it in my cold, dark heart). 🙂

        Hey man. I took Rockstar’s advice and installed the first disk and simply play off the 2nd disk. No usb at work.

        I had some pop-in textures during the opening credits (when it shows you panoramic views of the city). But, since then, I’ve had no issues in-game. All seems happy.

            Eish… That ain’t cool at all! What model Xbox is he running? New or old? If older, perhaps the older chipset (they changed it up slighly when releasing the ‘newer’ shape box…)

          • The Noble TiMsTeR

            September 19, 2013 at 09:06

            Its old xbox, Mines also old but I been through 3 hey so last model is 2010 one with newer chip, His think is first batch. I get the occasional pop up when driving very fast but otherwise good. His looks like crap at times.

            September 19, 2013 at 09:13

            Hmm… That may be the answer then… Mine is a 2011 model – new, slimline version (my 3rd xbox since 2006. So not bad).

            Shame man – I hope you guys can sort it out… Although it may simply be a hardware limitation. I would be a sad panda if I were him… 🙁

      I get the feeling that they are really not just about the money, they make money by just releasing their games…. Maybe it is just a smoke screen but when they talk to the media they don’t come over as money mongers like an EA for instance… Maybe I am just dreaming or miss reading their interviews…

        I guess again its just me and how the gaming industry has been for a while now. Its all about the money and less about the games. Rockstar does seem to not be about the money, but one never knows.

          I think their games are really just so good that they don’t need PR bullshit to sell their games, because you just want to own it. The last GTA I played was GTA 3 and they lost me along the way. But Red Dead Redemption was a truly epic game, I have played and owned it on both the PS3 and Xbox 360…

      Doing a u-turn on the one street (with no traffic in the oncoming lane in a peaceful, car friendly neighbourhood 🙂 ) and a cop car rear ends me… He just didn’t slow down. And guess what? That sets him off! Suddenly I’m a wanted man… With 2 stars already!! Even though it was HIS fault! Argh! Felt like I was down south in America with the ‘good ‘ol boys’ chasing me!

    ““Of course we’re interested. But no, not in terms of GTA, because we’re always working on the current game.”

    Yes, and it only took you a year to make GTAIV for the PC after it launched on consoles. Right.
