Ill probably still be on campaign lol i dont get much time to pwn these days :) saying that my ps3 has been on everyday this week for diablo 3 so hopefully i can do the same with gta
 
I wish they'd just confirm it's coming out for PC/next gen already! I'll still be getting it on my PS3 anyway.

I don't see why, really; after 7 years we're all aware of what the current gen is capable of, and it's still going to be a significant improvement over GTA4.

It'll be the people who have got themselves caught-up in the next-gen who aren't impressed with GTA5, but it's a case of managing expectations really.
Exactly mate nail on the head. The current gen is capable of exactly the same thing it was capable of 7 years ago, nothing has changed. I mean just look how crap GTA4 looked compared to PC. Logically, that gap can only get wider because the consoles have stayed exactly the same and PC hardware has gone through several more generations since.

Have fun spending the first month optimizing the game. :)
Hmmmm. Maybe if you have never used a PC in your life. Took me precisely 7 seconds to select optimal settings on GTA 4. Maybe it'll take 5-10 minutes at worst, but I certainly don't care. Remember I'm potentially waiting 6+ months :p
Lol considering all the screenshots are from pS3 it looks pretty good, why wait six months plus when you can play in 10 days

Yeah it looks good but it's not the best possible. It's like buying a DVD vs BluRay of the same film. The potential resolution increase alone makes the wait worthwhile to me. Not to mention exponentially larger textures, more foliage, better draw distance, more advanced shadows and reflections etc, etc the list is endless.

I don't see what the issue is?

I want to play the game with the best possible visual experience, and I am prepared to wait 6+ months.

End of story, it really is as simple as that. Don't like it? go cry.

Conveniently ignoring that the developers are capable of far more than they were at the start of the generation. Compare any early 360 or PS3 games to their later successors; Uncharted 2 and 3 are visually and technically superior in every way to Uncharted. GTA4 was 5 and a half years ago; you're deluded if you think it's going to look and run no better than GTA4 does.

If you're more concerned with shaders and foliage than actual gameplay, than go ahead and wait. Hardly seems worth it to me (assuming you don't have a console in the first place, that is).
 
What the heck? Why is everyone banging on about graphics over gameplay?

IT'S THE SAME GAME therefore same gameplay for goodness sake LOL :D

Well said :) with more powerful gaming systems gameplay has taken a hit because of the concentration on graphics (some games are exceptions though). I'd much more enjoy a better gameplay game and/or longer game over graphics any day. There needs to be a shift in many gamers minds as graphics is only a small part of the puzzle. We (well at least I) play games for the gameplay and not the graphics.
