Analyst: GTAV could outsell Call of Duty and go next-gen

yes you are right bully did the same . and do you have psp or xbox 360

@bigtimemad It's already confirmed for PS3 and Xbox, they're just saying that it'll probably be ported to the next gen consoles as well. Besides, no-one's expecting either console to be released that early.

@JusXice  GTA 4 SUCKED for the 360 and the PS 3 GTA san andreas was the BEST

@Metronoid  Then you have bad eyes then this gen sucks now

@jesuschristmonk Call of Duty will Dry out and everyone will be happy again :)

@itchyflop Even if it comes out on the new consoles, it won't be next gen. It will just being running in native 1080p with some higher res textures. It won't look uber amazing because it has clearly been designed for the current gen. If it does come out new machines then I'm going to take a wild stab and say that was a last minute decision ;p

@tgwolf Lol... You might want to take a deep breath there, before you give yourself a hernia.

The GTA bashing bandwagon was a thing created, mostly, by the media (and in some form as a marketing strategy). For the most part, GTA has always been a fairly normal mix of driving/shooting/action, with a story to bind it. It no sicker than donning an AK47 and shooting your way through enemies in any other violent video game.

That's not to say there weren't some very sick videos of people playing the game (murdering hookers etc.) but that's down to the individual more than the designers.

It also just dawned on me that I think I smell a troll :P

@tgwolf You know you're on a gaming website you fool?

@tgwolf Looks like someone just got out of the cave and realized this world isn't all butterflies and rainbows.

@tgwolf@tgwolf Umm, what? So any form of art or entertainment featuring morally dubious characters or violence is out, then? Because if you're morally opposed to the depiction of violence and immorality, then you're morally opposed to the chief subject matter of a huge percentage of books, movies, short stories, paintings, songs, poems, and more. Video games are not that different from other mediums, and your hand wringing isn't that different from the moral outrage over, say, Psycho, or 40's horror comics, or Rock N Roll, or violent western novellas, or any of the other scary new things that were supposed to be the downfall of human civilization. 

Crime and Punishment? Fargo? The fucking Fast and the Furious movies? Every Guy Richie movie ever? All of them feature violence and morally ambiguous protagonists, and as such are clearly "disguisting," right? For that matter, so do Morrowind and Baldur's Gate, two games that you (rightfully) praised in your user ratings. Or does the fact that they take place in a fantasy world somehow make it okay?

@THM80 Wii U isn't next-gen

@DaneGamer lol you don't know much about tech then do you. Even if the new consoles support 4k, the horsepower these machines would have in them would make them cost thousands. Even modern PC gaming systems using top of the line GPU's or dual GPU's (which are 400-500 bucks a piece) would sweat at 4k. These new systems are rumored to be using APU's (last gen bulldozer apu's to boot) which is the second from the lowest of the low end in terms of GPU performance. They might have 4k video support but the games will never be running at greater then native 1080p at 30fps if the rumored specs are to be believed. Even if the system is a bit more powerful it won't be THAT much more powerful since they have to sell them at a reasonable price. I doubt Sony is going to be selling a system at 700 bucks and at a loss, like last time. Even if they did that and the loss was over a thousand per system sold it would still struggle with running games at 4k. So ya don't expect that to happen.

@vincent_tai Well it really is that easy, PC ports are made all the time. It's easy to upgrade a current game made with current tech because all they have to do it run it at a higher native res and upscale the textures to that res...done. Fans do it through mods all the time, so it can't be that tough for dev's with whole teams at their disposal. 

 It's not easy to just HDify a 15 year old game since you know they would have to build it from the ground up from scratch. Just HDing ff7 wouldn't really make it look that much better. I know because you can already run FF7 in native 1080p (or higher) on the PC version. It just looks clearer but the game still doesn't look very good ;p You can mod the ever living crap out of ff7 replacing the textures/models for virtually everything and while it looks better, it still doesn't look great. The game is just to old to toss an HD paint job on it. It would need to be remade from scratch to bring it up to snuff.

@vincent_tai  Well actually the real reason is that they believe that Final Fantasy VII is a legend and a guarantee success. Its like their trump card.

If they want to make it with the last graphics engine (CryEngine 3, Unreal 4, FrostBite 2, Luminous) it will take 3,5 years to complete (that's what people from SquareEnix said) and I suppose over $50m budget (maybe over $100m, they already created a movie for Final Fantasy with budget $200m, they will probably spend a lot for the game that made Final Fantasy popular allover the world).

Maybe they are keeping Final Fantasy VII for a day that they will have financial problems and just a DX9 version (low budget obviously) of FFVII might save the company from bankruptcy.

I just hope that they will remake the Final Fantasy VII with the latest tech which many of the old players such myself will buy it and also it will attract new players too (it has already good gameplay, epic music, godly and huge story so combining it with last tech graphics is a win win).

@vincent_taiIf you haven't heard Square Enix's response they said that they will wait till another FF sells as well as FF VII.
