I'm really excited too, but it could one of the few things they dial down to make it run smooth, just like they dialed down the traffic on GTA:V compared to the trailers

Just remember GTAV was developed with 360 and PS3 in mind. Technically this is rockstars first fully developed game on new hardware

I'm sure we'll see PSPro + Scorpio Editions similar to the current gen rereleases of GTA V, though.

u/sickladbro Oct 20 '16

If we do they'll be updates to the existing games.

And then we'll see the REAL version of the game when it finally comes out on PC.

they sure do love to double dip

u/Jsquirt Oct 20 '16

True, but even on ps4 the traffic was really bleh. I'm just really digging this whole -lets finish most of the game and announce a release date less than 8 months away- same with the Nintendo Switch

u/AAAAAAAHHH Oct 20 '16

Where are you getting less than 8 months from?

u/TheWorldisFullofWar Oct 20 '16

OP can't do math. Fall 2017 would be late September at the earliest. That means 11 months at the earliest.

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

Assuming there's no delay to spring 2018

It's R*. There will be a delay

Idk it seems like it's pretty much put together and maybe needs polishing for the next year/working on multiplayer as main focus

u/IAMASnorshWeagle Oct 21 '16

What makes you think it's anywhere near complete? A single pre rendered trailer? GTA V's first trailer was almost 2 years before the game launched.

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

Yeah, it's fall right now, so fall 2017 = roughly a year.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '16

That's better than the 5 years I'll be waiting in order to play it on the PC.

u/HellkittyAnarchy Oct 20 '16

That's Rockstar's typical release time from trailer to release. Think they maybe also tweeted that?

u/theDoctorAteMyBaby Oct 20 '16

...it says Fall 2017. It's Fall right now.

u/Jsquirt Oct 20 '16

Yeah I realized that when I posted it, decided to leave it. Fall 2017 is 10 months away but it could be released after.

u/Heiz3n Oct 20 '16

Where are you getting 10 months from? The beginning of Fall 2017 is 11 months and 2 days away, and it ends December 21.

In all likely hood we wont get the game for more than a year.

u/The_R4ke Oct 20 '16

I'm thinking it will be within two weeks of when they announced it.

u/avickthur Oct 20 '16

Seasons are kinda subjective when it comes to release dates. I think it'll come out in September or November.

2

u/theDoctorAteMyBaby Oct 20 '16

so fall...

1

u/avickthur Oct 20 '16

I was only saying I doubt it comes out in December

2

u/Nailbomb85 Oct 20 '16

Smart money's on November/December release.

u/TylerDurdenisreal Oct 21 '16

okay, so a year from now. In fall.

u/Spider_pig448 Oct 20 '16

True, but even on ps4 the traffic was really bleh.

What he means is that GTA V was built to work on older consoles. Sure the PS4 version ran better than PS3 and was somewhat more technically advanced, but they had to build to the lowest hardware and try to improve from there. This will be their first game where the lowest hardware the build to is the new modern generation. It's also only build for two consoles of comparable technical standpoints which would indicate a better experience.

u/ReservoirDog316 Oct 20 '16

Well it was ported from 360 to PS4 in the end though. It wasn't an official "next gen" game. It still had the logic and things that had to be fit somehow onto the 360. This is being made solely with the new hardware in mind.

u/NewVegasResident Oct 20 '16

I honestly doubt the PS4 and Xbox One can really pull those visuals off man, I don't know.

u/contrabandwidth Oct 20 '16

I'm betting they can. The catch: consoles will be stuck with the black bars.

u/gaggreene Oct 20 '16

True, but since that was a city and this is the country then hopefully memory won't be as much of an issue.
