GTA 5 on PS4 ?

AMG762

I have seen rumours on the internet that GTA 5 could be released on the PS4 in the next few months. Has anyone heard any definite news on this or maybe a possible release date?

I currently still have the ps3 as have been waiting for more games to be released on the ps4. Think will invest in the ps4 should they release GTA 5 for it

It's all just a huge rumour. Nothing has come from Rockstar officially, it's just a petition that's been signed to bring GTA V to the PC, so people are starting to think they'll make a next-gen version of the game for the consoles too. Word of advice; don't listen to any rumours. Wait until Rockstar officially announce it's existence.

As above user said, nothing has been announced. It's just a lot of rumour and speculation at the moment. Rockstar has released the last GTA titles on the PC a little while (maybe a year or so?) after the initial console release. This is probably fueling the speculation of a PS4/Xbone release, but no one can give a definitive answer until Rockstar say something on that matter.

They'd have to reprogram the whole thing. Can't see it happening.

I've got my fingers crossed for some concrete news at E3 next month. Here's hoping...

Tomb Raider? The Last of us?
There's a very good possibility, especially if a PC version comes out as I believe it's much easier to port a next gen version of this.

And the fact that it sold over 32.5m copies, I'd guess that they might be tempted to remake for PC and next gen! I'd certainly buy it again.

I too have heard its coming to PS4. Quite frankly I think the console needs it. Think i read somewhere the last of us was also coming..

There's a major difference between Tomb Raider/The Last of Us and GTA5 - not least of all the fact GTA sold multiple times more copies than both of those combined. If I was to make an educated guess I'd say it's currently being worked on, but you can't just release a next gen port of a game like that, you're going to need to include something else with it. That's why I don't foresee any next gen port of GTA until such times as there have been at the bare minimum 2 extra single player mission packs for the game to bundle with it as a Game of the Year edition.

Releasing a verbatim port works for stuff like launch titles, mostly as they're released either at the same time OR shortly after original launch of the game, thus people will stall on buying it in favour of next gen. (see Ghosts) But GTA on the other hand was THE game of last year, only reason it wasn't gaming event of the year was the next gen launch and even then, it's a pretty close run thing. When you have sales of over 30m that's a considerable market who've been there, done that & got the t-shirt so you need to have something more for those people. There's also the fact that 30m sales of GTA5 versus 6-7m sales of next gen hardware, meaning there's atleast 20m+ who didn't upgrade their hardware. You're only looking at a maximum sales figure of 10-12m if you ship by Christmas 2014 worldwide. That's enough for your standard run of the mill annual stuff, for GTA, well that'd be a disappointment.

I'm not ruling it out, but I am saying there needs to be some things happening before it'll come out - also wouldn't surprise me if there was a time based exclusivity clause in place. Something along the lines of "must only be released on PS3 & Xbox 360 for a period of no shorter than 12 calendar months" - Rockstar have form for that.
