GTA V is not coming to PS4. Maybe.

nope

Currently, GTA V only has two places to go. Playstation 3, or Xbox 360. Which is a shame, because I’d really like to see the game flex some muscle on a next-gen console. And maybe PC. So what happens when the game gets confirmed for PS4? The internet goes balls-mad, that’s what. Pity it’s not happening though.

The SonyUK Twitter account responded to a fan who was clearly excited for “GTA V Miami”, saying the following:

Whoops, looks like that was a slip of the finger there though, as GTA 5 isn’t headed to PS4. The Sony account apologised for that typo, with Rockstar confirming the mistake to Kotaku.

At this point, we’re pretty confident that GTA V is going to be one of the biggest sellers of the year. Gamers are already in a frenzy for the title, and there’s going to be a lot of cash heading to either the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 platforms in the future.

And even if the game is headed to PS4, not revealing that info is a smart move. Gamers who are looking to invest in next-gen could hold off on buying the game until the PS4 launches, and with GTA V costing plenty of moolah to produce, that’s a move that could hurt those crucial first-week sales.

    Makes no financial sense if it doesn’t hit other platforms. After all it’s about money. It’s not personal, it’s just business.

      They’ll prob release PS4 version 6 months to year later once they’ve taken the cream off of the PS3 market

        They said that they cant do it. The programming is totally different. Otherwise we would have had San Andreas for this gen. Rockstar would rather move to the next project for their next 2 Billion Dollar earner to make the next fiscal year give their accountants and share holders another boner.

        Expect all resources to be focused on the Multiplayer as they have something up their sleeves.

            GTA:SA
            Corruption, theft, untried criminals and murderers. They call it a video game, we call it everyday life.

            http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/gta_5_goes_gold_rockstar_disappointed_by_leaks,2.html THIS. it is indeed coming to pc, no doubt it will be able to run on next gen console due to next gen console’s being x86.

          Mind you, this GTA : Online they keep talking about could be headed for next-gen. You have a point.

          Yes but GTA Online is designed to go on forever. PS3 isn’t. That is why there is a PS4 port waiting in the wings ready to go on sale 6 months after the PS3 launch, when PS3 sales dry up. PS4 is the future. GTA Online confirms it.

          This article is about a genuine typo error, but what is telling about it is Rockstar’s response. They were unable to state GTAV is not coming to PS4 because that would be a lie.

          Playing GTAV on PS3 will be a spoiler for when I play the PS4 version in high quality, as well as a waste of money buying two copies.

      Yes, but timing is the key thing. Release too early and you could delay the initial games sales, leading to media headlines “GTA V flops at only 2 million day one sales” We would not want that, now would we?

      Yes. Obsession with graphics gets in the way of great game-play. But great graphics can, for a time, hide poor game-play.

        Great graphics has never influenced my view on a game. Some of my favourites remain some of the most basic. But you really do get people who are all about the graphics.

          I’m not one to go all gaga over graphics but at times, graphics enhances the story and overall experience to a degree that games with lesser graphical capabilities could never. All about balance, graphics should never be the main focus of a game, after all it’s a game, not a tech demo

            I suppose most sandbox games to depend on immersion and graphics has to be king. But after Sleeping Dogs I found that it was the game play and fun story that made that game so memorable.

            Also, I think Aliens had better graphics than Darksiders 2 but Darksiders was a great fun game where as Aliens was a white crusty dog doo doo with lots of brown underneath.

            My profile name says it: I’m playing New Vegas once again. Loving it more now than I did the first time around. Fallout 3 felt more barren, but NV just has so much more to do.

            Very true. But I bought it on the Steam Special, DLC’s included. Plus I’m a bit of a Fallout fan. I have a Nuka-Cola lamp in my study.

            Well Aliens looked amazing in the demo they lied to us about, I don’t know what they were focusing on, graphics or deceit??

            And I agree with you on the sandbox thing. Most Sandbox games rely on the open world and gameplay as a hook, SD was a hugely underaprreciated gem, I honestly don’t know why it wasn’t a huge hit. I look at prototype and think how much potential that game had, story wise…but, alas story seems to always take a back seat

    True, all new games released before the launch of the next gen stands a chance of losing out on first week sales. BUT… and its a big BUT… These companies are doing it intentionally (I think) to force those crazed gamer fans (like me) to buy the game on old gen (because we cant wait) and then on the new gen (because we “just have to”). DOUBLE SCORE for them..

    As with the PC version they can’t exactly announce it beforehand can they…after all people would rather hold off for a confirmed PC/PS4 version if they knew it was coming December/Early next year (I mean why wouldn’t you?).

    With all of Sony’s screw-ups lately I wouldn’t be surprised if the next version of GTA is exclusive to Xbox. Sony deserves to be beaten severely about the face and lips for being so retarded.
