Nice try Rockstar ...
It's not next gen ...
Don't ... just don't ...

Still not as fun as Unreal Tournament was in 1999
alternate fire rocket launcher FTW!
We haven't even seen consoles adopt 1080p yet and we're already talking about 2.5k and 4k?
Xbox One and PS4 will be 720p or 1080p resolution systems and it will take another 10 years to see a significant change to higher resolutions in living rooms.
There's also the law of diminishing returns that we have already seen play out with 720p vs 1080p and I suspect the same will happen as the resolutions get higher.
It's simply not ...
Too expensive ... let me know when it's 50% off
I think there's diminishing returns with a lot of these new graphics features. Many times you can switch from DX11 back down to DX9 and get massive increase in FPS with little loss in visuals.
Same with MSAA. That features wrecks my PC Gaming FPS but since i'm playing in 1080p resolution it's not all that important to have on.
Also nobody has figured out a way to introduce high quality shadows without a huge FPS hit. But when you turn them on...
My facts?

News Flash ...
Microsoft and Sony have lost BILLIONS of dollars on the PS3 / Xbox 1 and 360 ventures (and probably more than we think because of how corporations shift and manipulate business units and cost centers).
The difference is that Microsoft has godly revenue streams from other business units and Sony doesn't.
We;ll see what happens but neither business is profitable against overall losses and I suspect it will be even worse with ...
GTA V is basically going to be every gameplay convention thrown into a blender, right?

This is happening with a lot of games. I mean I pretty much just described Farcry 3 right?
Who plays all of these racing games?
There's too many
Seriously ...

The Microsoft and Sony console divisions (or entertainment divisions) have lost billions since the PS2 era of gaming ended.
The math of stuffing $800 worth of PC parts into a $399 console never worked.
Also remember Microsoft had to drop another 1 Billion on the while RROD fiasco.
Sony lost 6.4 billion in fiscal year ending March 2012.
The losses have been staggering.
The real console war for Sony and Micro...
The problem with Knack is that it's going to be a good game.
Because they're all good.
It's awesome that consoles will have 8 GB of RAM for these open world games!
Welcome to the year 2008 in PC gaming console crowd!!
Cliffy B is looking forward to this game!
Are these the actual real consoles at comicon that will launch or is this more DEV-kit prototype BS running off of PC's buried in the floor?
We never get clear answers as to what we're seeing.
Considering Sony and MS haven't figured out how to make money on their consoles it's absurd to think PC gaming is in bad shape.
What's the business plan for the Xbox 3 and PS4
Sell $2000 worth of hardware for $400?
Yeah ... that'll work ...
I have somewhat of an important question about Diablo 3 which I hope to hear some responses.
Since Diablo 2 was released World Of Warcraft has become a smash success by Blizzard.
Does anybody think there's a chance that D3 will seem like old-hat compared to World of Warcrack?
Also, won't Diablo 3 be competing with WOW within the same company?
MS is going to release another not-for-profit console?
Why?
Same with Sony. How is the current business model of NOT making any money on your product going to result in a new console for either company?
Makes no sense.
I'm more disappointed that there's no SSD option for the hard disks on these systems because I have a feeling that 500gb disk is gonna be slow as shit and that will be a bigger bottleneck than memory bandwidth.
