It isn't double dipping, more ~1.2 dipping after selling the PS3 version for near enough full price.

But why would the console be omitted from this?
I personally think Sony has strucken some sort of deal with Rockstar. It has been very odd only seeing PS3 mentioned in the GTA V commercials, billboards, and trailers from earlier this year.
Same here.

I want to play it now so that's what I'll do. If the next gen version contains more improvements than just graphics I might double dip later.

You mean the kind of thing that happens all the time?
Including COD being only shown only on Microsoft platforms? I wouldn't read into it.
They've definitely struck some sort of deal but I don't think anyone thought it might go as far as next gen exclusivity.

I figured it would have to come out on next gen consoles at some point, so glad to see this. Some of my friends lack the patience to wait so they're picking it up right away. Me, I can wait. I would imagine the PS4 version should be a considerably better experience than the PS3 one.
Anyways considering the amount of hours I'll spend playing this game, I'd much rather do it with the Dual Shock 4.

So stoked for PC release! It'll look SO sexy.
You cancelled your pre-order even though it hasn't been confirmed?

Hopefully they have that $10 trade up deal.
That would be some nice revenge on MS for moneyhatting the GTA IV episodes. But highly unlikely...

I think the furthest Rockstar would take the deal would be like the PS2 days.
yes, the odds are that next gen versions are coming. I am not wasting money to buy a game twice.

Oh my fuck.
They've definitely got something going. Who knows?
Ludicrously slim.

Hopefully. Especially with no backwards compatibility I expect those deals to be the norm.
Hope you can trade up 360 to PS4 too...

I sure would if I was Sony. I don't even care about Agent anymore. Though as a gamer, I doubt we would gain anything from GTA5 being next gen exclusive to PS4. It's already a port of current gen, how much better could it be to have it exclusive to PS4. Might as well add XBO, they will both max the game out.

I expect GOTY editions for both of those games on PS4. Hopefully with some remastered elements.
We do. They have a co-marketing agreement. Take-Two did the same thing with MS for BioShock: Infinite. It's not really a rare tactic.
its like nobody remembers the Rockstar marketing for Max Payne 3 last year....
their entire selling point was that your progress and gangs would carry over to GTA 5. give it a rest with the "will it come to PC" hype.
learn how business works, the PS4 released date scheduled in Japan is a perfect example, they're doing it to try and maximize profits, they already know the Japan market is going to buy it, same thing with GTA, releasing a PC version isnt going to maximize console profits. just like Rockstar wasnt going to say the GTA 4 DLC was only 360 exclusive for 6 months and then would be available for all platforms and on top of that offered as a disc which doesn't even need GTA 4 to run. they presented it like the 360 was the only way to get that content, at the time. which is what Microsoft paid for.
just like a "free to play" game going on steam early access and just never giving a release date, if you knew the release date you could just wait, but they're gonna keep puting it off "we're not quite done yet, so who knows when we're gonna be finished, but if you pay $9 you can get in right now!"

It wouldn't be worth it because GTA V is already out on Xbxo360, PS3, & probably PC by the time it comes out on PS4.

Good man.
I meant "Who knows" as in: "Who knows if they are going to omit an XB1 version?" Sorry.
It was just a thought that popped into my mind. Since AGENT is all but dead at this point, additional sales of both hardware & software (from double dippers/new gamers) is never a bad thing. Grand Theft Auto is definitely a title that will have an impact.
Is anyone really surprised? Yeah, Sony leaked the PS4 version information. The PC information shouldn't be surprising since every other GTA has had a PC port. I'd honestly be more shocked if GTA5 didn't come to PC...
But really, the biggest question is: Is the PC version of GTA5 going to be optimized? GTA4 wasn't and for me, GTA3-SA was a mixed bag.
