I’m confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

    Yeah, we’ve not had a generation run short for 20 years. Even then most last 6 years historically and I think people’s perception is skewed because Microsoft rushed out the 360 quicker than normal.

    What would new consoles even be at this stage? They’re still fast, can do 4k, some ray tracing etc. and yeah they compromise on things but you need to spend more on a graphics card alone to get more on PC. The cost vs benefit isn’t there yet not to mention (anecdotally) the “general public” talk about current consoles as if they’re new, so I don’t think there’s an apatite or need.

      The general public didn’t have access to them for almost 2 years. Ps5 and Series are functionally 1 year (maybe year and a half) into wide adoption.

      I’m not saying it’s necessary but “some raytracing“ is very little, the next hardware refresh will be a lot more raytracing.

      They’ll run longer for sure. We will get slim versions here in a couple years or pro versions like with the PS4 pro.

      Next gen won’t happen until ray tracing is truly established and AMD has a solution to ray tracing and frame generation technologies.
