Why do people always think this new versions of "old" games are targeted to gamers as a whole... Its easy enough to realize they aren't, they're targeted at people that still doesn't own it on the older platform. The people re buying are just a very small slice and devs known it. Smart business if you think you can expand with small investment. That is why remastering is a thing these days. I have been a customer to this because in the past some games were overlooked and this is a good thing for me.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't understand why they would want to port GTA to PS4/XBOX ONE. Surely the majority of people who wanted it have already bought it by now. I would've thought they'd be better off launching something new, where 30m don't already own the game...

WHERE IS THE PART WERE THE ROCKSTAR EXEC IS TEASING? same dumb rumors from these dumb twitter posts these no name websites like to make an article about

You shouldn't be admitting to not understanding something that obvious.

I don't have buy ps3 version in wait of ps4 version, and i am not alone who waiting like this.

I will buy it again on both PS4 and PC, the PS4 version for great graphics on my 46" LED and the PC version for the mods.

It's not that I don't understand why they would do it, more that I would've thought that efforts would be more rewarding for them if they released a new game on next gen instead of a port. If it's developed by Rockstar it's pretty much guaranteed sales. I would've thought it more important for their brand to release something new and amazing on PS4/XBOX ONE as opposed to a remaster. It just seems like a silly decision to me... 

Developing a new game on the new platforms takes years if it's supposed to be an open-world game of Rockstar quality. On the other hand a mere port takes just months, can be handled by the less experienced employees and gives them nice experience with new hardware - there is no need to involve top talent into this. GTA V port would be pure profit, as the costs would be marginal and the game would sell a couple millions. Not nearly as much as the PS360 version, but would earn a lot of money and wouldn't affect the release of the next game. A PS4/XO/PC version makes too much sense.

Would be awesome if they offered an upgrade program for existing owners, say $15-20 to upgrade to next gen.

Given that there is a lot of people waiting for a PC version, it makes sense for Rockstar to port across to PS4/XB1. Personally I wouldn't buy it for full price because I've already got it, but it'd definitely be successful for rockstar. The improvement in loading times alone would be nice.
