Pb76 3,951 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sony splits crew in half. Nice work sony. My only hope is that hatch buys us all a ps4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It's only natural that this crew moves to PS4 as the game progresses, we have been a PS3 exclusive crew from day one and we all knew that the next GTA release would be next-gen. I think it's something which will need to be discussed. I know everyone won't run out and get a PS4 but I think the majority of this crew will.

furdog 525 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I know I'll be on my PS3 untill it dies, and it's the 40 gig fatty. Really undecided if I'll go with the xbone or PS4, though, if/when I move to the next gen. Having the crew to play online with makes the decision more difficult as my daughter really wants those silly dancing games that her friends have with the Kinect.

I think it's something which will need to be discussed. I know everyone won't run out and get a PS4 but I think the majority of this crew will. My argument is why buy a game which is essentially the same game but on a different console, a console that less than half the crew will own. This will split the crew in two, even though we're all playing the same game (some of us with less pretty graphics admittedly). I'm sure within a year or two we'll mostly all be on ps4 (one or two deserting to PC and eggbox and hopefully we will have gta6, and I'm not saying don't buy a ps4 now (I would if I had a spare £400), I'm just thinking is it worth decimating the crew for slightly better graphics?

JustHatched 12,103 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Over the next few weeks there will be some discussion on how we will progress as a crew on both consoles. Tentative idea will be I will play on both with commishes and LT's dedicated to each console depending on who is making the jump and who isn't. I get what you are saying PB, I think all do. But regardless some will move "up" to PS4 so as a crew we need to figure that into the grand plan.

Pb76 3,951 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It's workable to have a ps3 faction and a ps4 faction, but in effect it's two separate crews. Similar to trying to run the crew with members on ps3 and xbox1, planning events and challenges would exclude half of the crew straight away. All for a higher frame rate and better draw distance? It's a clever ploy by r* and sony to get us to part with our cash, buying the same game on a console you weren't going to buy yesterday. As I've said, I will be moving up, but not until at least v2 of the console, a price drop and the release of a must have game I can't get anywhere else.

alchemist3321 169 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think people have valid points with the announcement. The one most intriguing to me being that we are playing an expensive beta and working out the myriad of glitches we have all experienced for a smooth PS4 release.

G37 3,444 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think we are crossing bridges we haven't even come to yet. Undeniably they will appear in front of us at some point, but not now. "Fall" is still a long way off and as Hatch and others have pointed out, it's really not worth the worry of deciding what we will do as a crew until that time comes. Especially considering all of the details are far from known yet. HC brought up some valuable concerns about jobs and the like as well. As for me, I won't buy a PS4 until the end of the year anyway (still 6 months+, that's a long time). I cannot quite recall when the PS4 was initially launched, but I imagine a refresh of the console will be made available some time around the launch of GTA 5 for PS4 anyway, or at the very latest during the holiday season. Hell, there will probably even be another GTA 5 Bundle so I don't see the need to rush and buy a PS4 now or before then either. On the flipside though, this is an interesting move that in the long run seems like it will extend the longevity of this game as a whole which means more play time down the stretch. 1 Quote "If you ride like lightning, you're gonna crash like thunder." - The Place Between The Pines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny 1,061 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) GTA 5 is coming to PS4 this Autumn. I'm just wondering how many people of this crew is considering converting to PS4. If they do as they did in Battlefield, you will pay a small amount if you already have the game on PS3, and you will have the opportunity to transfer you're account with stats and equipment. So what's the verdict people? Is there an future for PS4 in this crew? Edited June 10, 2014 by RO9M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumdig 957 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm not worried... Danielle said that she'd buy me a ps4 in trade for DBucks! You guys should jump on this band wagon. Haha. Joking aside, I'll follow the crew majority or whatever is devised by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny 1,061 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sorry, didn't see the other topic, my bad! Anyway, the PS4 will appear in this livingroom anytime soon And I will probably play it on both platforms if it's possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge 7,248 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Staying PS3 for now at least. Will look at a 4 when the 3 dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny 1,061 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm just wondering if they will let people use both platforms? You probably want be able to play anymore on PS3 after converting :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VamosConio 128 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 There were so many quality trailers at E3, really excited for a number of games...AC Unity, MGS V, Far Cry 4, Inside, not to mention GTA V...the list is almost endless (although to be honest, I was really excited for Watch Dogs, but watching gameplay walkthrough vids on YT I'm glad I didn't invest in the PS4 just yet). Trailers, the majority of times, make games appear better than they are. I'm sticking with the PS3 for now until at least Christmas, but will definitely be investing in a PS4 in the near future.

Jwitfield 12 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) That does beg the question.. Myself and the one guy above are going to split off and play PC version.. What will happen then? Will we be booted from the crew? or will we be able to start a sub crew on PC? Guy above, I am buying pc version because of the modding aspect.. LCPDFR, adding real life cars, the enhanced graphics and such.. Hell GTA III is what got me into doing 3d.. I wanted to add shit into that game..
