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

I know when the PS5/Xbox Series X/S came out they were referred to as "next generation" while the previous consoles were "current generation" when talking about games that were released on both consoles, for example NBA 2K.

I can see why you're confused and I agree that enough time has passed that we can start calling the PS5/ Xbox series X/S current generation.

I think that calling them next gen was okay up to the point that they became readily available.

Who cares? Rockstar is a joke. Play it years from now, it'll be carried for 10+ years

Yeah if I ever were to play this game, it'd probably be a long time after release and the inevitable slew of bug fixes etc

Mark my words as the real JC Denton, this game will be bad

Except for the online.

That will be bad and full of microtransactions

Honestly, based on current gaming trends, I'm fine either way. Everything is releasing in an almost important state for the first 6 months to a year anyway.

Reasons I never buy any of their games.

  • Shitty studio practices
  • Ignoring PC the first year

Haven't they been calling these the "next Gen" consoles for awhile? I also don't agree with changing the title to not match the article.
