I wonder

Is PS3 really holding it back? It's not like cutting PS3 out will all of a sudden give the game better graphics and whatnot. That would be ALOT of work I don't think they are willing to do. The most we would see is more little stuff... like hair.

Ill gladly take any QoL that we currently can't have because of the ps3. They don't seem to want to offer anything that the ps3 can't have right now for the more powered machines even as an option so if dropping the ps3 gives us these things then so be it.

They said right before HW that they are cutting PS3 when 4.0 hits. I am tired of the PS3 limitations.
Edit: Sorry made a typo.. Meant 4.0

They said right before HW that they are cutting PS3 when 2.0 hits. I am tired of the PS3 limitations.

they never said so.

[CuteWhisper]

they never said so.

Sorry meant 4.0. They said it somewhere when someone asked if they will still drop PS3 for 3.0 and they said: "No but the PS3 support will stop in 4.0"

They never said its a certainty, but 4.0 is when the consideration begins. If there is still a rather healthy playerbase on it that they don't think would migrate to PS4/PC version then it won't be dropped.

Ah sorry my bad misread wrong then. Still think it should drop... Tired of "PS3 limitations" excuses.

I think people will still be able to play on PS3? but devs won't balance the game around PS3, so fps might drop a lot in some cases.
I'm hoping they will increase lighting, texture and shader quality.

its not cutting ps3 out of playing, its not having a ps3 version of the next expac. all ps3 version would be getting after would be bug fixes and qol patches.

They have never said "PS3 limitations" They always say servers limitations. Guys they should drop the servers so we have no limitations.

Cutting out weaker consoles opens up more detailed future content. See GTA online when they dropped old gen consoles, content detail and size increased dramatically.

that is untrue. they arent doing anything in gta5 that wasnt possible on ps3. they just couldnt add more updates to it. on top of that, GTA has lacked much content AT ALL post ps3 with the exception of low riders (totally possible on ps3), the stupid boat, and now they have the executive stuff. But its not majorly dramatically detailed content at all. GTA5 is not a good example of how cutting the consoles opens up the content. All it did for Rockstar was make it so they wouldn't have to worry about how they designed the content because heists had already taken up so much of the memory. Like was said before....upgraded graphics and whatnot would take a considerable amount of work, work that SE has already made clear they have no interest in doing.
