Right, we knew it'd be a March-May release for Xbox 360 & PS3.

Whilst we have no guarantee of a PC port, it usually drops in later on in the year.

Now I was thinking over the past few days, GTA games have a huge lifespan expectancy and it's years between games.

It's no secret the Next Gen consoles will be releasing in line for Christmas 2013.

GTA V will release for the current-gen meaning GTA V will be backwards compatible come the new Gen. However GTA V will only have taken the 360 and PS3 into consideration and if the 8GB memory high processing next-gen console specs are true then where do we go from there. It's a missed opportunity. Could add countless things and make the map essentially huge.

I have reason to believe Rockstar will release an updated version with more content and utilize the next gen machines.

I have tried to get in touch with sources including the person that I got the Los Santos leak from and thus far he's given me nothing.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Of course then that would mean the PC release expected later in the year should be the updated and improved version. Not strictly true as Rockstar would look at the options currently available on PC that weren't so dominant when GTA IV release, speaking of course about the Steam client and Origin.

Has this been done before? Simply put, yes it has. See FIFA 2007 released for the Xbox & PS2 then later re-done and released on the Xbox 360.

Note also it could be a quick sequel (addon) similar to the ballad of gay tony but released for Next-gen etc.

Reason for me believing this is again simple. Are Rockstar going to support and release DLC for a game on a console that will be past-tense come Christmas... No they are not. Why release a game that after Christmas will stop selling... exactly. Again the Blu-ray space and power of the consoles mean the potential could be huge.

FIFA 2014 will also follow this route (Don't see why seen as though it releases later in the year and they could just hold off for the console release)
