Really want to buy GTA V, but I am just put off that it's on old consoles! I have a PS3, but I'd much rather wait for a PC release and have it looking as good

Really want to buy GTA V, but I am just put off that it's on old consoles! I have a PS3, but I'd much rather wait for a PC release and have it looking as good as it can, and silky smooth. Or am I being prejudiced? Does it run OK on a PS3?

As it is a massive commercial product that is developed to run on PS3 and Xbox 360 I'm sure it runs "OK" on the PS3.

  I generally find I'm perhaps more sensitive to lower frame rates than more casual gamers!

    Are you insinuating that GTA V is targeted at casual gamers?

      No... Just my observation that most people I know (and most people I know want to play GTA V if they haven't already) seem to have a higher tolerance for a lower frame rate than I do.

      It is.

They require no long-term time commitment or special skills to play, and there are comparatively low production and distribution costs for the producer." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual_game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual_game

I had noticeable frame rate drops on PS3, but it's still an incredibly fun game to play. 8 hours in so far and a smile on my face the entire time,

I'm usually gaming on a 120hz monitor, and I'm actually having some problems playing GTA V due to the low frame rate. However, it's so much fun that I can't stop playing. When the PC version comes I'll probably double dip.
