Two consoles. The current gen release is supposed to be next year.
Yes, but it was already designed to take some advantage of the newer hardware too though. Just not yet fully optimized for it completely. Making the games forward compatible wasn't just "run the ps4 version on the ps5" easy. The systems don't typically work that way, which is why forward compatible game releases aren't all that common.
They did have to make changes to run the current game version on the new system, and those changes can already be clearly seen in the game performance.
That said, the game optimization is continuing for the new gen consoles, which is why they are getting a separate release on top of this... which current gen game owners will get for free after release when they get the next gen console (or if they already have the current gen version of the game playing on the next gen console).
In one of The Wire episodes prior to release, they touched a bit on the challenges releasing the game to work on both current and next gen consoles presented
Haha i'm sure it's not as terrible as the videos show all the time, but I love videos like this, esp if they have a narrator lol. The UFC ones, and the WWE game ones were the best.
I did have a bad render of Johnny Silverhand once last night outside V's apartment. He was partially morphed into the wall, and those digital blue streaks that seem like an aura around him from time to time caused his face to fail to fully render, leaving him faceless... no eyes nose or mouth.
Only bad render moment I've had in 12hrs of game play.
I did have a problem calling the car to me yesterday as well... I was a couple levels down from where the car was previously and it tried to take a path to me without roadways and got caught up in some structures between... smashing itself to pieces...I could hear it... I walked towards the sound and found it repeatedly trying to tumble over...I climbed up to the road, called it again and it arrived in terrible shape.
I thought maybe the game was making it appear as it was street chopped or something... all the doors were gone, the trunk lid was gone, the front and rear bumpers were gone. I hadn't just left it in the street for so long before. When I called it again later though it was in pristine shape, so just figured it was from just getting smashed to bits in the calling glitch.
That said...I find motorcycle riding to be SO MUCH smoother and well done in this game than car driving. So easy to get around on the motorcycle without hitting anything... weaving in and around traffic, splitting lanes between cars etc. Love it!
I'll collect cars still, drive them occasionally even, but the choppers are definitely my preferred method of travel!
