As they aimed for PS3 and XBox360, you can hardly say Next-Gen consoles. Its rather legacy consoles as the hardware represents PC technology from around 2004.
I wouldn't also not expect too much of graphics enhancements compared to GTA4, the hardware is finally the same. There were some nice screenshots but they're all awfully small compared to a PC screen. Afaik they couldn't even realise 720p in GTA4 as the cpu is simply too slow. The output signal was 720p but the rendered image was somewhat smaller and then just stretched.
I think the real fun comes back with the PS4 or a PC version for today's hardware.

The driving physics do look slightly bad. I think it will behave similar to L.A Noire's driving style. That's what I interpret when watching the leaked videos, anyway.
The driving isn't the main part of the game, so I'm not put off by this at all really.
I figure Rockstar shoots on everyone posting stuff about it as there are
hardly ANY video about it. The only videos left are just fakes. Quite
pathetic.
