I really hope that it's not all like that the roads to start with are all so flat and plain.
Maybe, just maybe there will be tessellation supported but I wouldn't hold my breath. They had it in Max Payne 3 but that wasn't an open world game.

Don't get this game , , you're friends will miss you.
I've spent 5 days on the ps4 version and haven't really done much of the single player and the heists are due.
Looking forward to seeing the pc one though too pls be oculos'ed

Tessellation adds in geometry detail at reduced cost to directly rendering it ,say bricks for example done with better shape too .

I've been tempted a countless amount of times to buy it for my Xbox One (that I never use anymore, in a way it's my brother's now)...but NO. I shall resist temptation and be patient enough to play GTA for the first time on PC!

Ah man, I already have a list of stuff to do when I start; I've watched literally hours of gameplay on YouTube and know where to go to find some of the best vehicles instead of buying them.

One question though: I noticed from the strategy guide that a few vehicles are only for the collector's edition or whatever - will these be included in the PC version? Were they in the next-gen version? There isn't any collector's edition for next-gen or PC, so I'm guessing they will be included?


See, I don't get watching hours of gameplay on youtube....so the game isn't a surprise, thats like watching someone screw your wife so you can then jump in hours later.

Oh my god I never thought about this being on the Rift. I'd buy one specifically for it if it was.

What's tessellation?
@AsRock was complaining about flat roads, that's why I mentioned tesselation (short name for tessellated displacement mapping):

If they do it'd be amazing. No one plays in first person to be competitive (races and pvp). But I love driving around like it and doing missions in first person. It's extremely immersive, they've done such an amazing job with first person. I actually haven't seen many games I would be excited to try Occulus on, but thinking about it on this, I truly would be. They went above and beyond what I or anyone else I've talked to ever expected from the first person camera.

When I found this out...I was so frustrated!

But...

I know that Rockstar are really passionate towards the PC release, stating things like: "The PC version of Grand Theft Auto V is our most graphically and technically advanced version yet".
So I know they won't disappoint and the push-backs of the release dates are for the greater good :clap:

I have too many games in my Steam library from the Christmas sales anyway, so it's not like I'm going to be twiddling my thumbs while I wait :p
Maybe, just maybe there will be tessellation supported but I wouldn't hold my breath. They had it in Max Payne 3 but that wasn't an open world game.

Never know huh, it would be my 1st GTA i never bothered with. GTA 4 nailed it on the Physics side of the game so maybe they thought if the cars are going be like that your going need roads to go with.

Like many other i love driving in GTA games and GTA4 is even better now as it's even more playable, well for me at least.

I just hope all their effort has not gone in to making it look pretty. And if you can still influence the car in mid air well that will kill it for me too.

Ahhh okay =)

Well for me, it's a way to "pump" myself up for the release and to really maximise my anticipation. I'm strict with myself in a sense though; I don't watch spoilers or anything mission-related and don't watch so much footage that it gets boring. That would sap all the joy out of it for me when I finally get to play.
Other than that, it won't spoil it for me =)

@AsRock was complaining about flat roads, that's why I mentioned tesselation (short name for tessellated displacement mapping):

Oh, this makes sense now, because I thought he was complaining that the gradient of the road was too flat. I was going to say, that was just one highway road in the city, haha!

I'm rebuying GTA V just for the first person, so that's good to know - I'm still not sure if I'm holding out to buy a PS4 and get that version or just get it on PC. I want native controller support though, at least for the 360 controller so I can use my PS3 controller. I'll get it on PC regardless if it got Rift support though.

Don't fall into the trap of getting a next-gen console! I did and I wasted 400 odd quid :(
GTA V will offer full controller support, says so on the Steam store page :)

I found this awesome satellite image of Los Santos & Blaine County on the internet. The resolution is so good! You can zoom in pretty far with no pixelation.



It was simply too big to send as an attachment =P

No trap, consoles are awesome and there are plenty of exclusives worth buying on most.
Fair enough, I guess each person has to decide if it's worth it or not.

Also the price of this Gens consoles is a lot less than the previous Gen. I only had a PS3 last Gen, think it was over $650 after tax and warranty. I have both consoles this Gen for about the same price (I did buy my XB1 used, came with some games so I sold them to make back some money). So it's not nearly the plunge for one of the consoles as it was before. Heck right now you can get a PS4, controller, 1 game (Farcry 4 or a few other decent ones), and 6 months of PSN for $360 on ebay, all brand new items.

I haven't played GTA sense the first one. Gonna try this one

Going to be a big leap, games come a long ways since the first GTA, not only in camera angle but a lot else.

it's a good deal. you get free games and discounts every month with PSN Plus. Apotheon and Transistor were free in Feb.

I dislike the business model where you pay subscription for the connection (on top of your ISP) only to be rewarded with indies. Steam business model is more appealing, you don't pay extra for connection and you are rewarded with discounts on triple A titles.

... but that's kinda off topic ...

I bought GTA 4 for PC back in '09 and it was plagued with inconsistent framerates throughout the game world. Difference was huge between Times Square and for example the docks in Brooklyn in the beginning. The game got much better optimized after all expansions and patches, but overall it took eons to finish that port. Will we see that scenario again this time? I hope not.

you pay $50 for 1 year access to PSN Plus but you get way more back in Free games including AAA titles. the time cards go on sale too.

I own nearly 500 games on my Steam account so the sales don't really do it for me anymore and I didn't think the 2014 sales were good like the previous year :p

It's not all indie games, at least not on PS4, on Live it seems to be. In December they gave away Injustice for free.

GTA IV was a lot different scenario. 4 was in the middle of a console cycles life, they didn't go back and update the engine and a ton of other things to bring it to new consoles. I've played it on PS3 and PS4, the difference is jaw dropping. Honestly, if they just did some optimizations, they could have brought the PS4 version right to PC and people would have been happy as hell, it looks amazing and plays great. But they didn't they wanted even more from it, better graphics, higher frame rates, more songs. I know everyones worried about optimization, but with the 4 port to PC, there was no extra care taken. And Rockstar just seems to keep tacking on features to the game and adding more and more to it. Just wait till you get your hands on it, it'll be amazing.

Wait...you have to pay for PlayStation Network now? Like Xbox Live Gold?

Sadly yes, both sub models now. But plus side is PSN is a lot more fleshed out now.

Looks like I'm just going to buy it on PS4 - I have a $300 Dell gift card and as soon as I inspect my new TV when it arrives I'll just buy it again.

I'll get the PC version on the Christmas sale.

http://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-publisher-thinks-gaming-isnt-ready-for-vr-just-yet/

That makes me sad.

You won't be sad once you've played it. The only complaint I have with the PS4 version is analog aiming is shit. And thats just a complaint with the console gaming in general. I can't think of many complaints with the actual game itself. I just bought it in Dec and at the end of Dec I already Pre-ordered it for PC. The engine is gorgeous. I know everyone throws around iCEHANCER, but the game looks great. Not saying modders can't do better work on it eventually, just it's going to take a while. They did their homework, some of the views are just great I can only imagine how much better on PC.

I just meant the lack of (native) Oculus Rift support apparently makes me sad, not that I have to get the PS4 version. I was planning on doing that anyways. I enjoyed it thoroughly on the PS3. I did try to play online the other day though, and I didn't make it more than a few minutes before I had to turn it off. The graphics were just so muddy - that's what happens to me when I go from consoles to playing my PC exclusively for a few months.

Playing on the PS3 a lot of the game felt incomplete. Probably didn't help that I played on the PS4 first. A good example is when you finish online missions and it shows the winners. The background is just flat black, so weird looking to me, seems unfinished.

And this...is why they did what they did with the release schedule...I am not criticizing your decision. GTA is one the first video games I ever played. I wanted to do this(play it immediatly on ps3) sssssoooooooo badly. But I sold my ps3, and wasnt going to rebuy it for the oen game. And the ps4 and xbone are a sick joke of consoles. I am gonna bust my cherry on a pair of gtx 980's an XB280HK 4k gsync monitor...and I think I won't regret it...let's hope my wait was worth it.

I won't argue that! lol. I still had two PS3's when that game released and I had to play it. I did buy it used off craigslist though for $40. The game was so good though that I had to experience the better visuals and game improvements on the PS4 version. And since I'm a big PC gamer how can I pass it up for even more improvements and better visuals? I just cannot sir.

I am a consumer whore. Thank you.
