It was a mess, but the later patches fixed that, the performance increase was through the roof. For the record, my PC still can't run it at 60+ FPS without dips to the mid 30's, but I guess that's because of Direct X and the engine itself.
Those who have played the PS4/XBONE versions - how do the cars feel? I was disappointed with them in the last-gen versions, too arcade like, simplified damage & handling
Sorry but i don't believe it was a mess although it was released to soon, and no more of a mess than the crappy Crysis game with it's crappy story but people praise that
Not saying it was perfect sure it had it's issue's but once you got over the i cannot max the game out and actually settle for what you can get out of the game would would see they were doing some thing new and not some typical over blown graphics.
Sure there was performance issue's and how i see it they did some thing different than just pretty graphics and i loved playing the game my self and was more annoyed in single player by the phone ringing all the time than being able to max the game out, well until i started to play it online then it was a issue for a long ass time you could not kick hackers off until some awesome person made a hack that allowed you to and came with a bonus that you could place ramps too haha.
Oh there was one other thing that pissed me off and it was GFWL
.
Well from the video's for the console the game looks like it has had a massive physics \ damage nerf which to me is some thing i really loved about the last one and was not all about graphics, so seems like it's more like your typical game now.
I do hope i am wrong as i would not mind the same game with all the improvements they have done to the engine over the years
GTA V will use the same RAGE game engine as GTA IV, I can run GTA IV smoothly, so that means that I can run GTA V the same way?

Only way to tell is when the game is released, but if they removed a lot of the physics to the game it would run a hell load better.
GTA IV indeed was a mess. Not so much in Gameplay Bugs - but with its "Social Club" feature, graphic bugs, poorly optimized, unstable.
Seriously i don't know why everyone hates Assassins Creed Unity so much. Played in 2 Weeks after release and have not had any but ONE problem with it. It crashed one time.
There are far worse launch releases. At least it was playable unlike Sim City or Diablo 3...or Battlefield 4! Or Far cry 4 that still is unplayable with that Mouse acceleration bug.
They fixed the mouse issue some time ago and before that there was a fix for it anyways. As for ACU i dunno never played it as the last one i played ( ACR ) bored me no end.
