MULTI Grand Theft Auto V |OT| After 5 Years On The East Coast.....

[BumperJumper]

BTW is there a screenshot feature within the game? Using the cellphone etc?

Chandoo mentiond that you can snap your own selfie, lol. I will try doing it and post a shot here of the selfie.

BTW guys, be warned, this game is perhaps the most explicit Rockstar game yet. I am going to warn you to stop any of your relative kids from playing this game.

I am putting the things in spoilers. Just see it and you will be surprised. Rockstar have come a long way from Hot Coffee mod in GTA: SA

Spoiler: show

• Fully nude lap dance. You can even touch and have fun with the stripper
• Anal sex is clearly shown. There is a sex tape of sort and you can see a guy doing it with a girl from behind
• Dogs can start humping other dogs even the male ones. You can even see from the dog's point of view as he humps

See all this, i won't be surprised if there is sex scene included as well.

Dude you tried out the PS3 version yet? How does the game perform on the PS3?

@DarkLordMalik

At least on the PlayStation 3 version I tried, though the price for all this beauty is paid in framerate dips, messy anti-aliasing, ridiculous texture pop-in, and a reduction from the box's advertised "720p" resolution. A new version of the game on next-gen consoles or the PC would no doubt fix these issues and really set mouths drooling. As it is, Rockstar should be commended for duct-taping this mix of details and sacrifices while keeping the framerate tolerable and the glitch count to a minimum.

Ars are pretty technically proficient people, the drop in rez comment makes it sound like the game might employ some kind of dynamic rez system ( ? )
DF article is scheduled for 11AM UK time, so that means around 4 or 5 PM PST.

^^ That PC/nextgen line is so true. You look at this game and the first thing that comes to mind is, this game does not deserve these graphics anomalies.

I am certain there is a high end build of this game hidden somewhere in R* studios just waiting to be unleashed. Hate to play this on sub par experience but still underlying elements are so strong that you cant stop playing it.

Best open world game of the forever. And pretty much biggest technical feat of this generation.

Guys - anyone got the collector's edition DLC?


I just downloaded mine! Time to stop effin about the city and start playing the real game!

Spoiler: show

GTA V Collector's Edition

-Two unique weapons will be stocked in Ammu-Nation stores, each with their own unique customisation options, skins and attachments. These are the .50 Caliber Pistol and the Bullpup Shotgun.
-Additionally you'll be able to access the Hammer, a brutal melee weapon.
-20% discount on all stores throughout Los Santos and Blaine County when playing as any of the three main characters.
-Unique special items of clothing for each of the three characters. Each character will have one unique outfit, one item of clothing (shirt, hoodie or jacket), a special haircut, facial hair and tattoo.
-Each character will have access to a unique special ability that can be used in combat, and with the special edition of GTA 5 you'll gain a 25% reduction on the cooldown for this ability.
-Five unique stunt plane trials.
-GTA 5's online component - GTA Online - will utilise a 'parent' system of character creation, where you'll be able to tap into a gene pool and set hereditary attributes. With access to the Collector's Edition of GTA 5 you'll unlock GTA 4's Niko Bellic and GTA 3's Claude and Misty as parent options for this system.
-There will also be a unique garage property which will come pre-stocked with the CarbonRS sports bike and a 1930s style hotrod named Hotknife.
-Additionally you'll have access to a high-end electric car Khamelion, which is specific to GTA Online.

The last three features are exclusive to the collector's edition. So the collector's edition = special edition + bonus

Dude I've seen dog humping on streets commonly here in PK

I think nudie bars are the main explicit content in this game. Then again GTA has always been R Rated! It's not meant for kids and faint hearted peeps!

Definitely agree!

I am going to buy the original on the PC. Ironic how R* thinks that PC gamers pirate... I pirated the console version only cuz I know console games could to 10 fold better on the PC when it comes to graphics and performance... I just hope they don't eff it up like GTA4 or totally blow it out like RDR and never port it! :S



EDIT:

Wow didn't mean to have 3 posts in a row... I feel like a spammer lol!

 

[baqai]

Piracy is across the board may it be PS3 or XBOX or PC, its all about where they can get the most return for money, they know that PC people will wait for PC to get the better version (debatable) so if PC version was available from the start it would have hampered their console version sales, now on the other hand when PC version comes out a person who already have a console copy might want to get the PC version for better graphics?

 

[wAnxTa]

In the leaked cheat codes, there is a cheat code for 'slidey cars'. Could it.. could it be??!?!?!? Could it be the turn on button for GTA IV-esque handling?

@Mephisto where'd u get the CE dlc from ?


Rockstar Recommends You Don't Install Both GTA V X360 Discs, Find Out Why

Grand Theft Auto V on the Xbox 360 will come on two discs, one for installation and the other to play/load the game. While the X360 has enjoyed optional disc installs for any game since its dashboard update in 2008, Rockstar is recommending Xbox 360 players that they do not install the "play" disc.

Advice provided in a tweet reply by @[URL="http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/member.php?u=10646"]RockStarSupport[/URL] states, "For optimal performance, we recommend not installing that disc. We will have more info on our Support Site at launch."

This seems to suggest that the game is designed to be loaded from a disc rather than the HDD, much like GTA IV on X360. Though for the past title, X360 disc installs wasn't a thing until months after its release. Disc installs generally give shorter load times among other benefits, but it appears that GTA V may actually give the opposite effect if the play disc is installed on the hard drive.

Digital Foundry did a little digging with their own copy of the game and offers their own technical explanation, along with video, to show you why installing the play disc is a bad idea.

So what's the story here? Well, optimal streaming is achieved by making us of all the available bandwidth in the system. Why stream just from the hard drive when you can run in data simultaneously from both the disc and the HDD? Based on what we're seeing on the Xbox 360 version, perhaps running both DVD and HDD assets from just the one source slows down access times, impacting streaming performance. It's not game-breaking stuff, but it does take you out of the moment when it does manifest and for that reason we can't recommend installing the play disc.



In July, Rockstar confirmed that GTA V will require installation for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. On Xbox 360, players will have a one-time mandatory install with the install disc, requiring at least 8 GB of free space. The PS3 version will also need 8 GB but unlike the X360, it will come on one Blu-ray disc as well as a digital version on PSN. There's no word whether the digital version will have any adverse performance.

got it from Xbox360iso

... and that idea about running the game from disc makes sense. I've been playing the game from disc too and havent notice much fps drops... game runs pretty smooth when ur out of city. I have converted my iso to god so lets see if the experience be any different.

 

[Mephisto]

I'm Blimpin' yo!

Edit:

Took this baby to the mil. base - needless to say got my ass handed to me quiet nicely lol!

 

[Heaton]

guys beware after jewellery heist mission coz afterwards in next mission cutscene there is

Spoiler: show

trevor f***** ashley from gta iv lost and the damned.

 

[iameXtreme]

Any of you guys tried the ifruit app on ur apple device? Gta v is so fucking awesome!!!

 

[BumperJumper]

Played the initial few missions of the PS3 version. Gotta hand it to Rockstar, they nailed it this time on both platforms. The game is identical across the board, there is nothing significant to set them apart.

* Resolutions appears to be native 720p on both platforms. At least to my eyes, hopefully it is not dynamic and if it is, they have done a pretty good job to hide it.
* Shadow also render similarly on both platforms. There is no advantage here. PS3 might be missing a shadow here or two but at the core, they render similarly.
* Aliasing is the same on both platforms
* Performance wise, maybe it was just me, but the beginning mission had better performance on 360 but after the game began, the performance was solid on PS3, slightly better than 360 to me. But there is no significant gain here. Both platforms hold up the frame rate pretty damn well.
* There is one major advantage the PS3 has on 360 and that is the reduced pop-in. 360 has plenty of Pop-in, dunno if it is related to the disc install or what but its not like i am playing from Blu-ray on PS3. I am playing both games from external hard disk but the pop-ins were far worse on the 360 version. The beginning cutscene had almost zero pop-in on PS3; it really surprised me.
* Draw distance is almost identical as well, if i'd squint my eyes hard enough, i'd call it slightly better on 360 but that's ridiculous, lol. So i will just call it similar for the most part.

Now this is all to preference but i really loved the shooting on 360 controller but hated the driving bits. On the other hand, shooting felt dull on PS3 controller but driving felt great. PS3 controller is so good for driving but sucks for shooting here.

tl;dr: The difference between each of the version is peanuts. Both versions are definite version of the game. Get whatever version you have access to and enjoy this masterpiece (sm1)

 

[Mephisto]

ok so I tried the complete hdd version (disc 1 installed and disc 2 copied)

Maybe its me but...

the textures take longer to load
there is more frequent frame rate drop

The difference isnt significant but I'm going back to the way it was meant to be played. (install disc 1 and stream disc 2)

Edit:

On the flip side - the game does take longer to load when using disc.

 

[BumperJumper]

Time for some GIFs love

Another important thing, all locations will be populated so yes, there will be travelers with their back pack on the mountains

Jaws in the open sea

Lastly, something for love :wub:

Analyst: GTA 5 Will Make $1 Billion, Sell 20 Million Units by March

Grand Theft Auto V will make $1 billion in its first month at retail, if an analyst's suspicions become reality.

"Given the significantly higher installed base of relevant console platforms at launch, greater sales concentration among the top video game franchises, and unprecedented pentup demand," said Colin Sebastian of Robert W. Baird said, "we expect GTA 5 to outpace GTA 4 sales, and generate roughly $1 billion in retail sales during the first month."

Analysts Arvind Bhatia and Brett Strauser of Sterne Agee estimate GTA V could sell as many as 20 million copies by its fiscal year end in March 2014. "We see potential for worldwide day-one sell-through of 6.5 million units [and] $400 million for GTA V," they said. Grand Theft Auto IV, for reference, shipped nearly 25 million since its release in 2008.
