***Official GTAV PC Thread*** [Important warning updated in the OP]

Moving Left should move the camera left, not the view... So if you have the camera behind the player and you push left, you should end up looking at their left arm, then their face, then their right arm, then their back again. Is that what you mean?

I think you have lost the plot.
 
Not sure what you mean. Its like any camera. If you want to look to your left side of view you use the r stick and press left on it and you view what is to your left. Like any game.

If you hold left down you will look at their right side of body (in 3rd person view) then front then left. Which is the proper way of course as your rotating the camera view. To do it the other way would be weird.
 
With a 3rd person camera, you are moving the camera, not your viewpoint. If you were stood behind someone with a camera and you wanted to photograph their right side, would you move left or right?

I assure you, I have written enough 3rd person camera control functions to know how they work. If you want to see how it's done properly, try playing Super Mario 3D on the N64, see how other experienced developers do it right. If it's good enough for Shigeru Miyamoto, it's good enough for me.
 
Super mario 64 not 3d, is a different view system compared to gta and most 3rd person games on pc. The SM game had a weird camera and gameplay style that isnt on pc games afaik.

Anyhow just watch some vids of pc users playing on utube and see if its ok for u or not, nowt else can really say on the matter.

He can't be helped. Same camera system used in all GTA V games. In fact same system in pretty much all games, games do tend to use view point cameras and that is how I like it. I want my guy to look left from behind I press left, pretty simple really.
 
ROFL... That's obviously why it was called Super Mario 3D then, with it not being in 3D :rolleyes:

Never mind, I should have known better to ask this type of question... sorry for the inconvenience. I'll hit that unsubscribe button right away...

*note to self: only ask about GPU specs, polygon count and pixel fill rates on PC forums... oh, and puddles*...

LMAO... not 3D *guffaw*
 
Just had ten mins play on gta 5, I have it for PS3 well it's the missus PS3 and she got me gta 5 for it when it launched I think I completed 30% of it, I aint a console gamer at all and got bored of Sittin in front of a tv to play a game. Oh and the graphics are turd.

But anyway, got it installed on pc, christ does it look good compaired to when I played it on a console but. With that said its not mind blowing in the slightest, apart from when you get a odd moment when ya see puddles and rain etc, I don't think it's as good graphics as it's made out to be, like I play elder scrolls online I think the graphics are actually a lot lot better lol.

But yeah in general the game seems a lot better on pc, I think I'll probibly put a few hours into it.

One thing I do like is shooting on it with mouse and keyboard like a proper shooter that aspect of it is fantastic :) battlefield 4 eat ya heart out haha

But for the size of the game and all the hype I wish the graphics was better, also I wish the physics was a lot better, I play a lot of racing simulators and I hate driving on arcade style games lol

I was correcting you on what the game was called you referenced. It was Super Mario 64 not Super Mario 3D on the N64.

But thats the last i try to help you. Ungrateful...
 
I'm running this on Very High textures, AA off, other settings on high, and getting generally 60fps @ 1440p (Adaptive Vsync on). However, I experience fps drops every now and then for 1-2 seconds before going back up. Is this me running out of VRAM (2GB SLI) or something else?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I think people get overly obsessed by the graphics. I'd take solid game-play EVERY time.

I'm really enjoying GTA, love the humour, love the world.

Shadows on normal use softer shadows option too. Hope it helps a touch. Btw did you turn off ingame sync when using nvidia panel adaptive sync?

Yeah game play is what keeps a game going for years, graphics gets outdated all the time, if a games fun enough people will mod it and tweak the graphics like gta 4 anyway.

Cant wait for the first mods to come out, i tried changing one of the sound files already in openiv but i couldnt seem to write over the current one. I dunno if theyve changed how to do it since gtaiv or if the files are write protected or summat.
 
Loving the game so far. My only complaint would be that cars seem really durable. The amount of high speed crashes I've had and manage to drive off with a small bump on it. Compare it to GTA 4, your car could get into some comical states, and at times you could still drive it away!

Random question, but anyone else notice the lack of cop cars while not wanted? I can only recall one occasion where I drove past a cop car under normal circumstances.
