GTA V

Westie · 5 Apr 2015 at 05:23

that was what? 6-7 years ago? and it was a dog**** port.

i really think they aint gonna do the same mistake again.. and going by max payne 3 which ran flawlessly on PC's even low to mid spec im sure this game will run like a dream and is gonna look amazing!

Hopefully..

I am sure that was a tongue in cheek question anyway, with a more than probable harkening back to GTA IV's woeful PC performance at launch as someone already said.

When they say in recomended specifications for GTA V a GTX 660, I wonder at which settings and expected performance? Is there a given standard? Say if you meet rec specs you are guaranteed 30fps at high settings 1080 res?

I wonder if it will support SLI?

Max Payne 3 did not if I remember correctly?

Raumarik · 5 Apr 2015 at 08:50

SLI/Crossfire.. probably not but you never know. I moved away from dual cards because of the lack of support.

VincentHanna · 5 Apr 2015 at 09:09

Max Payne 3 supports crossfire just fine.

I'm not sure if this proves anything but NVInspector shows GTA V as using the same SLI compatibility bits as Black Flag, which has excellent SLI scaling. Fingers crossed!

Looks like we can transfer our characters, game progress and get bonus stuff as "returning players" if were gamed on last gen consoles too:

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT FOR RETURNING PLAYERS

For more info about gaining access to exclusive content for returning players, please visit www.rockstargames.com/V/bonuscontent.

TRANSFER YOUR EXISTING GTA ONLINE CHARACTER

Edit*
That's online character, not single player character. Bugger!

The second part is for Online characters of course, the first is for single player. You just have to have been logged into Social Club when you played and (I believe) beat the tutorial section, very early on in the game.

The items are pretty cool!

Because GTAV uses the RAGE engine, hopes are high that it will scale all the way up to 4 GPU's and SLI/Crossfire profiles won't be a problem as it should be very similar to Max Payne 3.

As usual, it may take 3 months post release to sort all configs out but the recent form is good from Rockstar on PC ports.

Looks like you can now get the pre-order bonus up until the 14th. I wonder if there is a way not to get it though, I'd really rather not have it for single player.

SkeeterUK · 5 Apr 2015 at 11:42

Yeah just get it on the 15th instead.

You could just... not use the money?

mark43 · 5 Apr 2015 at 12:25

Well yeah I guess, I just wondered how it would work, in some games you can pick up such bonuses near the start so maybe you could just ignore it.

But I'm sure nobody knows anyway, sorry, just ignore me.

CaptainRAVE · 5 Apr 2015 at 12:46

Well, I just picked this up on steam. Should have got it there in the first place. I guess there is no preorder bonus anymore?

yes you still get the bonus, but $150k less for online play (was $300k)

Oh, that isn't too bad then! Think I will set this to preload while I am on holiday - away for a week, so assuming all goes to plan it should be done by the time I get home.

neoglow · 5 Apr 2015 at 13:05

What's the opinion on the steam version, the inevitable community mods and Valves ridiculous account banning policy?

Would the retail version be safer for mods?

You raise a very interesting point here.... the game could be a little like battlefield in the fact people don't bother to do SP and jump straight to multiplayer.

Think I'll go for a night of single player and then MP the next day

Reminds me - must book a couple of days off!
