GTA V

One thing that i have always wanted in GTA games is to see other criminals doing stuff and getting police on them, I mean sure there was that random event where some guy gets chased by an officer, but you cant do anything because you just get the police on you as well.

Really hope that they have spruced it up, I wont mind of they don't, but would be nice.

Vice City sort of had it where you would get a reward for chasing them down

The game ran at 720p on the Xbox and 1152x640 on the PS3. Not sure where you got 420p from.

Oh I was told it was that, nevermind

Really wish Rockstar had more love for the PC. I've just really grown out of consoles over the last 5+ years.

Max Payne 3 on PC was great, so don't lose all hope.

I wish there was more games like GTA tbh, only ones I can think of recently are Saints Row 3(which was meh after finishing it) and Sleeping Dogs(same thing).

Yer MP3 ran superb on my system. Max settings I never once dropped passed 55fps.
Just hope they can do same with GTA5.

Max Payne was a much much smaller and controlled environment to render though, expecting the same level of performance from GTA is unreasonable.

True, True Surely it has to be better than GTA4.

Not logically.

Bigger world map, more detail, action etc. But then again, hopefully a massively more optimized engine.

I have read stories that why GTA4 is very bad is because the way it handles CPU cores. If this is true then GTA5 could use more cores better.

Not sure how true this is like.

I wouldn't worry to be honest, it needs to run on the old console hardware which at this point looks less than pathetic compared to a modern PC.

It will be interesting to see how GTA V runs on PS3/360s,I mean don't get me wrong GTA IV runs well on both consoles minus the occasional slowdown here and there but the View Distance is horrible.

Not trying to start a console war here,just sating whats true.
I just hope they don't console port the new GTA or its going to ruin it for PC gamers.

But it's in the optimization. They got that more than wrong with GTA IV.

The more of a problem than you realise, poor ports are often because it's on a console. It's not always about how powerful your system is, it has to run properly/be optimized/coded correctly.

Another thing is that they design in the method of "can a console do this? No, leave it out". It simply has limited capabilities.

Sure, you'll get higher resolution and maybe better textures, shadows/shaders/aa but this is simply a graphical improvement, when it comes to other aspects first and foremost it's design for a console and then if possible, slap on physics, make the ai smarter, introduce other mechanics/gameplay changes..nope, they rarely if ever do this.
If done right a decent PC has a lot of resources to play with, but often not used except "make it run on a PC as well".

As for peoples complaints about GTA-IV performance I've never had issues, even way back on my Q6700/8800 :| (iirc)

I agree.

Unless game is designed for PC first and then ported to console (dumbed down PC version)

So, possible trailer today. I'm eggzited. It will be out between now and thursday I'm guessing.

*Rich* · 5 Nov 2012 at 13:31

A actual release date would be good too.

I think i'll end up getting hold of a cheap 2nd hand xbox just for this game if no PC release is happening anytime soon....
