Wait, so does that mean my 20gb ps3 is OK then for installing GTA V ? I would be getting retail version not digital download.

Why are you asking about the PS3 version in the PC forum?

because the pc/console discussions somehow overlapped.

Wow, just looking at the reviews rolling in for this and am half tempted. I've not been keeping up but is there any solid rumour on when we could expect a PC release?

No dates.

Apparently a German site hinted at July 2014, then at October 2014, but I don't recall there being much evidence. I'd say 'a while'.

Ah thanks, I was hoping more like a few months.

From the Ifruit app

All it is, is the I fruit logo. 3 seperate images almost exactly the same. Only difference is the color of the icon. Each is named "home icon PC", "home icon ps3", and home icon "Xbox".

When you sign in to social club it asked you which platform. In settings you can pick platform switcher but PC is hidden for now.

Sry if repost. They say no spoilers and i dont think they do say any so its a good watch without spoiling anything.

You finally got over your initial poor thoughts of the game lol? Or did you just wake up in a bad mood?

agnes · 16 Sep 2013 at 18:45

I was in a foul mood today. I still think they pushed the hardware too much.

Agnes, just wondering if you installed both discs to your xbox hdd or just the first install disc?
See this

Just had this come up as news from appy gamer on my Nexus 7 2. I had that disk installed. Just deleted and running the game back up now...

Let us know how it goes

agnes · 16 Sep 2013 at 19:57

Well well... Fps when moving at speed feels smoother and pop in has all but pretty much gone! Actually feels a bit nicer...

agnes · 16 Sep 2013 at 19:59

Actually a huge difference! Feels much smoother when driving around!

^JP^ · 16 Sep 2013 at 20:06

Cool, so the earlier review has changed a little then

The 2nd disc contains HD textures though no?

agnes · 16 Sep 2013 at 20:14

I don't know, the disk is obviously going crazy now... But meh, game is smoother. I can't help but think this on a SSD will be 10 times better. I still stand by the car physics. But now the game is a little smoother, I'm happier. I forgive the shoddy graphics as it's running on very old hard ware. And hey, I'm still playing it...

There is a storm! The rain looks epic! Puddles are forming, lightning, thunder. I might slowly be falling in love with this game haha. Bugger. I'm normally so stubborn based on first impressions!

Does anyone have it on PS3 early here? Interesting to know what it's like. I guess it's mere tens of hours away for me really.

^JP^ · 16 Sep 2013 at 20:21

Apparently its something to do with the hdd access time so I guess an SSD would work OK.

You can also install the 2nd disc to a USB Flash drive (I guess a good one) and it should play OK like that.

Anyone who can test it?
