GTA 5 gameplay

[cmdrdredd]

The Last Of Us has some very poor low res baked lighting going on, very low resolution textures, and often non-existent colour grading, particularly in levels where there is a sunset. The AI is also no better than many things from the previous generation.

In contrast GTA 5 looks impressive and what I'd expect from a game released nearing the end of a console's life cycle, which is a very selective process of enhancing what most players will pay attention to, such as characters, facial animations, particle and water effects, while minimising the use of complex textures, and only spending polygon count where it's absolutely needed.

No...GTA 5 looks like a cartoon. The game will be good but not going to break any barriers in graphics.

Have you seen the official gameplay video from rockstar? The graphics look pretty stunning given the fact that it is running on the decades old 360/PS3. They've gone all out. It certainly won't be next-gen quality but it looks very very nice.

Yes, it looks like a cartoon. Too colorful to be taken seriously for graphics. It's the style rockstar wanted though.

I'm not saying it won't look good or be crisp etc. It just isn't going to win awards based on animation, textures, or character models.

anyone expecting gta5 to be a graphics powerhouse must be new to the series. the series has always had mediocore graphics.

Which is really due to the size of the city and number of things going on at one time and to keep the world from taking itself too seriously. The game has an element of humor to it and having everything look ultra realistic would give it a different feel during shootouts and fights.

I could compare it to sleeping dogs in a way. That game had a more serious tone and the graphics were more realistic and gritty. It created a different atmosphere. GTA is much more over the top but not to the same degree of Saints Row.

Compared to any other open-world city game GTA4's graphics are an order of magnitude better. Saints Row The Third, Sleeping Dogs etc.. don't even compare. And then when you throw in the physics system Rockstar uses the gap widens even further. Nobody even comes close.

 

[purbeast0]

regardless of what the reasons are, which many people already know, the graphics in gta have never been a high point. that is all i was saying.

 

[blackened23]

Eh. Graphics shmaphics. I like great graphics, but it isn't an ultimate pre-requisite in any case. I do think GTA V looks very nice, but the gameplay is the most important element. (yes, i'll be that guy

Compared to Sleeping Dogs GTA looks like PS2. Have you even played the game? Good physics? Tell that to the shitty vehicle control in every GTA game. Sleeping dogs had infinitely better control over the cars than GTA4.

Again this is Rockstar's choice because of the type of game they want to create. You can't say it's necessarily bad from that standpoint, but when taken side by side it doesn't hold up well compared to other games.

GTA is orders of magnitude better. Sleeping Dogs is really cheap feeling. Hence the shit review scores.

You think Sleeping Dogs has better physics than GTA because you can steer the cars easier. That is hilarious.

Finally watched the video. Definitely going to pick this up. I wonder how the multi will stack up.

 

[KentState]

The videos look really impressive to me. I also like how the three protagonists have much different personalities, but really come together. Nothing like playing a balding white guy in whitey tighties who is mentally unstable.

the reason this game will always be better than all other games is because of the fact that there are many games into one game......its has racing,shooting,story,multiplayer,tennis,golf,customization,flying,biking,simulation and on and on........if you rather buy one game that has its whole focus on one thing and its still not as satifying as this game.....then my friend, you are a FOOL!

All those factors make a single product. The street races are not going to rival need for speed and forza lol. So you are calling someone a fool cause they don't use GTA as a replacement for every game? Your opinion on the game's fun factor has no bearing on whether or not another game has a higher quality on its singular focus. Be it shooting, fighting, an MMO, or a racing game. Of course when you have games that focus on a single thing the end product will be more refined compared to another title that adds it in as another activity. A game's fun factor is subjective and can vary depending on your expectations. I don't play GTA because you can drive cars, or because I can shoot stuff. Other games do that better. I play GTA because I find the city that Rockstar creates to be interesting enough and with enough story to keep me going on it for a good while.

Got Saints Row 3 free with PS Plus and it just doesn't come close to any GTA. I couldn't get into it. I really enjoyed Sleeping Dogs mainly because of the good voice acting/story. Wasn't a great open world but was fun enough to keep me interested and combat was real well done.

Except GTA does pretty much every one of those things poorly. If I was in the mood for a golf game or for flying, I would much rather take a game specializing in that specific thing over GTA trying to emulate it. The driving alone is enough to make any race genre fan cringe.

SR3 suffers from the problem I knew was going to happen. SR was decent and SR2 was amazing, but I could see the series becoming too goofy and lacking seriousness eventually. I will admit, I thought it would be much later than SR3, after how good SR2 was. The developers tried to go in a different direction than GTA and be lighthearted about making a GTA-style game. It just didn't work though. Running around beating people to death with a giant dildo might be entertaining to 12 year olds, but they aren't the ones who buy games.

Everyone watch the latest trailer?

I liked this one, probably been linked before but I love what I'm seeing here and glad to see they brought back so many of the fun things that San Andreas had. I like the new map too.

I'm starting to have heavy doubts about getting this game now. It seems there isn't a huge reason to buy it on launch day. Waiting for either the PS4 version or a price reduction around the holidays might be better.

 

[Bman123]

I'm getting this on release day. The one thing I will say is the pc version with mods will be outstanding looking.

There has been no mention of a pc or ps4 edition. Not until much later at least.

 

[cmdrdredd]

A lot of people are assuming based on past history, that GTA5 will come to PC in time. I'm not so sure about that with this one. GTA4 was a terrible port and they caught a lot of flak about how poorly it ran. Something tells me they'll not bother because it'll make them look bad if they screw up again. So they either have to do the game themselves and not outsource it, or just not release it and focus on their new project(s) for the PS4/XB1.

That's just my feeling on this one.

 

[Bman123]

They may as well not risk botching it and not release it on pc instead of possibly pissing off the pc crowd again with another shitty port

 

[futurefields]

they will be missing out a ton of sales if they dont release on PC. PC games are starting to sell a lot again. People are catching on.

I own a xbox 360 and have no plans to buy any more games on it. they are simply too blurry on my 1080p TV, and the framerate on GTA5 is bound to be in the 10's-20's again like GTA4 on consoles.

there are so many great games I can live without playing GTA5. I know that sounds crazy but its not 2004 anymore. Rockstar have plenty of competition in this genre now.

Hahaha

Did you ever play GTA IV on PC when it first game out? A high end systems had problems playing it with everything turned up. Rockstar is notorious for bad PC ports and I never had problems playing it on console, never looked blurry and never ran at 10-20fps because obviously it would have been unplayable for everyone. I bought it on consoles after I bought it on PC because of the high requirements it needed to run it on a PC when it came out.
