It was this way on PC with a xbox 360 controller and on the PS3 too. Sleeping dogs did car physics very well for an open world game IMO.

I don't understand why we can't at least get BF3 vehicle physics. =( Maybe one day we'll get Forza / GT style engines in a open world game.

Imagine that! If they focused on making every part of the game as good as possible, rather than just throwing as much as possible on their engine! They could have the most generic story in the history of stories (you bad guy, take over city) and I'd still have a blast.

I will admit that some of the appeal of the open world games is simply exploring the map and doing random things. Even if it is just to pass time before grinding out a couple more story missions.

Early release? It's scheduled for Tuesday the 17th. I've picked up black ops 2 and other games on release day without pre orders.

Rockstar is not shipping discs till monday apparently. Any shipping screwups and no discs Tuesday
I know when i worked at the yellow tag store big releases like this would should up days before hand.

Ummm, you realize that all of those things they need to make "as good as possible" are a part of the engine right?

You might as well ask why Forza doesn't have good hand-to-hand or firearms combat. I'd say Rockstar does pretty damn well at being a jack of all trades.

I agree with you on this one. In fact, I get way more enjoyments out of the jack of all trades GTA games than I do out of most of the games that people praise.

Yes, but would it really be that hard to switch engines? There are games that use multiple engines, and switching to something like a racing specific one, wouldn't be too complicated.

I do agree the jack of all trades works pretty well in most GTA cases, but there is a lot of room for improvement. I'd like to see that boundary being pushed.

Maybe we should wait to get our hands on GTA V and see just how improved the driving and shooting are. I've heard good things about them both, but want to get it in my hands first.

That is true. If they have an engine that can handle it well (like BF3 and Frostbite, the driving isn't awful), it would suffice for a GTA type game. In the future though, I'd like for games that attempt multiple things, to do them more than mediocre. And the driving in GTA4 was awful.

although i was not a fan of gta4, with nothing really coming out till x1 that i'm interested in i may snag up gta5. i'd like to see some gameplay videos before i decide though because if the framerate is anything like gta4 there is no way in hell i'm getting it.

Not giving R* a pass on this, but I almost expect some dip in frame rate or something. I mean this is a huge game on very old tech, so I could see why it would happen.

If shipping screw ups do happen well then those who pre ordered in stores will be screwed as well. No big deal though I have some other games I would like to finish before the ps4 is out.

This is the one point I am stuck on. If the FPS tanks it will make some missions unplayable. I'd have to wait for a PC release at that point.

I hope it's good though.

I am sure it will eventually. Rockstar were a long way into development by the time developer boxes were "finalized" I'm sure.

Probably this, I don't think they'll port it or anything immediately. That might come later on before they release GTA6.

People forget that it's not as simple as just switching the system you develop for. The software is completely different.

Gonna see if they still take pre orders tomorrow at gamestop. If not I'll pick it up later. Only a month or so until I have to buy the 3 games for ps4.

gamestop does pre-orders for games even the day before a release.

My local store has about 600 pre-orders, split half and half just about between ps3 and 360

Doesn't surprise me. I don't know if I'll be getting it next week even though I have a pre-order on it. Going to see how it looks etc. I'll be in Orlando anyway for the latter half of next week for the beginning of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal.

Speaking of the keys, I was fishing down there a couple weeks ago. It's been raining every day lately but maybe it'll clear up by then. Florida weather is very strange sometimes.

A couple of my friends a picking it up, so I will probably grab it for some multiplayer. I am replaying 4 right now (since I was just out of basic and rushed through it when the last one came out).

Post a link if you find one, would like to check it out and see how this one plays.
