GTA V announced [2011] , [2021-11-11]

Wait, has it been shown already?

 

No not all of course.

Do wonder how far they'll go with it. Texture re-work? Volumetric clouds? Switch from ambient occlusion probes to RDR2's SH probes? Whatever, it's Rockstar, I'm sure it'll look quite good. If there's one thing I'd never accuse Rockstar of, it's not putting their money where their mouth is. They've no problem shelling out more than any other studio in existence for production value.

 

For creating the initial product, definitely. Once it's out though the only directive from Take Two is to milk the shit out of Online play and re-releases to feed executives and investors wallets.

 

8 years today, and still nothing about its sequel. Damn.

 

I expected it and what has been shown so far suggests it.

 

Did you see the comparison trailer for the PS5 Enhanced Edition vs the PC version? After 8 years they got the graphics quality on console a bit closer to the PC, and they added a lot of smoke to the explosions and broken glass effects.

 

Please for god's sake don't buy yet another version of GTA V. Or Skyrim.

 

GTA is one of the few series I buy on release day, always have.

Still haven't played the online mode, my son does though and thinks I'm wise for avoiding it. LOL

 

The point is you already have it. There are likely many here who have a last-gen and last-last-gen version. Or a console and PC version already.

 

Oops, I fit that category. My son had an Xbox and I didn't want to wait for the PC release. Awful way to play it, but I got to play it without spoilers that way.

 

If someone still plays GTA V a lot, many will want the best version for their hardware can play. If that hardware is a current gen console, 60fps on it's own will be a big leap.

You may as well say don't buy a new graphics card, you're just playing better version of games that your current GPU plays.

 

These graphical "enhancements" are an insult to consumers.
If spiderman, one of the best looking open world games on ps4, could be brought to ps5 with RT at 60fps, there is no reason GTAV couldn't. That alone would be a game changer graphically. It'd allow working rear-view mirrors on all cars, for example.
I was expecting at least some of RDR2 rendering features to be brought over. Such as MB and TAA, their excellent SS Specular Occlusion, volumetric clouds and fog... But it seems we got nothing.

Very lazy for a re-re-re-release of a game that made billions.

 

I've never played GTAV (I have played GTA3 vice city)
One question: When they release the game from ps3 -> ps4 -> (and in the future) ps5
Is it exactly the same game WRT story etc?
i.e. you're just upgrading the graphics
If so then why do ppl keep on buying it? Sure the demons soul remake or FF7 remake are the same story (not sure about this) but do look a lot visually different, but looking at GTAV it seems visually they look very similar

 

they released a lot of content in GTA online, that what most people have been playing these past years.
another thing is they would give you a lot of GTA money when you bought a new game, and so people would just buy another copy in a sale just to get the ingame money, would cost less than buying only that money on the online store.

 

Let's add to it that the GTAV ps4/xbone re-release was not lazy at all. It did see considerable polishing compared to the PS360 version, which is understandable considering that game was pushing those machines to their very limits.

The most obvious example one can point to was the addition of 1st person camera support, which necessitaded the adition of a lot of extra animations, tweaks to gameplay code and creation of proper cockpit models with working spedometers and what not for all driceable vehicles.

If that and the other graphical upgrades were enough to justify a repurchase of the game, it was a choice that was still up to each consumer to make, just as it still is this time. But one can a least say that they made an effort then. This time, not so much. Specially in the gen of free next-gen patches. Expactations are different.

 

Oh sure if ppl want to rebuy the game fair play to them, and yes first person sounds like a big addition.

I was just wondering if they changed the story as surely it would be getting a bit old.
i.e. I first gotta rescue this girl and then go and blow up this building and then hijack a jet cause thats what I had to do on the PS3 and also the PS4 thus I know what I have to do on the PS5

like when the brought out GT3 upgrades, GTA3 vice city, GTA3 san andreas whilst including graphical improvements to the engine they also changed the location and story. I dont think GTAV changes location but does it at least change the story? looking on the wiki article it seems as if theres one plot so I assume they dont

 

I wouldn't care if Rockstar did a straight port with no graphical upgrades or story changes and charged $100 for buyers who never owned the game. What I do care about is that they care nothing for current owners who have made them billions. Why attempt to milk current owners for just graphical upgrades that aren't all that compelling?

And yes the XB1/PS4 upgrade was a bigger upgrade, it also happened during a time where offering it as free upgrade was not as feasible given everything was mostly disc-based. Now we have DD and BC and they still want to charge current owners full retail for a simple graphics upgrade? Maintaining GTA Online revenue should be encouraging enough for a free upgrade and the level of revenue generated GTA Online would make the expense of a free upgrade inconsequential.

Take-Two in my opinion is driven too much in rewarding its shareholders versus rewarding its userbase.

 

well at least GTAV online PS5 will be free for PS+ subs.

 

"Free" for people who pay Sony money?

Ummm..
