[Wind's Howling]

The past two previews on both Tuesday and Friday are absolutely riddled with mission spoilers and that is quite ridiculous for a company like Rockstar where they made an official statement that 'They do not want to spoil stuff', yet IGN releases two articles in a few days time where there's a myriad of missions being told. I once again skipped through the entire article when the word 'mission' started to pop up and that right there is a poorly written hands-on for a game that the entire gaming world is looking forward to. IGN, if you read this. You are loosing credit by the seconds and the way you establish your article writing is beyond disappointing.

I didn't want to know anything about the music.

Thanks junior.

Unfair.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Not exactly gameplay, but I imagine it's in-game footage just shot in a cinematic view.

I think the point of contention is that "gameplay" implies a longish duration of someone playing the game in real time, not quick cuts of "stuff happening."

Lol, that CNT channel looks funny. XD "He's a judgmental hypoooccriittteeee"

 

[SavagePlanet]

googled it.. seems like alot of songs from 1970s. dont think it will be electronica lol..

Well, there's also Worldwide FM, The Low Down 91.1, Radio Mirror Park and Space 103.2. Maybe one of those?

I'm just pissed there's no metal station. That's so wrong.

Uhh just saying whats been revealed on the website. They havent even revealed them all yet. There might be what im looking for on the stations that arent revealed yet.

agreed, it's very disappointing.

Yeah, I think metal should be included.

 

[lefantome]

We're definitely seeing current gen console screenshots at this point at least.

Very rough around the edges. That crane in the background to the left is jaggy beyond belief. I'm still getting this day 1 on 360 but I need it on a next gen console or PC asap as well.

where did you take it from?

I honestly thought that screenshot was a photo when it was quoted.

me too.

The lighting is so good, watching the trailers on the ipad makes them looks like next gen.

 

[El_Chino]

Any idea when Amazon will start shipping GTA V? lol

Yeah, i've been trying to avoid soundtrack info as well. I had a song spoiled for me in the OT. No warning or anything. Kinda sucks as it's a song that no one would've expected to be in the game.

 

[Goreomedy]

Hey dude, can you explain that please? you pretty much said there will be new gameplay today with IGN's update.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=79839469&postcount=280

Talking like you have insider info without having anything is bannable around here, i hope you know that.

This.

 

[KaiserBecks]

better question, Where the fuck is the custom soundtrack option?

It's a console version.

 

[Lonestar]

In the past, the presence of "fog" in video games was used to hide draw distance.

GTAV, though, it's got masterful fog use. Sense of scale is tremendous.

I mean, this is just fucking nuts.

 

[Ahasverus]

Someone brought up in the GTA forums that the shots of Liberty City seem to be upgraded in graphics, I can see better lighting and draw distance too. Could it be...?

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Well, there's also Worldwide FM, The Low Down 91.1, Radio Mirror Park and Space 103.2. Maybe one of those?

It's

Soulwax FM and Flylo FM

[terrible]

It looks fine to me mostly thanks to the art style they use.

I'm so glad jaggies are one of the few things I can't notice.

I notice jaggies and non native resolutions quite a bit. I wish I didn't.

This game doesn't look that hot from an IQ standpoint imo. Artistically it looks nice but the hardware can't keep up.

where did you take it from?

I got it from this page.

Any idea when Amazon will start shipping GTA V? lol

Next Monday/September 16th.

Blackout time.

If you have prime they ship on the night of the 16th.

The day before it releases I believe.

 

[Brogief]

It's a console version.

I know, but didn't they put like over 130 million dollars into the game or something? They should have used some of that paper for a custom soundtrack option, rather than more stupid building advertisements.

Same here.. I have an 8870 in my PC right now so I've gotten used to seeing them lol. I'd rather have jaggies and higher framerate than high AA and 15 fps. (On my computer, I mean.)

I know right, fucking hell, it seems so dense. I cannot wait to climb to the top of a mountain then look around, jump off and die.

Then take a plane as high as I can go then skydive off. Man, I cannot wait.

Before 12pm the day before release to guarantee day-one if you chose First Class (or the USA equivalent).

 

[Lonestar]

not afraid to say I'm taking the 16th, 17th and 18th off for vacation

Spoiler

needed to use some vacation days, I still have a week left to take before the end of the year!

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Well ... I'm not going to complain but he's right. Plenty of "lol consoles" games have custom soundtracks. Most sports games even have it so you can upload small clips to play at every specific circumstances. R* could do it if they wanted to.

 

[Dick Justice]

I know, but didn't they put like over 130 million dollars into the game or something? They should have used some of that paper for a custom soundtrack option, rather than more stupid building advertisements.

It's amazing how the GTA games on the OG Xbox had custom radio stations, yet they couldn't even manage that on either console version of IV. Red Dead had a custom soundtrack option on PS3, so I hope they at the very least have that.

Of course not, these consoles are old as hell and Rockstar's trying to do a lot with this game. If we get it and it looks really close to how it has in all of the media and it runs close to 30fps for most of the time it'll be a miracle.

It will. I have a hard time believing the screenshots are not downsampled.

 

[KaiserBecks]

So it's in-engine footage as we can see in every trailer, but not true gameplay. This is gameplay :

"True gameplay"? The difference here is the HUD. We've seen plenty of shots that would count as "gameplay" if the HUD wasn't disabled.

Suggestions for the OT:

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Not really sure what that has to do with anything. Rockstar has done custom soundtracks on console version of games before and so have many others.

GTA4 didn't have custom soundtracks so I doubt 5 will. They paid a lot for that music.

 

[hiroshawn]

Just pre ordered the PS3 gta bundle. Gonna sell the system and game when PS4 launches though.

I'd bet the farm that this character is the equivalent of Jon Voight in Heat.

and the camera angle, no? I don't remember seeing anything like that at least, it makes quite a difference when actually seeing how you will be playing it and not with cinematic camera angles.

Besides, R* has stressed out mutiple times that the amount of content this game (and San Andreas) have, is because they're working on well known HW, and how much of the GTAIV development time, was wasted on technical problems.
So i really can't complain, better this than another GTAIV on next gen consoles.
They can still pimp this out on PC/next gen in the future.

 

[Brogief]

It's amazing how the GTA games on the OG Xbox had custom radio stations, yet they couldn't even manage that on either console version of IV. Red Dead had a custom soundtrack option on PS3, so I hope they at the very least have that.

Honestly people will be buying it for PC anyway, so I don't see why console players have to miss out on the functionality. If it's a money issue than screw putting a giant GTAV poster on a side of a fancy hotel. It's not like anyone looks at that and and says "Oh god, those three guys look cool, this totally changes my mind about video games, and now I'm gonna buy a PS3 for this game." It's fairly stupid to waste resources on that type of stuff when you can fix up some little things with the game.

Guys I'm stupid, what's IQ?

Something people who criticize the 'jaggies' in screenshots and ignore the incredible art direction are lacking. Or, image quality.

 

[terrible]

It will. I have a hard time believing the screenshots are not downsampled.

I don't know, they look really similar to GTA IV if you make them fullscreen based on my memory. The latest batch of screenshots look like direct screenshots from in-game to me. In motion it'll look even better than those screenshots if anything imo.

We'll see soon enough!

1 hour to drive around the map?

Pretty shitty preview from The Sun but that's new, if they can be trusted. I wonder if they mean the coastline or end to end?

Guys I'm stupid, what's IQ?

Image Quality.
It includes various things, usually, from resolution, to aliasing, to resolution of the shadows and textures and such.

How clear and crisp the image is, in short.
