I ordered my copy but the delivery was delayed. I wont be getting it until Tuesday. I fear that it will be staying sealed because of that :/
There is no open world game on consoles that's a solid 30fps, and none of them are on the same scale as this game either.
25-30fps for this game is pretty damn impressive.

It had better be smoother. IV often dropped to an awful 20fps on the PS3, and I believe the average wasn't even 25.
Dude, keep that out of here....fucking shit.
There are three main characters...and all video I've seen do have shadows.

Since the pre load is at midnight Pacific id expect the game to unlock at that same time zone.

Sure, if it's closer to 30 than 25 most of the time it's fine, and a clear improvement over IV.
accurate of the graphics? nah not really because trailers are always touched up and have some added effects...but I would call them indicative 
accurate of the overall experience of playing this game? hell yeah

Cool, the way the character controlled was also a major issue I had with IV, nice to know it feels tighter.
alright like I said before I got the game early
I've played for about 4 hours straight now and since it's the PS3 version some folks were curious as to the looks and performance so I'll give some short impressions...because I don't want to spoil anything and I wanna get back to the game asap
just to be sure, I'll put the following in spoiler tags
alright, so first thing is the graphics: huge upgrade from IV, lots of awesome little details throughout the world itself and during action sequences. Much sharper look to everything.
framerate I would guess is mostly somewhere between 25 and 30, with it being pretty smooth most of the time but not without hiccups. Nothing that got in my way of enjoying the game though. But it certainly isn't a solid 30 so you shouldn't expect that (I wasn't)
the lightning is incredible, and the atmosphere is just...wow. Rockstar has always been great at creating gaming worlds but San Andreas in V is something else. Each time of day has its own distinct look and feel and the world just begs to be lived and played in.
I've been a GTA player and fan since 1997, and from what I can tell by these first 4 hours of V is that it could very well be the best one yet. Great things are awaiting you my friends and fellow gamers.
I'm in love with V.
Excellent, thank you for the impressions! I was debating which version to get it for and this confirms I will get it for the PS3 (I prefer the DS3 for GTA games).
Ah, that's what I assumed too. So I guess the preload is really only good for people in the Pacific. Doing that 8gb install probably shouldnt take me too long after I snag a copy up on midnight.
They have blob shadows on cars and characters. there's almost no environmental shadows like on chairs or shrubs or anything.
This is judging by HD streams so take it with a grain of salt, but it looks way smoother than IV. Like not even close.

You need to lower your standards if that is what you thought is possible on the current gen consoles. I do not know whether you are trolling but this is not the PC High-res Screenshot Thread.
Seriously, and stop talking about streams in this thread...
No shit, about to bail completely. Go talk about it in the spoilers thread.
I haven't played on consoles in ages other than my PS3 pretty much for exactly that reason. Computer is old graphics wise and it still outperforms my console.
Anyways that's not my point. It is a valid complaint.
Also graphics chat is not spoiler chat you big babies.

Thanks for the spoiler free report mate. A true gentleman this^
Talking about streams, voice acting, and main character impressions is. Why can't you do it in the other thread?

No. It is not a valid complaint. Stuff like that has been known for years. Current gen consoles just arent that strong, we all know that. No point in posting this here.
GS just told me to that at 9 PM on Monday night, they're handing out numbers (to avoid lines inside/outside of the store) to whomever is in the store and picking up the game at midnight. They're not closing at all and will hand out numbers in order until midnight.They expect 80 - 100 of their pre-orders to be there.
If you've pre-ordered at GS, I would call your store and see if they have a similar plan in place.

...But...the OP has more spoilers about the game than anything I mentioned which was negligible. I don't get you. Literally I read the op and nothing I said was a spoiler.
Stop.
At the very least you could spoiler tag your shit. This thread is supposed to be a safe haven for people that don't want to read anything from people who have the game or have watched a stream before they play it for themselves.
Thinking of posting spoilers?
Go to this thread instead.
Bans for anyone posting leaked images, links, spoiler text, whatever between now and the 17th. ONLY OFFICIALLY RELEASED MEDIA ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD OR SO HELP ME GOD
OK carry on
Just don't understand why you can't at least spoiler tag certain shit

Just got spoiled on something cool on imgur. Just a warning. (Yes its basically reddit i should have known)
Be wary.
Be wary.
I know! Try going back to GTA IV! That'll get you depressed. I started another run through Max Payne 3 today. Like the only game that I can stand to play because the shooting is going to be very similar to GTAV.
Take it to the other thread, no one here wants to know this shit.

thank you
i hope it's as good as SA or even better
Exactly. I find myself playing Max Payne no longer to rep neogang, but in hopes the game will somehow turn into GTA V.
I'm loosing my mind slowly. And trying so hard to not look at spoilers. So hard, but I'm turning soft.

What are your favorite songs from the soundtrack?
Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore
Elton John - Saturday Nights Alright (For Fighting)
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
You need 36GB to install it. It'll end up being 18gb most likely after the launcher has been deleted.

Has anyone said anything about the performance on the 360?
I did, then people told me to shut up.
