Support NeoGAF

[Tawpgun]

GAF help.

Im gonna play this shit from when I get home from work on tuesday to like 2 am.

But on Wednesday I should go to this club I'm a part of because I missed their first meeting, and my girlfriend will want to hang out that night but I want to play GTA

Lucky that online portion isn't coming out yet.

 

[Rebel Leader]

No news of my copy except that "Package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier" 12 hours ago =(

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Mine's out for delivery today.

Anxiously waiting for my Special Edition.

 

[Forsete]

I live in Finland, and my PSN preorder file info says that it unlocks at 01:00 am. Is that my local time or something else in PSN?

Lowlife Swede here, mine says the same. Not sure what timezone they mean.

 

[Goomba64]

so there was a mass shooting in Washington DC today?
great just what GTA needs before release

 

[BobTheFork]

Translation?

lol sorry, stupid terms from my friends - a few beers and some totally legal colorado weed.

Woah... WHAT?


*goes to off topic*

 

[FallingEdge]

You can install the "mandatory" disc 360 HD and install the "play" disc on a USB no problem.

 

[cdkee]

It won't ship until later tonight, most likely using UPS Next Day Air.

Ah OK, that makes me feel better. I was burnt by Amazon when they messed up with Halo 4.

 

[DukeBobby]

Oh shit, it turns out the 360 version has slightly better looking leaves on the palm trees.

Pre-order cancelled. Life ruined.

 

[The Albatross]

Yeah... It's sad, but I did think that myself, especially with the rumored "three shooters" in the DC shooting.

Let's do this:

wow....

What's going on with gaf'ers tonight?

 

[The Albatross]

When is Digital Foundry's article going live? In 10 minutes?

I think they said tomorrow, as in, Tuesday Sept 17

 

[Truespeed]

Let's do this:

Don't remove it from the plastic! You'll destroy its resale value!

 

[Alienous]

wow....

I was going to say something but ... I don't really know what to say.

GTA aside, it isn't what the world needs right now. Ever.

Its really stupid.

 

[dandoolan]

Just found this, for those who ordered via Amazon UK and tracking codes weren't working/stuck at distribution. Helped put my mind at ease! http://www.amazon.co.uk/tracking-se...d_fp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B0062KIC2A

Thanks for posting the update. Was getting worried.

 

[NIN90]

I dunno.. game looks kinda grimey. Jaggies everywhere. Also "nary a framerate flutter" my ass. It's all over the place.

Sounds like someone has cancelled a pre-order.

Ed- ah ok

 

[UrbanRats]

Any R* Warehouse (EU) customer who got his game shipped yet? I'm pretty pissed at R*, they assured me they would ship ahead of release, and still nothing.
Fuck them. last time i order anything there.

 

[keltickennedy]

Are you playing on a monitor or a tv?

 

[GrayGrey]

Did you install it on the 360 by any chance?

 

[naku]

Another Finn here! Seconded the question.

 

[NIN90]

TV. Might try it on my monitor because I suspect my TV makes games look kinda shitty. Like my settings are all wrong.

 

[Truespeed]

That's okay. The PS3 version has more light posts.

Did you explicitly state you were EU?

If you were US, you'd get it launch day before 5PM, but I can't wait that long so I never order online anywhere.

 

[MattyH]

My Collectors Edition is currently sat at the TNT depot in reading

Last of Us was unlocked at 01:00 am so I assume it's the same with GTA V.

No idea why it's 01:00 am though. Midnight would make more sense.

Ordered from Amazon, got mine today!

I tried changing my timezone to bst+2 actually (am in bst+1 with it saying 1am) and it said it would be unlocked at 2am, so it seems it's 1am local time no matter what.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Any R* Warehouse (EU) customer who got his game shipped yet? I'm pretty pissed at R*, they assured me they would ship ahead of release, and still nothing.

Still nothing. I'm working under the somewhat optimistic assumption that the 2nd email I recieved telling me "we took your money lolz" was in lieu of a shipping confirmation and that it'll arrive tomorrow. If that falls through, I won't be ordering off them again in a hurry.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Heck yes! My Amazon UK order just got dispatched. I'll have it on Wednesday. Not bad for a order from the Netherlands with free shipping.

If you're lucky, you'll get it earlier. Just check your code at tracktrace.nl
Amazon says wednesday also, but the PostNL site says mine will be here tomorrow

 

[Doran902]

so im in canada, and i pre ordered digitally, and i cant pre download or pre load and im assuming this will cause huge server crashes and psn fails tomorrow and slow downloads

so im guess i will be playing this game sometime later in the week

 

[RoadHazard]

My PS3 dusting/cleaning ritual is done (I always do that before playing a new big release), and I'll soon be heading off to the midnight launch. It's only about 8:35 yet, but I'm gonna take a few beers with a buddy before we head to the store. In about 4-5 hours I'll be playing the game!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Anyone tried that?

Awesome if its 1am, then I'll actually be able to try it out for like an hour before going to bed.

I pre-ordered digitally as well, luckily today is my Saturday so I can at least stay up a bit and scream as my download crawls to a halt come 12:05AM.

The Grand Theft Radio Show
Lazlow and Pete Donaldson talk about GTA V.

WTF, haha.

 

[Tekku]

I heard there is a lock-on system in the game, like in GTA IV. Is there some way to turn it off? I really enjoy free aim, like in RDR if you turned on the option.

 

[therealminime]

I'm in Canada and I got an email yesterday morning saying that it had shipped when in reality the shipping company had merely received the shipping information. It's nearly 3 in the afternoon and my copy is apparently still in Kentucky. I'd be shocked if it got here tomorrow. Probably going to go out and see if I can buy a copy of the special edition at retail and then when my warehouse copy arrives I'll just bring it into the store and return it.

I probably shouldn't have bothered ordering online.

Yes.

Yessir.

3 different options like most recent Rockstar games

That image of a customer performing fellatio on a Gamestop employee will never leave my head.

 

[nib95]

Early comparison, looks like this game will trade blows? Now I'm not sure which version to get...

Comparison gif

If this is not OK or not the thread for this let me know and I will remove it.

Looks like the PS3 version looks better in some parts, the 360 better in others.

Take this comparison. 360 has the blue lights on the wheel, but the PS3 version has better textures bottom left and on that weird bricking in the centre.

PS3 top, 360 bottom.

Charging up my dualshock 3 now
