That's what I'm waiting for.

Exactly why I'm keeping my happy ass home and will just roll in and out tomorrow morning when they open. Besides, these posts regarding the game's performance are killing my buzz.
I don't think any of them reviewed the PSN version. I hope someone compares the two (PSN vs. Disc).

Waiting for the PC version just got much easier after reading through these last few pages.
I'm pretty sure that Official PlayStation Magazine UK were the only ones to mention Skyrim's problems. They gave it a 7, I think.
They didn't seem to notice any problems in GTA V, though.
Is it the definitive version?
yes, it will be DF or me and you will take the forums and bring justice to this issue...........time to hook up the Elgato for tomorrow lol....and the splitter to ignore HDCP XD

So how many people have said the PSN version has specific pop-in issues? Has anyone compared the retail and digital versions? I mean, I've seen some pop in on streams of both retail versions of the game.

Well the main thing for me is I have both consoles, so I would like to get the version that is going to give me the superior experience. If the PC version was available right now then this wouldn't even be an issue. Frame rare dips and pop-in can make or break a game for me.
Thanks! I didn't know they already confirmed one was going up this week. Can't wait to see their results.
I'll be able to test out the PSN version on a 7200 drive when it unlocks in a couple of hours. It should definitely make a difference.

It is hardly disastrous. Perfectly playable from my brief experience.
People seem to be exaggerating somewhat.
This is such a mess haha.

I'm actually a bit worried about the PC version too. Rockstar made a bad port of GTA4. It will probably need a few patches, and a bit of brute force to get it to act right.
streetlights seem to be the most common issue, and only on the download version; the road is always there, the textures on it are what's popping in. As for buildings, that seems to almost never happen, and if it does, it's with far away buildings, nothing that would affect gameplay.
I have to admit I've never really noticed frame rate issues on consoles, maybe I'm just not that sensitive to it, or maybe its because I grew up playing pc games on woefully under powered pc's so i just have low standards when it comes to these sort of things.
Cant say I noticed it at all in GTA IV on PS3.
I don't get how people can pinpoint exactly how many frames a console is chugging out at any given time tbh.

I can only speak for what I'm seeing. I watched a few video reviews earlier today and frankly, it doesn't even seem like the same game.
What the fuck. I waited over an hour tonight to get the game and I turned it off after half an hour because I'm convinced there is something up with it. Going to hook my 360 up to my monitor in the morning, besides the performance stuff the game just....doesn't look like the video reviews, screenshots etc

Headed out to midnight launch! See you all in a sec.
Awww, was hoping it would be more similar to IV.
Just cause 2 didn't have particularly great driving. IDK, can't wait to get my copy!
Best driving = Burnout Paradise. They should just copy that.
And everyone knows no review site would dare rag on GTA V. Same shit happened with GTA IV, don't know why everyone is surprised they didn't call R* out on the issues.

Not really sure if it's the same team or anything like that but Rockstar's more recent PC port (Max Payne 3) was basically flawless. There's hope.

Just saw a GTAV commercial!
or the version they are using is not legit.....aka running a full disc off the HDD
which would be like running the 360 version with both discs installed.

You mean pirated? They are playing the PSN version.
Anyone know what time zone DF operates in?

I always see GAF complain about crap I never see. I'm not to worried.
Video of the Dundee midnight launch uploaded already. That was quick lol.

It's a standard line we're obviously divergent on.
20fps is "disastrous." 25fps is 'disastrous'. If you think using those terms to describe a game frequently at those levels is 'exaggerating', then you're probably fine with all that and think Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was totally flipping awesome with its frequent 20fps trips. That's cool.
But it's not really fine at all. Nor is frequently 20-25fps "perfectly playable", it's pretty "imperfectly playable" by definition. Nor is celebrating the fact that "well, GTAV sure gets to 30fps more than GTAIV did anyway! Huzzah!"
These are now things worthy of celebration, da fug! This shit is awful
One of my friends from the UK said it looks and plays much better than GTA IV ever did. So don't know what that will mean to a lot of folks.
I also think PC'ers not really used to under 60 FPS might notice the pop-in or framerate dips the most.

Seriously people would look at this and say "PC confirmed" or "rockstar bullshots"
Being part of eurogamer I'd guess it being GMT.

What do you mean?
Thats the great thing about not being so sensitive to frame rate and graphical flaws
I just picked this game up today but won't be playing it until Friday (I want to use the weekend)
Anyone know what time zone DF operates in?
I think they're in UK, so still 8 hours to go.
do you guys think Rockstar relentlessly enforces the embargoes, street dates, and hunts streams over the internet because they want to protect you from spoilers or something

Wow, a couple of days ago people were ecstatic about the game and now people are over reacting a bit about the frame rate and "horrendous" pop in.
The guy just started how do you know that?
Making assumptions? I have yet to see any legit psn stream have massive pop in and until i do im calling bullshit. It's not even that i want the info to be false it's that nothing has been said by anyone but what? 2-3 people on GAF? Telling me that everyone who has access to it right now just hasn't noticed? Shit would be all over reddit at the very least. Seems like the 2-3 people that did complain either aren't console gamers or just aren't used to seeing pop in like this.
I had a conversation with 2 other people who have it legally and they said they haven't ran into any problems so i am done worrying about it. Maybe those 2 people i talked to lied and maybe every single stream i have seen with the digital version is pirated but i judge what i see.
I'm 99% sure the 3 people here that complained either don't play consoles, haven't played enough open world games or IV on consoles to be used to this kind of pop in or have corrupted data because NOBODY else is complaining.
It would be all over social media/reddit if it was THAT bad. And yeah, gaf blows everything out of proportion i don't know why i got all worked up to begin with because a big majority of people here think 20-30fps is unplayable and i have absolutely no problems enjoying games at those frames

Or they could have released the PC version day 1 and stopped effing around.

I'm not sure of that at all, I said that earlier! I hope not, I can only say what I see. My issues are real, the reasons I don't know. My flatmate has the PS3 version so I;m going to look at his in the morning and see if it's noticeably different
