The more games ratchet up the graphics and in turn the realism, the less okay I am with kids playing it. There was a distance to the violence in GTA 3 because there were polygonal rectangles that sort of resembled people. Now, as I shoot at these high-res models with realistic entry/exit wounds that collapse against the environment around them in a realistic way, the more I think I wouldn't want my son playing this at eleven years old.
Anyone?

Sucks finally getting a chance to play but only having like 45 minutes before having to head out again, probably going to just wait until I've got a few hours free. I should've been smart and scheduled all my classes around this.
So I played for 30 mins lunch time .. Can't find any option to save my game. Just assumed it would progress save me. Finished the intro, attended a psychiatry session, walked up the board walk.. Where the game changed me to two new characters. I couldn't find any option to save the half hour progress so I assumed it had had a checkpoint save system. Quit to dash, then started game just to see.. And I have to start right for the beginning again. New to gta and hear it uses a safe house save system or whatever.. Am I to understand you need to play at least 45 mins or something to reach first safe house?
The cop system reminds me of the beginning of the movie Drive.
Any word on this? Due to a slip up, I've got a disc coming despite having pre-ordered the PSN version. If it's bad, I'll keep the disk.

3 random comments after another 4 hour play session:
1. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the water looks soooo good in this game! I was in Michael’s pool for like 10 minutes just soaking up the atmosphere. The fact that you can actually see water drip on the floor when he leaves is impressive.
2. Hooray for mission variety! It’s still early days but the last 3 missions I did probably had more variety to them than like 90% of the missions in GTA IV. And holy shit at what happened when you hacked that guys phone from your TV! Just wow!
3. Jumping and then pressing the dive button is absolutely hilarious and has made me LOOOL so many times when the physics kick in. If you want a good laugh do it in Michael’s pool, or just find a brick wall or person do to it on. Funny stuff.

There are trade offs. Overall, you will get a better frame rate on the PS3 during the actual game. 360 has better frame rates during cut scenes. Either way the difference is fairly minimal. Check out the digital foundry thread:

More realistic. Line of sight is important as hell

Let us salute our PS3s. They have done us proud.
Good question. It always says that I should choose an answer but there seems to be only one option.

Naughty Dog, dude.
I only played for a few hours last night. Already it's a massive improvement over IV. Aiming and driving driving are objectively better. Much smoother and more responsive. Stop being terribe. For a game on old ass consoles, it looks great. And yes, I play games on a high end PC. GTA V looks fine. People have ridiculous expectations or awful eyes
Dynamic music...while having two, three stars.
Or you answered my question and line of sight plays a role in the music which is playing?

I know that feel. I've just been doing arms trafficking missions with Trevor and a few off road races in between. This game man. It's so good.
This accurately reflects my sentiments. I was a bit surprised to read so much negativity when a bunch more GAFers got their hands on the game. I think people's opinions will come around over time though. It's a game that definitely grows on you the more time you spend with it. I am having so much fun. It feels like GTA 3 on the PS2 all over again.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?
I played a 3 set match, and it was awesome better than VT or Top Spin.

I guess we expected it to be similar to the gameplay trailer Rockstar put out, the one that Rockstar said was taken from the PS3 version. How silly of us.

man as a tech demo, this game is amazing, the world is stunning in its detail.
in terms of framerate and IQ...all I can think of as a drive around is how much I am looking forward to the PS4 version
also having played both versions, they are damn near identical. I dont notice the PS3 ground texture advantage so buy the controller/online version u want

You can Quick Save on your cell phone as well. But I'm not sure when that becomes available.
The pop-in was pretty bad during the first car chase mission, I couldn't see the roads ahead of me at some points lol. It seems to have rectified itself as I've played more but there is still noticeable pop-in akin to GTAIV. I would go with the disc version tbh.
Little of both tbh

No. Wasn't bad for what it is (well, the framerate was while playing at Michael's house) but come on.

game is too ambitious IMO
tried both ps3 and xbox 360 versions, both look identical to me (the DF ground texture issue is irrelevant to me since both have poor IQ and framerate)
an amazing achievement on current gen, the world detail is stunning. but if you need 30fps+ wait for the PC and next gen

That's incorrect, as is shown in the DF video they use for comparison, overall the 360 version has a better framerate but the dips are more pronounced on the 360 than on the PS3.
Well, let's be real here. I think most had our expectations set that the reveal trailers were not going to be what we were going to play. If a person thought they'd look like those, then they have ignored every open world game ever made.

Ok, maybe an exaggeration.
GAF, I just started my workday, how am I supposed to get through the next 8.5 hours?
