RIP to the Greatest Entertainer of All Time: MJ

You ain't the only one.

You two get it.


It's funny, as much as I played the shit out of this on the PS360, I'm still excited to dig into this. Hundreds of hours single-player messing with the physics and A.I. systems. Only a couple more hours.

Just played my first 30 minutes on PS4. Looks great but some things really bugging me already. FP view auto centres when you move which is just horrible... no option to switch off that I can see. Plus the cars are as twitchy to control as I remember and FP view makes this doubly annoying. If you oversteer slightly and counter steer to correct, the handling is so twitchy it means you end up just going in the opposite direction you wanted. They really must address this by at least adding in a steering sensitivity option (current setting would be max sensitivity!). I really want to enjoy driving around in this game but this already is souring my anticipation of that and I'm delicate with my analogue sticks, I can deftly control a power slide in Driveclub. This car handling is not pleasant (GTA4 cars handled like boats in third person but using hood can they felt really really good. GTAV just ruined the driving controls and so far they haven't had enough complaints from people like me to address it). If they fix this then I'm sorted! Still looks amazing and can't wait to explore.

Update on Soundtrack Descrepancies: There is at least one review out there that mentions one or two songs that aren't listed from the manual. Which is weird. What's wierder is that several people over on GTAForums also saw songs that aren't one this list.
Could someone here who has the game confirm these songs for me?
Micheal Jackson - Dangerous
Lil B - Rent Due
Bee Gees - Night Fever

Thanks in advance.

Someone please confirm this one, we need the one and only based god in this game.

Attention to detail in car interiors = nuts.

Brief flash of all the dahsboard lights when you start the ignition, rev and speedo looking so nice

Edit: yeaaah digital radio displays

Modders got twice the job now of putting cars into V PC though

 

[Muffdraul]

Is there any new talk radio? I know, I'm the only guy in the world who cares about that...

 

[NullPointer]

Nailed it. The first person controls are so weird at first it controls more like a condemned game. The frame rate can be a little choppy unfortunately but at least it doesn't shit the bed whenever you hit water. Game does pop a bit but the draw distances are pretty stunning.

Can't say that I'm not disappointed.

How do you re-release on next gen consoles and not lock down your framerate to the point where its no longer a noticeable issue? How do you add a first person perspective and then somehow not fine tune it for driving?

Rockstar has some very strange priorities. I'm sure I'll enjoy the game as the last gen version was already a 10/10, but man, my two biggest asks for this re-release look to be flubbed.

 

[Acorn]

Huh It can't find my online character

 

[jkh33]

I really hope so.

So want this to be real.

Not at all, it makes my day! lol

I'd care if we got Chatterbox 2.0...

This is Rockstar we're talking about. There's always something.

Unless it's some incredibly minor world detail that 3% of their audience will ever see. You can bet they got that right.

 

[Wil348]

Okay, so I've been playing for 45 minutes now, and it's amazing! However, my GTA Online character hasn't received the pre order cash for some reason...

 

[Fjordson]

You aren't alone!

Doesn't seem like there is =[ though apparently there is new DJ stuff on the other stations?

 

[Hip Hop]

Who's going to the midnight release?

My last one was the GTA V launch last year. I'm ready!

 

[darkwing-buck]

I've been meaning to ask, I'm defintely buying it through this deal, but have never traded a game in at Target. The one closest to me does allow trade-ins, so do I just go to the electronics area to do it?

Yeah starts tommorrow

 

[EmmaWatsonButt]

It's $500k in SP and $500k in MP

$500k in MP is alright for someone new coming into MP. Can still buy a high end apartment ($200k) + a Vacca ($240k), with a bit left over for clothes and guns.

$500k in each. I would've guessed that Emma Watson's butt could figure out how to work the Google machine.

 

[EroticSushi]

So how do you transfer your multiplayer character? Played on 360 but moving it up to PS4. I just linked my PSN account to my Rockstar account. Is that all I need to do?

 

[Vidpixel]

You do but the mobile guy has to be there too. If you don't want to waste your time going there and finding out he's not there, I'd call them and find out when an associate working Target Mobile is scheduled to be there. That's how I knew to come in today to trade my game so I could still buy before I go to work tomorrow .

Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

 

[Moozo]

I need a video of someone playing with DOM - Living in America on the radio

 

[guitarguy316]

Has there been any xbo vs. Ps4 comparisons yet?

 

[Art Vandilay]

Haha I'm sorry, Emma Watson's butt. I couldn't resist.

 

[StylesClash]

Funny how I find driving easier in first person now. Never thought that would be the case.

 

[Afrikan]

Any word if any Best Buys will sell it at 9pm PST?

I'm about to call mine, but if there are others that have, I'd like to use them as an example.

I heard some stores have recently started to sell Games at 9pm instead of midnight PST.

Yep I called my local Target and the mobile guy has to be there. He said he/she is usually there from 12pm-8pm. Those hours could vary though depending on your location so I would call first.

How'd you get rid of the HUD? Is that an option now?

 

[shandy706]

Trying to decide between X1 and PS4?

 

[Spazznid]

It's always been an option, even in the original.

 

[guitarguy316]

Trying to decide between X1 and PS4?

Yep...

 

[The Albatross]

Is there any new talk radio? I know, I'm the only guy in the world who cares about that...

Weird, I heard initially that there'd be new content for talk radio, but I guess not from impressions? A couple weeks ago someone said 2 hours of new talk radio. Was looking forward to it because GTAV has the worst talk radio of any GTA game since III.

 

[NickatNite]

4 more hours.

I'm going to get GTAV and LBP3 here in Indianapolis...in just a few hours...

[Byron Bluth]

What time does this unlock on PSN?

 

[Cc23830]

Online and working perfectly. Unlocked at midnight and loaded instant, no installs no patches

Ps4

 

[shandy706]

Is there really a 1 hour install after unlock? On both systems?

Sucks if true, was going to play from 12-1 and knock out.

Online and working perfectly. Unlocked at midnight and loaded instant, no installs no patches

Fingers crossed.

 

[Bunta]

edit: nvm

 

[Krappadizzle]

Yep...

I was in the same boat. Just pick the one you have friends on as I imagine the differences in single-player will be relatively small if any. I think performance overall is gonna be a pretty standard 30 with the forgivable framerate drops when action is too hectic. Just go with what your gut is telling you.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

What time does this unlock on PSN?

In the states 12am eastern

whew!

too much goodness dropping these days.

 

[OraleeWey]

Can't wait. I'll be going to the midnight launch too.

Ok one more gripe (I really don't want to be this guy) but the FP view controls have a big dead zone then a faster speed and a fastest speed with very little margin between them. Basically it doesn't control smoothly, kinda goes incredibly slow in the dead zone, then faster than you want just outside that. I just want a linear analogue control, like say, Destiny, where I have no problem with the controls, I look where I want to look and never think twice about it. I just want this experience to be perfect and so far I'm finding lots of small (but big considering they're persistent) issues.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Man, bit of a mean-spirited OT title, isn't it? I'd understand if WD was complete ass, but it was an enjoyable enough blockbuster in a summer where it was damn needed. Personally was hoping for GTAV NG IOTI Let's Go All the Way

 

[Krappadizzle]

What system are you getting this on Computa?

I am! I don't mean to be a creeper, but I think I remember you saying somewhere that you're also in AZ? If so enjoy this nice chilly weather lol

 

[flipswitch]

Trying to decide between X1 and PS4?

I don't understand this. I pre-loaded a couple of days ago and this morning the game unlocked soon as it was 12am and I was playing it. No unlock time. Unless you mean something else?

PS4 version.

how long did it take you to install the game from disc ??

It would've been mean spirited if Ubi hadn't poked at GTAV with that ad last year.
