so are you saying, i cant play my own music and control it while in game like i can on ps4 "yet" ?

It'll run snapped is what I mean.
At least as far as I know.

I want to ask, how would that even work unless that person who is letting the person borrow the account has no plans on moving to current gen themselves?

You only get to transfer a character once and you can only transfer one account (so if you have an xbox 360 account and a PS3 account you have to pick which one you want to transfer). Probably because R* didn't want people doing that.

So.. I'd say if you are going to lend your social club account out to some one, make sure you don't ever want to transfer any of your GTA V accounts over to current gen.

No, You misunderstand. You'd go log in to your account on their 360 or PS3 and complete the prologue. Then you'd plug in your XBL/PSN account information into the SC website with either your existing account there or a new one and you should at that point be eligible for the rewards.

So why was the preload with the latest patch only 1.7ish gb? What am I missing here? I click on the GTA icon on the dash and it just shows the countdown. PS4 by the way.

 

[SolidChamp]

Holy hell so many of you are buying the digital edition. After the issues with the last-gen's digital, why take the chance?

Hit the options button over the icon and check the information, it's downloading the rest in the background.

Aww Fuck It.

I'm going out in 2 hours to get my copy.

Who's braving the cold tonight also ?

Damn I think I'm in the northeast part of Florida that's getting hit supposed to be 28 degrees tomorrow

I'm going out tonight, but I'll be damned if I wait outside in line. I'm waiting in my warm truck, and wait for the line to die down.

 

[jambo]

That looks ugly as hell. why the fuck would they do that lol

So the 1 pressing can be played in Australia, Germany and the rest of Europe.

 

[Dug]

Im enjoying my warm bed, preloads done. Now i just got to resist the heavy eyes!

Ditto. First time I've done pre-loading on PS4. Kinda fun sitting there and watching the countdown timer.

What were the issues? I had a disc copy so I never really looked into it.

On both consoles, It all installs to the HDD regardless of a physical or digital purchase, Does it not?

 

[Corgi]

Whats 'NG' in the title?

don't recall this edition having a subtitle.

next gen?

new game?

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

this coupled with the ds4 specific stuff is making it seem like the ps4 version is superior

 

[Derpyduck]

Every single version this gen is installed to the HD. Which version you buy means nothing at all.

 

[Big Blue]

Highs of 33 for the next two days in NY. Fucking hell

 

[Krappadizzle]

Good news, and any difference between xbone and ps4 as I have the option?

You could flip a coin at this point and get you're answer.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Holy hell so many of you are buying the digital edition. After the issues with the last-gen's digital, why take the chance?

Because every PS4/XB1 game runs off the HDD regardless of whether you go physical or digital.


Edit: Beaten. >(

Why would you reference last gen when we've had a whole year of this gen to base experiences off of?

Next Gen or New Gen, whichever you prefer.

Can you only transfer one gtaonline character? I have two, my main and alt

None of the mirrors work. I've been watching live streams all day.

I saw in a clip, I think it was video gamer, he was in a convertible, and not only did the wing mirror show the rear view, it also had neat distortion applied.
I'm not saying it showed traffic, or detail. But it showed moving buildings sky, bridges etc.

Next Gen.
Would've put down PS4/XB1 but again, I ran our characters for the title.

what issues? i was day one digital last time too and don't recall any problems

I think I saw a guy transferring two characters at once...

 

[SolidChamp]

Fair enough.

And my bad, I thought some games loaded from a combination of the disc and the HDD. Diablo is always spinning when I'm playing on PS4.

But the digital edition last gen was said to have more pop in and issues with LOD.

Highs of 33 for the next two days in NY. Fucking hell

In MA. Western MA to be specific, and man were we lucky all this heavy ass rain wasnt snow today. Going to be a ton of black ice tonight and tomorrow morning. My friend just txt me he is cancelling his physical and just ordered it digitally because of it. I found it funny, but oh well be safe

[Pachimari]

Hmmm... I'm really thinking of cancelling my order when I wake up tomorrow.

Because I would like it for PC as well, to get the best performance, but I could imagine the online aspect being more active on the PlayStation 4.

How's the online section on the current-gen systems?

 

[Dug]

High of 23 and low of 3 for tomorrow. Fun.

 

[Yaranaika]

How do I trigger the update on the digital Xbox one version?

As far as popularity, I've never had issues getting players in a room.

 

[GravyButt]

Never played gta online on the 360. Whats it like? I literally know 0 about it, what modes ect. All I know is all of my friends say it's extremely fricken fun. Anyone care to elaborate for me?

 

[Wynnebeck]

Didn't play the last gen version at all. Am I in for a treat?

@12:13 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6jc1cTl5Ao

Yea. What I meant to say they don't work realistically. Hardly what I call usable.

 

[Pachimari]

But is it possible to play games like cops versus robbers, where I have to catch the other players with a police car?

Or is it all just free-roaming stunts and races?

 

[Data West]

My favorite game of the generation, but I'm incredibly biased. At the very least, if you like exploring, it's the best in class.

I'll just say prepare to be shot at random. Alot.

 

[Oppo]

oh yeah. big time.

 

[jellies_two]

Yea. What I meant to say they don't work realistically. Hardly what I call usable.

they are realistic but not practical, for example, they have sun glare. That's attention to detail:

Perfect mirrors are problematic. You're asking the engine to calculate an accurate world view all over again, from a different camera position. Everything in the scene except the actual pixel rendering has to be re-computed.

 

[BeforeU]

Holy hell so many of you are buying the digital edition. After the issues with the last-gen's digital, why take the chance?

lol doesnt matter which version you buy this gen. They will all operate the dame way. Even with your physical disk, it will still read from the HDD, disk will be there just for check in.

lol beaten. Sorry on phone, didnt see all the replies. Seems like I am beating the dead horse now.

 

[Darryl M R]

not really, not that i've seen... IQ looks basically the same and only difference really seems to be related to contrast (and I think you could tweak that via your TV). I'm sure Digital Foundry will find differences but it seems close enough that I would choose based on what controller you want to use or which account/acheivements you care about more.

honestly, the driving in GTA V is so arcade-y and the 'racing' so inconsequential that you should just go with whichever one you like the most

the differences are so minor that the only people that notice are folks that play GTAO every single day and actually set-up controlled and non-gameplay-realistic tests to see the small differences. for most people playing the game you'll almost never notice any difference.

you will notice a Zentorno and Turismo R having faster acceleration but over the course of an actual race and especially with the common 'catch up' features turned on, it'll be very little about the cars and more about the drivers. and people really don't take racing that seriously in GTAO.

go with whichever one you get excited about haha don't worry about the small differences and if that becomes important in a couple months, buy another car hehe

Thanks for the advice and tips man. I think I'll go for the Adder just because I like the unique look and it will attract attention and I'm always down for some good PVP for GTA:O.

Im enjoying my warm bed, preloads done. Now i just got to resist the heavy eyes!

You have time. Take an hour or so nap. It does wonders.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

so...

xbone version benefits - can play with friends sometimes when our schedules actually sync up

ps4 version benefits - ds4 specific features and able to play my own music whenever I want...


im starting to lean towards dat ps4 version doe....

 

[kyser73]

How can I preload the entire game? I just bought the digital version on ps4 and only downloaded a 1gb file and something that was like 600-700 mb.

When you're over the game tile, click 'Options' and go to 'Information' and it'll show you the d/l progress of the whole file.

The midnight release I'm going to is at a Gamestop in a mall. No cold for me!!!

 

[Lightning Count]

OK, I am done for tonight, need some sleep sadly real life will be getting in the way tomorrow (technically today).

 

[Piggus]

Holy hell so many of you are buying the digital edition. After the issues with the last-gen's digital, why take the chance?

The game streams all of the data from the HDD regardless of which version you have, unlike the previous gen version.

 

[todahawk]

Oh I agree, when it comes to sound RDR is easily their best, but there are several other aspects of MP3, mostly in control and animation, that they failed to use as well. It was likely a memory constraint last gen, so I really hope their next game picks up where they left off before GTAV and continues to improve.

I can't even imagine how good next-gen RDR will look. Even on the PS3 version I used to just go sit and watch the scenery.

 

[kingwingin]

Had a near heart attack when gta forced another update and gave me and eta of 5 hours. Tho after 20 min the download started zooming by. Just over an hour to go!

Wow, glad I live in South Florida. We had 85 degrees here today and it shouldnt get colder than mid 70s in the next days
