New GTA 5 PC Screenshots 3/27/2015

It's the forest area in paleto. It looks different because the way they captured it. No part in the game plays out like that. Like I said, these are made to look good.
No part of the story, you mean? Doesn't look like anything that couldn't happen in free roam. That looks like near the wooden bridge below the tracks, and technically the cops do follow the roads there. If you turn the camera, your head turns like that. So, while it's staged rather perfectly, technically if you were in a 4 Star chase, the cops would be following those paths there, and if Trevor stopped there and panned the camera, would also look at them there.

The biggest illusion is not the gameplay but just the forest... if you panned the camera up just a little bit, you'd see how short and small the forest skyline actually is... and sitting there, you're rather close to the highway. So it gives the illusion you're in a deep forest when you're just sort of in some trees near a highway. So the forest framing is kinda misleading... But the gameplay looks normal.

SLIGHTLY more activity in the PC version, I'd say lol
Just time of day... PS4 version can have more pedestrians there than either of those shots. Or just as empty... depends on time of day.
 
Hoping my GTX 860M laptop card can run this smoothly on low/medium settings. It does pretty well with most other modern-ish games. I'd like to get OPs screenshot visuals but that ain't happening. Oh well.

as are most marketing shots for most games (keep in mind PC version has a theater mode) but it's only in GTA V threads that people try to twist the meaning of the word bullshot away from 'edited/impossible shots' into 'staged shots'.


take any major console game wherein this approach to marketing screenshots is par for the course and it's usually assumed that the screens are representative of in-game visuals despite their framing. I doubt I'll look back at any Infamous: Second Son/Killzone/Ryse threads and see lots of 'lol bullshot show me real gameplay' just because of specially framed screenshots. I'd just see lots of 'lookin' good!'
 
The game is linked to a pseudo MMO. Of course it's going to have to connect and authenticate, and for all we know the hardware thing is like Steam, how it detects if you're on a new computer and asks you to verify to make sure it's not a hacker.
Could be. Could also be rubbish DRM. Would appreciate confirmation.
 
wtf? Some of these posts man lol

For real. I understand not everyone has a decent PC to game on, but there's no need to be so salty. It's obvious Rockstar spent that extra time on the PC version well.

Actually PS4 has lots of foliage it's just how it's captured i've never seen it. They make it look like it's an actual huge forest when it's not lol.

By adding more foliage? Yep.
I really hope the 660 recommendation for maximum settings is serious. It gives me hope that i will be able to max out this game with my 960. I don't go over 1080p anyway. Also, a 4th gen i5 and 16GB RAM would also help eliminate any bottlenecks.

It's not reccomended for maximum settings. It's just reccomended.

I just realized that we from Brazil got the cheapest GTA V in the world.
Pretty neat. Too bad our economy is in shambles.
 
I'm looking forward to getting this game when I build a new pc later this year.

I don't think my i5 750 and 7970 ghz are up to the task.
 
Even the foliage there is really already rather heavy on PS4... and the cops chasing you down those roads are normal AI behaviour, too. It's a staged shot of course, especially with the non-player camera angle and the dead body (though technically that picture is just behind the motel so you could naturally kill a pedestrian there, too), but it's not really misleading about the gameplay or graphics assets per se -- it just gives the illusion that you're deep in a big forest.

I think they turned the fog and post-rain brightness up because usually the skyline makes it more obvious you're so close to Paleto.

Below I tried to re-create the shot, quickly. It's definitely the right location: you can see the path, the rocks, the shape of that left tree and also the big tree on the right (which, if you look at the video below, you'll see actually is more of a 'stump' because if you pan the camera up just a little, you see there's no more tree). If you look at the 4K screenshots, you can even see the power lines which I found in the same place, too. Same with the white and blue flowers.

So for the first shot I just took it at night during some fog, and the second one I just quickly went up to the highway, got 4-Stars, and rode down to the screenshot location haha

obviously much lower res and compressed a bit but shows same general area and foliage

it's hard to frame it exactly the same because the Rockstar shot is using a non-player camera and I wasn't able to get the foliage and trees to line up quite the same... but the area is loaded with foliage, if you see the video below... and I tried to get the same post-rain shine but it's such a rare weather effect... but the game can sort of have that 'blinding light' after it rains

It's actually a rather pretty area even on PS4... tons and tons of flowers... the video below shows just how full the area is of grass and flowers, but also how small the 'forest' is and how close you are to buildings and roads haha

just in 720p via PS Share and may take a minute to finish processing:

still a pretty area though they really didn't have to add much to it on PC
 
I'll be pulling the triple dip, it'll be fun to compare the PS4 version. I'm hoping to get 1080p60 with some AA on my 970/2600k@4.4
 
My PC is so ready for this and the game is pre-ordered.
Haven't looked forward to a game more than this since Diablo 3 and Skyrim. I am a non xbone/ps4-owner.
 
That's ultrawide isn't it?

I assume that if they support typical ratio 4K then they might support just about any resolution, although wider ones like that I wouldn't be certain about.

Yeah, it is. I bough the monitor instead of a regular 1080p on a friends suggestion, I like the extra space but I'm finding so few games support it properly (Last one I played was Life is Strange, and the pre rendered cutscenes are 1920x1080 so the blackbars come back out). Thank you, though.
 
Still waiting for a sale and I haven't played it at all before. Mainly because rockstar cash grabbing fingers can't reach into my pocket.

Won't support that company unless it is on the cheap.
 
In other words..

"Any screenshot not captured during regular gameplay" is a rather perverted definition. I don't think anybody here would argue that these screenshots were taken while somebody was playing the game as intended, however that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't captured while it was running in real-time.

lol...the guy bring this when we're speaking of the plateform where we can be the less suspicious of it

Do they kidnap puppies? Why are they so undeserving, if I may ask?

PC version will be released year and a half later and it is full price, PC version got delayed few times, we still don't know for example if Independence FM will be in game, R* will remove half of the songs in few years and possibly mess something else too, based on previous ports there is chance that game will be unoptimised, there will be locked/missing contend because PC gamers didn't play console version first, apology money bonus is for users who pre-order and in general ignoring PC community (for example when whole GFWL shutdown thing was announced R* declined to comment what will happen to GTA IV on PC, instead they just changed ToS telling owners that they are not responsible for that).
 
What's funky about it? The terrain is pretty uneven and bumpy there, so it'll distort how the shadow falls.

It's funky because the shadow is way too sharp for being so far away from its caster. You probably shouldn't even be able to distinguish the tire in the shadow. It's not really a complaint I guess; there aren't really many games that take distance into consideration when doing shadows.
 
something i've noticed in these pc screenshots threads is that the people claiming bullshots have a post history of being primarily console players

i wonder why is that, it's very tiring.
 
Hopefully Rockstar deliver the goods in terms of performance. If not, I'll be skipping it since they've already made me realise GTA is not an essential purchase like it once was for me.
 
Don't seem like bullshots to me. I mean look at the foliage and the ground textures. That's pretty ugly in my honest opinion, and they ain't afraid to show it.

The rest looks great though, and totally achievable by a good PC.

Yeah, Rockstar has been good on selecting the camera angles that make it look like some areas are either larger and further away from other places or more detail rich and closer to each other.
 
I guess, nobody saw what I did there.

After seeing the new PC screens...

It's hard to put too much stock into screens nowadays. It's not something I see as unachieavable on mainstream gaming PCs (at 1080p/30fps) but we need gameplay, when the PC version is out we will finally see what enhancements Rockstar have made to the PC version, if any.

I'm completely fine with "console parity", anything more is gravy.

A reasonable stable 60fps is all I need to enjoy GTA 5.

And the PS4 :P
Smart move, I did the same recently (sold both Xbox One and PS4 for 350€). I simply can't imagine playing a multiplat on consoles, 30fps is so last gen.
 
The only question that remains in my mind is, will there be a traffic / pedestrian density slider?

Advertised as captured from PS4:

This has always been the most important aspect of making a city feel 'real' to me. Frankly, after believing the bull shots/videos from the last two releases, I'm going wait a while before grabbing this on discount. I mean, it's a great game and a technical marvel without the BS, but I want a ped/traffic density mod first.

I am mostly ok with a stable 30fps for certain genres, but even with that this console gen fails. (Cough Bloodborne, cough GTA5 remaster...)
 
It can be gifted the first day it popped up, I seized the opportunity using my other Chinese account to buy for my main (it is curiously in US region for unknown reasons).

Yes, it could be gifted, but that ceased being the case weeks ago, hence the present tense. ;)
 
GMG had a recent discount on it.

They still do, it is currently € 46,79 in their VIP section where I live. It is not a steam key however.

It's $30 on nuuvem http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/2086-grand-theft-auto-v

Only place you get a Steam version is on Steam though, so you either get it for 50% off and deal with the Social Club downloader or full price on Steam (I got it for 50€ with TF2 keys the other day, so a small discount at least).
 
If GTA5 on the PC doesn't look exactly as good as those screenshots, it will more than likely come very very close. The game still looks amazing on an Xbox 360. A PC built in 2014+ is upwards of 10x as powerful as that, and these shots hardly stretch the imagination.
