The only problem remaining is successfully getting that gigabyte-some patch from PSN successfully :argh:

For what it's worth, I had to get it twice. :v:

Booted a physical copy up earlier today, got the patch, was under the impression it was installed. Six hours later I logged on to do the nightfall in Destiny and noticed that GTA was downloading the patch again. Went without a hitch surprisingly - a buddy in the Destiny fireteam said the patch download was constantly failing.

Surprised PSN seems to have survived the beginning of the major release apocalypse day as well as it has. It's been breaking down with a lot less on PS4.

First person is genuinely awesome though. Yeah, it's rougher than dedicated games, but god damnit if it didn't feel exciting here. I can't wait to go flying towards the sunset.

Heads up for the PS4 players, if you swipe left/right on the touchpad while you're in a car it cycles your weapons. Swipe up and down to change the radio station.

Loving this so far, I really like what they've done with the lightbar on the controller. It's pretty cool that it flashes red and blue when you're wanted by the police.

All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

They are, but it's really hard to get thrown into one. I blow up every personal car I come across and I haven't been in one since the early days.

If you DO get thrown into one, it's insanely easy to get out early. You have behave yourself in the BSL for 30 minutes after which you SHOULD be labeled "dodgy", then you join a race, quit before it launches, and you should be in a public regular lobby.

Oof, that's pretty bad. Now the Xbone version just needs to run at a noticeably lower resolution (made worse by blurry poo poo AA) and frame rate, and it'll be exactly like RDR on PS3!

Where's the option for this? Did I just completely miss it when I was loving around with the settings?

I don't really know now. When I started playing the game, my TV said 3D signal detected (which it has never done before in any game).

I'm starting to think it was a glitch or something. It looked decent to me, but then again that was the first time ever I've tried the 3D mode. :v:

No way! Is that really what it looks like on the XB1? I thought those were more current/next gen comparison pics at first glance. Wow. I seriously feel bad for Xbox owners. Now I know why all the new trailers were recorded on PS4.

The issue is non-parity because of less foliage and missing effects, not no foliage at all.

Well they've only been advertising the PS4 version of the re-release in TV commercials and they only put out a launch trailer for the PS4 version, I guess because the Bone version doesn't look like a re-release at all, so they were hoping to kinda sweep it under the rug.

That was debunked in a reddit thread earlier.

Someone went to that area on the xbox one and took a picture:



I think there's a video in that topic as well.

So those screenshots and that video is fake - the xbox one footage is actually captured on a 360.

Transfers should work for everybody (who last played in 2013) now. If you have 2014 play and cannot transfer, file a support ticket with Rockstar, they may need all the cases they can get to help figure errors out.

We're being watched.
I'm getting a decent amount of stuttering on PS4 when I go through downtown and along Vespucci Beach. I've also had some occasional N64 level pop-in with office buildings having their lights on, this is the physical release even though there's no difference between disc and digital. I will say that I didn't bother with photo's on PS3 but now I can't stop taking them. It's just so beautiful. Also running around in first person stabbing people in the butt never gets old.

So, I picked this up for ps4 and maybe it's because I'm just too early in the game, but did they get rid of the non-apartment garages? Like the ones that hold a bunch of cars for each player? All I have is franklins house garage and that doesn't fit poo poo. Do I just need to advance the story some?

I was wondering that myself. I was planning on using them mainly for touristy stuff and freaking myself out by jumping off of high places, because I can't imagine first person mode being that satisfying when you're in the thick of it.

They're cool sometimes but I'm having a horrible time with the first person driving in particular and the game really doesn't lend itself to situational awareness. It's cool but I think I'm gonna give up on using it for anything aside from loving around.

Yeah it feels pretty much like arma 2 only slightly more sluggish and it does things like lean and roll your head automatically

You have to purchase those garages. They unlocked for free in last-gen as a collector's edition bonus, I believe.
