GTA 5 Leaked Footage Confirms Current Gen Console Limitations

Gaming Blend "As evidenced throughout the video, especially starting at the 12:49 mark, we can easily see the Xbox 360 absolutely struggling to keep up at times. The opening intro movie shows blotchy loading of the shadow resolution, as well as shadow and texture pop-in happening in horrendously obvious ways all throughout the video. That's not to mention that the LOD streaming almost seems to be a skip behind the beat at times, where the game is moving faster than what the hardware can keep up with."

[deep_fried_bum_cake]

It's not much of an issue (unless it slips in when driving about or flying). This sort of thing is to be expected anyway. Considering the size of the game, it's amazing they managed to pull it off on current gen consoles.

[dp277407]

If you look around the 20 minute mark the car actually goes through a whole area thats not even been popped in or whatever the thing looks like it actually fucks him up.

[PoSTedUP]

gyaIV was like that on the 360. im driving full speed (which isnt that fast) when all of a sudden i crash dead in my tracks followed by a sign or billboard or w/e pops-in in front of me 3-4 seconds after.

[dp277407]

@Postedup damn that sucks I didnt play much of 4 so I may have never played enough to encounter it although I assume I would of but I never had that happen too me on the PS3.

[Enemy]

Well, this is the 360 port. No evidence of this happening on PS3.

[LaChance]

Yep, with the power of the Cell PS3 version should be alright like with other open world Rockstar games.

[Haules]

GTA4 360 version also had this pop in objects probs and PS3 didn't have these probs. Hope GTA5 will release on the PC.

[Golden_Mud]

Unfortunately the PS3 version have even more in-pops (I have both versions)

[HeyImBen11]

No you havn't, sry.

[Kryptix]

He has both versions through YouTube videos running at 144p resolution. lol

[esemce]

Yep it's true people both versions have pop up and Jaggies everywhere, I want a PC/PS4 version this game deserves better hardware.

It looks great but the old hardware cannot keep up.

[GhostHero333]

Dont try and talk logic around here there are playstation fanboys everywhere on these kinds of article's.

[-Gespenst-]

I've never played GTAIV on the 360 but wasn't it the superior version? I ALWAYS here bad stuff about the ps3 version.

[starchild]

If I remember correctly the 360 version had a higher resolution and a better framerate.

Edit: Ok, I just checked Digital Foundry and this is what they said at the end:

"After almost two thousands words of technical discussion, the bottom line is that it's clear that Rockstar had some issues matching the basic performance of the Xbox 360 game on the PS3 hardware. Lower resolution, zero anti-aliasing support and a more variable frame-rate are the bottom line."
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Oh, and here is an excerpt from their Red Dead Redemption face-off in case you are interested:

"So, we're just left with the matter of the final recommendation. We've demonstrated conclusively that the Xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption possesses higher resolution, improved levels of detail, noticeably superior performance in-game and fewer jaggies owing to a more consistently applied anti-aliasing solution that doesn't blur the image. Shadows are generally sharper, and of better quality (particularly on the characters' self-shadows).

Just about the only area where PS3 commands an advantage is in terms of loading: the 515MB mandatory install shaves off a few seconds, but as the only in-game loading occurs during fast-travel between locations (using the campsite), it's hardly worth mentioning. Certainly the install doesn't grant any kind of tangible performance boost in terms of less LOD-popping or anything like that."
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

I do think that Rockstar has likely improved how their engine functions on the PS3, though, so I expect the PS3 version of GTA5 to perform better than the PS3 versions of GTA4 and RDR. That said, I don't think it is going to be better than the 360 version the way some people are saying.

[esemce]

Yes GTA4 and Red dead both ran better on the 360.

[EazyC]

Look at x number of ps3 streams at the minute and that is instantly proven wrong.

The 360 AND ps3 are really spluttering trying to run this game, which was expected really, if a little disappointing. I hope they port it to PS4, it will do gta v justice.

[NoLongerHereCBA]

I read on Neogaf that someone said that the PS3 version also had fps issues here and there. Doesn't change the fact that it is probably an awesome game. GTA4 also had fps issues.

[RedDeadLB]

GTA4 has fps issues on all platforms.

[Stsonic]

Yer GTA4 runs like a turd on high end PC's even now.

I have an fx 8350 and a 7950 and the game struggles at points. you are definitely not averaging 100fps

[kevnb]

gta 4 runs great on my pc, especially now that I have an ssd. mind you im using reasonable draw distance and traffic settings.

[Are_The_MaDNess]

run at over 100 FPS with a 580....and that isnt that high end even.......

[CoLD FiRE]

GTAIV was a terrible port. It runs like complete shit on my HD7950 no matter what settings I'm playing on, it still stutters even when I'm averaging 60FPS.

I have no problem running demanding games like Crysis 3.

[LOGICWINS]

I'm sure its a fantastic game. Still getting the PS4 version though.

[Deadpoolio]

Thats logical get the version of a game that does not exist and probably wont exist, since Rockstar has pretty much said that NO there will not be PS4/One80 versions

[abusador]

Im wondering, if its announced, will we be able to upgrade our ps3 versionto ps4 for cheap.

[NihonjinChick]

Yes, get the version that probably will never exist.

[LOGICWINS]

It'll be out in a few months to a year. Maybe sooner. I'd actually go as far to say that GTAV was a next-gen title all along and that the PS3/360 versions are just ports of the superior next-gen versions.

Rockstar I'll keep quiet for the next few months while their game sells buttloads and then they'll announce the next-gen version in the Spring so people can double dip.

[NihonjinChick]

In your mind.

[jdaboss]

@Deadpoolio - Yea, except theyve never explicitly said they werent making Next Gen versions or even PC versions either genius.

[MysticStrummer]

If there's a PC version then there will possibly be PS4 and One versions, since we keep hearing how similar both are to PCs. Might be a year or so before the next gen consoles get it though, if they get it at all. I'd say there's a decent chance.

[GarrusVakarian]

Its too be expected on current gen with a game of this size unfortunately. Lets hope next gen and PC versions get announced soon.

[M-M]

That wouldn't make a difference either, GTA4 still had its share of issues on PC.

[cyguration]

That was due to poor porting, though.

[GarrusVakarian]

GTA4 was a notoriously bad port.

[Stsonic]

GTA4 pc version is bad, it will struggle to hit 60fps even on a high end pc now.

If max payne 3 has anything to go by the game will be flawless if it ever comes.

[kingduqc]

Share of issues but it still run at 60 fps in 2560*1440 on my PC.

also, last r* game on pc was preatymuch flawless, they learned their lesson

[ReesesPuffs]

All I saw was a highly detailed game that probably shouldn't even be able to run on current gen platforms. Seriously people get pissy over the tiniest things. Just enjoy it for the achievement it really is.

[Amplitude]

If you fastforward to 12:49 and watch the little intro thing, it's incredibly noticeable and distracting. Objects and people and buildings and textures and shadows all popping in for like 3 seconds after the screen changes.

Honestly i dont think it's wrong to complain that GTAV isnt for PS4/One/PC. It looks amazing on the current gen consoles but i would much rather have it look more amazing on better hardware... sorry if that makes me pissy.

[maximus1985]

no your not

[Adexus]

That's an issue with the guys install I bet, I've played through the intro twice and had no issues whatsoever like he had in the video :\

[mhunterjr]

Considering GTA4 ran much better on the 360 than the ps3, I'd say both platforms will have their issues... Not that it's that big a deal... It's a rediculously ambitious late gen title...

[Deadpoolio]

Uh probably not it's not 2008 anymore and most of the developers who aren't lazy have long figured out the PS3. If there is it wont be anywhere near as bad on PS3, L.A. Noire looked and ran better on PS3

[Golden_Mud]

Actually I have both versions :

* PS3 runs smoother
* PS3 runs at 30-35 FPS
* Xbox 360 runs at 30-33 FPS
* Xbox 360 have slightly better anti-aliasing
* Xbox 360 have slightly better textures
* Xbox 360 have slightly better distance lines
* Xbox 360 have less pop-in

The Verdict : PS3 runs smoother , Xbox 360 have better visuals

[MysticStrummer]

GTA4 ran better on PS3, but the 360 version had slightly better visuals, as IHassounah said.

Watching me play GTA4 on my PS3 was one of the things that pushed a friend of mine to buy a PS3, because there was so much pop in on the 360 version during car chases. He said he'd run into buildings he couldn't see.

As for GTA5, now we see the reason why only PS3 footage was shown for so long. The 360 version will still be a great game, but PS3 gets the win.

[Swiggins]

....I didn't even see the problem

ಠ_ಠ

[Soldierone]

When they go into the city, stuff is constantly loading all over the place. Textures, objects, etc.... at one point the entire street was basically empty, then everything popped up.

[HeyImBen11]

Maybe because itsthe beginning of the game and everything has still to load ? :)

[Swiggins]

The stream kept crashing for me, so I didn't see it. Huh...oh well, small price to pay I say.

[PersonMan]

GTA IV had lots of pop in textures and objects all the time. I didn't think anyone was going to think this game was going to be without flaws.

[UsernameOfTheDead]

The PS3 version looks so much better. I guess R* was able to squeeze a little more power out of the Cell since that is the lead dev platform for GTA V. I'm really looking forward to the inevitable PS4 version of GTA V.

[CrimsonStar]

Same here im looking forward to the xbox 1 version :D.

[teedogg80]

I can't wait to see a comparison video.

[zeeman]

Seriously. Come on the games freaking huge. I reckon rockstar are allowed a few glitches PRE-RELEASE

[Shadonic]

Day one patches >.>

[abusador]

I definitely agree, as long as it isnt game breaking. A good example is Dark Souls, it had few frame rate oroblems here and there but it was so awesome I didnt care.

[Rimeskeem]

Just for the sake of getting another 5 million sales they should put it on the next gens

[GraveLord]

I bet Microsoft and Sony are trying to secure it as a timed-exclusive as we speak.

[Rimeskeem]

If anyone gets timed exclusivity it would be Sony because Rockstar owes them like 20 million

[tigertron]

The beach part looked dreadful with floating cars and people, but this is running on 8 year old hardware, this is to be expected.

[MatriXcian]

CONFIRMED SUPERIOR VERSION ON PS3!!!

[Belking]

Lol....not. We all know chances are the 360 version will be better just like most multiplat releases this gen. You can thank Sony for that one.greatness awaits right....lol

[MatriXcian]

Actually im sure it will be the better version if you hadnt noticed ALL gameplay shown was from the PS3 version. Not to mention Sony and Rockstar were working together to make the PS3 version the best it could be and if you take a look at PS3 exclusives they blow away any game on the 360 graphically this has been quite evident time and time again.

[Deadpoolio]

Uh yeah NO...It hasn't been that way since 2008....Most multiplats either look better on PS3 or they run the same since it's not 9 year old inferior hardware like the 360....Nice try though someone must be an Xbot troll....

It probably should have gone with out saying the PS3 version would be superior much like Rockstar's last 2 games were L.A. Noire looked and ran better on PS3 and Max Payne 3 looked and ran better on PS3

[abusador]

"Like most" definitely not all, save those tears for when you get your media box lol Too bad ps4 is so awesome you wont be able to use tht bs defense anymore hahaha

greatness truly awaits....

Killzone and Second son smile at you. Best looking games nxt gen and gameplay wise seem fun, unlike, well you know tht GoW clone lol

[Kryptix]

Not sure why Xbots always have to live in denial. Like there's a 1 millisecond subliminal message when they start up their Xbox 360. lol

The PS3 is the lead platform for GTA V. Sorry the Xbox 360 can't handle the PS3's power so it has to lag at certain places.

http://www.gamerevolution.c...

Why do I even link facts since apparently Xbox fanboys can't accept the truth.

For example:

*Article about developers stating that the PS4 is more superior to the Xbox One*

Xbox fanboy: But...but...MisterX said that the Xbox One has 3 GPUs. Wait till AMD finally release the facts, then those 2 other GPUs will magically be usable to the developers through a satellite transmission.

lmao

[GraveLord]

Ps3 is the lead platform for this game. So it'll look better on it. PS3 is much more powerful than PS3....if enough time is given to it.

[Golden_Mud]

Actually I have both versions :

* PS3 runs smoother
* PS3 runs at 30-35 FPS
* Xbox 360 runs at 30-33 FPS
* Xbox 360 have slightly better anti-aliasing
* Xbox 360 have slightly better textures
* Xbox 360 have slightly better distance lines
* Xbox 360 have less pop-in

The Verdict : PS3 runs smoother , Xbox 360 have better visuals (I pasted this again so people can see it"not a fanboy") , every console have it's own advantage

[Kryptix]

Rockstar wouldn't use the inferior version to showcase the game. PS3 footage was used in all of the trailers.

http://www.vg247.com/2013/0...

And do you have a benchmarker? Since you pulled 30-35 and 30-33 out of nowhere. And you do know that's not how it works. Console games are either locked at 30 FPS or 60FPS and once it is, it can only go lower than the locked number so I know you're just making things up.

[mhunterjr]

Are you talking about gta4 or a leaked gta5, because it's well documented that the 360 version of gta4 performs better in terms of resolution, frame rate, visuals, and controller latency.

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

It doesn't really matter. Unless someone has both consoles, the choice is made for them, and they'll be getting a great game either way.

[starchild]

@Kryptix

That's not true. GTA4 ran with an unlocked frame rate and other games have as well.

"What is clear is that both versions adhere to no specific frame-rate. They'll pump out as many frames as they can, roughly averaging out to around 30fps (though it can go higher). However, the amount of time any given frame will stay on-screen is variable, leading to a very inconsistent look."
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

I'm not saying that what IHassounah is saying is true, but it very well could be.

[Cuders]

PS3 has always had better graphics then xbox 360. games like hitman absoulution and GTA V run super smooth and actually have texture.

[Soldierone]

I want to know if the PS3 version has the same issue, and if it does I wonder why Rockstar pushed it to current gen instead of just waiting it out for next gen.

I understand they want more sales, as this game cost a lot to make, but they could have put out a Red Dead Redemption or something to hold off while next gen gets an install base, then release this.

[BLAKHOODe]

It'll do for now.

Only 9 more weeks till next-gen is here!!!

[isarai]

I've seen a lot of the leaked gameplay videos already and this is the only one i've seen where the pop-ins are that bad. Seen both PS3 and 360 gameplay and they both did not have such bad loading issues like in this video. i'm guessing it's a rare or isolated case

[cyguration]

Apparently you never played GTA IV on the 360 or PS3 either, eh?

[isarai]

i still own it on PS3, but it was never that bad, yeah it had some popins but not nearly as extreme as it is in this video

[Jovanian]

It isn't enough that the city of Los Santos is virtually empty with what seems to be the population of a city in skyrim, the game has to struggle and make huge sacrifices to graphics to even run on consoles. Its painful to see this game being held back by such dated tech, even on next gen consoles it would have been better off

[THC CELL]

Played both versions at work and ps3 version has the edge

[Aleithian]

And this is why I'm happy waiting for a next-gen version. I don't want my experience of this game to be tarnished by the limitations of current-gen. There's plenty of other games for me to enjoy in the meantime, to say nothing of the advent of next-gen. And if a next-gen version doesn't come out, hopefully current-gen performance will have been improved through patches by the time I get the game. Either way, I'm zen about this whole thing.

[cunnilumpkin]

it will be absolutely COVERED in jaggies on both platforms, terrible framrerate, awful shadows, horribly low res textures

R* will release this game on pc 100%

and I would say after each next gen system sells 20 million a piece they will release on next gen too

I may rent the ps3 version, but I really think I won't even bother, at this point everything on last gen ps3 and 360 looks absolutely awful, the last of us is the UGLIEST looking game I have played since whatever console game I played before that, it looked terrible

I don't want to ruin this masterpiece by playing on an 8 year old system that cannot even get smooth edges right

[EdoubleD]

Here comes the PC brigade.

[ShaunCameron]

And their usual "consoles holding the PC back" rhetoric.

[xPhearR3dx]

Really dude? The Last of Us looked incredible. I have a high-end gaming PC and for the most part my PS3 collects dust until an exclusive comes along or no PC version and there's no denying the visuals in The Last of Us. You're just being a troll.

[starchild]

Yeah, I thought The Last of Us looked really good, especially for a console game. He must be referring to image quality and performance because TLOU did have some issues with aliasing and framerate drops.

[MatriXcian]

You completely lost me at TLOU being ugly. I think instead of complaining about the consoles you should go to an eye docter shit seems blurry to you.

[MysticStrummer]

Bitter PC fan confirmed.

[inf3cted1]

I have the 360 version atm and that didnt happen to me. He probably didnt install the game / bad 360 reading.

[Benchm4rk]

I was gonna suggest the same thing. A lot of things could attribute to this. Maybe he is running it on an old 360 with a small HDD. His HDD is near full or he hasn't cleared his cache. He probably hasn't installed the game so its trying to run from the disc. All of those things will cause load problems on the 360.

[xPhearR3dx]

Edit: Meant to post this as a reply.

[-Gespenst-]

Well it doesn't look like the trailers or the screenshots that's for sure.

[Campy da Camper]

That's what irks me. If there was nextgen and PC versions already confirmed and releasing soon then one could say, ok, they are using PC footage. But they're not. Only ps3/Xbox 360 versions are being released so then what the hell was running the big 5 minute trailer that looked uber smooth and buttery?

False advertisement is false advertisement.

[Nekroo91]

Oh god xbots are out tonight. this game looks better on the ps3 and you can disagree all you want but its a fact. Rockstar always uses the full potential of the platform, unlike gta 4 they have experience with the ps3, la noire and ma payne proved that both games were superior on the ps3

[Plagasx]

Sighs, I still don't understand why R* won't announce a damn PC version yet. All these pop in and textures issues will be a thing of the past on PCs.

[MoonGazing]

uh i dont think this will be a big issue seeing as how i watched atleast 2hours of some guy streaming on the 360 last night and this occured only once or twice.

[dc1]

yup.

[maximus1985]

the last minute of the gameplay is funny, frankling SLAPS a man across the face

[AmkOwns]

not surprised, the game looks next-gen (PS4) material

[Gr1mmyshadows]

im sure if I download it on to my HD that most of those issue will be fixed

[DOOMZ]

Im getting it on Next Gen, screw that!

[GamePeace]

Deep Down will crush the pervert out of GTA, with a straightness of Dark Souls and a hardness of Monster Hunter combined, who is GTA? GTA wont be anymore in my eyes...

[MattyG]

lolwut?

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Don't installing the game suppose to help with it? There will be patches day like any other game.

[feraldrgn]

Now all we need are PC, PS4 & XBone versions. :]

[trywizardo]

you have to install the game to make it better , its a must install game for both dvd's to see the full 360 capabilities

[Neurotoxin]

Some people are never happy.

[bmxdrury]

The problem with the 360/PS3 versions is it feels lie a ghost town, hardly any cars on the road or people walking around.

[iraqmilner]

I can tell you right now, the PS3 version of this game does NOT behavior like it's Xbox counterpart. Verified.

[Dirkster_Dude]

The whole texture loading thing looked like it couldn't pull the information from the DVD fast enough. Hopefully, installing the game to the hard drive will eliminate most of it. Some of the other issues seem to be the capture card itself. There is a reason why these are not official videos. People need to take them with a grain of salt, until we see actual reviews. This is of course one of the reasons why they don't want people showing the videos early.

[CrossingEden]

Nothing a quick system installation/day one patch won't fix.

[Deku-Johnny]

See this is why it's good we're getting new consoles this year. I remember commenting about this kind of problem last year saying we need the 8th gen and people were replying saying the 7th gen consoles could easily hold out for another few years. WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW?

[Nivalis]

Wow the Xbox fan damage control in this thread is almost too cute.

[TrollCraftTales]

Honestly, I have played so many console games that this was almost unnoticeable, it probably wouldn't even be in the top 100 worst pop in textures, I am still getting this game day 1 but I really hope it comes out on PC and Next Gen, PC for Mods and singleplayer, next gen for multiplayer with my friends...

[cunnilumpkin]

GTA V - Return of the Jaggies and Sub-HD textures

looks awful, will wait for pc version

[bromtown]

I do think the PS3 version will look slightly better but either way I think people expect too much. This is essentially the same game engine as GTA IV, yes it's been improved a lot but it's not going to outperform games like The Last of Us which had around 15 full characters and then some goons, and maps rather than an open world. It looks way better than IV and the 360 came out in 2005! Be thankful for your near decade of enjoyment. People complaining about this game don't deserve this game.

Further and off topic slightly, as the massive console war is going on - there seems to be a lot of complaints about the graphics of this game, I thought it was all about the games not the graphics you two faced sods.

[OneAboveAll]

I'v watched a lot of leaked videos and have seen no issues. Guys box must be jacked.

Move along nothing to see here.

[ArtificiallyYours]

At this point I'm only caring about playing the game.

Hell I've dealt with the 360 freezing with GTA IV.

[Nafon]

would saving it on the hard drive improve texture loading? LA Noire was worse than what i saw in that video.

[kingduqc]

Good thing I waited the PC version lol.

games looks hirribad and run like crap

[JD2013]

Oh dear. Put away the console war gloves.

There are, of course, going to be limitations with a game this big on current gen consoles. But playing before they can release any updates, capture cards, and YouTube can also contribute to it not looking as good.

Wacky idea, try waiting and playing it yourself before pre-judging?

[OhhWerd]

There is probably an update that has not been released yet that all new games seem to have anymore that fixes these minor glitches. Every new game I get always seems to have an update prior to first play.

Still getting 360 version

[Dirkster_Dude]

Any comparison between the 360 and PS3 version mean absolutely nothing. The only people who care are those who need to justify the purchase in there own minds by demeaning someone else. If it was a physical confrontation it would be considered bullying. The only other possibility to justify, which version might be better is someone has both consoles and they want to know which is best. For that I would wait for the reviews. No one is going to change there purchase based on comments from these threads. They will buy the version of for the console they have.

[OhhWerd]

Well said bro

[Haki1112]

got me a early copy at walmart Installed both disc to the hard drive i never had bad load times or popping out textures

[GhettoBlasStarr]

Now the truth comes out on why they were so strict on taking down early gameplay leaks. When ever they do that no gameplay footage Shit, they always trying to hide something. Game companies need to stop playing with peoples money like that.
If someone is willing to do research on a game by trying to find gameplay videos, that's their right to do so, so stop trying to take are money and run with it.

**"Spoilers can't stop a great game from selling.....Period!!"**

[ufo8mycat]

https://mega.co.nz/#!EtNFFZ...

Download that video. Person capture 360 version of the game, while playing

To be honest, for such old hardware, it runs pretty damn well.

And funny how the people who have been playing this on PS3 and 360 already didn't report any issues shown in this article.

And the above video also proves otherwise.

Seems like the person reporting in the article, didn't have the game installed.

[DJ]

I think a PS4/ Xbox One port is inevitable. I want to see this game in crisp HD with no texture pop-in.

[ufo8mycat]

Well to be honest I feel bad for those people who are that sensitive to graphical flaws and can't 100% enjoy the game because of this.

Have fun waiting, while others enjoy the hell out of this game now.

And DAMN those people who are playing it now =P

[ramiuk1]

i cant actuall see anything wrong with it,looks pretty sweet to me.anyone gimme some time stamps as to these game breaking things please.

there is a damn lot going off on the screen and im trying to find loads of pop ups and issues and i cant see any

[jeenyus]

There are tons of people that have issues with pop-ins because they play the pirated version and dunno how to install it and use external HDD's. Some don't even make it past the loading screen, it's not a "360" issue. The game has far less pop-ins than GTAIV did on any console and given the graphics boost from IV, it's not even bothersome.

Stop being retarded kids that have 1 console and stand by it, the game is pretty much identical on PS3/X360. This is not 2007-08 anymore.

[WitWolfy]

I call BS I haven't been experiencing ANY distance texture pop ups on my JTAG. I think this guy didnt Install the game to the HDD before playing it.

[BIGBOSS08]

why are xbox fans straight up lying about GTA IV being better on 360? i remember plently of sites saying it was overall better on PS3 and i've seen both versions running. the ps3 version had better draw distance and way less pop in. 360 just had more colour! who gives a shit about that? GTA V on PS3 all day long!

[cunnilumpkin]

you guys don't REALLY think this is going to be improved by an install or patch do you??

seriously>??

every ps3/360 games looks this bad

even last of us that all the sony bros act like is a great looking game is covered in jaggies and has terrible shadows and low res textures everywhere

this is just what last gen 8 year old console games look like!

[iistuii]

Agree, TLOU was a great game but boy could it have done with some AA.
The trouble is these guys have never actually sat down with a top gaming rig with everything maxed out or they wouldn't come out with the shit they say.

[Stuntz]

AND this is why im waiting for next gen a few months wont harm me, AND ill get to fully experience GTA 5!

[cellur111]

Rockstar is making a huge mistake not releasing it on xbox one,ps4 and pc sooner.

[iistuii]

Don't you people realise it won't just be the 360 version with these pop ins sub hd poor textures & covered in jaggies. It's both consoles that have these & have for years. I really laugh how you argue over the slightest difference.

[for we are many]

I don't know why all this Sony vs MS electronic-pillow-fight is still happening. Honestly, I've almost completely transitioned to PC(thanks to Steam!!) the only thing I also care about is Nintendo games, and for that I have a WiiU and 3DS. But on the subject of GTA IV's overall performance and visuals I think the 360 version was relatively better than ps3's(I have both versions) which holds true for most of multiplats that appeared on the HD twins (I wasted massive amounts of money and time on pathetic graphics comparisons, again thank you Steam and Nintendo!!).
As for GTA V I am planning to wait for a PC version, I honestly don't care about ps4 or xbox1 any more.

[worldwidegaming]

(As a gamer who owns em all)
lmao! This is generally the horror PC gamers experience when they play console games. Yes, Uncharted and a host of other games ran great but if you honestly think that these issues will go away then your in a world of hurt...Butthurt that is!

Feel free to throw in a "Deal with it" that people seem to forget before the dreaded "180"
"graphics is not EVERYTHING!" yet "PS4 is the most powerful console!"

Looking at both camps trying to explain why its not ALSO coming out for next gen systems and then dealing with the fact that they must deal with a dated console must be painful.

I for one will be enjoying GTA V on my ps3. I can care little for the pop up or hickup at time.
"S%^T happens!"

This is one reason why i'm hoping for the inevitable next gen version release coming early next year with the PC|XBone|PS4. GTA V should have been one of those play now and pay like $10 to upgrade to digital games.

There's limitations on any hardware, to think otherwise is idiotic, especially since we're talking about around seven year old tech.

Is this a game that I should get a digital copy of? Less work for the actual drive? I'm getting it for my ps3. Suggestions?
