Can a friend with the PS3 version help me get the returning players items (I really want that railgun...)? He already played the game and I heard that I have to create an account on R* SC , give the login info to him, have him do the first mission and then when I log in the game it will give me the items. But it is really that simple to trick R*? Isn't it once per-console meaning I could only do this if I played with HIS account (and he doesn't play the NG version), or a single guy can do this with however many people he wants and give all his friends the exclusive items?

 

Hello? Why is this thread so seldomly replied to...? :/

Interesting piece for those who have already transferred to PS4 or Xbone and are still getting the PC version.

“Hello, wanted to ask about Online character progress transfer. I read on your Support site that it can be done only once. So my question is, I have a level 200 character on my PS3, I want to buy the PC version but think Santa might bring me the PS4 version. If I transfer my character to PS4, does that mean I am not allowed to transfer to PS3 character to the PC version when it ships next month?” – Tommy (via Mouthoff)

To be clear, if you transfer or have already transferred your progress from PS3 or Xbox 360 to either PS4 or Xbox One, then you will still be able to do another transfer again from PS4 or Xbox One to PC.

If you want a wireless controller, Xbox 360 with wireless receiver

 

If not, Xbone controller is the most appealing to me

Possibly at low-medium settings.

Rockstar has yet to announce official minimum/recommended requirements.

So until then we can't guarantee and even then, it depends on how good GTA V has been optimized.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have a mix of settings that would allow you to walk around in 3rd person and aim in 1st person?

Is this possible right now on consoles?

No, not that i know of. It's either first person on foot or first person in vehicles, you can for example set it up it so that if you'd like to be in first person on foot and third while driving, it automatically switches perspective.

But if on PC we could map first person switch to any desired key, you just have to hit that key (let's say NUM1) before aiming or macro NUM1 to your right mouse button so it would switch when your press it.

This is not possible as of now and there has been no announcement on the subject in a PC version. I don't think they'll add a mix of settings on the PC edition.

 

Also, this is not possible in current consoles. You have use either First Person or Third person, for both Aiming and Driving/On foot.

STOP SPAMMING.

All the questions in this thread will be answered, But you have to be patient rather than posting the same thing thrice, actually four times.

 

Now to your question.

 

No, most probably, it is not a port. Yes, It has been developed seperately for PC.

Source: Build logs suggest that PC version was in development since 2012, and was developed alongside the console versions.

That's what I thought.

Guess I won't be using this FPS view that much then.

Hi guys

 

i have a asus i7 laptop with a nvidia 740 m videocard and 8gb ram do i stand a chance to play at all?

Far Cry 4 is a fairly comparable game as to what GTA 5 should be like, but that's just my opinion. What games do you already have and at what FPS do they run?

PC specs will be announced this week so just keep an eye on Rockstar's Newswire or something.

Which cars are those?

Not the place for this, but they are the Dinka Jester (close) and the Debauchy(?) Massacro (far). Please forgive any misspells.

Dinka Jester and Dewbauchee Massacro with race liveries.

 

P.S. This is a wrong section.

Guys if you want a good fps with a medium graphic card like the nvidia 740m 8gb, what things do you have to change? Lot of people talking about shadows and reflections is this true?

Yes. Shadows and Reflections play a major role in a game. They make the look the game look better and realistic, but at a cost of performance, ie, lower fps.

740m will be able to handle the game at low-medium settings with decent fps.

Will be the same car bug in gta v (like when we get a car everyone has it!)

Of course not. Bugs will be different.

Weirdly enough I haven't asked this before. Does anyone know if my online character from the 360 will be transferable to the PC? Also I haven't been on for about 2 months now because

I did away with Xbox Live; Will everything still be there?

Sorry if it has been said before.

Yes. It will be transferable to the PC in all ways.

And all of your stuff will be there. If any of your stuff is missing after or during the transfer process, then contact Rockstar Support via Ticket..n they will restore all of your stuff.

 

Regards

alright so i'm building my first PC soon. just have a question regarding my online character....

 

i transferred it from PS3 to PS4. is there any way i can play with the same one on PC? or will i have to make a new one? also i want to be able to play with it both on ps4/pc.

 

if it's not possible it's really no big deal. PC will be a whole new experience for me so might as well start with a new character but preferably would like to keep my current one.

Yes.. even if u have transferred your character from PS3 to PS4...You will be able to transfer it one more time from your ps4 to the PC.....But you won't be able to play with this character on ps4 along with the pc.. u can play it on either one of them..
