GTA V (PS4/X1) Traffic isn't like what we saw in the trailers?

[Assifuah]

These forums are beautiful, I now see what so many people mean by "idiots who think their opinions are fact" like the kid above crying about lies and Red Dead Online.

 

These threads are no different from the ones before any leaks started - they are speculation threads. You are speculating, whether you have the game or not the content patch hasn't been applied. It's not about lies, who's right, who's wrong or money. It's about a couple of people who believe they're some form of R* prophets who are fed facts from developers while they sleep. Game isn't even officially released yet, it's impossible to have an informed opinion of it.

 

As the topic of this thread - From what I've seen people can't even drive on roads with a few cars. Never mind dense rush hour traffic in the evening, LOL. You really don't know what you're asking for if you want that kind of heavy traffic - it's pretty to look at but it wouldn't be playable. Don't worry, I'll make a video for you on my shiny config edited PC version.

You guys need to stop judging a game that is not officially released yet, and wait till the 18th to get the game for yourself with the day one patched installed. Then, you can complain to Rockstar or not for false advertising. Until then, just wait.

okay its 3 more days

 

 

 

Also if you have the reddit link, someone posted a pic of GTA V on PS4 and it shows heavy amount of traffic. I can't post it because that would be against a rule of the forum.

 

i already seen 20 more video of gameplay from twitch ps4

its all good f*ck big traffic if they put real traffic in game you can't drive around the streets and freeways

I'm watching a vid right now. Vinewood blvd, at night and it's full of cars. Each intersection has a good number of them and they render way up to the horizon which looks stunningly good. Turn a corner: another line of at least 8 to 12 cars waiting for the red light, and more driving up.

 

Not sure how many cars people were expecting?

[..GhosT]

Of course its a fake, there were almost no cars at all in the background.

Trailers always lie. Especially rockstar trailers. You should know that by now.

Probably why it's one of the reasons they lowered it down a bit.

[Antaxi]

Hahahahahaha, yes guys... Believe in patch... They LIED to us. There will be patch, but it won't increase traffic, won't open interiors, won't fix police AI and stealth system, it will just fix small bugs. It's false marketing, nothing more. And if you believe in they f*cking promises that everything is better then you are very naive.

They simply slighlty improve graphics, and few effects, create cars interiors and add fps mode (it's simply move camera to the eyes, nothing complicated) and they have next sale record. It's f*cking pathetic. One day people bitching about how AC Unity is sh*t and how microtransactions ruin the game, and next day they play V on next gens, paying microtransaction and kissing R* ass. It's normally, people just need time to realize that R* is next Ubisoft. And it will be worse every game they will release, because after V they know that people will buy every game no matter what. If next game is Read Dead then prepare for Red Dead Online with microtransactions, and single-player to be completely f*cked up. Mark my words.

 

 

RIP Grand Theft Auto 1997-2010. I will remember you as one of the best game series on the world, killed by money.

not only they put all weapons (dlc with CE) and cars (dlc with CE) IN VANILLA GAME NOW ITS FOR ANYONE!

they want real LA traffic on Sunset blvd LOL

Traffic density of the trailers confirmed, just seen it in the stream. it was nuts

Yeap, just saw that highway midday. Holy cow, that traffic looks almost annoying with its density. lol

[Geralt of Rivia]

Still waiting for the 18th.

[Wheatley]

Even if it's dumbed down or mostly the same I'm not bothered about the traffic. Imagine if it was actually like Los Angeles - you'd be spending more time in traffic jams and gridlock than speeding around in your Adder or Entity. Racing and escaping the police would be dreadful because you'd cause a massive pile up or you'd get instantly caught by the police by driving directly into gridlock. The spawning certainly looks better - no more 5 or 10 BeeJay XLs driving around in an assortment of colours.

[Trevorphilipjfry]

I thought the patch was only for Online stability

 

And I'm sure it's not worse than LG, it can only be better if not. Rockstar gone done goofed up

[lazloisdavrock]

Its not dumbed down, we all just seen the traffic in the stream like it was in the trailer

a patch could easily sort this out.

 

rockstar knew damn well that the game would leak. they could have "dumbed down" the game on purpose.

 

i'm no game developer but i do have a little coding experience to understand how easily it is to hide things from the user. all they gotta do is release a patch that changes the values of traffic density. knowing the game would leak they could've set it to "20" and the patch will change the value to "70" (example). it's really as simple as that.

 

a pc game is different to a console game but just look at this from the config file of WoW that i have on my computer:

 

SET particleDensity "10"

SET reflectionMode "0"

SET SSAOBlur "1"

SET terrainLodDist "500"

SET wmoLodDist "450"

SET componentTextureLevel "0"

SET weatherDensity "0"

SET groundEffectDensity "64"

SET groundEffectDist "160"

SET gameTip "79"

SET maxFPS "40"

SET gxMultisample "2"

SET rippleDetail "1"

SET gxResolution "1280x720"

that's basically just the settings of the graphics/performance (i have a sh*tty laptop). of course on console we can't access these types of files without hacking and even then we can't change the way the game runs/looks like on a pc.

rockstar could have printed the disc copies of GTAV with code like this:

SET particleDensity "25"

SET reflectionMode "0"

SET terrainLodDist "450"

SET weatherDensity "8"

SET groundEffectDensity "64"

SET groundEffectDist "160"

SET maxFPS "25"

SET gxResolution "1280x720"

 

then with the patch it would be like this:

 

SET particleDensity "40"

SET reflectionMode "1"

SET terrainLodDist "500"

SET weatherDensity "10"

SET groundEffectDensity "32"

SET groundEffectDist "200"

SET maxFPS "30"

SET gxResolution "1920x1080"

so the game would go from running at 25fps 720p with low ground (foliage), particle, no car reflections and low weather effects to a game running at 30fps 1080p with more foliage, higher particles, car reflections and more complicated weather effects.

that's how easy a patch could change the look and feel of a game.

Yeah, I just saw it too. Freaking road was jam packed.

[cryptorelic]

So you are looking at leaked material and say it looks sh*t ? Now please all think twice about it...

 

We will get an official patch on both consoles November 18th so NOBODY is able to enjoy the nice new features of GTA V before exactly this date.

 

It's more logical than all your complaints about "Oh my gawd R* lied to us" and so on... just wait until the official release date and don't watch leaked streams who get blocked and banned 3 days before, jeez.

[Martijnn]

Streams are compressed, when you watch a recorded stream at youtube, it's double compressed. Never can judge the graphics by this.

[victm92]

Why do people think they need to rework the entire came for "content"?

 

The number of cars that spawn is just a simple value in the popcycle.dat. This is really all they need to adjust.

 

Exactly. Pretty much the same that one55 said later. I have faith in that patch!

Duh!! Game wasnt fully released yet.

Thank you, now close this topic please lol - those people all seem to forget about it.

[Gdog]

alright guys,

 

i'm watching a stream right now and...

 

the traffic density is most definitely just as good as we saw in the trailer. looks awesome as f*ck.

 

if you want a link to live twitch streams...PM me

[1987_EC]

OP just get the PC version..problem solved.

[AlienWillHeMonsta]

I watched at least 10 PS4 streams over the last two days and haven't noticed any difference in traffic or pedestrian density compared with the last gen game. If the game is being 'tested' before the patch then why reduce traffic levels? It needs to be run at full capacity now.

Edited November 15, 2014 by AlienWillHeMonsta

[Trevorphilipjfry]

I think it is more dense than LG, according to the others that have watched it.

 

 

But PS why exactly would they lower it before release, to be fixed by a patch.

 

That's needless resources

Wasted time removing it in 1st place

And a slap in the face to those without internet.

 

Althought it CAN be fixed with a patch, the day one patch wouldn't.

 

But that doesn't matter seeing as its lost likely just like in the trailers... And

[iKonrad]

I don't think any patch will improve this. Seeing how many streams are out there, why would they risk getting a bad name just for the sake of surprise?

 

On the other hand, Achieving denser traffic is not as simple as tweaking some values in code. It takes lots of testing and optimisations. Apparently it's all what NG consoles are capable of.

 

 

Also, car damage is pretty puny methinks. But I can live with that.

Really interested to see how the released game will hold up to the first trailer.

[Nick930930]

I'm sure there is only an INCREASE in density of traffic/pedestrians on the PS4. It's a stronger system than PS3 so why wouldn't it? Not to mention Rockstar already claimed that there is an increase in density.

 

 

Worst case scenario, the density was just barely raised, and we'll see an even more drastic increase in density come January with the PC release.

[MikeyB]

 

 

 

There will be a patch. I think that will solve a LOT of little worries.

 

For example, when someone dialed 911 or anyone else the dialogue you were supposed to hear was not there.

It's a nearly finished game... It will be finished with the patch on the 18th... Neat trick from R° to not make us spoil R*'s surprises for everyone when leaks are rampant

If it was a PS4 stream, that would probably be because phone call audio comes through the controller's speaker?

 

Hmm. How is that going to work when you are wearing headphones while playing which I ALWAYS do because by TV speakers are crap, I hope there is an option to mix the audio into the same output into mute the controller speaker.

 

 

Obviously you don't own a PS4. (Otherwise you would know that sound output is redirected to your headphones the moment you plug it in.)

 

Thank you smart arse. I DO own a PS4 and how the hell does the PS4 know when I plug my headphones into the TV?

[fefenc]

Let's think rationally here, some weeks ago, the steamdb stalkers from this forum spotted a huge activity from the testers. After the ss divulgations from the ng versions, they've slowed down a bit.

 

I'm sure that the ss with a lot of cars and peds came from pc because consoles wouldn't handle all that peds quantity.

[Kipsta]

Plot twist: It was actually the PC version.

Really and truly who cares.

 

More traffic = higher chance of crashing your car/more space being taken up on the roads which means speeding about isn't practical.

 

Not to mention that I thought the amount of traffic in the ps3/xb360 versions was perfect.

 

You lot aren't thinking about the gameplay.
