Titanium is now tinted on some cars

the underside of cars is now also a lot more detailed. they updated the entire generic detail texture and even upscaled it from 1024x1024 to 2048x2048 with the update on tuesday

wasn't it already well-established that fonteno (and luke for that matter) like to post random out of context gta stuff that seemingly hypes people up for something only for it to be absolutely nothing? it'll be a big surprise to me if that has anything to do with the next dlc.

yeah but this feels different, does it not? I mean he even says he's got work to do

[Jason Frost]

Maybe it's a Cluckin' Bell Heist?

work is not exclusive to rockstar. guy has a personal life and personal friends. for all we know he could be working on a skit with slink johnson where they meme big smoke's order, which also took place at cluckin' bell.

also while doing the time trial today, I noticed the traffic spawning being MUCH lazier than it used to be, like it's noticable the cars pop in with a pariah on pc

 

The traffic on PS5 was behaving weirdly nice with no spawns out to ram me....

Wait, so there were actually texture changes? Interesting, so I suppose that means a few more "E&E" things were synced with the current PC build.

Yep lol. When I posted it yesterday I was mostly joking. They wouldn't be teasing it out like this, most likely.

yep, they've also updated

• vehicle_generic_alloy_silver_spec (used for paint flake): increased resolution from 256x256 to 512x512
• vehicle_generic_burnt_int (used for burn overlay on car interiors): remastered and increased resolution from 512x512 to 1024x1024
• vehicle_generic_burnt_out (used for burn overlay on car exteriors): remastered and increased resolution from 512x512 to 1024x1024
• vehicle_generic_carbon (used for carbon bits): remastered and increased resolution from 128x128 to 512x512

quite surprising considering that until now they've never touched those on gen8 at least, but i definitely welcome the changes. especially the increased resolutions on the detail2 textures as the game was very much in need of that, they looked so low quality on pc before with that 1k res

Carbon seemed fine to me before this but ok. Good thing out of this is that they are preparing for release on PC which is imminent otherwise i doubt they would bother with upping textures, but then again it's R* so you never know. Are these upgraded textures now on par with E&E consoles release?

Well, same thing that they bother do add those tuners liveries but never released until now. I don't bet in a PC release until Summer DLC or the at the very least the end of GTA+ bonus/Sony exclusivity.

[Arrows to Athens]

There are way too many God mode twats now. Almost all of them are on their Mk2 going around taking everyone out. Looks like I'll be taking another break from this mess of a game. 

[DrEeveell]

Argh.

I don't have a Nightclub yet, so I've been telling myself I'll buy a Nightclub next time it's on sale.

I only have the "free" Bunker in Paleto Forest which isn't in that great of a spot, so I've been telling myself I'll move to a new one next time they're on sale.

I just have the "free" Counterfeit Cash MC business, so I've been telling myself I should buy a Cocaine lockup next time MC Businesseses are on sale.

 

Guess what's all on sale this week, that I only have enough cash on hand to buy one of?

 

Oh yeah, I forgot. Arcades are on sale this week too, and I've been thinking about relocating mine.

Well this didn't age well

 

[Spider-Vice]

I think that may have been referring to future content, as in like "stay tuned as we'll also be talking about special items from the next update", but not necessarily after April 25th.  They did let that slip though so we know to expect a GTAO update somewhere soon(tm)

From how it's shown it seems that there were to be some special items from the next update included as some of the GTA+ benefits for this month but seeing as how R* removed that announcement shortly after putting it up, it was probably a mistake and this wasn't actually supposed to happen

[smurfynz]

Or, since this GTA+ period runs until June 1st, there could still be some pre-DLC content made available early to GTA+ members towards the end of the period later in May before a June DLC is released for all.

The benefits for each month of GTA+ don't change until that month ends. I was thinking we'd get our summer update in June this time based on that deleted April 25 announcement but now I think it'll be the usual July timeframe. They'll use June for bringing current gen GTA V to PC and marketing it during that month.

the top generic engine and other textures in the top/right looks worse updated


big square light is also worse along with the generic warnings.

basically most things that only went through an upscale filter and wasn't updated

good thing about increasing texture resolution on a select few things, it doesn't really impact FPS even on lower end stuff.

You only get issues with like 4k+ textures everywhere, but if they made liveries more detailed, that'd be nice

Nightclub income on PC has now been altered to Next-gen levels

 

 

It wasn't like this yesterday.

[EkaSwede]

I dunno what the heck's going on but every time I try to save the LS Custom Overalls to an outfit it disappears! Don't tell me that outfit's a blacklisted clothing GO DA MIT!

i dunno, still looks a bit off.

50k is normal full.

[Insoluble Fiber]

It's 50k ladies and gentlemen! 

Finally PC gets this!

Seems like they are progressively adding stuff to match next gen..but rather quick?!

Soon?

Edit
BIKER BIZ ALSO UPDATED

THEY updated it, SWEET!

 

So far it seems like the missed things were just accidental, maybe they forgot to update value x or grabbed an older version forgetting there were updates after that.

after checking, it appears that r* did adjust the texture slightly between gen7 and gen8, but the differences are minuscule compared to the transition from gen8 to gen9

 

however the texture itself goes even further back. that texture actually originated in IV, from 2008, while it received a bunch of changes between IV and V it's still more or less the same thing

seems like they just remastered it or found the original higher res version and maybe added some levels/curves/image tweaks

 

though the gen 8 strut tower and wheels seems to be already upscaled at that res. maybe those details had only been rendered to fit the 512 version when they made the 1024 'master'

I mean, I don't know about you, but when I make textures or raster files, I always try to get the highest res I can so I don't have to downscale the highest detail parts, then if need be, throw pixels away to make things work for later or whatever

 

Also, I don't think the HSW modshop parts/levels for existing vehicles is in the pc release just yet, the engine, etc, all have the original levels, BUT the g9 carcols is legit I think.

Edited April 29, 2022 by needforsuv

[Spider-Vice]

They basically synced some of the vehicle shared textures from E&E which is nice to see. More food for the theory they're bringing it over to PC, really.

Wait, so... they're giving PC 50K nightclub earnings now? But our Safe can only hold 210K (when was it reduced from 250K?) so we're back at square one with having to run back all the time to empty the safe! ARGH!

 

Yes, I'm complainign about making too much money. We need to make the nightclub safe bigger again.

Are you getting English Dave calls every time you change session as CEO? That's another 9G umm benefit. Makes it not worth bothering at all.
