GTA V Next-Gen Release Reaction Megathread

[Spider-Vice]

Let's keep it all in here given it's rolling out now starting in New Zealand. Please for the love of God avoid arguing with people just for the sake of arguing, use the Whine and Complain Topic for any heavy grievances you may have that you wanna discuss in peace without spoiling the fun for others and remember we have a GTA Online section for the GTAO bits you can discuss there.

 

Keep the forum rules in mind and don't instigate anyone who might like something you don't - there is a big difference between a constructive or insult-less opinion and just straight up calling people "consoomers", "shills", defenders", just because it doesn't fit a narrative. Read this post about it.

 

Yes, like every single Rockstar re-release there might be bugs even if it's mostly a technical "patch", and some of them were pretty bad if you go back to 2014 and 2015 in this GTA Wiki article, be patient. This has nothing to do with "modern Rockstar" and most times patches were released within the week.

 

Also remember this is supposed to be an upgrade for console users who have forever been doomed to slow GTA Online gameplay at down to 10 FPS and middle range graphics, this is, as advertised, PC graphics with extra bells and whistles on the new consoles, filling the topic with comparisons to PC is kind of pointless IMO.

 

tl;dr: Don't be a c*nt, let others have fun, criticise/disagree respectfully, otherwise please use the topic linked at the top to air major grievances.

 

Start.

The raytracing makes it look like a PS6 title I can't believe it.

Looks like a new intro intro video for GTAO. Migration feature is one of the first things you see upon bootup.

There's a whole new opening cinematic when launching into Online for the first time

I know you're being sarcastic like in all of your posts since you came back but GTA Online is always gonna take a ton of time to load into a public lobby due to match making.

They're not being serious. GTA Series just loaded onto GTA Online's character creator and it was pretty quick.

I wouldn't expect representative shots of RT until later today after the clips have been uploaded. All the livestreams have been HD so far.

[BS_BlackScout]

LMAO no intro? They just cut it?

[GamingKernDog]

Do you have to sign into social club to transfer a character? I go into online and my only option is to start a new one

[Spider-Vice]

Wish we could see the graphics modes though.

Edit: Whoa that motion blur tho lol, that's a lot more intense than the current version, almost looks like GTA IV.

Motion Blur

Maybe it's just me, but I hoped we'd see a PED and traffic boost even in Online with this update.

 

We're still in lockdown-Los Santos people.
