It's not though, other than the sun potentially being moved of course. This is gonna be a long day of people finally remembering to post high quality screens...

Can't wait for the comparison

There it is

The shadows and overall AO definitely look different. It is subtle in certain conditions but better visible in others. Looking forward to the sunset on GSV's stream.

Seems to be shadows and AO only as expected for ray tracing, at least in Performance RT mode which GTA Series switched to.

lol we needed RT reflection wtf C*

Rockstar is having a losing streak right now. GTA sh*t trilogy, GTA V for the 4th time released with virtually no changes... It used to be my favorite developer, today ... Today it is worse than Ubisoft, because this ubi released games.

Honestly I think as a port its a good release with RTX and they are not charging 70$ for it. ps they did not overhype this at all, ffs they have not even released a proper trailer for it

[Claude_Lib]

It just makes it obvious that the only reason why PS4/XOne versions looked better than PS3/X360 was because current gen was the main version, then downgraded for last gen. Upgrading, on the other hand, is impossible for them even if their life depends on it.

Oh i didn't thought about that, it's New Zealand time zone. Well i will be dissapointed anyway as a PC player. It doesn't look good for PC. If the new vehicles stay exclusive for consoles only, R* deserves nothing but a middlefinger.

[needforsuv]

um...

R* be taking the piss here or...

[BS_BlackScout]

Does the Turbo sound different or is it just me?

May not just be you. The garage door noise has also been changed.

 

EDIT: Yup, watching GTA Series Videos and the turbo sound is definitely new.

Seems like for the most part it's a image quality boost through a resolution boost + raising some graphic settings across the board. plus the option of 60fps of course.

 

It doesn't look like a mind blowing improvement from what I've seen so far but expect it's one of those where after a few days of E&E if you went back to the last-gen version you'd be notice the difference.

 

Interested to see what DF cooks up for it.

I've seen some differences to the PC version even in Performance RT mode (which is what GTA Series are using atm), we're gonna have to wait for actual high quality screenshots and video, not live streams. I could never ever see RT reflections for vehicles as said in the other topic, they wouldn't be able to do native 4K30.

 

Again, this is an upgrade for console players, PC players already have most of this except a few things.

[GameBunny77]

OK where the screenshots and video of the new version comparing to the old version? It's already half an hour past since 12:00 AM in NZ. Damn.

Oh god  It's just the default GTA V OG reflections, but only set to 1000% or so. It only draws the map without props/npc's etc. Looked realistic and nice back then on 1080p TV's, but in the age of 4K and RT it's just messy.

[BS_BlackScout]

Cool!

[Guest]

Lets face it, they are either saving something for Gta 6 or maybe they will disappoint us with it.

 

You have your remasters here but who am I to kid, I will take faster loading, Vulkan api and maybe some little fixes.

 

Otherwise I still love 4 and 5 very much.

 

Enjoy guys, if this was reachable for me, I would have bought it too on Ps5 since I also played games on many consoles and owned Ps2 till 2009.

Why do they call it RT if it's obviously cubemap?

Raytracing is not just reflections, and they never claimed they did RT reflections as far as I know?

 

It sounds like the RT in the game is shadows as many predicted.

Do you think Rockstar at least tried to improve  textures of our  characters? This is major reason why I was  slightly interested in "new gen" GTA 5

Of course there is RT, I have successfully extracted the implementation of raytracing straight from the game files:

 

public void enableRT() {

   // LOL

}

 

Well played R*, well played.

I mean, ok, it could be used to spam money with save scumming, but then just don't let chips convert to money payouts. Have it as a side activity. Hell, add a few trophies. Man oh man.

They didn't from what it looks like, unless some of the console textures were lower quality than PC version, then it should be on-pair now

 

There's only limited amount of clothes that have good quality textures, such as sweaters from Ill Gotten Gains DLC

And to be honest, so it should be given the timelines of story mode to GTAO.

If they changed people would be like:
"BUT THE CASINO DIDNT LOOK LIKE THAT IN 2013, ROCKSTAR BAD NO NO"

 

Really, come on. This was never going to be changed.

Raytracing to nie tylko odbicia i nigdy nie twierdzili, że zrobili odbicia RT, o ile wiem?

 

Wygląda na to, że RT w grze to cienie, jak wielu przewidywało.

Rockstar LMAO. Since RDR2's release, they've become a terrible studio.
