A prediction – Even though it’s not the same engine or code, or anything else, everyone with a crappy PC and 1/2 a brain will try to turn the settings all the way up. It will skip and jump, and not look great on their bargain PC or what was an expensive but 4 year old system. Or they will refuse to get a new graphics card. Then they, like parrots will do, claim it’s a bad port, even if it’s not. Smart people will know whether it truly is good or not. But the less than smart ones are the same ones who would do something dumb like that.

Bottom line. Look at it. It should look at least as good as first gen Xbox or PS3 on a computer that’s only a few years old. If it does, there should be no complaints. What? You want it to look way better than the consoles, with HD or better, maxed out, eye candy, high fps, stereo vision etc? Well then you are going to have to pay for it by having an up to date PC and graphics card then. If you don’t bother to do that, don’t bother to open your mouth to complain. What annoys me, is I feel like I am predicting a firestorm of idiots and people who leave one star reviews on Amazon due to not understanding things. I hope it doesn’t come to that. Put it this way. I had GTA 4, and running on a three year old system the day it came out, it ran great! Yet everywhere I went I kept hearing, OMG, it’s so slow! Again, if you get 30fps and it’s LOCKED, it will not skip or jump and be smooth on a good graphics card.

If you don’t get good performance, find out what people who get good performance are using and upgrade your system. I suspect this game will run pretty smooth on computers that are four years old and newer. Also make sure your gfx card and motherboard aren’t so weird, unpopular rig. Or lesser known gfx card. Go with what is popular and you will be rewarded. You just may not get to turn up every bit of eye candy so that it looks way better than the consoles, especially new ones if your system is several years old. Again, that is still possible. But if you want it, you will have to pay for a great PC. Otherwise, enjoy it for what it is and that it will at least likely be better than gen 1 on your older system. Me, I’ll be playing on a 2014 system.

Understandable complaint but in October tons of awesome games are coming out and going by the massive sales numbers most gamers already own GTA 5. So why release it at the same time as tons of other games. Then people like myself who already own it have to decide on playing GTA again with better graphics or getting an entirely new game we have never played before.

Don’t care. My favorite Xbox One game is Super Time Force. It’s 8-bit graphics but it’s brilliant. That’s how much I care about eye candy. No real gamer would.

thats because there is no eye candy on xbox

Blah blah blah! Some of us just got the PS4 and held back on buying the GTA V on older consoles cos of the poorer graphics and performance. I for one is anticipating the imminent release of the game this fall. Pushing the release date further will only kill me cos there’s barely any decent game on the PS4 atm.

I’m not interested in eye candy. Just gameplay and user experience. “Xbox, record that.” Boom.

rofl

you can keep your online play im not interested in it, the actual game will be amazingly beautiful on PC youll prolly get 900p 30 fps and downgraded visuals with 3 ppl on the streets on your xbox
