Looked 30 to me. But I believe its not locked down the FPS yet.
considering the visuals I'll be shocked if its 60 at launch but Im not confirming anything.
Any word on a new photo mode? We can DREAM!
Yeah. The smartphone stuff was great for the highlighting the whole selfies trend, but not ideal for really good shots. An inFamous/The Last of Us Remastered-esque photo mode would be best.

Rockstar mentioned improved LoD streaming, and greater draw distances, which you stated specifically. Did you notice any pop-in/fade-in, and was it very apparent or did you have to actively search for it while watching? Thanks again for taking questions!
That would be so utterly perfect- Snapmatic uploads would be so glorious in hi-def! On the fly photos!

Thats really all Ive got on impressions guys sorry I don't have more.
Considering how much they showed I think a new trailer / release date are coming shortly but haven't had confirmation of that. It appeared to me though they were gearing up for a big reveal.

Goodness, thanks for every single word.
Brought the hype and imagination all back!
Bring the wonder!

Fucking Rockstar starving us! Jesus. I was so starved for GTA V when I finally got it on launch day I played for six hours non-stop, which for me is unheard of! I still play it daily!

I think the potential for such big improvements is precisely why I don't mind if it releases this year or next.
GTA V is the only game I've really played much for the last year, and even yet tonight and for the foreseeable future, is the only game I'm regularly playing. It's sort of become my staple go-to game, and probably will remain the go-to open world (non-fantasy) game for at least a couple years. So, if they want to take an extra 3 or 6 months to make it even better, I don't mind, because the more time they spend on it, the more I'll get out of in next year and the year after that.
If I think back to my favorite games, like Final Fantasy Tactics or Deus Ex, and I really ask myself, would I accept a 1 year delay, in hindsight, so the game has even more content? It'd be pretty easy to say 'yes' once you consider you may play the game for 5 or 10 years. Granted, GTA V is not that game for everyone, nor was FFT or DE. But it is for me, and I've already beat it 8 times in just 1 year. So, if they as far as I'm concerned, take as long as you want to make it better. Every extra month is just an extra month of content.
I've no real interest in even seeing a new setting for GTA VI. I like the setting, art, and cast enough of V that I wish they'd just keep expanding and adding to San Andreas, both single-player stories and as online game. That's likely not the concensus of GTA consumers, which is totally fair, but it's how I feel at least. I think the world of GTA V is that good.

I was always holding off for a PC or PS4 release. I usually only play through a GTA once so I was going to do it right the first time. There have been so many other games to play since it came out I haven't even really been bothered by it. I hope this drops in November.

Good I got the impression it was still this year. It basically looked finished from what I saw.
What the FUCK?! How did he manage to do such things with the jet?!

I missed GTA:V last year since I could no longer carry from PS3 from one city to another. Can't wait to experience it for the first time in glorious 1080p on PS4!

I first saw that video on gtaforums a while ago. But gamspot posted about it recently

It could even be a totally new cast and a totally new setting for the story itself. Imagine if they took GTA V's map and just expanded it a la GTA SA, and adding either San Ferrio or Las Venturas. This was made by a fan but imagine if the next 2 GTAs were just adding those 2 other cities with their own unique stories -- full GTA stories and productions but based on the GTA V assets rather than starting from scratch. I hard to really get the 'GTA World' we all want when they start from scratch every year. The GTA world I think we want would take them 7-8 years to make, so when not use GTA V assets and then build onto its borders and add far more content within it.
They could just add Las Venturas onto Blaine County, doubling the map in size, and then set the new story in LV. They don't even have to really visit Los Santos or feature M, T, and F (though I'm sure there would be cameos). They could have a pretty unique and different story, feel, and setting, but when you're done the story, now you have both LS and LV to free-roam in. Instead of starting from scratch, just keep building on those map as if it were a MMO -- more interiors, more stories, more properties, and just more 'stuff.' The map of GTA V is pretty incredible in terms of art but lacks content and gameplay, and seems a waste to just throw it a way. And truthfully, I'd be OK with returning protagonists for a first time, too, just as you are. But even if they wanted a new setting and cast, they could do that by building on V. Imagine Los Venturas in 2 years and San Ferrio in 4 years, maybe a more classic mafia storyline in LV and perhaps even smuggling/Triads in SF. Point is, a lot of ways they could use GTA V assets and get more mileage out of them.
Not everyone will agree of course and I can totally understand folks wanting a new Vice City from scratch instead, too. Just saying what I personally would like; not necessarily what's best for Rockstar or it's general fan base.

Sounds great. Thanks Shogun.
But if they push current gen consoles so far I fear the PC version will run bad. I don't want another DR3.

Can't wait for the PC mods! Just remember what GTA 4 looked like with them:

Are they employees or were they at the public expo?

They confused it with a playable demo, but said the presentation was only 15mins for GTA 5.

Either Sony or MS should launch a bundle with this game. It would sell a lot...

No it wasn't playable as I said it was mostly Rockstar in debug mode showing us the actual game. As I said it was mostly environmental stuff.
For sure was longer than 15 minutes though.
