I found more annoying the lack of wind physics in the tree foliage. The difference with the ps360 version it's embarassing. The weird thing, it seems not affect the ground grass.

 

[spindashing]

I've actually never noticed. I will report back after work.

Did they not fix that yet?

 

[Opt1kon_]

i haven't experienced this at all

 

[Hugstable]

It's probably more the crappy deadzone you are noticing OP

 

[Uiki]

Nothing new for a rockstar title.

 

[Backfoggen]

4 frames of lag is not that much.

 

[benny_a]

Just anecdotal because I don't have the equipment to measure this but on my sub-20ms input lag HDTV I thought the game played fine for a GTA game.

Played through the whole game that way. I wouldn't say the input lag affected my enjoyment of the game in either direction.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Works perfectly for me but on Xbox One.


Lol at "GTA's low standards". It's one of the best controlling series still around.

 

[Wavering Radiant]

Seriously, what the fuck is this shit? (Note: The video is in slowmo, obviously).

I cannot play this. It's unplayable. Count it! FOUR frames of delay between my presses and the action that takes place on screen. GTAV on PS3 didn't have this bad of a lag. How is this acceptable? How has no one noticed this? How have reviewers not mentioned this? How is no one complaining about it and turning it into a Kotaku story for Rockstar to be ashamed of? It completely breaks the game for me. I can't drive cars properly, I can't be reactive, I can't aim right... It turns an otherwise incredible 9.5/10 game into an unplayable 5/10 broken disaster. Even all the ACU glitches and framedrops aren't as bad compared to input lag this terrible.

No offense, but when seemingly you're the only person having a technical issue, its often because you're the only person having the technical issue...


edit: could you maybe upload the video running at normal speed?

 

[Mafro]

It's really noticeable. GTA IV and RDR had the same problem on the 360 too.

 

[Metfanant]

Nothing stuck out for me as different than the PS3 version...nothing has changed about my setup

 

[idonteven]

played it on ps4 and xbox one and no lag

 

[omonimo]

Did they not fix that yet?

I don't know. They did? Never seen any declaration about this issue from R. Keep in mind they have announced wind physics for the waves of the oceans, but nope. Surprising no one complain that much about those issues, because they smell of stealth downgrade to me.

 

[Dragnet]

Chill out OP, stop being a drama queen! Looks like it's an issue not affecting everyone, I've not noticed anything either.

 

[Salaadin]

I think GTA controls pretty badly compared to other games out there. Its not horrible and its definitely good enough to work but "best controlling series"? Not in my opinion.


Anyways, I havent noticed any input lag on PS4. It feels pretty great actually.

What the fuck? Am I playing a different game to you? GTA C controls terribly...and this is coming from someone who regards it as one of my all time favourite games. It's clunky as fuck, Max Payne 3 felt much smoother and more precise to play.

To all of the people saying they aren't experiencing it, hold your controller up the light of your TV, flick the right analogue and you'll see that your screen only starts moving when the stick is almost back in its original position. Honestly, I don't know how anyone can't notice it.

 

[MercuryLS]

I do feel that the controls feels sluggish, more sluggish than most 30fps games.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Heh. I dunno about that one.

 

[Ingueferroque]

I don't notice any issues.. but I turned my sensitivity way up and changed the control schemes.

 

[omonimo]

Chill out OP, stop being a drama queen! Looks like it's an issue not affecting everyone, I've not noticed anything either.

If he has this problem, probably he though was common for eveyone. I don't blame him just for this.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Shitty deadzones, but no input lag.

 

[Woorloog]

What input lag?
It does not feel any different from 360 GTA V, once i adjusted the sensitivity down, just like with 360 version.

 

[Grexeno]

Honestly, I don't know how anyone can't notice it.

I don't know, maybe it's something unique to your setup.

 

[Summer Haze]

You should try Google searching this issue, or even searching for it on GAF. It's been brought up many times already. This isn't a one-off issue.

I don't know, maybe it's something unique to your setup.

It's not. Far Cry 4 felt perfect to play. Very responsive and smooth.

 

[FTF]

Haven't played either the PS4 or Xbone versions yet, but it's weird how much inconsistency there is in the answers so far. Getting the PS4 version soon, so hopefully it's not there (or noticeable) for me.

 

[Stereogatari]

Your HDD might be slow. I played through the whole story and never ever saw anything like this. Not once.

 

[kraspkibble]

can't say i've experienced this on ps4. if there is any lag then it's not noticeable to me and hasn't affected how i play or enjoy the game.

i have a 7200rpm hd, playing on a led panasonic and sometimes a samsung plasma.

 

[Lorcain]

It feels about the same as my PS3 version. I haven't seen input lag like the OP is describing. PS4 on plasma TV.

 

[Darknight]

Because its Rockstar. They get a pass. Guerilla Games got a lot of shit and made them actually patch the game to include fixes in. I wish the journalist would write about this so R* can get off their ass and fix this.

Though I feel they wont because of the forced auto-aim mechanics used in the game. (they can be disabled but then you are playing at a disadvantage)

Edit: Im talking about the deadzone. Its not as bad from like the video but aiming in general is really bad.

 

[Woorloog]

I wonder if some people think the animation-inertia is input lag in GTA V (and RDR and GTAIV)?
IMO GTA V is quite responsive game, unless i try something like a quick turn from full sprint... but then it does aim for realism (no comment whether that's good or bad).

 

[TheAdmiester]

(they can be disabled but then you are playing at a disadvantage)

How is this in any way true? On multiplayer, disabling auto aim means you can only play with others who have done the same thing, levelling the playing field just fine.

On singleplayer, you're only up against AI anyway so it's skill dependent.

 

[AegisScott]

I heard other people complaining about it, but it runs just fine on our PS4 at work. No input lag at all.

 

[Nizz]

There isn't a deadzone so much as the rate of acceleration curve is absurd. It's unbelievably slow right around the center area of a stick, until suddenly it's not and it's too fast. The slowest speed needs to be a bit faster, and the curve needs to be smoother instead of so dramatic.

Uggh, I really hate that. I know exactly what you're talking about. Far Cry 2 back on PS3 had that same issue as did Killzone 2 and Battlefield 3 (before Dice finally fixed them). Controls that feel that way really sour my enjoyment of games.

Glad I haven't picked up GTAV yet since this would frustrate me.

 

[cormack12]

You botice how bad are the controls on shooting gallery impossible to aim.

This is the easiest way to see the difference. I wouldn't call it lag per se, but it's definitely 'weightier' and more 'janky' than GTA V on PS3.

It was relatively easy to pick up the golds on the PS3 but on the PS4 the aiming is stuttery and a bit inconsistent when flicking or moving the thumbstick across targets.

It' not a huge deal but there's definitely a difference.

TV in 'game mode', only play in third person as well.

 

[GodofWine]

Is the issue because of the fact that even though you are playing in first person, the game still moves like a third person game in that you control a person who is holding a gun, and their body moves before their arms do.

In most FPSs you are just a magical floating weightless crosshair, and your inputs only move it, and not you players actual body


I play this in third person, and don't have much issue with the controls.
??

 

[CozMick]

No problems for me.

Sony W7 in game mode.

 

[Darknight]

How is this in any way true? On multiplayer, disabling auto aim means you can only play with others who have done the same thing, levelling the playing field just fine.

On singleplayer, you're only up against AI anyway so it's skill dependent.

Enemy AI tends to have almost perfect aim on you at all times. Im sure they use the same auto-aim method as you. I would never try to use free aim on SP because its shit aim controls. (deadzone) I guess you could force it online but I dont play that often there.

It's not terrible in GTAV since you can use the lock on system for aiming, but if the controls were better you wouldn't have to rely on that and could instead just use free-aim (and make the 1st person mode feel more natural).

 

[boredandlazy]

It's definitely deadzone. I can move the stick a little and nothing will happen, ever. Until I move it a little bit further and finally aiming kicks in. It's really annoying and makes first person mode a bit of a chore to play in when it comes to shootouts.

Edit: And it's definitely not input lag.

 

[Always-honest]

I did think the control inputs were a bit slugish. But i thought it was meant that way or something.. Like with Killzone, if you know what i mean.

Faar from unplayable in my case by the way.

 

[MastaKilla]

Playing on ps4 and no input lag here. Works perfect for me.

 

[Skyzard]

Ah no clue myself, I heard it was a bug and haven't heard much on it recently, I assumed it got fixed.

Probably just blew over.

??

No third-person game I've ever played has had noticeable input-lag for me. I really don't think that's it.

I also didn't notice it anywhere near as much on the PS3 version.

 

[DavidDesu]

There is absolutely a huge controller dead zone for this game on the PS4. I haven't played it nearly as much as I would've liked simply because of this issue.

YES! I think the OP might mean this, maybe..

This dead zone and generally untraditional analogue calibration really ruined the game for me. I couldn't wait to play it in first person, but it's just broken for me. Impossible to simply look where I want to look, it just barely moves then jerks way past. If Rockstar can just give us linear analogue control, so the FP camera controls like in a typical FPS like Destiny then all my problems will be solved. I've barely played this since launch either as a result of this. A really big problem that cannot be underestimated or brushed under the carpet.

 

[sti4thewin]

Is this your first rockstar game?

 

[Summer Haze]

That's exactly how GTA V feels for me. You hit the nail on the head. It feels like how Killzone 3 felt. Heavy, clunky, and unresponsive. Playing BF4 and Far Cry 4 which both feel great to play, then playing GTA V, only made me notice it even more.

 

[ViciousDS]

Tried it launch week and buddy even mentioned something about it....i just thought it was the tv until i realized everything to bring the input response under 20 ms was on.....and there are no issues for cod, and other games. It's just gta that has an issue

 

[Wavering Radiant]

Oh my bad, it sounded like no one else had noticed it. That sucks

Well that explaines why I never had a problem with the lag, since I love Killzone (2) and how it controls xD

 

[| Praxis |]

Are people on about first person only or third? Because as I said, in third person it feels just the same as last gen. I agree though that the first person shooting is pretty shit, I have given up using it for combat.
