Really hope they do a better job with this game than GTA IV regarding optimizations on PC.

Yep, it gives me an additional 15 players to torment when I jump the fence at the military base and steal a fighter jet.

I know you can still get a taxi ride, we were referring to the first person view that was available in Gta 4.

Though unlike Ubisoft, the PC version is going to have additional features not found in the console versions.

You think GTA needs help attracting casual gamers? It's the 3rd biggest selling franchise of all time, and GTAV is the 6th best selling game of all time, and it came out just over a year ago.
Full rooms outside of free roam or a couple of races or grind missions are a rarity. I stopped playing in the Spring, but it was almost impossible to get anybody to play any mode outside of free roam... You could leave your party open for an hour and not get a single person to connect. There was basically no matchmaking in the game, it really ruined online unless all you wanted to do was free roam.
I always wanted to play something like capture the bag, cops/crooks, etc., but you could just never get players and once you did get players, they'd end up voting in a high money race like "The Commute" over and over.
I'd love it, but it'll be tough to do another retro soundtrack for a GTA game. Nobody will give their permissions to the game without a huge payout. GTA:VC and SA Were released at the perfect time when everybody under estimated the amount of money that videogames could make. Ray Liotta famously was really snarky about his appearance in Vice City, and later said that if he knew how big the games were he would have demanded more money. I think it's part of why R* has such a tough time putting together recognizable songs and hiring known actors for voice talent, they see GTAV selling 35m copies in a few months and demand a huge payout.

TLOUR is my favorite PS4 purchase yet. And the second time I've bought and played that game at launch.

They did add a matchmaking like feature with the "On Call" setting. Pretty much you can log into a freeroam room and queue up for any gametype while still playing. When a match is found it will then move your over.

Interesting... Does it actually work to get you into full-ish rooms of modes other than grinding modes (eg "Bomb da base", "Rooftop Rumble", and "the Commute") over and over again?
When I stopped playing in the spring, it was basically impossible to play with other people in anything other than grinding missions.
Can people stop quoting (and quite evidently misunderstanding) that please? I still stand by it, but it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. The argument was about GTAV at 60fps. Someone said that GTAV couldn't look any better at 60fps than it does on PS3 and 360, which I don't think is the case.

The map editors helped a bit... Sort of. In some ways it could hurt because now there are more maps but especially when player maps because highlighted or popular, it seems to make inject a bit of life into it. New-gen version will help a lot too because loading times will be faster, and I think maybe the biggest problem of all for mode rooms is just how troublesome it is to wait, load, try fill up, load, etc over and over. If new-gen loading times can be lightning fast, this will help a tonne.

People claim that there was an edited post on the official Rockstar site that initially listed a first person mode (driving and on foot).
I expect, at the very most, one launch trailer about a week before it'll be released. Again, it's just a remaster of a game the majority of us already played, so I don't expect there to be much more media on this game before release besides some previews before release or something.

I gave R* a bunch of shit for the 16 player limit in lobbies but after playing so much online, I think 30 may just be a mess. It's already very easy to get into modes and games and since you are so rarely doing these things with the other people in the lobby, the extra players are just going to be possibly too much chaos.
When you get into game with high ranked players are and just getting battered by tanks and copters all the time, it's going to be a pain in the ass.
Also, way more opportunities to get label a bad sport because you aren't allowed to actually take out owned cars : (
Still the worse part of the online.

Anyone play arma 3 life or any of the life/RP mods on on the PC?
THAT IS WHAT I expected from GTA online, open world game were anything is possible, from having to get a weapon/driving licence, able to process drugs and sell them, proper interaction with other players, become a cop if you want to, rob banks ( yea yea heists, but they aint here yet) and proper legit jobs to make money in game, both legal and illegal.
R* put way too much focus on missions and not enough on making the online free roam a proper mode in its self.
I kinda wish super cars, even the lower ones, were a lot more expensive, the best parts of gta online was when everyone was starting out and had low tier cars, especially when the military crap was not in ( when no one made enough to buy them anyway)
Also while I do use it, I wish bullet proof tyres were not in, makes it less fun
Really I just want online free roam to be a lot more fleshed out with proper modes within it ( by modes I mean little jobs, like drug trafficking, proper hitman missions, delivery missions, being able to be what you want and so on)
Hoping this is the future of GTA online and that is what it will become.

What will define for me if Im gonna buy this again for XB1/PS4 is exactly the online features. I wanna know if theyre looking for solution for the many problems GTA Online had. Bad sports, loading times and glitches are the main problems for me.
GTA V for PS3/360 officially went gold on August 25 2013, 23 days before its release date on September 17, FYI.
Some context.

Where did you get that from? Rockstar has said nothing about the PC version getting extra features.

Was actually considering getting a PS4 for the remaster but honestly after playing several multiplats that still perform admirably on my aging PC I think I'll hold off and see how that version performs. Will probably look and run better on PS4 what with optimization but still wanna see how PC scales first.
I wouldn't hold your breath. GTA4 is still a bad port regardless of what some people want to say. Max Payne 3 was a good port yes, but also a super linear TPS. I'm definitely taking a wait and see approach with the PC port since I get anywhere from 40-90fps on the ugly no-AA GTA4 port.

Wow, what a awesome feature. I'm glad I have to wait even longer for a video editor. /s
Is that really it? That's nothing really.
Are you serious? Just because you can't utilize it this feature is nothing?
For me this is even better than some high-res textures or stuff like that.
Can't wait to cut some awesome GTAV videos.

I'd like to see a summer of love era San Fierro.
Great music in many different genres, drugs, Hippies, Black Panthers and other assorted liberation movements, (including slightly later stuff like Patty Hearst,) along with Ronald Reagan as the cherry on top.
So much potential.
Well the usual stuff like more time to optimise, will obviously get better settings in general on the PC ( if your hardware is capable) and such.
The mods will make it worth it though..

I believe this video editor may give choice to record at different angles and apply some filters. But thats really not a big deal since XB1 and PS4 can record any game aswell. Not saying its not a decent feature though, just not enough to justify the delay.

So if the feature doesn't benefit you personally, it's not a real feature at all? Lol. Okay.
Its a pretty sweet feature, I agree. Gonna be some great stuff to come from it.
the game has already been send to sony for QA. basically the game is finished. Else sony wouldn't had leaked that the game is almost 50gb big
Your fanboy is showing.
You can probably safely add custom radio, a feature that has been in every 3D Gta and if missing would be a big bummer for a lot of people so i doubt it's excluded from this PC release.
still not buying it R*, fuck your delay

here here good chap
I would kill for gta online to be like the arma 3 life mods. A real living world with a real user economy and everything. Like hunting being a viable option to have as a job, selling drugs, being a police officer and chasing down people speeding and whatnot.
That way everyone can be any role they want. Not just a thug.
Ah lovely, this guy is back. What a poor attempt at being subtle.
I think with the success of stuff like Drive, a return to the 80s is highly likely. But I felt that way before V came out. For all we know, the next one could be set in the 70s. Or GTA could be a 'modern time' only thing from now on and new titles like LA Noire and Red Dead will be the norm whenever they decide to visit a different decade.
I'd like to see a new city next, that much is for sure.

Apart from those that don't work well at all with the latest version of Windows
What? Nearly all modern PC games will work on all versions of Windows from XP to 8.1.

That isn't my experience. Most big titles now do not work on windows xp.
Because of DX10 / 11 which are not supported on XP.
Though most of those games are supported on 3 different operating systems, Vista / 7 / 8/8.1.
Tampa is like the porno capital of the east coast. I had a couple high school classmates drop out and go to Tampa to make it big...

I went to Tampa a few times but never really explored it, they had quite a few seedy strip clubs too to go along with it
Certainly a big part of it yes for actors and music licensing, hell even the unknowns or lesser known people they've had involved have done the same thing complaining how much they were paid after they found out how much the games made and along the money thing there's scheduling issues when it comes to using well known actors and the amount of work and time involved with multiple dates for it all to be done.

1) Wouldn't using a move controller as a gun also require first person in game to sight down the barrel? Does one require the other and confirm what's coming?
2) The camera and Move can use the Xtensa DPU removing that overhead from the game.
3) Is AA being done with the GPU or the Xtensa DPU?

GTA will never be in Tampa. It is a generic, boring Florida city with no history, no culture, and nothing that makes it unique other than the Tampa Bay bridge. It'd be like ... GTA: Topeka or GTA: Milwaukee (No offense to any Milwaukeeans)
There's only a handful of new cities (in the US) that I think would be worth it to explore for Rockstar: New Orleans, Washington DC, perhaps Chicago. The problem with Chicago is that from a game perspective, it's too much like New York City, and you can say that about almost every city in either the North or the East of the US. I even think that DC is a stretch. Aside from Miami, for Southern, American cities, they are limited with choice. Honestly, I think that GTA could exist on one enormous game world of San Andreas, Liberty City, and Vice City, and pretty much leave it at that... Maybe pepper in Las Venturas and San Fierro, and maybe one or two small locales.
While the incredibly slow loading time didn't help, I think the real reason no games filled up is because for months after release, the only way to play a game was to invite people from your lobby (free roam) into the game, which was horrible, and then if people were invited and nobody joined it prevented other "Quick Game" people from joining your game because those spots would be reserved for the lobby invites.
One of the worst online systems ever released for a major game.
The grind fest that Rockstar encouraged also wasn't good. Things like having to pay auto-insurance if someone destroys your car, getting fined 5% of your total cash every time you died, not being able to select missions to play them but instead waiting around until a random NPC assigns you a mission, having almost all missions be locked until you reached a certain level, and so on, were horrible, poorly thought out decisions... But the lack of a proper matchmaking, eg, I get my mates into a room, you get your mates into a room, and then the game matches us up into a play mode, is what made the online so horrible.
