It wil be out this fall on PS4, XB1 and PC. May get a PS4 and play it on that instead, too many problems with it currently bc of hackers, modders etc. I'm hoping that I can still use my character on it though :/ would hate to start from scratch all over again lol

Does it work both ways, do you know? Can you make progress on the One version on GTA online and then carry on playing one the 360 version?

 

Actually since its just your Rockstar SC file that's moving around "the cloud", then it should be multi-lateral, no? I don't think it's an exclusive deal with Sony? So i'd say at least your basic stats can move back and forth, platform-exclusive content obviously not. But i don't know, just theorizing here.

Maximum 4GB VRAM :D

I still remember creating this text file and trying all of the combinations until one worked heh heh

 

So my 3rd gen i7 3630 and 2 gb GT-650 DDR5 is likely to prove ineffective?

They sound perfect for the job, note i said maximum 4GB..it was a joke at the expense of GTA IV on PC not working with graphics cards that had more than 2GB

Rockstar have messed up yet again. The 1.14 title update released today comes with a compatibility pack called
the "I'm Not A Hipster" Update. So I download and install the 1.14 title update, then download the compatibility
pack as prompted. Now every time I try go to GTA Online, I'm prompted to download the compatibility pack
again with the "One or more compatibility packs are required ... " alert even though it's already installed.

If I download it again, I'm alerted to the fact it's already installed, and if I press B to cancel, it instantly drops me
back to Story Mode. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 1.14 title update and the compatibility pack twice,
but the same thing keeps happening. Now I cannot play GTA Online at all, and I'm stuck with Story Mode.

After the disappointing let-down of Watch Dogs, I went back to GTA Online. Now I can't even do that!

must be your system, I got the update and haven't had any problems with the online

Here's a video of the issue I've just uploaded to YouTube ... apologies for the not very good picture quality!

 

 

 

Not liking the fact that you're having issues, but just showing my support - this type of thing is happening too often to too many people in gaming. The industry is almost 50 years old, this should not be so normative, even if it is understandable to a degree because software is so complex and we're all human

Let's not forget how many units ship for each release. It always amazes me that in manufacturing there's an allowance for manufacturing errors and bugs in the hardware but with games the devs are expected to get it right for everyone all the time.

 

I'm of course not talking about EA who i think have long surpassed their quota of #### ups for a lifetime.

What you say is logical, as each copy is distinct. However, i think the percentage/prevelance of issues is much wider in software than it is in hardware. Also, the allowance for hardware faults is one espoused by manufacturers themselves...not by users and consumers. No one likes a broken product, we accept them as reality because nothing in this universe is perfect and it's understandable that things don't work as expected.

 

EDIT: except beer, which is generally perfect :yes:

Modder makes console GTA 5 a first-person game

What would it be like to run and gun around Grand Theft Auto 5 with a first-person view? Modder XBLToothPik has found out.

With a modded Xbox 360, XBLToothPik used a script to alter the player's perspective in the game, and videoed the results.

 

 

 

It's a bit rough around the edges but the potential is there - particularly for the PC version coming this autumn. If XBLToothPik can get this up and running on Xbox 360, think of how quickly modders on PC could follow suit.

There's potential for virtual reality support this way, too.

I have an great idea for rockstar that they might consider it because wouldn't be great by combining GTA IV/V into a single game that will provide so much more excitement and interesting to the franchise.

 

In fact, update both graphical fidelity to a same level so it won't feel some sort of discrepancy and it's momentous changes in how we think of GTA again.

GTA V will require 50GB of space and will support Playstation Move

 

The highly anticipated Xbox One, PS4 and PC port of Grand Theft Auto V will require 50GB of hard drive space to install, according to an early Playstation Network listing. Apparently, the game will also feature support for the Playstation Move.

The PSN listing for the digital version of the game was spotted by some members of the GTA Forums, showing off a 50GB file size, much like other titles coming out on the new consoles, including The Last of Us: Remastered and PS4 launch title, Killzone Shadowfall. Such a large file size won?t be a problem for PC owners but the new consoles both feature slow 5400 RPM 500GB drives, which could cause slow loading times.

 

gtav_details09122014_005_86367-e14127675

 

Another interesting tidbit found on the digital listing is that the game will feature support for the Playstation Move wireless motion controllers. Rockstar hasn?t mentioned motion control support yet in any official capacity but it looks like its in the game. It will be interesting to see if the Xbox One version will feature any form of Kinect support.

Grand Theft Auto V will release on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 this November. The PC version of the game has been delayed until January 2015.

When the pc version is out I might have to consider buying a hard copy just to save on download times. Hopefully it's not just 1 dvd with a link to install their crappy rockstar social club software. :huh:

 

My internet isn't bad but it's nowhere near the best, 50gb will take roughly 18 hours straight downloading.

Well my connection is 8 meg down dsl. It's the best we can do unless we go with comcast, which is not really something I care to ever do.

 

For now anyways, google fiber is supposed to be making it's way to my area in the next few years.

New exclusive content announced for GTA V on PC, PS4 and Xbox One

 

Rockstar has revealed a list of exclusive items and missions/activities to be included in the long awaited PC, Xbox One and PS4 versions of Grand Theft Auto V, although this new content will only be available to returning players, meaning those of you who had the willpower to hold out for the PC version of the game will be getting the short end of the stick.

Those of you that couldn?t wait and originally played Grand Theft Auto V on the PS3 or Xbox 360, you?ll be getting new events and rewards, including new vehicles and weapons. Some of you may remember that Rockstar released LA Noire a few years back, it is now bringing that detective game experience to GTA V with a new murder mystery mission for Micheal, which will see him follow a trail of cryptic clues and eventually unlock some camera filters for those of you who want to nab screenshots in-game.

 

actual_1414503277.jpg

 

Other bits of content include a new wildlife photography challenge, stock car races and according to Rockstar, there will be much more. Obviously, PC players will have mods, so if you miss out on Rockstar?s own additional content, then you?ll still have community made addons to fall back on.

For those of you that did own Grand Theft Auto V on a console, you?ll be able to transfer your last gen character once to a new platform. Rockstar will be giving upgraders $1 million in-game cash, $500k for story mode and $500k for online mode to help you get started.

You can read Rockstar?s full list of additional content along with a short FAQ, HERE.

I feel like heists will be nex-gen exclusive.  It's been over a year.

 

Rockstar are pround to announce heists on GTA 5! .......

 

(PS4 and XBOXONE timed exclusives for 6 months.)

 

 

http://aretheheiststhereyet.com/

 

As much as I hate it I would probably shell out another $60 for this game, but with everyone I play with playing the PS3 version for years to come I see no reason to yet.

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
