GTA 5 PC gets 4k support and first person mode

 

FqKWNxGktH6R.878x0.Z-Z96KYq.jpg

 

The PC iteration will be the most visually impressive version of GTA 5, according to CVG's latest hands-on account. GTA 5 will run at 4K resolution on PC, and all 'next gen' versions of the game will include a fully-supported first person mode, complete with modeled car interiors and proper first-person shooting.

As Dan mentions in his preview, "It's not just a case of plonking a new camera within a character's head, just because they could, but an extensive rework of the game's movement, driving and targeting engines. There are thousands of new animations for gun reloading alone, no to mention the first-person views of parachuting, carjacking etc."

First-person extends to GTA's sandbox online mode, which creates space for proper FPS modes within GTA. Multiplayer heists?a long awaited feature for console players?are also nearing completion.

There are also 20 new forms of wildlife, including cats, which CVG confirm can be killed (the MONSTERS). The soundtrack includes 100 extra tracks including something from The Backstreet Boys. There's a luscious new lighting engine and extra detail everywhere, as you'd expect from a version of the game unshackled by Xbox 360 and PS3 hardware. Also, you can one-shot trucks with the new rail gun.

Sign up to social club if you haven't already. I assume that's how they will be bringing everything over, Just my guess anyway. Could be wrong but.

A brand new report has surfaced online claiming that Grand Theft Auto 5 for the PC platform uses an additional digital rights management (DRM) system called Denuvo, the same one used by recent games like Lords of the Fallen or FIFA 15, besides the standard Steam protection that's offered by Valve.

Should transfer over regardless. But it's always good to have a RSSC account!

Secret Drugs Do Surprising Things In The New GTA V 
 

fkqmtuqbptquvdvxlr36.png

 

The new versions of GTA V on the PS4 and Xbox One hide some things you haven't seen before, even if you've played the last-gen versions of the game. And some of this stuff can be a little...wacky.

If you don't want to be spoiled on this secret, I suggest you stop reading now!

 

OK. Ready? Here we go.

 

As taltigolt documents in this video, the new versions of GTA feature Peyote plants that players can collect. If you find one, your character will eat it?and then they'll trip out and think they've transformed into a chicken. Which means that you get to play as a chicken, albeit temporarily, in the new versions of GTA V. It's really funny:

 

My favorite part when Franklin starts arguing with himself about being a chicken. And while it doesn't look like you'll be able to do too much as a chicken, it's still amusing:

Ha.

 

UPDATE: It's not just chickens! You can turn into many different animals, like seagulls, as this video by NoahJ456 shows:

 

And as a seagull, you can poop while flying. I'm now awaiting a montage of people pooping on the citizens of GTA V.

Is anyone on the Xbox One version having issues with GTA Online after today's patch?  I keep getting disconnected with a message saying I lost my connection to Xbox Live, but I'm still connected to Xbox Live.  This is getting really annoying.  GTA Online was already buggy enough, now I can't even stay connected.  I didn't have this problem yesterday when I was playing before the new patch went out.

Oh man this looks great, better than GTAIV. Not sure if it'll be as fun as Saints Row IV though. Makes me wish I could afford to upgrade as I'm still stuck with a first gen i7 @ 3.8Ghz and sli'd GTX 460's. I can run Dead Rising 3 fine on medium @ 1080p resolution and hope this runs similar. I could run at higher settings in Dead Rising 3 if it properly supported sli so I hope GTAV will support sli and crossfire.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
