Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V4 - 3 and 1/2 Years in the Making: GTA V PC - Games

PC Gamer has updated their "all you need to know" info page [url]http://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-pc-everything-you-need-to-know/[/url] It says March 26, but that just when it was originally posted.

So in GTAO, do you HAVE to buy your PV? Or can you steal something, chop it up and call it your own?

[QUOTE=Everything;47514087]So in GTAO, do you HAVE to buy your PV? Or can you steal something, chop it up and call it your own?[/QUOTE] You can chop up normal cars (low end, easily found on the road) and put a tracker (to find where it is on the map and to be able to put it in a garage) plus insurance (so if it gets destroyed you can call Mors Mutual and pay a fee to get it back), but high end (sports cars, sports bikes) ones need to be bought from stores on the internet (And will come with Tracker/Insurance automatically).

These games are filling up insanely fast!

Also like I asked a page or so ago, does singleplayer have any carryovers to multiplayer? Or are they entirely separate?

[QUOTE=Everything;47514131]Also like I asked a page or so ago, does singleplayer have any carryovers to multiplayer? Or are they entirely separate?[/QUOTE] Separate.

[QUOTE=Everything;47514131]Also like I asked a page or so ago, does singleplayer have any carryovers to multiplayer? Or are they entirely separate?[/QUOTE] If by carryover you mean have any connections, some people from the story show up but since it takes place before GTA 5's story there are no spoilers, [sp]unless you count meeting a person who you see later into the story as a spoiler[/sp].

Impulse pre-ordered the game. Will probably finish just in time for release. I think I may leech my unis internet tomorrow. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KTgirQ0.png[/IMG] Living in Sweden doesn't always mean good internet ...

24 hours boys. This is gonna be good.

[QUOTE=.Lain;47513965] also, filesize in image size isn't linear when you factor in compression and lower resolution textures for insignificant objects[/QUOTE] Ah yes, the compression. Didn't think of that. Still it would be over 100 GB and some people are already struggling with the current size. Will anyone from here stream the launch on twitch tomorrow? I want to see the director mode and have to wait until friday before I can get my hands on it.

23 hours 54 minutes oh god the hype :v:

At about this time, tomorrow, people will be fighting for bandwidth as rockstar's servers are ripped to shreds by all the people who want to be first in the game.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;47514209]Living in Sweden doesn't always mean good internet ...[/QUOTE] Even still, it must be nice having ISPs that give half a shit. Mine thinks being down entirely for several hours every day constitutes as "unbeatable reliability"

[QUOTE=Hey I'm Grump;47514262]At about this time, tomorrow, people will be fighting for bandwidth as rockstar's servers are ripped to shreds by all the people who want to be first in the game.[/QUOTE] One connection to rule them all

Well, I got all the songs for my Monstercat station, now I just need radio adverts!

GTA V PC, Mortal Kombat X, Game of Thrones season premiere I'm so hyped I don't know what to do with myself

If you install retail does that mean you still need to wait for the game to unlock?

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47514338]better include some pegboard nerds bassline kickin[/QUOTE] because of you I expanded my song list from around 30 to 60, giving me 4 hours and 30 minutes worth of music on my custom station.

[QUOTE=DrugUnit;47514422]If you install retail does that mean you still need to wait for the game to unlock?[/QUOTE] I doubt it, but I don't know if you'll be able to play before downloading the day 1 patch.

[QUOTE=.Lain;47513744]i wish the textures were a tad higher resolution. otherwise these look pretty good, especially relative to 7th gen versions[/QUOTE] Seriously, when black mesa had super high def textures I was blown away by the quality, yet ZERO mainstream games do this. WHY?

[QUOTE=patq911;47514436]Seriously, when black mesa had super high def textures I was blown away by the quality, yet ZERO mainstream games do this. WHY?[/QUOTE] They're working on a budget, modders don't. Basically in a AAA studio there's a certain amount of time. That time is allocated to a LOT of things, so you aren't going to be spending time making that ULTRA HIGH DEFINITION texture because it takes time. Modders on the other hand have a lot of time to make just one asset, so that M4 looks fucking pristine. Basically modders just spend a lot more time on specific assets.

Do you think it'll be possible to upload the day one patch to an FTP somewhere?

[media]http://soundcloud.com/monstercat/insan3lik3-we-are-the-robots[/media] I'm gonna take a slow ride on a motorcycle through LS with this song blasting first day.

Wonder how long it'll take to decrypt on Steam.

[QUOTE=ramirez!;47514466]Do you think it'll be possible to upload the day one patch to an FTP somewhere?[/QUOTE] I don't see why not, won't work as well with steam, but the r* version could work They have alternate downloads as exe files iirc, so if that's mirrored out, the cdn won't be shot to shit
