Nah that must be some alternate timeline I remember September 17th 2013 very well only mechwarrior online came out then nba came out 1st October. All these people saying gta 5 came out then are just insane. DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!

I played it on xbox 360 and experienced glorious framedrops below 20fps in the first Trevor missions.

u/Ripley825 1d ago

I vividly remember getting my Xbox 360 copy of gtaV at the midnight release and being immediately pissed that I needed to download an update when my broke ass didn't have wifi.

u/Free-Sheepherder-744 23h ago

All joking aside for a second im jealous if this, I was only 13 at the time and i wanted this for gta 6. I never got to experience a midnight release and I think that's criminal

u/Ripley825 23h ago

It was pretty cool my friend. Tons of people lined up around the shopping center. One group dressed in green and had a Rottweiler wearing fake gold chains and a green jersey like Chop. The dog was so sweet. (They said it was training to go love up on kids in hospitals) People were ordering pizzas for each other and blasting music in the parking lot. It was like a 4 hour long party. Last midnight release I went to was for Tears of the Kingdom and it was so lack luster. Maybe a dozen people. Employees weren't happy and just rushed everyone along. Get your crap and go vibe. Back in the hay day it was amazing

Although it does point out the fact that the above comparison uses a screenshot from the PS3/Xbox360 version. The difference is a lot smaller when you compare it to the PS4 or PC version of the game (but still very obvious). Even GTA 4 looked better on PC than GTA 5 on PS3

u/Artisan_HotDog 1d ago

There really isn’t honestly. At this point we will see this level of graphics with more fidelity to the systems and overall content. People out here legit wanting to live in the game like it’s “Ready Player One” and are expecting it to be under $70 and not take up a full terabyte. Have they even said how much storage space GTAVI is going to eat up? Shit, it will feel like I’m living in Cyberpunk by the time I’m in my 50s because I’ll have to hit swap storage drives because I can only fit 3/4 new games on a 4tb solid state.

u/Training_Wasabi6253 1d ago

Even something remastered and expanded is nowhere near as good as something built from the ground up. GTA V Expanded at its best on PC with Ultra settings with Ray Tracing is still not close. V feels like a mannequin compared to a human. Stiff, limited, not nearly as dynamic but still looks good considering it came out over a decade ago on the 360/PS3. GTA VI is setting a standard in the same way it did in 2013 and 2008 and every year prior. It's generational and will stand the test of time. Rockstar have truly done it again.

When the world loads in for the first time after the first cutscene, only then will it be real to us that we are starting another 10 year plus journey of remaster and ports to make it look and play even better than it does on a base PS5.
