i doubt it will be a large visible improvement but im sure there will be some settings that demolish framerate for very little perceived gain. Volumetric quality probably being the most likely.

Wonder if Rockstar asked them to remove it, it kinda pushed against RGL preorders.They deleted the tweet
The two biggest things would probably be improved SSR in the water and much higher resolution volumetric lighting. Other than that everything else looked ridiculously good on the X anyway.
Rockstar hates Big Clive confirmed.
(Yes, Big Clive is the only person I can think of when someone mentions the Isle of Man).
i'd be surprised if textures (especially environment textures) didn't get a bump as well
the one obvious weakness the game has visually
Yeah that too though the game is so big there's bound to still be a few crap ones. Textures are usually much more important on PC too because most people are sitting right up close to their screen compared to from a couch on their console.
Probably. But i expect significant improvements only on less noticeable, smaller textures. This has historically always been the case. Im not sure why but i would guess improving the larger textures has disproportionately larger vram penalties and maybe requires too much changes to streaming tech?
Oh shit. I'm on mobile right now, will save it for when I get home in a bit.
Hooo boah! I was so wrong lol.
Trailer just dropped!
You got it!
EDIT: Beaten
Oh man, I really hope they will patch this for PS5, I don't want to do the game all over again (170+ hours in SP) and I still need to get the 100%... looks dope.
I caved and got it on their launcher. The Steam version is going to make you download and launch it anyway and I doubt Steam will get the discounts on the special versions. Rockstar wins this time sadly.
300 Mbps upload and download here (and that's because I cheaped out, 600 Mbps is the norm and 1 Gbps is starting to be common here). The Steam version probably won't have preorders and therefore no preloads either. Don't even care because it'll be downloaded in minutes.
This post was made by the Canary Islands gang.
Probably Friday. Console games get pre-loads early as publishers have to account for certification, which isn't a thing on any PC DD platform, hence PC pre-load periods generally being a few days at most.
For those wondering, the Max Payne 3 version on RGL actually fucking works properly. It's not a broken piece of shit like the Steam version.
Constant crashing at different parts of loading the game up. Apparently due to DX11. It runs perfectly fine on DX11 on the RGL.
While we are giving heads up for Rockstar games, GTA IV on Steam only runs well if you don't launch it through Steam. You need to launch it from it's folder for it to not have performance issues. GTA IV didn't even make it to the RGL so it seems like they won't ever be bothered to fix it.
Which is a shame too, I fucking loved GTA IV.
"Cousin! Let's go bowling!"
I miss the Swings of Doom. Spent so much time screwing around with them.
Oh yeah haha, I much preferred GTA 4's online to GTA 5 too. We made our own fun, usually at the airport or the swings.
Yep and for this simple fact, RGL has won my vote of worst launcher or store in all of PC gaming.
Damnit. I regret getting LA Noire and Bully, then. Just picked 2 random games since I already own all of them.
