NowGamer has compared the latest 'Leisure' and 'Transport' screenshots to their equivalents in GTA: San Andreas.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
It's interesting to see the difference. Good article.
That parachute shot really shows how far things have come in just 8 years. The irony is GTA 5 will most likely play 95% similar to San Andreas.
Truly great to see the evolution of this series. This is one of those games to tell everyone about I'm sure it's going to be GOTY quality R* never lets ME down. I'm glad their taking us back to Los Santos again. really glad. San Andreas is one of my top 3 games of all time. But I'm Really surprised that we aren't getting a Vice City this gen. although i don't think Vice City would work as good as it did outside of the 80's theme so if they do a new one in Vice City I think I'd like it to be in the 80's also. I'm sorry i just realized i got way off topic :P Just thinking out loud now.
San Andreas doesn't even look as bad as I thought it would 8 years later. That said, GTA V kills it and looks pretty great.
Man it would be awesome if they did a hd collection with this engine to celebrate gta V XD
