Techtorial: Next year, Grand Theft Auto V is without a doubt the biggest release from the video game industry and just in case you still haven’t own a PS3 or Xbox 360, here’s a discussion of possibilities why players should choose one platform over the other.
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…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
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.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
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.
I'm going with PS3 because honestly... I've owned GTA games on Sony platforms all three generations. Had GTA2 on PS1, still have San Andreas and Vice City on PS2, and have GTA4 on PS3. I just don't like to switch around game consoles if I don't have to. Try to stick to one console per series. (Unless it's something like Kingdom Hearts which jumps platforms like crazy. -_-)
As an owner of both consoles I'm going to have to go with the 360. Multiple discs(if they are doing it) are going to suck but the online seems better on the 360 with past Rockstar games.
It's a multiplat, so your best bet is the 360. Some rare exceptions exist, though.
With the best version, it doesn't matter which console its played on.
I doubt Rockstar will go the route with an timed exclusive DLC for GTA V, IV was an exception because it was the first GTA game on a next Gen console. They also got an ear full from PS3 users. They made it up to PS3 users with PS3 exclusive content with L.A Noire and Red Dead Redemption. With that said, I don't think any console will get any exclusive or timed exclusive content from RS this time around.
While having 3 or more disc on X360, the PS3 suffers from having a lot of Data on the Disc as well, that depends on how optimized the game is on the system though. This is Rockstars second GTA title on this console and 4th or 5th game this gen, so I'm sure this game will work well on both platforms even after a patch. Look at how RDR ran on the 360 and how it ran after the patch on the PS3.
As the author mentioned MP3, it ran well on both consoles and I'm sure GTA V will run just as well on both consoles.
I played GTA IV on the 360 and then on the PS3 after I bought a PS3 and will end up picking up the PS3 copy at launch, due to not having any problems with GTAIV on the PS3.
