'GTA V' to feature real-time weather effects

StickSkills.com writes, "Though it’s probably not a “back of the box” feature, Grand Theft Auto V will feature real-time weather effects. What does that mean for you? It means you’ll see furious storms, ocean waves that will make you think twice about taking a swim, and rain forming in puddles of mud."

It should include rare earthquakes being in LA, that would be awesome ;)

So hyped for this game!

stickskills4416d ago

Well, we have rumble in controllers... why not?!

thechosenone4416d ago

That would be freakin cool! And the real time weather effects is amazing! I want a PS4 version as the only games I'm getting this year for my PS3 are some indie games and the last few titles from Sony.

Wizziokid4416d ago

I really do hope they announce a PS4 version, That's the reason I still haven't pre-ordered

GdaTyler4416d ago

Earthquakes in GTA V? Are you insane? Our human bodies cannot handle that much awesomeness.

k2d4416d ago (Edited 4416d ago )

Wonder if you'll be able to see local weather differences? Standing on Mt. Chilliad and witnessing total opposite weathers conditions around SA. Maybe that's for next generation.. I wish Skyrim would've had it.

DhionatanSantos4413d ago

Tell that to Rockstar maybe they put it in the game..

Man this game is going to be amazing. I also want tornadoes, hurricanes lol, maybe im asking for too much. =]

Persistantthug4416d ago

There's no tornadoes or hurricanes in California.

We just get earthquakes and occasional rain storms.

ltachiUchiha4416d ago

True, I just wanted it as a feature for multiplayer mode. Have weather system. Would be cool.

Hayabusa 1174416d ago

Erm, hasn't GTA always had real time weather effects? At least all the ones I've played.

Earthquakes and tornados would be a step up, but I highly doubt that'll happen.

MajorLazer4416d ago

I believe the article means that it will be a more advanced weather system than previous Gta titles

Bounkass4416d ago

Since when is instant rainfall and instant rainstop realtime? :P

PersonMan4416d ago

I believe the weather in GTA IV was on a schedule. It was always the same pattern.

KumquatGOATBEEF4416d ago

@Kratos

You're preaching to the choir since you obviously missed Bounkass's point.

Fasttrack764416d ago

Enough just give me the game plz. :)

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese46d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde45d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast45d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake45d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow145d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown53d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8553d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown53d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8552d ago (Edited 52d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole52d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name53d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast52d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj52d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
