GTA 5: Old-Gen vs Next-Gen Screenshot Comparison

Check out a slider comparison between GTA 5 Next-Gen and GTA 5 Old-Gen.

[Garnelenkoenig]

Really impressive. Seems they eliminated all the blur effects.

[Maddens Raiders]

Looks fantastic.

[Gamerbeyond]

that will be $60 please.lol

[Paprika]

I'm from the UK, I'd gladly pay $60 for this, lol!

[Kidmyst]

I played through the game once on PS3 and will gladly play it again on PS4.

[Makkanchor]

Lol gamerbeyond that made me laugh!!!

[Makkanchor]

But its worth getting rockstars said all vehicles from previous gta titles will be in this gta 5 also the whole game has been upgraded i cant wait!!!

[assdan]

Looks like about what I was expecting. A bit better than max payne 3 from what I can tell (of course I'm not looking at these in full res right now). Not an insult, that looks amazing. Just no surprise based on how it was getting hyped..

[3-4-5]

The Game is the same though....

[Software_Lover]

Is it just me or do the trees look better on the ps3/360 version?

[Jihaad_cpt]

I have to disagreed... HARD

[r1sh12]

I just read the rockstar newswire, its not just a port with improved graphics
They have re-worked a few things..
I want to play the GTA V story again, but I will do it on PC this time.
Wonder if the additional content will be on PS3/xbox 360 versions

[Walker]

Wasnot that impressive imo. looks like ps3 version at 1080p and not even 60fps !

[kennyg3739]

How can you determined fpsfrom from a screen screenshot?

[EvilWay]

You couldn't see those frames dropping? lol

[Godz Kastro]

Goes to show you how ignorant people can be when it comes to this 1080/60 debate. My goodness....

[dmeador]

No kidding, from what i could tell in that screenshot they are shooting for a locked 1 fps

[gamer4lifeyo]

My bad, I accidentally disagreed. I was laughing so hard I hit the wrong one, lol

[BootyBandit]

Walker what's your point?
The PS3 version wasn't 60fps nor was it 30fps. At least not a stable 30fps. If they can lock in 30fps on GTA V on the PS4 that'll be just fine with me.

[DrJones]

I hope it's like in Infamous where you can unlock it, for an average of 35-40 fps.

[Yetter]

Lookes like 1 frame per couple seconds to me

[zeeman]

I am reporting you for blatant stupidity

[chrissx]

Its amazing how good the old gen version still looks,but that upgrade is really good

[Agent_hitman]

To all the Pc gamers like me, iCenhancer anyone??.

[BootyBandit]

Damn you only have one bubble. Maybe you can PM me or someone else can answer my question. Do you have to purchase the physical copy version of GTA IV to use the iCenhancer or can you purchase the digital copy and get that mod?

On topic:
I enjoyed GTA V so much that I bought and played it on both the PS3 and 360. I can't wait to play it again on the PS4. All I'm asking for is a locked 30fps or higher. My only gripe with GTA V on the previous consoles was it dipping down into the teens, especially while driving around the city.

[FlameWater]

The digital version is compatable
The latest icenhancer says it's compatible with all versions. The previous version I have had seperate folders for 1.4 and 1.7 real easy to instal. Just copy and paste, make a backup copy of game and original vehicles cause they're corrupted mod files on the net.

[BootyBandit]

Thanks for the info FlameWater. +Helpful

I just got back into PC gaming and I'm looking forward to seeing how GTA IV ice mod will look and run on my new rig.

[FlameWater]

I wonder if will be able to mod real cars and customize them

[ChrisW]

Even without iCenhancer, the PC version (on ultra settings) will look considerably better than the next gen consoles. That comparison they posted was most likely on medium settings for the PC.

[Jaqen_Hghar]

the actual city looks SOOOO much better here. Also there's actual clouds instead of a big blur and a man sees the jaggies far less easily on new gen

[Grap]

is it 60FPS or not?, that's the real question!.

[DrRobotnik]

Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast was 60fps. I wonder how many polygons that was pushing out?

[LightningMokey]

Dont compare on two different times of day.

[ChrisW]

Are you referring to times of day as in AM and PM? 1:00 and 2:00? Breakfast time and Lunch time? Afternoon and evening? Dawn and Dusk?

Only reason for asking is because... time is irrelevant.

[LightningMokey]

I'm referring to different lighting. I want to see two pictures of same thing at around same time to better compare the two.

[ChrisW]

OoooOOOoooOOOoooh...

I feel just a wee bit silly...

[LightningMokey]

Lel that made me chuckle. Bub + just because.

[philm87]

Hard to tell the big difference till you see it in front of your eyes on a TV. The PS3 version always looks much better on screenshots than the actual thing, you notice the worse lighting and the jagged edges much more.

[iistuii]

It just didn't look like that. The jaggies were awful. You can get a good picturelast gen by getting the correct angle but it doesn't tell the whole story. The lack of aa killed it for me.

[Dirkster_Dude]

One of the few games where I can actually tell without trying very hard that improves graphics from 1 generation to the next. Most games especially those that people get all hot and bothered about (fanboy/fangirl) the graphics are usually so subtle or indistinct that you really can't tell from images.

[bleedsoe9mm]

am i the only one that doesn't see the giant leap , lighting looks alittle better and i'm sure the framerate will be a ton better than ps3/360 , but not a instant 60$ buy for me without some story dlc

[smolinsk]

Come on it looks great for an upgraded version of an ps3/xbox:) the pc version is gonna be the same, Gta 3 and 4 only sold 1,8 millions in total, so its logical that they will not go all in for the pc version.

[BadlyPackedKeebab]

Jizztastic!

[toddybad]

This game more than any other (because EVERYBODY bought it on the last gen) - if you buy it, you're an idiot. Remakes and sequels are killing gaming.

[DrRobotnik]

Nintendo started it with Super Mario Bros. All Stars back in 1993. I think the gaming industry survived since then.

[Alicornium]

How are they killing gaming? Please tell.

[purp13m0nk3y]

It's pretty ignorant to assume that everyone has already played it too.

In my circle of friends, most of us missed out on playing GTA5 (and many other AAA titles last gen).

We are all mid thirties, with families, kids, and careers. So we don't get to game like we used to.

For people like us all these remasters are a god send, because now we get the opportunity to play those games (looking and playing their absolute best) on our shiny new consoles.

Problem is, I've already got a huge backlog of games piling up on my hard drive that I've yet to play properly. And so many more on the horizon.

Wish I didn't need sleep lols.

[LamerTamer]

I am an idiot because I am buying this. Then again I never played it on those last gen antiques.

What is killing gaming is rushed out buggy games, incomplete games rushed out to require gigs of patches later, microtransactions, pay to win, day one DLC, online required DRM, and other anti-consumer practices.

[smolinsk]

If the game is fun even if its a Remake, how is it killing gaming? maybe you should just start play all the great games instead of killing us with your bitterness.

[toddybad]

It's killing gaming because instead of making new games devs are pumping money and resources into remaking last years games. If you enjoyed the game and played the hell out of it, great, but why would slightly shinier graphics make it worth paying for again? It's just encouraging the devs to make no effort.

[Tex117]

I really dislike remakes. Sure, in the early years of a new console I can see the value, but eff. I want something new.

Like...a new Red Dead.

[josephayal]

Good Job RS, I'm gonna re-buy and re-play from scratch

[bumnut]

Sucker

[josephayal]

I'm So Excited! GTA V PS4 Day One!

[DougLord]

While their is an obvious difference, it's not enough to justify rebuying the game.

[Ken85]

Is there going to be any previous gen upgrade discount? I'm gonna be really disappointed if there isn't.

[Pikminmaniac]

Even though it was a great last gen game, think I'll pass on the current gen one. Never really found online to be enjoyable, and so there is no reason for me to replay an improved version. I'll stick to my 360 copy if i find interest in the game again.
And can anyone tell me the point of buying the same game twice? Besides to play it on enhanced visuals (which is a tad silly imo), what is the point?

[LamerTamer]

I guess you need to also ask those who bought a movie on VHS tape/DVD and now bought the exact same movie on Blu-ray. It is the same movie just a little crisper and you know how it ends, what is the point? Yes, enhanced visuals.

[Pikminmaniac]

So people can say graphics aren't everything, yet drop money on the same game they've played before because of enhanced graphics. Oh the irony

[AKR]

I don't usually get caught up in the whole graphics-debate, but in all honesty, for what was supposed to be a last-gen only title; this game even surpasses Watch_Dogs.

[windblowsagain]

Looks better then Watchdogs graphically and bigger.

I might actually pick this up.

[cell989]

Glad I only played the story on PS3 once

[ScaryMonkey]

This will be the first remaster that will actually get me to buy a remaster.

[Artemidorus]

What is it with people wanting 60 frames? It's not the answer to all the problems.

[tee_bag242]

Considering were talking about a remake for next gen its not such a tall order.

[Gemmol]

not worth 60 dollars

[bumnut]

It is if you have not played it, if you already have and rebuy....... you need help!

[TomahawkX]

the game looks great on ps4/x1 but this comparison is not the best. When you are in the sky the LOD kicks in so you will see lower poly for the environments. You also can't see the 1080p resolution textures from that distance.

[Drakul]

there is difference but sadly it doesn't look like 10 years old and new hardware/software difference.

[MRMagoo123]

I think you are missing the bigger picture tho, these pictures dont show the differences you will notice in game, like less of the same car sets repeated over and over, the same looking ppl over and over, cars just popping up in front of you when driving and using the rear mirror, with the extra ram that should all be much better. There is a big list of differences it will make but I think thats enough at the mo.

[GeofferyPeterson]

Wow. Glad I waited to buy this one! Lol at all you who are too spoiled to play it again!!!

[MRMagoo123]

I played through the story once on ps3 and I am getting it day 1 on ps4 to do it all again, don't feel sorry for the people that already played it because we have the knowledge of all the cool stuff we look forward to doing again.

[TheFallen1327]

Don't be that guy who's excited for a last of us remake but not for GTA v

[maniac76]

enhanced visuals ftw,biotech!

[GeraltofRivia]

so basically a 2004 gaming pc compared to a 2007 gaming pc in regards to the graphics comparison.

[sackboyhappy]

the weather looks different in each pic
last gen cloudy day, current gen clear day/ blue sky.
