From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.
This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."
For World Book Day, here are 10 video games that feel like reading a good book—emotional, thoughtful, and unforgettable stories.
I would have included the Uncharted games as well. Good list though.
Haha it is not lost on me that two of the games in the top four were already novels before they were games
The Enhanced and Expanded PC version of Rockstar Games' open world action game, GTA V, is facing backlash over its missing text chat feature.
My problem with the game is they want to install a Kernel level driver before I can even boot the game in sngle player mode I don't care about GTA online
I flat out refuse to allow any game kernal level it's a huge risk I don't need to take
It's not the only game that has done this. Ut it's absolutely shutting the dorr completely on PC gaming for me kernal level drivers are ineffective at preventing cheaters but publishers insist on continued use
My big issue is how long it takes to transition between open world and interiors in Online.
Sometimes it can take over a minute of just starring at a black screen.
Let it sleep already R*. VI is coming and this game has had 12 years in the spotlight.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Edition comes to PC as a free upgrade as Rockstar prepares to launch its next blockbuster (GTA 6). In less than a week, the upgraded version has garnered close to 200K concurrent players on Steam. Unfortunately, the game is far from perfect. W
It looks great, got everything running on ultra, have long shadows set to max and it's running silky smooth.
The ray tracing and lighting makes the game look amazing.
The reflections are a noisy mess, particularly with DLSS. Shame they didn't have ray reconstruction, seems to work wonders for cyberpunk
The reflections are like a mirror, I have no noise at all. Are you sure you have it set correctly?

I've everything maxed out. the reflections DO have a lot of noise in them in motion. When you stop for a second to look at them they look okay but when you're driving around there's a definite blur and sparkle to them that you often get from RT. Again, exactly the same as you get in Cyberpunk without ray reconstruction but is much reduced with.
I really don't have that, what you see here is what I have in motion even online vids have it completely clear. I'm running of a 5090 with everything set to the highest.

Ah I see. Well if you have a 5090 then I'm guessing are you're probably getting quite a high frame rate (I'm guessing hitting that 120 fps max), which will make a difference too, since the RT samples in the reflections accumulate temporally. I'm on a 3080 so I'm keeping my frame rate around 60-75 at 4K, and the low sample/high noise of the RT is definitely apparent… particularly on moving cars at night time I've noticed the most (makes sense given highest contrast between light and dark) DLSS amplifies the noise too, it's the big thing that sticks out as low fidelity when the rest resolves nicely
Just had a chance to watch this on my 4K monitor now. Do you not see the blurriness of the reflections in relation to everything else in motion? Like it's definitely better and less noisy than it is for me at 60fps with quality DLSS but it's still pretty bad compared to how crisp the screen space/cubemap ones were when driving about. fine when you stop for a second but driving around you're rarely stopped so it's near constant muddy reflections.
Get the mods on a torrent site and tell the world were they are.
I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.
If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often
