GTA VI Is By Far the Biggest Reason to Buy a PS5 Pro

The PlayStation 5 Pro may be pricey, but it's also going to be the best way to experience Rockstar's massively anticipated game GTA VI.

[shadowT]

true

[TheEroica]

Thanks in advance to all the beta testers!

[VenomUK]

@TheEroica That’s claimed can be levelled at all the people who ‘beta test’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on launch day prior to its fully specced out PS5 Pro release.

[GamerRN]

I'm predicting 40fps at best ... I mean it's mostly CPU limited ... I'm curious though, and I can't wait to buy a Pro

[isarai]

Nah

[purple101]

People saying it’s cpu limited etc

Look the biggest downfall of GTA games has always been draw distance
& I believe that’s due to data streaming speed issue

And we all know ps5 and the pro, are absolute BEAST at moving data around.

I think we’re good boys!

[Profchaos]

I think you're probably referring to texture streaming over draw distance right so cars would pop in just ahead of you causing a crash and to be honest I don't think that's been a problem since GTA SA or VCS if you played the portable systems.

I feel like the current consoles should have excellent data streaming capabilities that will resolve all of these issues.

GTA games since IV have always used artistic methods like blur to hide genuine draw distance limitations and it worked well even as far back as GTA SA the heat effect was used in IV the blur was applied to mask it all and vc / 3 divided up the cities.

Bottom line is every modern console should be able to handle the game

[darthv72]

Just have to wait and see.

[fr0sty]

That's where I'm at. I'm not buying all the "It'll be CPU bound" doomsayers, because nobody has even seen how the engine handles managing data streaming, AI, etc... we'll need to see video of it running on the hardware. Hopefully that will come before too long. The radio silence from R*, with no more gameplay since the trailer, kinda sucks.

[Eonjay]

Next trailer is said to be at the VGAs in December.

[Chard]

Yeah, the improvement will have to be substantial enough to justify the price tag - I'm currently skeptical we'll be looking at a 30fps vs 60fps difference.
I recently started FF7 Rebirth (on 30fps mode) - I had wondered if I would hold off for the Pro improvements but I'm not going to

[Eonjay]

Thats exactly what I did. To me, if I can play the game on Graphics at 60 that will be worth the wait. Pragmatically, the price is only $400 with my trade. I get the best possible way to play which should help hold me down until PS6. Four years is still a while before next gen so having the option to upgrade for just $400 is a no brainer.

[blackblades]

Yeah wait and see but let's also put the spotlight on the ones whining about the system also did the same with the portal and the dual sense edge. Those wasnt the only thing they B* about.

[Tacoboto]

GTA VI is being regarded as this generation's savior, it's getting a bit much.

At least wait until the second trailer.

[Profchaos]

GTA has long since transcend itself and it's a cultural phenomenon the trailer for it became the most watched YouTube video within a short timeframe.

So yeah I have little doubt that many consoles will be sold when this comes out

[Eonjay]

This gen doesn't need a savior. There are literally thousands of games to play. GTA is an industry in and of itself, and it will cause PlayStation sales to explode (especially as all the hold outs finally upgrade). The gen is just fine. This is just the cherry on top.

[jznrpg]

I agree no savior needed. There are so many games to play I need more time. If you only play AAA games maybe I could see that , there are less AAA than before but they take longer than ever to make so maybe try and play some smaller games

[jznrpg]

I’ve never played a GTA so it’s no savior for me. But I think this gen is as good as any —other people whine to damn much instead of looking for games to play.

[GamingSinceForever]

Better off waiting for the PS6 Remastered version.

[fr0sty]

that'll be 10 years off at this rate. the PS5 version won't even drop until the year after next now.

[Eonjay]

GTA is still coming in 2025.

[where-eagles-dare]

I agree, although I might hold out for the PS6 Pro Remastered version. I should be getting my pension about then!

[DustMan]

Then you'll actually get the best version of GTA6. I mean they've been absolutely milking GTA V since it's OG release in 2013. You can bet it'll be a talking point of the PS6 with a "remastered" version laying in the wings.

[Gamings-Last-Legend]

I'm not the biggest fan of GTA whatsoever... but it's hard to ignore that the release of gta 6 isn't just going to be a big day in gaming... it's going to be a historic event. I'll be playing it on console, via ps5 pro.

[Goodguy01]

With no PC version confirmed day one then yes, this is true. I do hope a 60fps option is available without sacrificing too much visuals.

[WhyDoIFly]

Highly unlikely for 60 on the Pro (CPU too weak) so the only difference will likely just be better graphics on the Pro.

PC version likely to come before PS6 and should be far better than PS5 if you use moderate spec new hardware at the time of release, at least in terms of fps. There's already CPUs that are a lot more powerful than in the consoles.

[ZacultronTheFirst]

I for one have high hopes for a 60 fps mode this generation as this has been one of those tech that majority have been quite vocal about and given the budget for GTA VI, we can expect groundbreaking tech and optimization from Rock*,contrary to what anyone say,be that DF or anyone else.

[repsahj]

Let's just wait for Base PS5 performance of GTA6, just increase that to 60fps for PS5 pro.

[gammaray13]

haha

[Demetrius]

Hopefully it comes out next year and not 2026. Rockstar been having us wait years, so we better be able to enter alot of in depth interiors, for real lol I hope we be able to do alot.

[Miraak82]

I won't be dupped into buying it at release .Had the ps3 version , both ps4 physical and digital copy then my friend decided to get ps5 copy and realized you can't cross play between ps4 and 5 editions , was like " I 'm not buying this shit again "lol . I'll wait few years till ps6 or a PC version is out as I wouldn't want to sacrifice graphics or performance in the experience, something I didn't want to have to do for other games I've played like FF16 and FF7r2 . We'll have the next 15 years to enjoy this installment till GTA7 comes out ;P

[Giga_Gaia]

I bet the normal PS5 will have fidelity and performance mode. I am good with performance mode, it already looks good enough on every games. Not going to spend 700$ for an upgrade with barely any difference to current performance mode.

[TheKingKratos]

You don't need to beat that will absolutely happen

Ps5 is a 4k machine and it's a beast when ity comes to graphics and moving data ...we probably won't even have loading screen

[anal_vegan_moans]

ps5 is not a 4k machine, it upscales games to 4k. Look at recent releases like space marine 2 and star wars outlaws running below 1080p internally before being upscaled to 4k.

And no load screen? You're dreaming. There will always be at least one load screen or the game won't play LMFAO

[TheKingKratos]

@Anal

Interesting name you got there

No it's absolutely 4K machine and you bring those games but there are many games that are native 4K in Fidelity mode and when i am talking about no loading time... Is that it takes nothing to load at all

For example, Horizon Forbidden West and Spiderman 2 and others i see almost no screen before the game load as fast as possible no game takes more than two seconds and i am in... I can travel to any place on the map in an instant for example in many many games

It's truly a wonderful machine and a power house

[dmonee]

Like red dead 2 before it. Gta 6 will have a finite amount of NPC’s. Supposedly different then gta 5 but similar to red dead 2. From what ive read, it’s possible to run into the same random NPC in different locations at different times. Not sure if that changes the way they do business this time around

[PhillyDonJawn]

The way it's looking we gon get ps6 before gta 6

[Elda]

I'm buying a PS5 Pro on day one & GTA 6 has nothing to do with my decision, I don't play the GTA games.

[jznrpg]

I don’t play them either. But Pro day 1

[Petebloodyonion]

Totally true like how PS4 Pro made huge Improvement to Red Dead Redemption 2 over the ps4
like better resolution and ...
and ...
and...
oh wait it's the only improvement.
https://youtu.be/K6_jJpM9yw...

But hey this time it will be different because?

[TheKingKratos]

You get it

Plus ps5 already a very beastly 4k machine and even more beastly at moving data and streaming textures and other graphical things

I will be laughing at all the zoom in 200% to notice 900$ difference lmao 😂😂

[PRIMORDUS]

Best way to experience it is to wait for the PC release, if you want the best version overall.
https://uploads.disquscdn.c... 🤣

[FlameWater]

If GTA6 came out PC day 1, we would be having a very different conversation.

[ZacultronTheFirst]

That is ABSOLUTELY True!
Majority will most definitely opt for PC.
But given the history, PC Day 01 is highly unlikely.

[8bitAssassin]

Not buying it. Barely played my copy of V.

[ZacultronTheFirst]

Then you don't have to be part of this discussion.

[8bitAssassin]

That would be true if I was hating for any reason. I'll follow what the game is like at launch. But the overhype this series gets, absolutely kills it for me.

[RhinoGamer88]

Wait for the bundle deal on the pro and 6. My gut is 6 will slip to 26! Spoiled Rockstar!

[Profchaos]

Rockstar are top tier Devs they put GTA v on PS360 and rdr2 on PS4 / x1.

Everyone holding onto their base consoles are still in for a amazing experience

We need to stop the hyperbole around how much better the pro will be for GTA vi when we know absolutely zero about it

Even if it's 30fps on vase consoles their animation work is top notch 30 didn't hurt GTA v or rdr 2 on target platforms at all the games also never relied on twitch shooter mechanics so the slower frame rate was fine controversial opinion but GTA games have always felt better to me at 30

[CrimsonWing69]

Does it actually make a difference?

[TheKingKratos]

You mean the game that will likely launch in 2026 which after that with two or 3 years we get Ps6 ?!

You mean the game that will look and play amazingly on Ps5 since that is their target system just like any developer?!

If you think that game will be 4k60fps on a system that barely 46% more powerful in Gpu than Base Ps5 will do that (it won't because it needs to be 100% more powerful) ... then boy, you will be shocked with how things will turn out

The game will likely have the same graphics with higher res than Ps5 and that's about it.

But keep dreaming though and try your best to justify 900$ console that barley stronger by half than the normal Ps5.

[jznrpg]

900$? it’s 699$. 778$ with the disc drive

[TheKingKratos]

That's in USA only
Outside it it cost as much as 900$ and that's without taxes and accessories

This game will look and play the same on OG Ps5 with the difference will probably a little higher res or fps since both are 4k machines and the only difference between them is the GPU is stronger but not by much

[PrecursorOrb]

How did wccftech play it a year early? Are they secretly the developer?

[BlackDoomAx]

Biggest reason is having enough money to buy it.

[repsahj]

So if the Base PS5 version will get a max performance of 1080p@30, expect the PS5 Pro to bump it to 1080p@60!

[SonOfOsiris]

LOL yeah right

[gold_drake]

not for everyone no.

[isarai]

Nah.
