Grand Theft Auto V - Next Gen Thread

Of all the things they could've added, they didn't choose seat belts. You know how if you wait three seconds after getting on a motorcycle, your character puts on a helmet? Why can't our characters just do that with seatbelts in cars?

It's probably tricky to do realistically, the reasons for not doing it include: Each character would need a different animation depending on the clothing they were wearing to prevent intersections and in race cars they would want to rig a harness which would require a lot of effort from the animators, quite a few polygons would be required to have a nice deformable belt, it slows down the process of driving off which could be annoying in some situations and most players won't notice it.

There's better options than a TV from Walmart with no brand name...

The brand name is Vizio. Autocorrect just wanted to be an ass.

So getting this, it has so much detail and looks so good! Are gunfights easier in 1st Person or 3rd?

In cover I find third person best, but everywhere else, first person.

I'd say 3rd person is easier just because you can see more, but in 1st person mode you can crank up the field of view to compensate for that a little bit, also the settings are highly customisable, so there is something for everyone so to speak.

I think I'll go for 3rd person for most stuff, and 1st person for medium-long range gunfights.

Because that's just how GTA is.

I agree that would be cool and one thing I wish you were able to do was sell clothes like helmets

I wish you could set the game to not automatically put a helmet on. The first person tint is annoying at night, and riding round with no helmet just looks cooler.

Plus it's GTA.

You can for Online, in the Inventory, go to a hat that you're wearing and hit Square

Back during the Cashpocalypse, I decided to buy every item of clothing that I had unlocked. Boy do I regret that decision now. If I'm out far away from my apartment or clothing store and want to put on my "Smoke Cop Frames" aviator sunglasses, it takes forever to get to them in the interaction menu. Plus, there's all the ugly free sunglasses that I never wanted.

 

[Sage Ages]

I have a bunch of stupid glasses from purchased outfits.

 

[Dan]

Speaking of outfits, I always have specific clothing items I wear. It would be so much easier if I could create a custom outfit, so I won't have to go through each category to pick out each individual piece of clothing.

 

[Sage Ages]

I don't worry about that since most of the time I usually wear the same two basic outfits, but that would be convenient.

Does GTA V work with a steering wheel in first person mode in a vehicle? Such as the Thrustmaster T500?
That'd be awesome.

I doubt it. I know wheels barely worked on GTA IV, and I'm sure they wouldn't work at all in V.

Especially on PC, there will always be a workaround on how to get a steering wheel to work. I know that Jeff Favignano recently did a LCPDFR video using his X360 controller and G27, however he too said it was quite a hassle to get it to function properly. So I guess, with some emulation software, it will also work in GTA 5.

However, and I guess that's what your initial point was, I don't think that Rockstar will support wheels natively, especially not on consoles.

I'm going to try to play GTA V with a Guitar Hero guitar.




I don't actually play Guitar Hero.

 

[paulmac2k9]

I really want to try get my DFGT or G27 to work for Gta V on PC . It would be so funny.

 

[Sage Ages]

What's the point in using a wheel in GTA? You spend more time on foot than in a vehicle.

 

[katpeeler]

In my opinion the first person mode is what made me buy the next gen version as it is a complete different experience.
I'm playing through the story again in first person mode to much enjoyment.
It's much more thrilling in first person, especially blasting through the red lights at intersections and have a car driving up scaring the crap out of you the last microsecond before you plough into it and get hurled out your car through the windscreen.

The only time I switch to third person sometimes is when I need to land a helicopter in a tight spot or want to look at the vehicle I'm driving.

Well I ended up buying the digital copy. I only got about an hour into it and the first person is very immersive. BUT I cannot drive in first person. The cars are hard to control and I cant see anything..So I have it swapping to third person while Im driving...I cant wait until I can open the game up with the characters and do different things...The begining is rather slow

 

[Sage Ages]

It takes a while to get used to first person, but you'll get the hang of it eventually.

 

[MMX]

Been looking for a 4dr Felon online for 3 days, but no luck. Just don't want to spend 90k to buy it, but having a hell of a time finding one.

PS4 btw.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Finally, my PS4 arrived today. I'll be Online once I get the hang of things lol

I just want to do it for fun I got a Xbox controller for it otherwise. I got a non FFB wheel to work for GTA IV .

Either way I know I need something other than the keyboard for driving .

Man i thought i was the only one suffering from this. I regret buying every clothes the most.
