GTA V PS4/XONE Downgrade - Version 1.00 Vs 1.08 Comparison [edit: BUG]
- Thread starter Blastoise
- Start date
It didn't run fine, though.
Assassins creed unity had a severe downgrade in the once beautifully lit cathedral near nortre dame, stunning but had a bad frame rate especially when climbing the stained glass windows, they fixed that frame rate and ruined the most beautiful building interior In the game.
I wonder if the car damage isn't the same, its just they increased the impact threshold of the damage occurring? Basically, they made vehicles sturdier? This could be a balancing change rather than a downgrade. I still see the car being deformed and losing panels and whatnot after repeated beatings, it just seems to take more to do it.

That is pretty bad...and on a cross gen game as well... Haven't bought it yet, but anyway I can stop it from updating when eventually I do?
Many people did notice better performance, though! lol
I think this game bridges the divide between cross gen and next gen. It is not just some up-res'd port.

I hope they sort this out!
Performance was fine, no need to kill the car destruction.

Yeah the main thing I noticed about the PS4 version at release was the terrible framerate at certain places. Will have to test it again.
If they downgraded to achieve it, so be it - at least be upfront about it.
Also the pcmasterrace thing is getting tiring on YT comments. I play on both PC and PS4 and I can see the benefits of both platforms. Jesus H Christ at the boring juvenile 4K circlejerk.

I'll try a few more car damage experiments later, but just now I literally drove off a small hill up where the high rise apartments are and it completely took off my bonnet and tyre arch.
It'll be interesting to see more opinions on this for sure (decent ones that is, not just a random shit post for the hell of it).
It's the cars deforming damage. Not panels falling off.
I would avoid Youtube comment sections in general. You can find awful comments from all 'communities' there.
It is not unnoticeable to plenty of others apparently.
Sure, if you like a lot of DRM restrictions on it.
Seems like plenty wouldn't have noticed a difference until it was pointed out to them.
Actually thinking about it though, I probably wouldn't have noticed a framerate improvement unless it was major.
oh thats why the framerate in GTA online is way better
And i mean WAY. It hardly drops ever from 30 now. Before it dropped all the time
I prefer dropping effects for framerate so this is fine imo..
Except the vehicle destruction model, since that actually affects the gameplay. Would like that at a higher level at least

They've put out patch notes for almost every update.

.
and? how do they explain this?
Its unclear just how much of 1.08 is by design or how much because of bugs.
Deformation is most certainly a bug, as there are instances where the car still deforms, then something triggers and it becomes a solid mass (panels removed & scratches only).
I really wouldn't be surprised if pretty much everything seen that's 'downgraded' in 1.08 is purely bugged. It seems that they were so focused on heists, they didn't even bother to test anything else that may have been affected.

It's probably a bug or weird oversight sort of like the trees not moving from last year.

Performance is better. And, playing it before I saw this video, I LITERALLY didn't notice a thing different. This is nitpicking.
Wow...I played it last days after a while and noticed something like "I though it looked better...strange". Now I know at least that I am not stupid haha.
Never heard of a downgrade by patch. Makes me worry because I liked that auto updating function. I might turn it off then. But for now it is too late...

Yeah, sure it looks very nice. Hopefully, Batman really does look and run like the footage they released, because that game looks much more impressive visually and seems to run better. Wel, that wouldnt be a surprise given the game is targeted at current gen.
Wow that's surprisingly quite a difference. Has this ever happened in a game before?
But if it needed the frame rate stabilized that is always first priority, just a shame they had to gimp it to such an extent rather than optimizing or whatever. I really liked the parallax mapping.

Framerate improvements are always welcome.
Disabling or reducing graphical fidelity in order to achieve better framerate in a patch after the game gets released is not uncommon but it should be fucking mentioned in the patch somewhere.
Distasteful, Rockstar. Not going to update my Xbone version now.

Eh I'd much rather have a stable framerate, speak for yourself buddy

The parallax mapping was one of the most impressive parts of the next gen version.

That's pretty bad.
Could it possibly be a bug? I remember that trees didn't have animation until the Christmas update, and that Heists introduced the car damage glitch.
Still, I didn't even notice it until it was pointed out. The game hasn't looked any different for me.
While it's pretty god damn laughable that people have nothing better to do than spend more time criticising other people for what device they game on rather than actually gaming, I would just pay no attention to it. While I also see the benefits of PC gaming, it's just not for me right now, case closed.

Me too, but there's a big difference downgrading between post-launch and pre-launch. If they had to downgrade with a patch it means they intentionally sent a broken game out the door which is inexcusable. Secondly, they are deliberately removing features for a game people paid for. There's no justifying that at all.

The game might be slightly better now because of the improved framerate but I'm still not supporting devs cutting graphical effects post launch, fuck that.
We will be needing a source for that. AFAWK, GTA V on PC will only have Steam and the Rockstar Social Club, which is exactly the same amount of DRM it has on consoles (RSC + platform of choice).
Not at all. The game wasn't 'downgraded', as much as they make some compromises in order to improve another important area of the game. It was never 'broken', either. This must be one of the most exaggerated and watered down uses of the term I've seen yet.
People here in this thread were saying they'd noticed(past tense) a performance improvement.
Yet I don't see a single person saying they'd noticed the lack of POM...
Yeah one of the changes could be a bug, but all together it sounds like it was done intentionally for performance gains.
