30 fps on vice city on ps5?? lmao

That can't be right? Or did they just choose graphics mode?

 

[amigastar]

Damn, where are the Reviews? Thats really cheap from Rockstar.

 

[Sleepwalker]

That can't be right? Or did they just choose graphics mode?

Im guessing thats what they did, but its still wild that there even is a fidelity and performance mode in the first place for current gen consoles

 

[Max Payne’s Baretta]

Im not gonna lie, I would have preferred Manhunt instead.

 

[AV]

That can't be right? Or did they just choose graphics mode?

Yes, it's on fidelity mode.

But something that looks like that should ABSOLUTELY be able to run at 4k60 on a PS5. Zero excuses.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Switch gameplay

Finally some gameplay apparently without any pathetic aim assist...

This is a modded PC version.

oh...

 

[Gordon Freeman]

I’m downloading San Andreas via Game Pass on my Series X right now.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Yes, it's on fidelity mode.

Maybe the PS5 isn't as powerful as we thought it was all this time? One of those ..."Yes but can it handle Crysis?" moments.......

 

[Kacho]

Here we go…

 

[amigastar]

Is there a possibilty to refund the game on Rockstar Launcher?
Edit: ok there is a refund possibilty but it requires not playing the game more than 2 hours.

 

[Dr. Doak]

Switch version looks horrendous and framerate is low (GTA 3) . Deleted it immediately. I want a refund

 

[JMarcell]

Not unlocked on PC (Rockstar Launcher) yet, it was supposed to be unlocked 15 minutes ago

 

[Resident Evil King]

I loaded San Andreas up on my Xbox just now, the TV went crazy flickering and I couldn't really see the game, then the Xbox shut off and my TV (Sony) turned off and started flashing a red light I've never seen in the four years I've had it.

I tried again and same thing happened, had to change to 1080p in Xbox settings for the game to load properly... Just a PSA in case anyone else encounters the same thing

 

[Superwave]

3 hours in and loving San Andreas. Cars handle 100x better than GTA V. Actual physics.

Has all the charisma and atmosphere of a real GTA game and looks gorgeous.

Worth 60$ for SA alone. Can't speak on III or VC but those are bonuses for me.

They probably so didn't care about PC port didn't even bother unlocking it

Same with me but i restarted the launcher and the games were made available to download.

 

[01011001]

San Andreas basically plays exactly the same as the original game, as expected... that's not necessarily a bad thing but all that this then means is you get a questionable graphics update for the price of loosing even more music

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I must experience this train wreck for myself. Downloading on Rockstar Launcher right now.

 

[amigastar]

Ok, so couldn't wait and bought it. Now lets hope it will deliver.

 

[thatJohann]

Just tried San Andreas on series X. Looks terrible. Super super dark. And I can’t believe the default graphics mode is the choppy unlocked 30fps. It’s better when you switch to performance mode but it’s hella ugly game. Bad first impression.

Grove Street Games are rubbish!!!

I just took that second shot from the trailer when I made that post. Here's the timestamp in the video:


(16 seconds~) It's not cropped or zoomed to be dishonest, this is what Rockstar used as a point of comparison.


Read the post I was responding to. The point is the original game never looked that bad to begin with, not even on PlayStation 2, I'd know - I play the living hell out of it on release. If you want to continue to argue in this pathetic pedantic style. "Unverified PC screenshot" - it's a screenshot I took earlier today. I started replaying Vice City when they announced the Definitive Editions as I'd not touched them in a couple of years. I'm sorry you feel the need to argue is an intellectually dishonest, pedantic, and rather poor way. Perhaps in future through the power of self-reflection you'll be able to improve the way in which you communicate.

No see, you have this backwards. I'm not the one arguing in an "intellectually dishonest, pedantic, and rather poor way." If you're going to bitch about comparisons then fucking show something meaningful. If not, expect to be called out accordingly.

I'm not the one providing bullshit and making claims. The original games look terrible, especially by todays standards (outside of some legit arguments around the fog/haze with San Andreas or orange sunlight type artistic things). Comparison's will always be done to show worst to best, or "best" depending on your own opinions.




That's all I'll continue to engage with this nonsense. Good day.

(you're allowed to dislike the definitive edition, that's not what I'm discussing)

 

[cormack12]

This is pleasantly awful

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Ok, so couldn't wait and bought it. Now lets hope it will deliver.

Deliver what?

A shitty framerate??

 

[Jibran#one]

It's like unlocked 30 to 40 fps on series x wtf is this absolute total shitshow

 

[Superwave]

Bring the contrast down. Increasing the brightness does nothing to help this.

 

[Luipadre]

30 fps with drops in quality mode and dropping to 30 in performance mode on both nextgen machines. What a pathetic cashgrab

 

[amigastar]

Yeah, probably

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Some fools blindly preordered this shit.
Hopefully they learned something.

 

[XGon'GiveItToYa]

Just bought it. Looking forward to playing them all again!

 

[Xander3116]

So for me on pc, with a 3600x and 5700 xt, Vice City at 4k runs at around 20-35 fps on ultra settings, at 1440p & 1080p it runs close to 60.

 

[01011001]

the definitive edition looks like pure shit in many scenes

 

[CircusOfValues]

Trying SA.
No HUD options from what I can see. I'd like to turn the majority of it off - especially for OLED.
Also, the minimap is more like a huuuuuge map.

Also, subtitles some times show even when the option for them has been turned off.

 

[drotahorror]

This looks fuckin awful lmao

 

[Kokoloko85]

Sounds like Ill wait till patched and not 30fps drops lol

 

[drotahorror]

 

[FunkMiller]

OMG... STILL no reviews?

 

[WoodyStare]

Thank fucking god for Game Pass/PS Now. If I paid full price for these, I’d be pissed. This is such a lazy cash grab.

 

[ozz ex machina]

Is there a list of the missing songs yet?

Also I cannot fucking believe there is even a "fidelity mode" for it to look this shit. NOTHING should be at 30fps at 4k.

 

[fatmarco]

The brightness and contrast levels are all wrong in this game. I'd advise lowering contrast and increasing brightness. The characters a near pitch black in some cutscenes due to the shadows.

 

[VulcanRaven]

OMG... STILL no reviews?

They probably get the games today too.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Yep. I am very good with my originals on pc, thanks.

Home | D.E.P (definitive-edition-project.com)

This mod is the definitive way to play these games. Some of the features:

• Countless bug fixes
• Widescreen support
• 4k interface
• Restored music (Billie Jean, BABY!)
• Full controller support with button prompts
• Restored original PS2 and XBOX effects
• Higher resolution textures that are true to original

I would argue that original games still look fantastic. They have this timeless look and are still a blast to play. Few screenshots:

Jesus freaking Christ that cow piss filter...

 

[FunkMiller]

Thank fucking god for Game Pass/PS Now. If I paid full price for these, I’d be pissed. This is such a lazy cash grab.

Agreed. I'll just have a go at San Andreas on my laptop... and thank god I didn't drop fifty quid on what is increasingly looking like an absolute abortion.

Edit: only on console.

 

[ozz ex machina]

This cannot be fuckin' real. I'm dying.

Fuck Take Two, fuck R*.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Half an hour into SA. Performance mode looks and runs well. But the one big issue I have is the contrast. Everything dark gets crushed. I already reduced the contrast to a quarter and the crushing still happens. Maybe turn off HDR?

 

[CircusOfValues]

Thought my tv settings were off. Nope, just no lighting on characters.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Where are the dynamic shadows in the night??

 

[Strider Highwind]

I’m playing San Andreas on series x right now…and this is probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen on my CX….and I don’t mean the old graphics, folks will see when they finally get to play it-I’m not gonna diss it much lol

Im going back to battlefield lol.
