I found a first comparison video between the PS4 and PS5 versions. It looks much more improved than you would think. The draw distance is hugely improved. Also, it looks like they completely changed the color grading in some scenes.

The load times are disappointing on PS5 i think but I guess the game would have to be entirely remade from the ground up to take advantage of the PS5 SSD to see the kind of load times HFW has. I mean HFW is a way more beautiful game and loading time from the menu is only 2-3 seconds.

Looks better than I expected to be honest.

 

[NickFire]

Looks alright to me. The $10 price tag makes it look real good even.

 

[ckaneo]

Why are youtubers always posting 60 fps comparisons lol. I dont give a fuck about 60fps when im watching. Let me see the resolution mode

 

[TVexperto]

how are people playing this already on ps5?

 

[rushgore]

I don't get how a 2013 PS3 game can't run at 60 fps in all of its versions in 2022 on a PS5 / Xbox Series X...

I also don't get how a 2001 PS2 game can't run at 60 fps in all of its versions in 2022 on a PS5 / Xbox Series X... (looking at you GTA3 remastered)

 

[Agent_Nobody]

They’re obviously from New Zealand.

 

[Pagusas]

what happen to the water? It looks like white caps are gone and it just looks way worse.

 

[Duchess]

Got until June to collect on the £9 offer, so going to wait for DF and others to do a thorough investigation.

Yes, I'm one of the few gamers that still hasn't played GTA 5.

This looks quite a bit better.

 

[Doctor Hades]

To be fair, I would have been happy with a resolution bump and 60 fps framerate for the PS4 version running on the PS5 but since Rockstar don't do "free" current-gen upgrades then that was never going to be an option. I think this looks better than I was expecting. It's not a remake, it is still very much GTA V but it now looks much closer to the PC version maxed out, possibly better in some areas such as lighting and textures. I just want to play this game on console at a resolution higher than 1080p. Same for Red Dead Redemption 2 as well, which I'm sure we will get a paid for upgrade of at some point, hopefully with a remaster version of the first game (which never came out on PC).

 

[Swift_Star]

Disgusting load times.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

I wonder if Rockstar has finally managed to figure out how to do hdr properly?

 

[SLB1904]

Famn I remember playing this game as a kid

 

[01011001]

so what is raytraced here exactly? I see no evidence of RT reflections and the lighting, if it is enhanced, doesn't look drastically different from the PC version

It's only shadows in performance RT mod. Some reflections (car, large water bodies) added in fidelity mode, albeit at 30fps.

ok, weird

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Pure performance mode it is then. Just glad to have it patched to 4K/60 after there being no Pro/One X patch. Anything else visually is a bonus.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I’m pretty sure the early to mid 2000s PS2 “definitive” trilogy also have a fidelity 30 and performance 60 on PS5. Even after all of the patches done by Rockstar themselves and not Grove Street Studios. Which is just mind boggling.

 

[Star-Lord]

Slightly off-topic; is that your YouTube channel?

 

[01011001]

I watched a fidelity mode video, and still can't see RT reflections anywhere, not on cars at least.
the videos aren't the best but it looks almost identical to the performance mode video

Got to play some Fidelity mode today. It's ok i guess. Game locked up on me and froze 3 times. GG Rockstar. here's some Fidelity Mode gameplay

 

[Tazzu]

Is there any way to play this early? I live in the UK and have it preloaded.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

this is completely fake and a modded PC version

Did they also mod in the controller button prompt from the dualsense controller?

Move to Australia, it's Tuesday there...

Just wait until midnight...

Probably?

Compare it to this other user's video

It's fake

[purpletentacle]

what happed to the smog and water? thats a pretty big downgrade from the OG. also not sure I love the new color timing. the more natural California white light has been replaced with piss yellow hue.

otherwise, does looks nice and sharp.

Edit: Ah, looks like the smog and white-caps are there in fidelity mode. pretty big sacrifices for RT if you ask me.

Where do you see controller prompts in that video

Me neither. Will wait for this too. Videos and gameplay to see.

 

[Bulletbrain]

Will have to wait till the inevitable DF video. But it wouldn't surprise me if RT implementation turns out to be very very basic.

given that I basically can't tell what it is used for in these video, yeah... seems VERY basic. maybe global illumination or something, so slight bounce lighting here and there or something

 

[lughnasadh123]

GTAV is better than RDR2 imo.

It's not even the best GTA game. RDR2 is in a whole other league.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

What the hell is this?

A quick cashgrab???

This video is 100% fake can compare it to mrdalekjd video and doesn’t match up at all

 

[MisterXDTV]

You just know that the $10 patch is coming for RDR2 as well...

 

[01011001]

RDR2 is a terrible game... GTA5 is mediocre... both aren't anywhere near great

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

Where do you see controller prompts in that video

PS5 no

Xbox yes, you can set the console region to New Zealand and it will unlock after a console restart.

 

[TVexperto]

it becomes abundantly clear why they dropped the “Expanded and Enhanced” subtitle, there’s zero expansion to be seen

 

[01011001]

Did they also mod in the controller button prompt from the dualsense controller?

you can easily mod those yes. there has been PS4 button promt mods for the PC version in the past, so modding in PS5 versions should be very easy, maybe even as easy as quickly modifying the PS4 buttons mod.

I think I even saw a DualSense Trigger mod in the past that adds trigger effects

 

[DeepEnigma]

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad for it.

RDR2 is a terrible game...

Terrible post.

That’s just a ps4 prompt plus you can just compare it to other videos out there that this is fake

 

[01011001]

Terrible post.

it's ok if you like games with absolutely awful controls, the worst gunplay in history and missions designed in such a linear way that a single wrong step outside an arbitrary an divisible boundry will give you a game over... IN AN OPEN WORLD GAME none the less

terribly designed game with absolutely god awful controls

On OPs video, the dpad prompts for the DualSense are white.

True. Though, I'll take half the time being displayed there for GTA.

You just suck at the game. It's okay. Not every game can be mastered by everyone.

 

[ethomaz]

Well GTA is a better game is terms of design and missions… and plays good… the opposite of RDR2.

You can really see where Rockstar put more effort into.
