GTA 5 PS4 and Xbox One details leak from GameStop conference – rumour

Details of Rockstar’s GTA 5 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have allegedly leaked from this week’s GameStop conference in Anahiem.

Rockstar allegedly gave a 45 minute behind closed doors presentation to retailers, stating that it wants to push the two consoles as far as it did with the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, according to this post on Neogaf.

The source – unverified at this time – answered a number of questions on the game, suggesting major graphical improvements across the board:

“1. Character models have been improved for sure.

“2. Street detail is massively improved. Rain water now pools up on the road and honestly reminded me of Infamous Second Sons wet roads.

“3. Animal and Wildlife count has been upped. They specifically mentioned how much they learned from Red Dead Remption and the original GTA5 and wanted to improve animal interactions even more.

“4. Animals now sport actual fur. As in strands of hair that stick out from the actual body not just flat textures like in the original release.

“5. I believe this has been in development since before GTA5s actual release as they said its been heavily worked on for over a year. Believe me you can tell. This is a complete remaster not just an uprezzed port. A huge chunk of staff have to be working on this.”

Rockstar didn’t show much action as the majority of the presentation concentrated on the environment, according to the source.

“I saw 30 minutes of gameplay of this game yesterday,” wrote the leaker. “Guys the changes are astounding. Really incredible stuff. Rockstar said their goal was to push PS4 / X1 like how they pushes PS3 and 360. The environment changes they’ve done are incredible.

“This remaster is the real deal. New trailer should be going out soon.”

Other details include:

“1. I saw this at the GameStop managers conference in Anehiem. Rockstar gave a 45 minute closed doors presentation.

“2. They showed us multiple locals. The city, underwater areas, country side etc.

“3. Foliage has been completely reworked. Tree barks been redone, individual grass blades, wild flowers etc. This applies to underwater areas as well. Completely reworked coral reefs and underwater plants.

“4. Draw distance now is INSANE. One example they showed us was the main city at night. They showed it on PS3 first amd showed us how all lighting at a distance was pre baked. In the remaster its all pre loaded in real time and is dynamic. You can see lights and traffic flow from massive distances.

“5. Water rendering system has been completely redone. Rivers / Ocean / rain are gorgeous

“6. No release date given. They simply said soon.

“7. Animal texture work has been 100 % re done.

“8. Anti Aliasing looked great with little to no jaggies. Looked 1080p to me. It was demoed on PS4.

“9. Promised “new” content. One example was new songs / soundtrack / radio stations.

“10. Best remaster Ive seen by far. I literally gasped at the differences.”

Looks like it's got a release date of November 18th... Maybe I'll play it next year.
