It appears that Rockstar recently held a behind closed doors presentation of GTA V. As NeoGAF’s member ‘The Shogun’ claimed, Rockstar showed a 45-minute demo to GameStop managers in Anehiem. Thankfully, ‘The Shogun’ has managed to share some new details about this remastered version of GTA V, though we strongly suggest taking everything you’re about to read with a grain of salt.
As The Shogun claimed, Rockstar showed the PS4 version of GTA V that was most probably running at 1080p. The game’s draw distance has been tweaked, and its water rendering system has been completely redone. In addition, all animals now have new textures and foliage has been completely reworked.
Here is the complete list of the new information shared by The Shogun:
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.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Let’s do this!
30fps, lol
Probably more like 27fps. Driving flat out and one frame is about one block of a city.
“Remaster” – lol’d.
“Looked 1080p -” – lol’d.
“- on PS4” – /facepalmed.
PC melted in “individual grass blades” 🙁
F*ck being poor!
But remember for optimization, all those individual meshes are usualy mesh combined and texture packed in order to save space and also performance
“Best remaster Ive seen by far. I literally gasped at the differences.”
Because it isn’t remaster . It is original version (remember those screenshots.???) .
But you gotta give some credit to Rockstar there’s new stuff in it compared to the countless quick cash pay offs that all companies now call remasters
Funnily enough thats not an approach most gaming sites are taking, but it does make sense. Build a game for x86 so it will run on PC/PS4/Xbone, then turn down the graphics sliders for the last gen versions. Surely its easier to build for best system then remove things as needed than build for lowest common denominator then add stuff in afterwards?
But can it run………GTA Online Heists?
It all sounds nice but looking at the build logs it points to the PC version having all this first and was just ported to the PS4(since Xbone seems irrevelent to Rockstar now)
It might have AA , but atleast the PC version will have MSAA and all that follows.
and lastly “Looked 1080p to me.”
Anything can look 1080 from a distance and also Rockstar never told them 1080 so for all everybody knows it’s being upscaled with AA to smooth out any jaggies.
STEAM dayONE 4k HighSettings FTW!
Indeed, Haven’t regretted buying my Asus PB287Q once.
Still waiting GTX 970 to play HighSettings…
I’m using 2 Xfire 290s, but i intend to upgrade my 2nd HTPC/ITX Gamepad gaming PC to a 980 reference card with the aim of going 4ktv next year.
Honestly, I don’t believe that Rockstar will allow the PC version be better than the console version, but I hope that at least optimization will be good. Modders will make it shine.
Hopefully, Rockstar will make it shine as well 😉
Seriously, if Rockstar will say that you need GTX 660/760 and 4gb VRAM to play on max settings, then you’ll already know what happened.
Sounds good. Heck, I’m still amazed at the graphics on the last gen versions.
10. Best remaster Ive seen by far. I literally gasped at the differences.
Hm.. as much as i gasp/get shocked when i compare low gfx vs ultra gfx on a new game. This seems like the same case..
Nothing New…

Furfx in ps4 version ?
It’s shader based fur, it’s not the real thing like TressFX or PhysX. It’s like POM in Crysis, looks nice, limited, fake effect.
