I waited until it was on Amazon Prime benefits thing, played for 10 mins and not turned it back on.
I did the same with the new island heist, had the sub for free and didnt return to try it.

The Cayo Perico heist was fine, and nice that you could do it solo. I'm pretty much abandoning it too at the moment though. For me the main pull was earning enough to fill my hangar with the best planes and helis- but I did that, and they hardly ever release new ones.
I'll check out the next gen version when it arrives, but it will have to add a bit more than 4k tuner cars to get me back in.

I know I'm speaking to an empty room here, but has anyone done the new heist yet? I've not played much since the tuner update came out, and didn't even realise the auto shop was set to be a heist base as well as a new business.

I have logged in to claim money but haven't got further than doing my free wheel spin. Maybe when the colder weather comes I'll get back on it.

I know it's not the single player story DLC that everyone wants (or at least thinks they want), but it feels significant that Franklin's a main character in the new online update. www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/ak759k91592728/gta-online-the-contract-out-nowI've not been playing much recently and blew my savings on the auto update, so I need a cayo perico heist and a couple of bunker/nightclub sales before I can afford to buy an Agency and start it. Looking forward to it though, and the new weaponised vehicles.

Looking forward to it though, and the new weaponised vehicles. Update- I bought an Agency and I'm properly back into GTA now. The agency missions add a bit of variety, the banter between Franklin and another returning character is brilliant, and I'm working towards getting one or two of the new cars so I can add a *missile jammer* (haha screw you, Opressor Mk2 griefers). Also, my daughter's started playing it! Not sure how long it will last, but she saw me doing some vehicle cargo missions, did a few herself, and liked it so much she made her own profile. At first it was a depressing reminder of how much of a grind it is for new players, and I have to admit I bought a shark card for the very first time so she could afford a vehicle warehouse and do the thing she enjoyed in the game. But now she's a bit more established and if she keeps it up, I might finally have someone to crew up with in the game...

In any other year I'd be champing at the bit for the current-gen version of GTA. Maybe even setting my region to New Zealand this afternoon. But thanks to a certain other game (*cough* Elden Ring *cough*) taking over everything, I can at least wait for some reviews and comparisons.
I mean I'll blatantly be getting it while it's reduced to £9 for the Online-only version, it's just not a drop-everything purchase any more.

As usual it's classic that they haven't shown anything of the next gen version, it's like they've learnt nothing from the Definitive trilogy fiasco.

Yeah that's more than a little suspicious isn't it. I'm hoping there's less to mess up in a way that's laughably bad, like we saw with the definitive edition. If console peasants get something that's closer in fidelity and performance to the PC version, I'll be happy enough.

It's an in-house upgrade though, isn't it? rather than Definitive which was outsourced to another (mobile) dev. Can't see it being a problem - this is their cash-cow, they won't be fucking with it.

The fact its 8 quid would suggest it'll be a low effort upgrade.

It's GTA5 at a higher resolution/60fps with better LODs and not much else. Although that said I think ray tracing has been added since that trailer so interested to see what that's like. But basically, we're getting the higher end PC version in effect. May get it seeing as it's less than a tenner on PS5, always wanted to try a GTA game at 60fps

I was thinking the other day about how cool it would be to have a GTA game with the Elden World (Breath of the Wild) approach to open world. Just you in a massive city to explore and organically discover the adventure as it unfolds. Hopefully whatever GTA6 is will be a bit less Ubisofty in its approach. Does feel like open world games are moving on a bit.

Does feel like open world games are moving on a bit. There is hope considering Rockstar sort of did that in Read Dead Redemption. It felt so organic finding new things to focus on in the first game, and it wouldn't be to much for them to expand this to side missions and the like. Not sure how much of the main story should be hidden away, but I love how it's done in Elden so it could work very well in GTA6.

Early word on the street is that the Dualsense stuff is very well done and Performance RT works nicely.

I watched some YouTube videos showcasing RT next to the PS4 version. Not sure if they were bullshit click baits or had the wrong video up but I couldn't tell a difference in any reflections and the videos did seem to want to showcase puddles. Frame rate and higher resolution looks nicer but the textures look pretty muddy and low.

Seen a couple of Reddit threads pop up as it has released in some regions from what I can gather.

What is the RT supposed to be, reflections? Lighting? Shadows?

Well Rockstar have managed to screw the pooch quite considerably if you're a loyal customer. As it presently stands if you had a PS4 or Xbox One GTAO character that you transferred to PC when it first came out you are unable to transfer your PS4/XBO character to PS5/XS.
When that console -> PC transfer happened it was basically a copy operation, your console character and PC one were identical but would diverge from each other like a different time line. Which was fine, anything you did or didn't do on each platform you knew wouldn't have impact on the other. I played on PC online very briefly just to try it out but kept going on PS4 as that's where my friends were.
So now with the new version I can't transfer my GTAO character I started on Xbox 360 then continued on PS4 because I also copied it to PC.
I've got over 28 days of play with my GTAO character, tons of vehicles, properties, businesses etc, I'm not starting again.
They need to fix this pretty sharpish.

Looked at some videos and honestly I'm not really seeing much of a difference if I'm being honest, sure it's 60fps and whatnot but man it feels like they're just scraping that barrel for more money from GTA online.

From the video I watxhed its 60fps and sharper. Absolutely no difference other than that.

Can you do the time zone switch on PS5? I've done it on Xbox in the past.
Got this preloaded on PS5 and I'll maybe finish today game this time. Not bothered with the Online - that boat has long since sailed.
Went PS5 as it was cheaper and dualsense. Hoping it makes some decent use of it.

It's not surprising they dropped the expanded and enhanced name, it's really not.
