BAIT AND SWITCH....RIGHT?

[swifty7]

I've come across some new screenshots from soon to be released GTA V  pc version.  I'm just wondering how much of these screenshots have been doctored to make it look unlike anything else.

 

here we go a few of my favs:

How about we stop trying to figure out if screenshots are doctored and just wait to see the game.

[XTankSlayerX]

I don't think its been modified...

 

It doesn't look like its Crysis 3

 

It looks very good but not amazingly good.

[Comessy]

Doctored? Unlikely. My 970 could do that

[Lolzious]

To be honest, I could see a bit of touching up, but I feel like these are pretty much all legitimate. 

[swifty7]

I say it's all BS like Watch Dogs.

 

here are a few more....

these screenshots are truly too good to be true!  I can only see titan x sli running it at this level @ 4k and even then it's a long shot.

Except the PC trailer showed the same quality as the screenshots. The screenshots are not shopped at all from what I've seen. Those images can be captured at the right moment in the correct lighting. The game will look totally different (should be better) when you're actually in the game rather than looking at screenshots.

Look at current Gen GTA V. Look at these. Seems entirely possible and real to me.

if I recall correctly!  Watch Dogs pc trailers also looked liked jaded screenshots and look how that turned out...LOL!!

 

I truly hope I'm dead wrong.  Don't forget!  GTA IV initial trailers and screenshots also made it out to look(graphically) much better than the actual game.

to me those screenshots looks graphically much better than Crysis 3.   I don't get why people make such big deal of it.

Watch Dogs wasn't doctored either. It actually looked that gorgeous in game -- they just took the effects out after the fact.

We'll see.  They maybe better than what the average gamer is going to see, but they aren't bait and switch.  Bait and switch is when a cherry picked or specifically better version of something is sent to the reviewers and a lower quality production run is sent to the stores for sale.   Given these picks are out there for everyone and the games the reviewers get to look at will be the same as the games you buy over the counter then at best this is just false advertising.

 

Also Bait and switch is usually limited to hardware.

watchdogs had the possibility, but they just blocked it in a stupid it, with a way around(just a line of code change) they got unlocked and the game worked to it's full potential and looked like the trailers, it was just a bitch move form the dev, not the game it's self.

I have some hope for GTA V, since rockstar is quite the developer and doesn't screw around to much.

and of course, in the end there are mods available which allow for better graphics etc, which will make your PC cry for sure.

I'm going to be so glad when GTAV actually comes out so we can move onto threads that either gush about it or complain, all this speculation is pissing me off  :lol:

That's a bit stretching it. Unlocking the original graphics is/was very buggy, so it would be graphically working to it's full potential, but you'd end up with more bugs in an already buggy game. Still a bitch move though, they should've either delayed and coded it properly or been honest to the consumers.

[swifty7]

I only wish GTA V was DX12 compliant.

We can only hope for an update lol. DayZ will run on DX 12 so that's good news.

1.This is not Watchdogs

2.Things have changed since GTA IV

Finished the whole game with the mod. I have no idea what bugs did you find.

[Monkey Dust]

It might be what it looks like running on 4 Titan Xs. Honestly I can't see my single 980 looking that good at reasonable frame rates.

I wish we would stop repeating this dull rumour.

[soulreaper]

I don't know seeing the hardware requirements on steam they are very steep.

I don't personally ever recall seeing a "PC trailer" for watch dogs. All i remember was seeing a nice game at e3 2012, but the game we were seeing after that and what we got in our hands was completely downgraded and different than the reveal.
