@Rioichi21Cooper You must have lucked out. Dan Houser has been harassing me since Oct.1st, calling me at all hours, asking why I haven't tried to connect to GTA recently, blackmailing me if I choose to wait till it's stable, forcing me to keep trying to connect even when it won't, it's terrible!
The engine and simulation techniques they're using must really suck ass if they can't even achieve playable performance with bigger cities. This is such a shaft, the only thing half the people who played this game wanted was a bigger city size, there's no reason to go back and play it with the same tiny city blocks that more the size of a small suburb than a metropolis.
Sure it's the last one they work on, but what's the reason for that? It's because the console versions rake in far more cash... why can't they just be honest and say that?
Cool video. I really like a lot of Ubisoft games but there's no doubt they've become way too patronizing for lack of a better word. They have become far too easy, and not only that, but you're bombarded with how exactly everything should be done (with tool tips, obnoxious markers on screen, overly long tutorials) even when it's almost impossible to fail...
Far Cry 3 and AC3 annoyed me to no end with their constant tips and hints, many of which could not be disabled. Hell even when free roaming in FC3 it would pop up piratically in the middle of the screen to "go here for mission X" every 3 minutes or so.
@Micropixel I believe that, absolutely, like any console, the first games won't really be taking full advantage of the new tech. I imagine seeing a little faster progress this generation though, since the Xbone, PS4 and PC all have pretty much the same architecture, should be easier to develop for each.
