Official Trailer (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/cool.gif)

http://www.rockstargames.com/V/

Noticed there is a GTA III app for Android. £2.99.

Tried it briefly on my brothers Xoom (tablet)...looked pretty good and controls seemed ok.  Not bought it for my Sensation yet but tempted (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3&hl=en.

I have it on the iPhone & iPad, it is great on the iPad but fiddly on the iPhone.
Amazing as it is though to have it as a mobile game though! (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)


GTA V -

I was watching that the other night when I couldn't sleep.... Can't wait. A rumour going around is if you drive from the center of the city out to the country side it will taje 15 mins (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif) (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)

Thats pretty good for L.A. (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
Just been looking at some stuff, and it looks truly HUGE, the mountain in the video actually looks like a mountain, there's also a few interesting cars (and aeroplanes see the fast jet?) in the video incl what looks like a 3rd gen/2nd gen F-Body hybrid about 3/4 of the way through.

On the Aeroplanes note, GTA San Andreas had planes and they were a good addition to that game even on its scale which will be many times smaller than V by the looks of it.
I also hope they don't include Las Vegas this time, (it seems its all LA based) as the whole LV Strip & Casino rivalry thing has been done so many times its getting a bit old.

I'm sure there will be a load of new info this year as from that vid it looks like they're pretty well into development, it also looks a little better than GTA:IV but not too much so you won't need a Monster PC to run it, as the game will still be using the GTA:IV engine just tweaked a bit.

Looking forward to playing this (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/cool.gif)

have to have a look when home but sounds good (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)

Well this is now out on the consoles, PC release will probably be middle of next year.

For any of you with the console version I have created a "Crew" in Rockstar social club called "MKB Motor City V"

PC Release date seems to have been confirmed as November 22nd 2013 (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif) (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/beavisnbutthead.gif)

ooo may have to ask that as b/day pressie...........then hold onto it till next year when i can afford a new pc lol

Surprisingly quick.

Guess I'll need a hardware upgrade. (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)

I may be able to help with that... Probably not until next year though for a full setup ;)

What do you mean?  I only upgraded 5 years ago!! (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif)

Wouldn't even play the last GTA (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rofls.gif)


Maybe I'm getting to that age where I should just by a mac.... nah (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/tongue.gif)

I think I upgraded around the same time !

(Mine plays GTA4, though)

Yeah you splashed out on a new graphics card at the same time though.

Probably.  I don't remember.  It's clearly done well, though !

(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/up.gif)

Indeed mines still going strong and much faster with Windows 8 on it, played every game other than GTA4 that I've tried on it (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)

Probably wont bother upgrading it though, if it goes pop I'll replace it with a Surface Pro or similar.

Want a 2.5 gen Camaro / super bird crossover?...

Yes?

Yeah, lets hope they don't move it again!



Yeah 'tis a fair old amount!!

Interesting 'advert' on steam tonight:



Makes me kinda interested in pre-buying it, as doubt the price come down much between now & then.....(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

Sorted mine yesterday (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/greenrocket.gif) (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/beavisnbutthead.gif)

Will my P.C run it without upgrading ? (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/dontknow.gif) (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/stupid.gif)

Hmm can't remember what exact CPU / Gfx card you got - if you go into device manager (click start and then type in device manager), then expand the processor section, what does it say and how many, then same for Graphics.

Roger, will check.  (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/security.gif)

You remember what playing LA Noire was like?

Its a more complex, detailed game built on a similar engine, so It'll be like that but slower.

L.A Noire was O.K - There was a funny bug that I Googled and changed a setting for to sort out, but apart from that it was O.K.

Probably passed time for an upgrade, though, anyway.  (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)

Yeah, someone was planning to buy a shiny new PC making a newer one available but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon now (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/whistle.gif)

Well just bought it so lets hope between now & then the money comes in so i can get new pc to play it on lol!!

AMD Phenom II X2 560 Processor

AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series

48.7 GB free (!!!)

Suggestions on upgrades welcome . . . I'm thinking 2 TB HDD as I'm rapidly filling up the existing one with pictures . . I could lower the file size but, ah, f*ck it !

(http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/tongue.gif)

That's prob need upgrading as even teh Min spec wants Quad core and yours is dual core cpu.

Graphics card might be OK, not sure what memory yours got, but possibly might need upgrade as well.



wow not much there - have you gone through and deleted the old saved stuff from when i rebuilt your PC, think it somewhere on the C drive, and there was a fair amount of Gb in there....



Yup definately, possibly CPU upgrade IF the system board can take a higher CPU (will have a look when next over at the system board make/model), if not then poss new CPU & m/b combo (there are some good deals on OverClockers at the min for mobo / cpu / ram combo deals)

No . . Is it all duplicate stuff in there ?

I can't see any stuff I'd want to keep . . . (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)

I think it's mostly old stuff, that i wasn't sure if you ( A ) needed it or ( B ) we'd copied elsewhere, probably worth a 10/15 min go through and check and delete if not.

ALso, somewhere in that folder will be the Steam Library of all teh old games, if you have re-downloaded them all, delete this old directory as that'll free up a fair amount straight away!!

There's over 200 GB in there . . . couldn't see anything I wanted, and yes, I've downloaded any games I'm likely to play again - I assume any new save data from steam is going into another folder ?

I did delete a few bits last night but it was telling me they're registry files so I got scared and stopped.  (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/sofa.gif)

That said, again, these should all be duplicates, right ?

Yup steam should be saving to either C:\Games\Steam, C:\Steam or C:\Program Files\Steam - if so then you should be fine to remove the folder in the 'backup' folder location.



Hmm, so long as you are defo in the old / backup folder should be fine - think it complaining as i will have backed up the windows files for safety so it probably doesn't like you deleting them, but again so long as you in the backup folder, should be fine.



Yup (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/crossed.gif)

Deleted most of that lot, but the windows stuff needs authorisation from "TrustedInstaller" . . . . . !  (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/sofa.gif)

Cool, will sort that out when we got a min and your PC is on

Just checked on Steam and the release date has been pushed back to April 14th

Quote from: FUBAR on March 24, 2015, 12:38:30 AMand the release date has been pushed bac

Shocker . . . is that 2016 ?  :smirk:

Not that my machine is ready for it but it really does p!ss me off them keep delaying it . . . I can't believe it's not ready - they're just doing it now for effect.

IMO this delay is more than likely to put the sales revenue figures into the 2015/16 financial year... they've obviously had a good enough year through 2014/15

bummer it delayed (yet) again, but least it gives me a change to sort me PC out before lol!

It Pushes the release to after the Gadget Show  :wink:

Any ideas on what I'd need to upgrade in order to get it to work (without lag) on my P.C ?

After that chat round yours, Ryan, I'm tempted to pack Sammy and Jensen away to her Dad's and have a weekend GTAV'ing it up !!!  :beavisnbutthead:

I can't look at gaming sites at work because they're blocked, but if you google "gta 5 pc specs" you'll see pages that tell you the official reccomendations.  you want to aim for the recommended specs (or close too)

 :yup:

Ok here's the specs from R* website:

Recommended specifications:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 CPUs)
Memory: 8GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD7870 2GB
Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
HDD Space: 65GB
DVD Drive

To get that on Overclockers you'd be looking at something like £700 (£820 if you need to buy windows 7):

This as a Base, from their motherboard bundles section, provides the CPU needed, double the RAM (because windows needs some too) and a decent cooler, these are additional options:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/ryanbudd/Dean%20PC%201_zpsi5y73aj1.jpg)

Then this is the best bang for your buck on a GFX card at the moment IMO, this is slightly better than my current one (but I have 2 :)) and is the same price as ones down the register a bit, but with twice the memory:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/ryanbudd/Dean%20PC%202_zpsfcl7j21a.jpg)
(To go from a GTX 770 to a GTX 780 which is not 'that' near the top of the tree these days costs another £120)

To power the above I'd imagine you'd need a Power supply too, something like this is a good option:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/ryanbudd/Dean%20PC%203_zpsxfpacyvr.jpg)

Construction Tech Support Free from either me or Ian, (you will also need windows 7 at least, not sure if you're using that already, this is another £117 for 64bit professional)

Edit: I just ran an approximation of a PC setup based on the above through a "Power supply Calculator" & it said 500w power supply minimum, I'd say 600w minimum and 700w recommended for some "Head room"

Looks a good spec and not bad price

You can still buy Windows 7?  :o :o

Why would you when 8.x has been out for years and 10 is out in a few months..  :pass:

I know everyone from Win 7 onwards gets a free upgrade to Win 10 but still..

EDIT: Pretty sure I have a genuine copy of Windows 7 Pro kicking around somewhere.. :chiny:

Because win 7 is soooo much better on a non touch screen device :tongue:

(Oh and dean already has a genuine licensed copy of W7 Pro 64 Bit)

£700 ?

Wow, everything but the case, basically, yeah ?  :lol:

:chiny:

If you say so.. I used it for years without a touch screen... as has my 60 year old mum.. :P

Meh, personal preference i guess then, i just prefer the layout of W7 vs 8.1,  have tried it on PC and got fed up with it - spose if it was only option you'd get used to it quick enough...but hey ho

Will have to have a think . . . was planning on getting a bigger hard drive on the next upgrade, too.

I was kinda budgeting £500 for the "gaming" part of the upgrade and then the hard drive on top. 

I assume my motherboard isn't compatible / usable anymore ?

TBH if you don't need to buy windows 7 a new HDD would be a very sensible idea, I don't know when you last changed your HDDs but having a new one is always good, even just for peace of mind.

As for motherboards, your one is no longer compatible with the processors needed for a new setup

Yeah, thought so.  :can:

Same for me TBH, I just prefer the way it works, I've used 8.1 on the laptop at work and I always find it a bit 'clunky'
Windows 10 is supposed to be 1/2 way between 7 and 8.1 on its looks & functionality so that will be my next step one day.

Quote from: Roadkill on March 26, 2015, 11:48:39 AMYeah, thought so. 

For a similar price to Windows there is:
2TB - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-410-WD&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1955

3TB - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-413-WD&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1955

Yeah it's a bit too close to win 7 for me atm ..hoping they make it better for touch screens, but anywho as I said it will be free for a year for anyone on win 7 upwards..even dodgy copies apparently..

Quote from: Incursus on March 26, 2015, 12:33:10 PMit will be free for a year for anyone on win 7 upwards

Free for a year?... does that mean it's going subscription based like the new Office is?  Sux A LOT if it is :rtfm:

Sorry I should have worded that better..free to upgrade for a year. :wink:
