I remember when they promised Next Gen for PC to come a few months after PS5 and Series X. They lied.
I figured the PC version would look and play signifigantly better than the "next gen" version still...
Unless you mean the subscription stuff or something. What's it got that PC doesn't?

A fair amount of graphical improvements, actually. It started off as barely anything, just improved fire effects, burnouts and glass shards, with the only ray tracing option being RT shadows, but sometime later they actually bothered to add proper ray traced reflections.
Still wouldn‘t recommend buying a ninth gen console, and no, car mirrors still don’t work.

I must not be as much as an autist as i thought. What does all of this mean and why is it such a big deal?

Realistically I think it means nothing for GTA 5 at this point, modders and hackers were already rampant on online, The big deal is the fact Rockstar has had 2 major leaks within a bit over a year, which doesn't look good for them or their security team.

Code quality is a factor, too. If it turns out the game is coded like some pajeet's leetcode project (you just know it is), R* North are going to have egg on their faces.
 
I wish it could have been RDR1 just to see if its code really is as shitty as it's rumored to be.
If attempting to emulate RDR1 has taught me anything.
It has to be poorly optimized.
You can’t tell me that I can emulate Skate 3 on PS3 with great stability even with some slow downs when a lot is going on. Only to boot RDR1 and have it sitting at a cool 4 fps during cutscenes (10 in game)
 
Spent all night and morning reading through code and looking for stuff that is personally interesting to me until I passed out
Boy oh boy, this stuff is really really enterprise
Reading through files I can see all sorts of really clumsy hacks and band aids
Like, I'm reading through the code to investigate vehicles better and suddenly there's some check if the vehicle in question is a Banshee 900R

Remember when the Banshee 900R and Sultan RS were released and everybody and their mother were complaining that the Banshee 900R's performance was so shitty?
They decided to fix it by literally hardcoding bullshit into the "automobile" code as a check for that specific vehicle
I mean, now I'm confident I'm the only GTA5 player who knows exactly what this thing's engine upgrades do, but I can't help but shake my head at this retardation
 
Another question: the leaked source code, is it for the PC version or earlier console versions? If Bully 2 leftovers are in the code, that tells that Bully 2 was in development or preproduction when GTA V released.
 
EIGHT.

EIGHT SINGLE PLAYER DLCS. ALL CANNED.

No wonder everyone fucking good left.
Including one for Liberty City. The absolute state of Rockstar to even think of scrapping that.

Am I crazy optimistic for thinking the "Manhunt Pack" is referencing their Manhunt series instead of something police related. They haven't acknowledged this IP for years.

The source code is almost entirely the same
There's just <1% of "if playstation this, if pc steam release that"

Hardware limitations with the PS3/360, I can understand. Now, there's no excuse. I would've loved to have a prologue with Michael/Trevor or Franklin. This just reeks of laziness and complacency from GTA Online.
