I achieved 5K resolution after wrestling with custom resolutions in the Nvidia control panel for a while, and I endured a ton of crashes, but it is doable. Because GTA looks so damn good in places (and in others, well, you'll notice I avoided faces), I decided to use this power to compose some pretty photos at a lovely 5120x2880. The great thing about the editor is that it doesn't just record gameplay clips: it records the gameplay itself, allowing me to set up shots after the fact and adjust post-processing filters (DOF, for instance). It's why we're enamored with GTA 5's video editor, which has made it easier than ever to be creative (even if it is slightly cumbersome to use) in the series' highest-fidelity world. Half the fun of GTA is A) doing stupid stuff and B) making stuff, stupid or otherwise.

Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and its audiobook, and The Earthborn Trilogy, also on audiobook. Subscribe to my free weekly content round-up newsletter, God Rolls. If Rockstar is going to do something similar, they’re running out of time.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. The Mass Effect remastered trilogy, for instance, went to great lengths to show just how much had been improved well before launch, both visually and in terms of gameplay improvements. Usually when we see remasters, it’s the complete opposite. And using a singular piece of art to advertise an entire remaster is just strange. It’s not like Rockstar doesn’t need to market this at all with so many other big games coming out in November. I have to imagine something like that is coming soon. How much better is it than the original? How much better will it look on PC or PS5 compared to Switch or Xbox One? I suppose Rockstar knows that a certain portion of the player population will buy the remaster sight unseen but…why? Why wouldn’t they start rolling out spots for it or even releasing screenshots this close to launch? It’s very weird.

Look, I’m not expecting these games to look incredible or anything when they do arrive, but to be three weeks out from launch and not have so much as a single trailer showing how the remaster looks is flat-out bizarre. Rockstar has an entire page online for the remastered trilogy now, but literally all it shows is just the old promotional art for each game.
