San Andreas; the game that was always fun.

Chucked in gta4 just the other night. Game engine was good but it just didn't have that fun replay value of San Andreas…

Although shotgunning drivers in the face is still pretty fun.

looks like an exciting story for once! however, it also could be taking the 'setpiece' path and showing all the best parts through cutscene...

Also really keen to see if it FINALLY gets away from the all-missions-are-favours-for-people-you-dont-like-and-who-manipulate-you-and-are-usually-batshit-crazy-and-probably-usually-die-anyway-even-though-you-wish-you-could-have-killed-them-10mins-into-the-game

Only recently started watching Burn Notice... and straight away thought 'this is just like GTA!'

they said they need more time.

Dear all,

Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.

We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.

To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.

Yours,

The GTA Team

meh i can wait.

:banana:

tell that to GT5

hahaha ^this

i'd rather them take a few more months to have a well made game, than release a broken game early/on time

hopefully the R18+ classification rating is all sorted and running by then

R18 is here. Itl all be g.

In saying that about GT5 though.... It was still not even half as good as forza 4 rofl. They focused on graphics rather than hardcore gameplay. GTA is a massive game though so it takes a long time to polish it. GTA IV was secretly just an engine tester haha GTA 5 will be amazing. However im a bit sketchy of the whole you play multiple characters. I miss having 1 character that you can eat heaps and get fat or go to the gym and bulk up haha

I know they arent into PC ports, but maybe theyre planning on doing one same time as release?

OR (and most likely)

theyre working with new Dev tools

Thats exactly what I was thinking, however if they say they are still polishing the console version then I wouldn't count on it.

It sucks for us PC players who usually have to wait a year after console release..

From a financial standpoint it would make sense for Rockstar to dellay the release for PC due to massive piracy of the game once its out on PC

What I am confident about this time is that they would have Ironed out a lot of porting issues and ineficiencies for the PC release.

LOL yeah right. the ports are getting worse with each release... San Andreas was bad, GTA4 was an abomination. same engine, so it might be a bit better, but still run like balls i reckon

If you compare performance with the first release and the latest patch there have been massive improvements. GTA5 will basically just GTA4 with new content so im confident this port will run the same or better than the last.

If it runs worse on console than GTA4 - which has a terribly bad fluctuating framerate then I would be concerned.

I agree the PC releases apear to run slower on PCs, but remember you are most likely doubling the resoloution from what consoles nativly run - PS3 and 360 only run GTA4 at 1280x720 and the earlier releases at standard TV res.

Fingers crossed it's not a disaster, eitherway I will be buying it and potentially optimize certain features myself as I have done with GTA4

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
