We'd definitely recommend taking a trip to the Vinewood Hills and activating first-person mode - one of GTA 5's biggest new features - to take it all in.
With more people populating the city and extra wild animals roaming the countryside, GTA 5 feels more alive than ever.īeing able to see this stunning landscape through the eyes of the protagonist makes the game world appear even more beautiful than before. When you fly a stolen plane back to Trevor's airstrip, for example, you're not seeing a virtual world being built before your eyes it's already there waiting to be explored. I think its the drivers OR direct X OR windows 10 OR a combination of all of them. The graphical upgrades are particularly evident when you take the time to walk around Los Santos and Blaine County, as you get to appreciate the little details, whether it's the puddles that form during a particularly severe thunderstorm, or the way the new plants sway realistically in the wind.Įxtended draw distances - something you really notice on higher ground - makes it easier than ever to become lost in the game world. Textures pop in, grasses fade in, there is a 1 meter bubble around you that when you walk closer to a shadow it cleans the image up but when you walk away, disappearing or fading, blurry shadows.
