New details on enhancements to the current-gen version of Grand Theft Auto V

Although Rockstar is holding tight to his chest cards on the Xbox version One [/play] of [play] PS4 Grand Theft Auto V , some new information on this "remaster" was leaked from a recent demonstration that the software house played in USA during a convention for chain GameStop employees.

A NeoGAF user who was present at the event reported their impressions, explaining he was very impressed by the work of enhancing the game to the point where they think the best remaster ever seen so far. The user explains that Rockstar's changes are simply amazing; Here's a list of what he mentioned, remembering that this is not official information, so please take them as mere rumor until official confirmation.

  • Rockstar said during the event that with that title wants to "push" new console as much as it did with earlier ones, not being satisfied then a simple porting but making the most of their potential
  • Many "natural" elements have been completely redesigned: trees, leaves, blades of grass and flowers have all been recreated from the ground up to take full advantage of the power of the new console, and this also applies to the underwater areas with coral reefs and marine flora completely redesigned.
  • Viewing distance is amazing. While old-gen version of the game the more distant parts of the city were static pre-drawn entities, here everything is rendered dynamically up to great distances. Especially at night the effect is spectacular: we can see the traffic lights move even from great distances.
  • The water rendering system was completely recreated, thus making the sea, rivers and rain absolutely spectacular.
  • When it rains, now you create on the ground of the puddles from the extremely realistic rendering.
  • The level of detail of the roads was greatly increased and there is also twice as many cars in circulation.
  • The number of animals in natural areas has increased in number and, especially, were equipped with all of the "real" game: it is no longer simple textures but a true 3D effect that reproduces the fluff.

As for the release date, however, it seems that Rockstar has not wanted to unbutton saying only that will arrive "soon". It seems, however, that is just outside a big announcement, so we just have to wait.
