PS3 GTA 5 Was NOT What I Expected – Part 1



🎉 DARKVIPERAU’S $6,767 USD GTA 6 GIVEAWAY! Enter here:
GTA 6 is coming and I’m marrying the love of my life! Obviously one of those is more important, but both deserve celebrating. 🙂
I’m giving away $6,767 USD to six lucky winners! Five will receive $1,128 USD each, and one will receive $1,127 USD.
Put it towards a PS5 Pro and GTA 6, or spend it on whatever you want. Good luck!

I went back to the original 2013 version of Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 3 to discover how much Rockstar changed over the years, before GTA VI arrives. With over 15,000 hours in GTA 5, I put my knowledge to the test on the original PS3 release, exploring the differences in graphics, lighting, character models, physics, vehicle spawning, weapon controls, mission design, and gameplay mechanics. From forgotten details and removed features to old-school GTA speedrun strategies, glitches, and the surprisingly impressive performance of a game running at 720p and 30 FPS, this nostalgic trip through Los Santos reveals just how different the original Grand Theft Auto V really was.

  1. is it really that hard to play on a controller? if im not wrong, matt has done a ps5 speedrun. i remember he was still struggling but after a point you just gotta get it yk. it's honestly not that hard. the driving on controller is genuinely the best out of all. hopefully you can solve all your discrimination against controllers in 1 month and then you might realize that oh its actually not that bad.

  2. First time I played GTA 5, was 2019 on a Phat PS3 it felt so good in terms of graphics and realism. Bc before playing GTA 5 the latest GTA I ever played was GTA SA, so it was always a comparison between GTA SA and GTA 5 in my mind. It was an enormous leap from my point of view at that time.
    I would never forget the hype and the feel of first time playing it at that time.

  3. My first experience of GTA V was on PS3 (hell, that was my first console even)

    Seeing these graphics are making me worry about my homework and highschool groups again 😂

  4. I just thought about it and the PS3 version of gta 5 is the only version I've played I finally decided to play GTA5, but all we owned was A PS3 and 4 version, but we didn't have the PS4 anymore for the dvd so I played on the PS3 instead, over like 6 months

  5. There's this guy named Freako. He's a veteran hacker and researcher of PS3 games. He mostly does this on The Last of Us, but if you'd like, you can contact him somehow to dig up some of the PS3 GTA 5 files. There are definitely some cut features there that aren't in the PC version.
