Ben T is a gamer and early information provider when it comes to Rockstar and Take Two Interactive products. Earlier today, he tweeted out numerous screenshots and clips showcasing the improved visuals of GTA 5 next-gen.
The clip above shows a pan around the Vinewood sign, overlooking Los Santos. Ray Tracing, 60 FPS and improved draw distance changes are clearly visible.
Another screenshot comparison shared by BenT pits the Fidelity mode against the Performance Mode. Fidelity mode targets the best visuals at 30 FPS, while the Performance mode targets 60 FPs for smoother gameplay.
The insider also went on to mention that the reflections during rainy weather are just amazing. The images clearly show the amount of improvement the game offers on next-gen machines.
Another Twitter user and GTA gamer posted a screenshot taken at Innocence Boulevard. A Newswire post by Rockstar also had a similar screenshot. The in-game version does more than justice to the showcased screenshot. The lighting, shadows and reflections have been completely overhauled.
Hopping back to BenT, he also shared a screenshot showcasing the fire effects. The picture shows a GTA Online character firing a weapon. The fire from the gunshot can be seen very clearly. The rain effects are also on point.
