4:05 They look smoother but not realistic ! the old one is realistic, you will miss muzzle in real life if you blink.

Something very interesting about this version is the fact that the color of things reflects around them, for example, if you park a red vehicle next to a wall on a sunny day, the red color reflects on the wall, the same thing with buildings, the color of the buildings also reflects around them

I notices one significant change: on legacy version with mid-low graphics i could barely reach 90 FPS with my laptop GTX 1650Ti, however i enhanced i wanted to see how terrible my FPS will be so i maxed out everything i could in graph settings, the bar on top told me i need much more VRAM than i have and my FPS were almost locked on 120, optimalization on enhanced version is INSANE and i love this

4:01 let's be honest, the original ones is much realistic, cuz realism isn't just by making it smoother, in fact, irl muzzle flashes can be seen in just a moment, and R* thinks this will make it better....

0:23 Even the guy on the right amazed by the glass reflection

[DeadPixel]

Muzzle flash in original version actually looks more realistic. In real life, a muzzle flash is just a bright flash that lasts a fraction of a second. It doesn't look like an animated flame emerging from your gun barrel for half-a-second.

The fact that a game that is almost 13 years old is still getting updates and being played like crazy shows how successful this game is.

What a great comparison the editing photography and quality are so great it made me enjoy watching

[radger]

Finally the gta 5's burnout looks as realistic as gta 4

[ThvMafiahyung]

Has anyone noticed the shockwave during the car explosion😲

[RSpracticalshooting]

RT Global Illumination is just so nice. Everything looks "correct" and natural.

[ScottThePisces]

A lot of the changes are like glue for the world, does that make sense? Look at the visuals at 9:08 and 9:52, it just feels like everything is grounded in the same reality? It's very subtle, but once you see it it's very pleasing.

You did much better job comparing original vs enhanced comparion than other youtuber. Nice..
Tire smoke while burnout looks so good now damn.

[jackeyniraula]

I came here to see the differences other people are noticing lol. I just started playing the Enhanced version and the GTA 5 world looks way stunning than I recall.

1:22 now the lightning is just like gta 5's trailer

[anshulsingh]

Those lights taking real life electricity

[naikoculiao]

Finally a comparison where you can really see a noticeable diference, most videos like this don't compare well cause there are not the same locations/weather/game brightness, well done

I wish they could have polished up some of the textures, assets and models as well as the effects. It also would have been nice if they could have improved the water by adding ripples effects and such like Red Dead 2. It's an upgrade for sure, but compared to the upgrade from PS3 to PS4, this is tiny as it's only lighting, shadows, reflections and some effects that were improved, which players won't notice unless they are looking closely. I would have liked a more noticeable upgrade to the point it is noticeable anywhere at any time.

[PIGEON]

Pretty awesome thing that they gave us this upgrade for free. And it's actually good too!

There's a hidden RT setting in the XML file called secondbounce for indirect lighting. It's set to false by default. Set it to true.
