Alright, who mucked up Grand Theft Auto V's graphics? There'll be some nervous glances at Rockstar North today, as the developer has admitted that this week's "downgrade" story is actually due to a bug. Eagle eyed Reddit users were in uproar a few days ago when it emerged that the title's latest patch had stripped back several visual effects. But according to the developer, it's all just an oversight.
"We are aware of some graphical issues on the PlayStation 4 version of Grand Theft Auto V after the most recent Title Update, and we are investigating a fix now," a spokesperson said. A new patch did actually deploy overnight solving some of the vehicle deformation issues, but – and we're going to go Digital Foundry on your ass for a second – parallax mapping still remains a problem. We recommend heading to the Winchester and waiting for things to blow over.

You said ass. It's time for you to take a vacation.
@THEundying27 While I'd love to go on holiday, I didn't realise that the word 'ass' was a trigger to take one!?
@get2sammyb Is the word ass a swear word in the UK? Just wondering.
In all honesty, at least it wasn't intentional. and it should be fixed in the next update anyway. So this isn't as bad as first thought. But still a good update to know it was not intentional. Thanks sammyb!
@Alpha we much prefer arse. You sir are an arsehole*, get off your lazy arse etc. Its the swearing least likely to get you a kick up the arse from your mother.
*Obviously not actually referring to you personally.
And people acted like those of us who could clearly see a difference had gone mad.
No more a swear so d than jerk. Both american I believe. Nobody uses a**h*le like Arnie.
@get2sammyb ride review incoming?
They should pixelate the entire game on April 1st, that'd be interesting
News to me not really noticed!
Cornetto
@sradmatt Yes, hopefully later today.
love the community of this website so nice to each other
I really can't see a downgrade to be honest it must be really small if there is
I haven't seen v n been slightly concerned about it, since I haven't played it in over a month. It would bug me if I were actually playing though. I'm too into Bloodborne right now to even care about picking this back up anytime soon.
This comments section got flooded with curse words! Gasp!
@Alpha Technically, 'ass' isn't a curse word at all. It's simply another term for a donkey or mule; much like 'bastard' (child born from wedlock) and 'bitch' (female dog).
It's funny how society changes their meanings into things that shouldn't be said! Maybe one day, regular words we use now will be considered filthy swears...
"You filthy tangerine!!!"
(25th century people gasp in unison)
Parallax mapping is important for looking good without melting your home console. Oopsies
@get2sammyb if I said it enough times around here I would most certainly get a vacation handed to me.
@penfold007 Alright, thank you for the clarification. And i assumed you were using examples lol. Thank you!
