If GTA V did Battlefield 1, this is what it would look like

Grand Theft Auto V: Battlefield 1
Remaking the trailers of other games and movies within Grand Theft Auto V has been something gamers have been doing ever since the anarchy simulator was released. So it’s no surprise that now that the recent trailer for Battlefield 1 created such a buzz, it’s been remade in GTA V too.

Okay so there’s SWAT armor, modern weaponry, and a few characters that we don’t think were alive during World War I, but Youtuber J57F has done a great job of recreating the trailer, shot for shot. There’s a crop-dusting callback to the airplanes of old, bombing runs, brutal hand-to-hand combat and even the iconic blimp shot at the end.

There are no horses admittedly, but there are motorbikes and willing riders, which is basically the same, right?

Though this does take a lighthearted approach to the latest title in the Battlefield series, where DICE is taking us back to the past instead of further into the future, Battlefield 1 has received an impressive push from fans and critics alike. Unlike Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, which stacked up the most dislikes of any video on YouTube in just a few days, Battlefield 1 has seen more views, more likes and more interest from shooter fans.

While there are still many months ahead before either game releases, the early round in the regular brawl between two of the biggest FPS franchises in gaming is off to a good start, with EA and its DICE-developed title certainly taking first blood.

What do you think of the new Battlefield? Does heading back to World War 1 for the first time get you excited for the franchise, or did you want something a bit more like Infinite Warfare, which takes us into the realm of sci-fi, rather early 20th-century warfare?

Microsoft has announced the titles that are entering and exiting its Xbox Game Pass service in August. The biggest name is Grand Theft Auto V, which will be leaving the platform on August 8 for both cloud and console play. In exchange, Microsoft is adding indie heavyweights like Hades, Katamari Damacy Reroll, and two entries in the Skate franchise to Game Pass in August. Starting on August 10, the service will also feature several titles from racing game developer Codemasters, including Dirt 4, F1 2020, and more.

Xbox Game Pass encompasses traditional console gaming on Xbox, PC gaming through Windows, and cloud gaming for a variety of mobile devices. Each of the games coming this month is available on one or more of these three platforms. All of this month's titles are available on PC, with the exception of Skate 3 and Skate, which are available on cloud gaming and console, respectively.

The best graphics settings for GTA V

Grand Theft Auto V is still a demanding game in 2021, even putting the best graphics cards in their place. If you have a new RTX 3000-series graphics card -- first, lucky you -- and a recent CPU from Intel or AMD, you should be able to tear through GTA V without any issues.

We tested all of the graphics settings in GTA V to find which ones made a difference and which ones didn't. You can vastly improve your frame rate without giving up much visual quality if you know what settings to tweak.
How we tested the best graphics settings for GTA V
We tested each of GTA V's graphical settings at 1080p using the internal benchmark. 1080p is, by far, the most common resolution for PC games. GTA V's benchmark has five scenes, each of which produces a frame average. We took those averages and averaged them again to get a single number for each of the graphical settings.

The best weapons in Battlefield 5
Battlefield V Best Weapons

Years after its launch, Battlefield V still maintains a dedicated player base. Over the course of its life, Battlefield V added multiple free expansions to the game, including maps, weapons, and factions inspired by the Pacific Campaign. Battlefield V never had the sort of weapon meta that a game like Call of Duty: Warzone boasts. However, there are obviously a handful of weapons that are just better than the rest. Here are the best weapons to still be using in Battlefield V multiplayer.

The following guide will be broken up into sub-sections based on each class is Battlefield V: Assault, Medic, Support, and Recon. We'll then follow up with some helpful tips for melee weapons and break down the game's best explosive equipment. These weapons are tiered towards standard multiplayer. Those lucky enough to even find an active Firestorm lobby will be equally lucky to find one of these weapons on the map.
