I honestly don't think those images look all that. I mean they are OK, but
nothing great, and I can see quite a few jaggies in those images also.

Unless it's changed dramatically from GTA3 -- which it might, for all
I know -- the 'huge open world' only exists within about a block of
the player and vanishes when you get further away. Or, in some of the
games, even if you turn your back.

For a console, perhaps. But that one looks sub-Half Life 2 to me... I
certainly hope the PC version looks better.

I was quite impressed by the original trailer, but those shots really
don't look too good. Some seem to have a lot of detail in places, but
others look like low-poly models with low-res textures.

When is est. release date for the PC version?

Also, any words yet on possible system requirements?

in this wonderful series,would it kill them to include a first person
angle? I really ama amazed how they create these incredible
enviroments and then dont include the angle that makes you feel as if
you are right there rather than over the shoulder of soem other guy.

I think the screens look great, its just that I love the
bright,sunny,and clean enviroments of san andreas over the gritty,run
down looking envoriments of GTA4.

I would also love if someone would succesfully create a dawn of the
dead version wheer a whole city is overrun with zombies, or aliens.

They all look pretty good IMO.

If they utilized the extra space of the Blu-ray ROM disc, that
wouldn't be a problem.

Oddly enough, I was thinking yesterday how fun it would be to have a
sandbox Resident Evil.

If somone came up with a game that threw the best elements of
Carmageddon, GTA, RE and included some sort of puzzle in the gameplay
they could make a packet.


Cheers,
Rob

no. wrong.

there is NO way the PS2 or Xbox could do that. have you seen GTA3,
GTA VC and GTA SA ? on PS2 or Xbox? GTA4 is well above that.

PLUS there's something you are forgetting, GTA 4 has to be rendered in
HD resolution, probably 720p, which demands 3 TIMES the pixel fillrate
performance JUST to get to that resolution, before the actual graphics
become more detailed, before lighting is improved, etc.

Xbox 360 and PS3 only have about 4 times the pixel fillrate of PS2/
Xbox, and alot of that gets used up to goto HD res. Xbox 360 has
about 4 times the polygon performance of Xbox, but maybe more when
pixel shaders are used (Xbox performance drops off more)...

what I am saying is, the improvement in graphics while not absolutely
massive, is pretty significant. the lighting is much better. textures
are far sharper. fire and explosions look alot better. go back to
PS2/Xbox GTA games and tell me if you still think GTA4 looks like a
last-gen game.

omg, this game has Xbox/PS2 graphics. I Hope the gameplay makes up for
it, because I liked the other GTA's
