Am I the only one who thought gta 4 looks horrible graphically?

Still? I actually think that spiderman 3 the game looks then it

you got the worst looking screens

and you know how hard it will be to make a game as big as this fantastic?

Are you kidding me? Those pictures look stunning for a Grand Theft Auto game.

In fact, I think they look too good to be true.

You probably aren't the only one but I think it looks great. You've got to realize here the scale, level of detail, and amount of stuff going on all at once. It's either big scale like GTA and Lair. Or small scale with super detail like Mass Effect cut-scenes.

Personally I really prefer the huge open game with tons of stuff going over a couple pretty character models.

Uuuh, Mass Effect is on the big scale.

And I know games were never about the graphics, and I really couldn't care if GTA has good or bad graphics, but saying it's on the big scale isn't really an excuse (well it is, I guess), because other games like Oblivion, Morrowind, Gothic 3 all capture big worlds with great graphics.

But I'm not complaining, they really don't look that bad, and hell, when you're crusing through the city it'll look awesome anyway.

One Big Step for GTA fans..one little step for ppl new 2 the series...

The new GTA4 looks great.

GTA has alway been massive games with loads of things to do and this limits the graphics. One of the great thing about this game is that it focus more on gameplay than it does the graphic. That is why i think GTA games are always fun to playand haveinteresting story lines.

GTA IV isn't about graphics, GTA graphics have always been on the low side. What matters the most in GTA is gameplay. So long as the GTA IV graphics are next gen, it doesn't matter, really.

They had to downgrade it so the 360 can run it. If they made the ps3 the main priority we'd see graphics on par with HAZE and MGS4-MoOkS-

Another system wars fanboy who knows nothing.

I think it's the art style that is bothering some people, the graphics are actually good IMO.

If people can say they don't like the way Lair or Halo3 or the cartoon Zelda looks.....I guess some will say they don't like the art sytle of GTA4. It's looks good enough although I never really cared for GTA games. Just something disturbing about them. I can play a FPS game like Halo and get into it but I tried the old GTA2 and it was...bleh.

Wow, i've never experienced a true fanboy and this is my first time. I try to avoid these forums cause of ppl like this. This guy is ridiculous.

The PC not only takes time to upgrade, but playing too long means more screen glare and sore eyesthan you would get from a typical widescreen TV. Plus, there's lots of fun games which are console exclusive.

What did you expect - Gears of War graphics on a GTA-sized map? Ha! Not this gen! (For consoles, anyway.)

Anyway, GTA is the sort of game that benefits from having huge areas to play around in - Rockstar would be stupid to sacrifice huge city maps in favour of great graphics.

True but GTA needs to runny steady because there just more action in the game than "oblivion" or "mass effect", those games have like 10 people maximum fighting at once and GTA will have helicopters/police/cars guns fights explosions running all at the same time.

8 million plus WoW addicts would have to disagree with that statement.

so every person who has ever logged on to WoW is an addict? WRONG 8million people dont play daily

According to Blizzard it's 8 million active accounts, meaning 8 million accounts that play regularly.

You need glasses. Those pictures are stunning. Do you see the amount of stuff going on and the level of detail. I would go as far as say the best looking game I have seen this generation so far. Atleast a 9 on the graphics scale.

no im sure they said subscribers meaning signed up, and 8mill addicts to me means theyd be on daily and im sure theres not that many on-MoOkS-

No, 8 million active accounts. And it's not just WoW that destroys your arguement, look at all the people that still play Counter Strike, StarCraft, Command and Conquer, Enemy Territory, etc. PC gaming is far from dead.

The game is lagging like hell :?

to be honest i really do not see anything that could not be done on the PS2.bc226

The graphics may not be as extensive as other games, but it certainly delivers as far as upgrade goes.

Plus, Rockstar has a particular style that really transcends graphics. Saint's Row was superior in the graphics department, but the GTA brand remains the preferred franchise among consumers. 2 Days 2 Vegas is looking better than both of those games so far, but whether or not they'll exceed Rockstar's ingenuity has yet to be seen.
