GTA 4 has blurred textures, like the N64. DVD9 say you?

Look at the walls on this latest pic. Blurred, obviously. Anyone remember the N64, where textures were blurred because everything had to be compressed to fit onto carts?

More blur. Look at the wall. Oh, and the general crappyness of the graphics.

I hate when people say GTAIV graphics suck.

ITS A HUGE FREE ROAMING WORLD.

The walls are not going to have quality textures in this huge world, it would take up so much time, and be needless

Crysis is also a huge free roaming world..

Yet fanboys only try too compare small claustrophbic games too it.

I say we should compare Crysis too GTA 4. Thats the most fair comparison too crysis there is.

N64 graphics are blurred because the games of the time where all like that. Look at any 3D PC game of the era and look at ones of today. If you can't see the difference... Then you my friend need help.

Space has nothing to do with Texture quality... When a GPU, CPU and RAM can only do so much.

Let this die.

Crysis is a PC game, top tier PC games are always a few years ahead of consoles

Holy crap! There's a slight blur that's almost noticeable! :| Freaking rediculous! I mean,my eyes are bleeding. I can't believe Rockstar can't make anything but crap graphics. This is sub-Dreamcast crap! (*)Rockstar's never getting another dime out of me!

(*The only part of the above that's not sarcasm.)

oh noes, teh walls in teh background are blurred!

blu ray am NEEDED.

Blaming DVD9 is pure ignorance. Texture quality depends much more on available video memory and memory bandwidth, which the 360 has the ps3 beat.

The N64 would have had much sharper textures if the size wasnt limited to 4k per texture, a memory limitation not so much a storage limitation.

looks great to me!

Pathetic. I can't believe how many of you run around games looking for blur in walls and jaggies on a tree branch. Get a life.

On N64, everything was blurred, there's one wall in the backgound that looks a little blurry. You didn't think this out very well.ithilgore2006

You are correct..You have to consider the source.Using a screenshot to make a point isn't anywhere near thinking.

No textures are blurry because of RAM limitations. This is why N64 had a expansion pack(4MB) that allowed sharper textures, resolution and bigger worlds. The cartridge was a limitation yes, but it wasn't the cause of blurry textures. N64 hardware was very very limited when it came to the texture department. So basically, GTA has blurry textures for a couple reasons. The first being the game takes place in a huge world so there has to be some compromises and the second being the ram limitations of the PS3 and 360.

Reading your topic name suggested that you think this is the fault of dvd9 hence blu ray would of remedied the problem. This is incorrect, blu ray only can provide capacity not a RAM increase and in many respects the 360 could probably have sharper textures due to the 512mb unified ram vs the PS3 256mb of video card ram. So it could possibly be a limitation of the PS3 imposed on the 360 in order to keep the builds looking similar.

Thear. Fixordz.

Yes, PS3 fits less in its far less than 360 ram indeed, if the game was 360 only, textures would be 10x more crisp indeed, i agreesaolin323

You mean like Fable?

Even though im not a fan of the the new GTA franchise *I Love the old ones like GTA1,2,London* I will say this. GTA is as much about graphics as 50 cent is about stopping gun violence or Paris Hilton is about good clean living and how to have respect for yourself.

GTA is not about graphics.

No. Crysis loads up levels. GTA loads up the entier city for you so you don't have to load ingame... EVER.

Its called a compressed jpeg image TC :|skrat_01

lol, no kidding.

How are we supposed to accurately judge a screenshot that's been downsized by 50% and compressed to hell with a horribly lossy image compression format? The amount of artifacting in that screenshot is obscene.

Some people abuse their mod priveligesCedmln

they can be a bit over enthousiastic sometimes...

Don't be silly, Crysis is not a free roaming world, it's made of levels you know? And it isn't fair comparing a Jungle to an Urban setting, where there are pedestrians, houses, billboards, and all things you can imagine. Besides GTA IV has no loading times.
