GTA IV is the graphics king(56k)

Yep,I said it.

The reason crysis(1) has held the crown till now is because of mods.Otherwise,Metro 2033 would be the graphics king.

As mods are fair,I present to you...MODDED GTA IV AKA GRAPHICS KING.

EDIT0:The game looks much better in motion.PROOF [Not my video but the same config]

EDIT1:I know there is a lot of aliasing,but that is because I have a LOW END pc.As everyone knows,the gta4 engine does not support AA.ENB overcomes this problem by doubling your resolution.It is an effective method,but kills performance.If you have a mid range PC you can turn on AA and the framerate will still be playable.AND EVEN WITHOUT AA the jagged lines are barely visible in motion due to blur.The car in the first screenshot has many jagged edges but it is the only car with a lot of aliasing.

A game (Graphics, Gameplay, etc.) should be judged based on its own merits...not merits presented to it by a third party.

Well TC, throw the object through the window to show us you're serious, because I don't believe it.

Looks great but not the best imo. Shogun 2 is king. 8)

No it doesn't.

I don't give two s**** about graphics, so don't ask me. All I know is that I have only ever played vanilla Crysis and it is a looker.

I still won't believe until you do it.

Crysis 2 looks better than Metro 2033. Metro 2033 just has some moments were it looks good, but overrall it's overated imo. Although it still looks better than any console game.

Not close, and no cigar.

With mods yes. We'll see what happens when the first texture mod for Crysis 2 is released along with the DX11 patch.

Vanilla Crysis 2 craps all over vanilla GTAIV though.

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"] Mind posting some screenshots for comparison?I have completed 3 levels so far and I believe that gta 4 looks better.call_of_duty_10

Of course it does!Vanilla gta 4 is very ugly. Enb can totally change the graphics though.

Thats not GAT IV tho.....thats real life.

Here are form crysis 2 mp at high settings.

Mods are fair when when comparing PCs and consoles. They should be allowed in graphics king discussions too. STALKER SoC is an ugly game but many people place it in top 10 due to the 'complete 2009' mod.call_of_duty_10

They aren't though, a video game should be judged on its own merits. If it is lacking in an area or two...then its lacking in an area or two.

Shadow of Chernobyl is not the best looking game at all, and GTA IV hasn't been good looking since it came out.

DJ_Headshot

Here are form crysis 2 mp at high settings.

These screenshots are not good for comparison.I need shots that are in the city.

I would have compared them myself but I haven't finished the SP.

If possible,can you post scrrenshots of buildings in the city?(Day and night both)

Unfortunately,we cannot compare manhattan as I haven't unlocked alonquin yet.

shots from incrysis.

GTAIV has good lighting when it's modded, but the character models look last-gen. C2 easily wins when you look at every aspect.

I agree with the point about character models,but the lighting is destroyed by the (lack of)shadows.

look at that roadblock beside the police station.It should cast a shadow but it isn't.The result is that there's a reflection of the object above on the road which should have been covered by a shadow.This looks bad.You can see the problem with the shadows on other objects too.

All objects cast shadows in gta4 at night which looks more natural.

What's the "(56k)" in the title for ?jiggaleroy

Yeah, but it still runs like crap. Who needs a graphics when you can't play it normally.Crimsader

[QUOTE="Crimsader"]Yeah, but it still runs like crap. Who needs a graphics when you can't play it normally.call_of_duty_10

Looks better than GTA4 and Metro 2033 imo.

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"][QUOTE="Crimsader"]Yeah, but it still runs like crap. Who needs a graphics when you can't play it normally.Inconsistancy

Does anyone know where I can find save files for GTA4?

I want to take screenshots of alonquin for comparison.

Bit nit-picky considering the shots you posted look drab compared to ones I put up. Watch these amazing vids from DreamCryotank. Puts GTAIV to shame.

They're all awesome. Part 3 is the best. The music and the slow-mo makes it into pure magic.

Thanks for making those, and the .gif you did for me, too. Only vids that do the game justice. Makes the official TV ad look like junk...with in-game footage.

Wow those jaggies look terrible, but yea GTA 4 on PC with mods does look amazing :D

Darn the stupid save file doesn't work thanks to GFWL:x

Thats not the way it works, sorry, mods are a huge part of what makes gaming great. If a mod adds new content to a game, that makes the game better, if it improves the graphics then the graphics are better. If the graphics mod costs money, then I can see you having a point, but since there free, and anyone can grab em, they fully count. Improving a game after its released increases the life of the game and the enjoyment you get out of your 50 bucks.
