ok guys lets finish the fight between which version will look better. GTA IV graphix could be done on the PS2, GTA IV is a flop graphicly especially when Rockstar is admitting it. They remove all bad looking pictures and all bad looking videos from blogs and other websites. the only thing Rockstar is using from the next gen is the RAM. more traffics and better europhia. Well, If you guys think GTA series were never about graphix go and play Mario. This is the new gen and we want BETTER GRAPHIX !

thoughts ?

It really won't matter when the game releases, and GTA is still the definitive sandbox game.

Actually, no it does not.

And beyond that, anyone that spells "graphics" as "GRAPHIX", will be regarded by me as a four year old.

Well I think people are deluding themselves if they think either version is going to have a locked in framerate. But it looks pretty nice and about 3000 times better than the last gen versions. Even Saints Row looked that much better and it was rushed.

First of all way to pick the worst screen shots. Not to mention that you messed with the resolution 1067 X 600 is not 720p. So am fail there. Also has there been a good looking GTA game????

The last thing I care about is graphics. GTA games are fun, they are fun to do the mission, the side missions, basically everything.

GTA 4 has better graphics than GTA SA, you just expect all games to be on Gears of War graphical level that is all.

Grand Theft Auto isn't about the graphics, it's about the scale and feel of the city, and it looks to capture those two things perfectly.

I disagree. I've never played a GTA game that had a very good story. What attracts people to the games is the open-world, sandbox gameplay; the freedom to do whatever you want in a living, breathing world.

the freedom to jack any random car in the middle of a street is its biggest feature, imo.

they never had the euphoria engine before...so how can it be better? gta 4 didn't go fore relaistic btw. When u look at some screen u can see the textures look like paintings, brush strokes? u can really see it in the trees, seriosuly have a look. But yeah, gta4 isn't amazing, but it isn't bad and to cram as much things on screen as they did, kudos to them.

that feature is being changed a lot in this game from what ive heard, with parked cars atleast, with cars that are moving i havent heard anything really

I'll agree that it looks crappy, but so did the other GTA games in my opinion. A still shot doesn't convey the fun you get from GTA. The sense of scale, freedom in your actions, and disregard for the well-being of others is what really makes the series great. That's just not going to come through in a cherry-picked screen shot.

heres what i mean when i say the textures look like they have brush strokes, have a look a the trees and buildings:

does it not looked painted? i believe Gta 4 has a unique graphic style with that filter and colors.

this one has those bad textures u were talking about, heck yeah its fugly, but u can see the filter they use on the background and textures eh?

but look at the draw distance, and is it all that bad? i mean its not no ps2 looking game. When was gta4 known for its amazing graphics anyways?

i mean does this not look fun? it slooks artistic and unique and the draw distance is great! sure its no crack down with the draw distance but it crams alot on screen eh?

There's always a tradeoff between draw distance, scale, and how good it looks. GTA4 looks fine to me for the kind of game it is.

I agree. With everything GTA IV offers, you can't expect it to have amazing textures. For god sakes, it has the largest world in a video game (open world). It shouldn't be the best at car graphics, etc. Don't expect GTA graphics to blow you away. GTA IV though looks amazingin some spots. Don't forget the game hasn't gone gold yet. There are areas devs leave to finish up later. They make the main areas look good first and there are some main areas that look really good. If you people flame GTA games, you don't love games then.

so its because of the 360 and DVD9 that a multiplat game on both 360 and PS3 looks WORSE than a 360 exclusive title?

TC doesnt understand that sandbox games in general are much more demanding than other games.

Oblivion is probably one of the best looking sandbox games. The game displays no more than about 4 npc's at any time when roaming the wilderness and it studders every 20ft when riding a horse at 15mph. Imagine tripling the amount of npc's and a horse that can go 60mph... your console would explode.

lol what? So thats what u blame? not the ram of the systems with all the textures they need alot of ram space....so they just degrade the quialty to get large amounts and many diffrent variations to fit into the ram...lol cows blame dvd9.

If you want a game that prides itself on it's graphics, play Crysis.
Grand Theft Auto is about the massive free-roaming environments, not the visuals. I think it looks fine, for what the game itself offers.
