So GTA IV modded > GTA V

This game is developed for consoles first, it would be foolish to think it would look as good as GTA IV modded.

That being said, once GTA V graphic mods will come out it will look even better than IV modded.

Still i think the game looks incredible, the lighting is so much better than vanilla GTA IVs and the sky looks actually beautiful this time, like they learned it from RDR. Also the countryside looked stunning.

The amount of detail in some of the city scenes is also incredible for an sandbox game.

Yeah its not like GTA V might have the possibilities of graphical mods or anything.

This is like saying "my four overclocked 460's beat the CRAP out of your puny 570", then ignoring that said 570 could get overclocked and quadrupled itself.

What PC version.Deniable_Ops

What PS3/360 version?

Don't see a point to this thread. Isn't this fairly obvious?

At low res and low frame rate I'm Sure but the guys on over lockers are talking about 1080p high fps, max settings etc.CwlHeddwyn

I play at a higher resolution, framerate, and graphics settings thatn the console version if that means anything.

GTA and all other rockstar games have never been about the graphics. I remember how bad GTA San Anderas looked and how little I cared.

[QUOTE="rasengan2552"] have you ever played a game without blur ? it doesn't look very nice, textures become too sharp. you need a little bit of blur.ChubbyGuy40

Ah consoles gamers are their silly notion that blur is good. Guess they've become too used to it.

When Diablo II came out, it looked bad even for its time, but I have played that game more than any other game.

Again, I am not saying that graphics define the overall quality of a game, it is simply ONE of the many qualities of a game.

High end PC running a modded game looks better than a game running off of 6 year old hardware. Shocking isn't it.

My PC is far from high-end.

Okay. Tech-post 2006 > 2006 tech :o

Hold what back? Can someone wake up TC in his cloud cho cho land? GTAV didn't even announced on PC, even it gonna happens, we are talking about be 6-9 month after console version release date, when the next RDR and LA noires in development, maybe then it's the time for you to talk about mods and "hold back" with all the time you need to fix all the bugs. But that is just an "IF" if GTAV will ever go to PC due to Rockstars' sympathy.

But no way I'm not gonna wait that long to get PC version for a game this great.

It's only assumed since all the others went PC also, but they haven't said which platforms it'll be on. It may or may not be delayed with the same bullcrap like last time.

Sorry for reviving the thread but I didn't want to make a whole new one for this. I updated my original post with this:

Here is a video of a mod that makes CoD4: MW look better than MW2, CoD: BOs, and MW3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXFaT2TywBo

In fact, I think this looks better than BF3 on consoles, but BF3 on PC is still graphics king in my opinion.

Yet another sequel to a game that doesn't look better than a previous title in the series, and not just previous game, but three games ago.

Modded GTA IV on the PC looks well but the art-style in GTA V is better.

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"]

The art direction of the GTA IV graphics mod is crap. You got high res and shiny everything, but the art styIe suffers incredibly for it. I uninstalled the mod after a quarter way through the game.

I don't mind the lack of minute detail in Rockstar's games because their games are so visually consistent it doesn't break immersion. Even a good looking game like Crysis would have small breaks in immersion with fugly rock textures and stuff.

The only thing that's gonna get me is the sub-30 framerate on consoles, and if it happens, the poor optimization on PC.

No, I'm talking about the ENB series in general. While the ENB modder always offers pretty graphics, the art styIe always suffers in the games he mods. It happened in the SA mod, and it happened in the GTA IV mod. It's a similar effect to the Half-Life 2 cinematic mod, which makes Half-Life 2 look cutting edge, but it doesn't look like Half-Life 2 anymore, but a bunch of pretty disjointed things.

I'm sure if Rockstar wanted to, it could produce the level of graphics seen in the GTA IV mod. But there's more to the aesthetics of a video game than pure muscle.

Quoted for truth. Graphics mods look good but they can change the look of games too much.

What if Rockstar just doesn't release GTA IV for PC at all? Will you guys QQ then about modded GTA IV? Its not like you can hold back something that doesn't exist, and especially not when that version is the least cared about for the guys making it.

Why did I revive this? No one will respond to my updated original post or the post that I updated the thread with. I should have made a seperate thread for that CoD4 mod... I put a lot of time and effort into 90% of my threads/posts but less than half get responded to. I try to bring logic and reason into these threads but people just skip over my posts or just reply with a simple answer or go off topic (which is likely to happen here since I wrote this).

I find it hilarious that you were expecting that level of quality from a current gen multiplat.

They need to sell the game on consoles. The consoles can't achieve modded GTA4. Simple as that.
