GTA 4 looks too good for GTA!

I not sure I like the idea of a GTA game having 'next-gen' graphics. I'm so used to the blocky, bland look that previous games had. Sure the characters looked awkward. Explosions looked bad. The blood looked cartoony. But darn it, it had charm. GTA games have probably had some of the worst graphics I've ever seen, but it felt like a GTA game. The awkward grapchis kinda became GTA's signature look.

Maybe that's a testament to the other aspects of the game. The gameplay, storytelling, and voice-acting were possibly just so good that you didn't care about the graphics.

Now I know what your're thinking. 'Those games were on a last-gen system. So of course GTA 4 will have much better graphics.' But is it too much to wish that Rockstar could've dumbed down the graphics just a little? I'm just afraid that everything will have that next-gen 'glossy' look. Which may make the game not feel like a true GTA game.

But regardless, this game will rock the world of any GTA fan. I guess I just miss the old days and the great memories I have playing my favorite game series, Grand Theft Auto.

man i dont thin anyone will agree with this haha...i know what u mean tho get that classic feel of a game, but hell no dont dumb down the graphics, thats the beauty of gta 4, its beautiful and a more real world than anything

i know what u mean tho, getting all hyped for this game has reminded me of playing the first gta demo for my computer and being hopelessly addicted to such a simple game...and now look where the gta series is...its crazy...crazy good tho

cant wait to try out the mp either

Thats Exactly what I want! I want horrible graphics and sloppy controls! Why in God's name would I want a game that looks amazing and a whole new control sheme that is revamed and way better! That is just crazy!

your complaining that the graphics are TOO GOOD? Now I have seen everything....What a crock of crap. Why would they dumb down the graphics unless it was affecting framerate? Sweeeet lord.

You shouldn't call my opinion crap. It's not respectful.

Stupid thread... why bother complaining over the graphics, if they are to good?

That doesn't make any sense to me at all. Go play Saints Row if you want it more cartoonie.

You are saying that the game R* has spent the last 4 years making isn't good enough for you... how do you think that makes them feel? You complain because he dislikes the opinion that took you 2 minutes to think of and type, when R* has spent 4 years of each of their employees lives making a game for you... and you come on here and say it isn't good enough... all I have to say is fudge you...

I agree with you 100% squeets, only thing i would change is that its not that the game isn't good enough for him...ITS TOO GOOD!! LOL!!!!! This is ridiculous

Even though you don't like me, would you still be willing to go on a date with me? I'm starting to develope a crush on you.

if graphics are what makes a GTA game GTA to you then your focused on the wrong part of the game, the game is gonna be GTA thru and thru regardless of its look
