NJ~ Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 maybe it's an early build screen. In fact, on GTA4.net, it does say that this screen is back from july. it IS it like came out 4 months ago Indeed. Even older than that, it's from the first bunch of magazines if I remember right. And I just have the urge of quoting Al Bundy right now... Gravity, heavy material... Oh the Million Pound March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReevusGTA Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Good spot, plus the front right (our right) tyre of the police car is a bit out of place, and the cars in the bg look kinda wierd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceedot Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I was just going to say 'cry', but now I see what your talking about... Looks wierd, but... it's still a BETA. Maybe it's a UFO JOKES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 It looks like the LOD system has failed to render the bottom section of that tower like building, this often happens in San Andreas Vice City and even GTA3 to some degree. So its not that its photoshopped, I do understand why you think it is but I am sure its just the way it looks without the bottom section of the building.

dlx Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 whatever happened... that pic is fugly.... they shouldn't have released it... you can make better looking shots from SA. Some of the shots make the game look pretty bad, (oka.y.. maybe not the game.. just the graphics). The blurring on stuff in the distance is pretty bad at times.. I hope they filter that in the final game. The streets seem empty (just like with VC and SA) in a lot of them. They're not hiding anything, I think... these shots are pretty honest. Just the fact you can spot the imperfections in them. A lot of developers wouldn't even release shots like that. Rockstar is at least that confident or arrogant. I think a lot of people are just expecting IV to be the best looking game out there. But they're gonna compare it to titles like Halo3 or Bioshock. You can't. You gotta make the distinction between technical graphics and design graphics. From a technical stanpoint, almost everything rockstar released was utter crap. Artistically, designwise it was brilliant. So I expect the same for IV. It's not gonna be for the graphic whores.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artistically, designwise it was brilliant. So I expect the same for IV. It's not gonna be for the graphic whores.. agreed. I don't think the pictures look bad. But i've defenitely seen better looking graphics in other games. (but not Halo 3, sorry bub, that game looks like crap). But GTA has never really had the best graphics in their games. I think theyre there to also show gameplay mechanics like hanging on cars. I think when it is finally in your hands and in motion, it will look better than just screens. and I defenitely don't think Rockstar is purposely giving out bad screens to 'suprise us' when we get the game. That doesnt make any sense. Screens are supposed to get us excited about a game by showing us what's good about it. Thatd be like giving someone your resume with crap jobs all over it so theyll hire you because you MUST be able to do better jobs than that. At the end of the day, the screens are just screens. oh, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroHazard Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 It's not Photoshop, just missing textures. Probably due to the technical difficulties with the console's infastructures or an early build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gohan__14 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I think it didn't finished loading. Probobly early version was a bit "slower". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlx Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 hah... so you agree.. I didn't even check for halo 3. I haven't seen it, wouldn't know how it looks... But I tend to have a different taste. To me R6 Vegas is the best shooter on xbox right now, and Bioshock the best game overall. GTA will look better in motion. I was impressed with the trailers, but not with most of the screenshots. ___________ Still... we can all give 100 reasons why this screen looks so bad.. we still don't know why they decided to release this screen. If it's a problem with textures loading, why didn't they wait 5 secs to capture it again with good textures. If it's been shopped, why did they waste time retouching it if you can get better looking screens from the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azil2fu Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Yes it is. And you know why ? look at the old one : Different from the new one. I don't have any idea of what the hell is that, but yes it looks like badly photoshopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimd41 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I think it didn't finished loading. Probobly early version was a bit "slower". That shouldn't happen because it's next-gen consoles and "some" are "supossed" to be super-fast. [maybe fanboism] Wanna bet that the screen was made from a X360?

phs1234 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Wanna bet that the screen was made from a X360? Really at this point, thats irrelevant as neither console version is done. PS3 probably has just as many problems as the 360, and this is coming from a neutral in the console wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krashdown Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) that screen must be a really dodgy version of the game because the wheel of the car also has problems, Its in the ground, not just the tire .... but also some of the rim. @ = kimd41 yep it must be Edited December 26, 2007 by krashdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudriy Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I can't understand why this topic is quite popular . This screen is at least as old as July, so there are bound to be a few graphical issues. R* has had 5-6 months and still probably have around 4 months to sort such issues. Bottom Line: Yes it is a strange screen, but R* has had, and still have, time to sort it out. What else is there to discuss? Case - closed. Topic - locked.
