Jobbie Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Take a look at these two screen shots the first on was before the delay in october and the second was after the delay, just a few weeks ago. screenshot1 screenshot2 The second screen shot dosnt look anywhere near as detailed as the first, and it dosnt make sense to release a screenshot just before release that is from an early build. The only reason i cant think of is that the delay, in october, was because of fps issues and that the only way R* could fix the problem was to reduce detail. I have seen this been done before for PES 2008 where they reduced the games detail after release(with a patch). I may be wrong but it for you to discuss.

Darrel Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well why dont you compare this shot as its the same location as the first one. http://media.gtanet.com/images/4105_gta4_screenshot.jpg Looks just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addiekins Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 i dont think that first one was before the delay bro.. Also, the second screen doesn't look that bad.. I mean despite the cars on the left are all buttf*cking eachother it looks alright.. people are getting caught up in the graphics.. Remember GTA was never big on graphics..

I mean despite the cars on the left are all buttf*cking eachother it looks alright.. people are getting caught up in the graphics.. Remember GTA was never big on graphics.. The first one is one of the first screenshots Rockstar released. It's from months before the delay. I haven't even seen the second screenshot before. But, some screenshots just appear to have completely different graphics than the most..Just believe the previews, they all say the game looks amazing.

Actually my cousin works for a magazine company that has seen a running copy of GTA4 a while ago (he didnt see it himself so dont start with the bullsh*t statments) and he told me that they must sign an agreement that stops them from writing bad previews, although he said the wording is very clever. eg "Any bugs that will be encounter will be illigitemit for preview with regards to the build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Like i said, why dont you compare the screenshot i posted which is pretty recent to the first one you posted? It's identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first screenshot was touched up and not in-game. It was in-engine, not in-game. In my opinion anyway.\ This is communism from R* Because no non-communistic country has ever done that, Especially not America Edited March 12, 2008 by Seachmall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is communism from R* Its true tho!!! most of the ppl who work in games magazines are gamers like ourselves so they dont care thay have to write a good review to see the game. I mean, i would sign it and write a good preview if i was gonna get to play gta4. And any way im not saying that the previews lie or anything but the screenshots are totally diffrent graphically and that is my concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead4 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The 2nd screenshot is less detailed because 1 it is a booth tunnel and 2 it is night time, meaning there is no sun to cast nice detailed shadows which make the 1st look really good. Everything else is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtycopVCPD Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The problem is that Rockstar is running their screenshots (on the official website at least) through some sort of photoshop filter. That's why the post delay shot looks so weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo, I was on rockstar's website last night and that is the only old pic that even looks remotely close to as nice as the new ones. Don't be worried....look at some of the new pics. EDIT: The guy above me is completely right though...in all of the newer pics Rockstar is using a Photoshop ripple effect probably to make the screenshots look painted like the artwork.........who knows.

This is communism from R* No it's not, it's simply bullsh*t from the OP.

Jobbie Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Okay look at this video i think it may dissmiss my claims! lcpd video look between 33 and 35 secs, the police car wheels do not turn at all. This video is just a recent release and unless R* have stop cars wheels turning to increase fps then its just an old build like the pics. Just dont understand why they are releasing this sort of thing so close to release. Edited March 12, 2008 by Jobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 If you played SA and paid close attention it also looked like the cars - especially the bikes - were not touching the ground depending on the view angle and the lightning BUT it was most definitely OK.

To be fair to him they could have spent 5 months trying to find a way to solve the problem without reducing the detail, then spent a month reducing the detail in all the assets.
