N24K Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Is it me or does GTAIV's graphics look a bit wish washy ... if you know what i mean. The close ups of niko look great and ... well most close ups look good but when you look at pictures where there is either a lot of peds, lot of movement, or wide pan views of a greater area of the city it looks really fuzzy, grey and well watered down! I hope it isnt that bad in the actual game! Any ideas/ comments? http://media.gtanet.com/images/4097_gta4_screenshot.jpg - example of a screen. It still looks good but just not as good as what id expect from a next gen title which has had so much time spent on developing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyeb Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah, I know what you mean. Don't mean to burst your bubble, but this has been discuss many times. In the trailers it looks fine. So I am not sure whats going on. But it will be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

god_hand5 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 i see what the TC means about the graphics....BUT, most likely that screen is from an earlier build, keep in mind they are STILL polishing the game up so im sure any rough edges will be cleaned up and the graphics will look 1 million times bnetter than they do in the screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Any PC gamers in this thread know that PC games have the best graphics and are capable of delivering it (provided you put mucho $$$ in your hardware and GPU especially). Still kills me when I read that some people don't know what AA or AF (anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering) are and think that consoles are the ultimate thing as far as graphics go. Last but not least, my XFX XxX Nvidia 8800GTX costed as much as a PS3. lol. So, yeah consoles are a cheaper option, I recon.

It's raining, so everything is suitably dank-looking, and the buildings in the background look solid and varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, why did you suddenly bring COD4 up, did you assume I played that game, why would you think I played that game? I never played it so I don't know. And the screen looks awesome to me. YOU are the one that needs to calm down because you're freaking out because of a screen shot. Okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyphonPayne Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Since WHEN was GTA known for it's awesome graphics? Jeez all this "HD" crap has turned everyone into graphics whores (yes, I admit I'm guilty as well, and I love me some eye candy.) All in all GTA is known for the badass gameplay, not graphics. So chill out with all the over-analyzation of the graphics in BETA screenshots and pre-release screenshots. At least it's not a bunch of pre-rendered bullsh*t then when you finally get the game you say "oh, damn these gfx aren't as good as they looked." P.S. I'm just venting and generalizing things so I'm not really directing this towards one particular person BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZAZEL Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 All the screenshots look like that, minus the ones from MTV. I'm sure the real thing is a lot sharper looking. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
