shady555 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 OK, I just came out of the tree thread (yea, it's sad), but anyway, people need to realize you cant judge the graphics by the screenshots. ESPECIALLY when people are stretching the image TRIPLE its size and complaining about the tree leaves, i mean wtf? If you notice, all the screens look Great in thumbnail size. Thats how its gonna look in game. You have to see everything in motion, with the blur effects, lighting, etc. All that stuff combined when making these screens can really change a lot for a still -photo. I think a lot of people are gonna be surprised when they see how good the graphics actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_zoo Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah I agree, when the game comes out those graphics complainers will hopefully shut up and enjoy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWASGTA Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 The game is going to look great in motion. We didn't really need a thread for this.. Oh, wait.. maybe we kind of did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Step back in the time machine to 1987, er, 2007, Feb/March, first screen shots, first trees... There were numerous graphics threads on this very forum. Too many old topics started over. We know, if you were here for a year, that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Engage Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I think that IGN review was sh*t. He said in MP you cold only see 50ft infront of you before blur kicked in. Yet in the screenshots I can see further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You can't see for miles and miles (kinda like the Who song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrernie Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Thank you for speaking sense. Motion is a big factor... Another factor is distance. As IV is a console game, its highly unlikely you will sit as close to your console screen/television as you do to you PC monitor. Open up a screenshot, take a few steps back (or as far back as you sit for a console) and look at the screenshot. They look 10x better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitterhunter Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i love the painted effect they have on the game, when u look at the backgrounds in all the screenshots, even far away it looks like a painting. i really can't understand how people can't appreciate that. people are comparing the game to real life instead of appreciating it for what it's supposed to be. f*cking retards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackiller08 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yeah its pretty sad.... Why don't you want to play the new grand theft auto game? Well the trees didn't look good so I don't want to play it! It's stupid, with all the other cool stuff in the game I don't think I'm gonna have enough time to stop and look at the trees.

Hmmm the problem there is I'll be playing this on a 93" projected screen. People are hooking PS3s and XBoxs up to some pretty big and good quality HD TVs these days, I'm not sure this argument stands to be honest.

For example, if you go into Sony store and stand up close to a HD TV (any size) it doesn't look amazing at all. Take steps back and looks fantastic. And of course, the bigger the screen, the less close you should be to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yes I do, Mr. I see hands and arms, the worst possibly, of all GTA4 graphic elements. Certainly an improvement but there have already been better attempts at it on these consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly an improvement but there have already been better attempts at it on these consoles. I think the hands and arms look very realistic in the screenshots and trailers. Probably better than most games out there. Of course it's not better than the latest fps games and such, but GTA will never look better than games of most other genres released around the same time.

ceedot Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I think people judge screenshots too much. Look at trailer 4. Look at them closely compared to the other trailers. The graphics are amazing. The smoothness, textures, lighting, and everything just looks so great. I don't see why people think the graphics 'suck', when you look at the other GTA's. I remember GTA III was great graphics when it came out, and so it IV. I mean, we can even see people's faces properly, and they have emotion, something we havn't had in past installments. People have to realise also that the graphics, although not as good as games such as Crysis, or those (super) PC games are run with expensive computers. You also have the atmosphere of GTA, which would cause a lot of thinking for the consoles as well. This isn't just smooth graphics, but it's also a dynamic sound and lit city that has so many things going on at the same time. If you don't have the atmosphere, you have a good looking game that is just boring and dull. Look at everyother sandbox, and you'll notice what I mean. Sorry if some of that didn't make sence.

Gabe Logan Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well looking at the very old screenshots then comparing them to the new ones, the old ones are alot more detailed and overally better. But yeah, the graphics on trailer 4 were great so I guess the graphics will be alot better when in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I pointed out the hawaiian t shirt cop in the last trailer before... He's got bad hands and arms, Niko holding guns in still shots and grabbing steering wheels in video and stills are rather poor, and the trees actually look better. The flesh tones are too flat, but these things will evolve over time, they just detract from my expectations and I can't deny having those!

Cursed Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 The graphics look great in the trailers and old screenshots, but this paint effect is far too strong, I looked at the new screenshots today and I hope that its something theyve added in Photoshop. Not only are the far off buildings painty, but thing right up close are too. The game looks great in motion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursed Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Was there any need to add FFS to the end of it? I was just saying that the paint effect in the screenshots gives a bad impression. I will be looking at screenshots of the game until (if) it comes out on PC, so they are important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atix Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 ok imagine lets say....an hiphop performer (an MC is u prefer to be precise) performing. if you see the full movie it looks cool the guy just moving around singing waving the s*it out of his arms etc. but if you see a picture of the show its looks like his r*etard or seomthing. with his mouth all twisted and his arm in the air and the other on the mic. same thing. you gotta see the whole show to appreciate not a picture.
