GTA IS ABOUT GRPAHICS...

I hate hearing the phrase...."GTA is not about graphics...its about gameplay."...Thats not true. GTA is about both. Rockstar's ability to create this living breathing world with good draw distance, physics, lighting, etc... is unbelievable. I was playing san andreas the other day and i just stopped for a second and looked at how beautiful the graphics were. I wasnt looking at an individual Ped, or car, or building...i was looking at everything. Someone who knows alot about videogames, and is a true gamer is able to step back and really respect what rockstar has done with graphics. The world is incredible, and to me...considering what they have done...its some of the best graphics ive ever seen.

GTA is about gameplay.

 

EDIT: I guess it does involve graphics too...because it would look like sh*t.

And they've found the perfect balance.

Its about both

Agreed.

 

It's just impossible to have AWESOME graphics when there is so much going on like in a GTA Game.

 

Unfortunately our consoles don't have Quad-SLI yet. dozingoff.gif

Indeed its both. Rockstar has to keep it balanced, the graphics effect the gameplay, and the gameplay effects the graphics. Anyways the game is going to be worth it, stop hating on the game and start watching the epicness grow.

Yuup. Read that interview with Dan, I think he (or Aaron) said that he hated people saying that because they try their best with the graphics (game is packed tight with other stuff let alone the graphics).

Its about both, but the c*nts are the people who judge it only on graphics.

It's about gameplay. Always was, always will be. Although the graphics do look well improved this time around, but not nearly as good as most other next gen console games.

considering the sheer scale and density of gta4 aswell as the many gameplay mechanics i think the graphics are bloody fantastic.
