Jops Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I was expecting that bad, low resolution textures for empty storefronts would be a thing of the past http://www.gta4.tv/img/content/473.jpg Not to rag on the the suretobeahit game. Old screen shot maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardedbastard Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yeah I just saw that one too, and the same thing came to mind. I'm tugging at my F-ing collar here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numdmind Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Did you think every building would be accessible? People are getting really bored around here it seems. Plus, this has been discussed already a bit. I'm not going to rag on you for that though, it's easy enough to miss. But really, this doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things. Is it really going to cause you to have a bad time playing the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really going to cause you to have a bad time playing the game? Your right, in the grand scheme of things no, no it won't matter. It just seems.. with all the hype.. sort of a deflating thing to see. I never expected (or wanted) access to every building. I just thought with all of the innovations a convincing substitute for "bad low resolution texture" would have came to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured we'd be passed the low res textures and flat textures being applied to glass as well, evidently, I was wrong. It's sh*tty, it's going to bother some people, no one said it's game breaking, no need to make it sound that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO if people are going to complain that much (not pointing fingers) then I got an idea to solve your problems... Don't buy the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sh*tty, it's going to bother some people, no one said it's game breaking, no need to make it sound that way. I think you got me wrong. I'm not giving anyone a hard time. I personally don't think it's that big of a deal. I don't care if things like that are there, because that means that R* put more effort into making a game, not a piece of eye-candy. The graphics have never been an issue with me when it comes to games. They always come second. Otherwise I'd play crappy games like Gears of War. Not trying to start a war there, I just think that so much effort was put into making the game look pretty, that it was lacking in any real gameplay innovations. I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill, the other people who keep posting things about little graphical things that in the end don't matter are the ones making mountains out of molehills. If they were glitches, then yeah I see a flaw. But when it's done on purpose you can't call it a flaw. This is not a flaw, it's a decision to sacrifice graphical quality for better gameplay.

GTA VLSA Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) This screenshot is quite old... And that even remotely applies to the topic's main point how? Well, You can't expect every single aspect of the game to be perfect, maybe they're saving the better details for future games.

numdmind Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 This screenshot is quite old... True, but this one isn't really.

Jops Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 This screenshot is quite old... Perhaps, but check out this guy: http://www.gtagaming.com/images/gtaiv/screenshots/288.jpg Not terrible, higher resolution helps. I think a clever glass+distance effect combined with a nice high resolution texture would be ideal. To borrow a phrase, not a game breaker here in any way.

nlitement Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 It's reasonable to expect a place like "Bean Machine" that you see all over Liberty city and even on the official site to be accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, come on people, we ALL have to live with it. This is the same core team as Dan Houser mentioned again, it is also not a graphically impressive game although they are working at their best to make it exceed expectations and fulfill their goals for the ultimate sandbox, larger then life gaming experience. If you must, blame Aaron Garbut and his team of graphic designers! hahaha, no, he's cool. Compare it to past GTAs, that is all they set their sights on in terms of improving GTAs. Don't worry about the link not working, it's the Coffee store shown earlier, I saw it and I know what it is without looking! haha Edited April 21, 2008 by Slamman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMR2007 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 People seem to forget - "Its not all about graphics." If this game was a graphical masterpiece but had complete crap gameplay you would complain, Rockstar have looked for a balance so they can have the game playing as they want with some nice graphics on the side but that isn't enough apparently. Another great quote would be - "Don't like it? Don't buy it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I'm not flip-flopping sides about my stand on the graphics, I'm just trying to provide another picture for people to compare with. This was the picture in question in the other forum that dealt exactly with this issue. yea that screenshot is old it was released at about the same time as the screenshot mentioned on this thread. If you are talking about the maps on the windows of stores, then yea of course those aren't going to change because every building isn't accessible. but in the actual game they actually look alright; kinda. If you pay attention to the new Irish/UK tv ad, at the scene before he begins to steal the aston martin, the storefront to his left (our right) doesn't look that bad although one can tell it's a texture instead of one with graphical activity. Otherwise, if you are talking about the graphics on everything around the windows, I'm pretty sure that those graphics have improved up to now because there had to be some sort of strategy for them to put out these screenshots with admittedly bad textures. they've got to be placeholder. but then again all that i've seen in trailers is what R* wants the consumer to see--they aren't going to show scenes where the graphics had to be greatly compromised.
