shadoolaw Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 He's already a sympathetic character just through pics alone, from the expressions on his face. His face tells you almost everything about him. He's a badass with a heart of gold, except much more complex. (his confused reaction to Playboy X speaking) That first one is probably my favorite pic of Niko. Don't think I've ever seen a video game character look so damn sad. I also really like that last one with him and Roman. You can see how upset Niko is and you can see Roman trying to be sympathetic and uplifting. Rockstar really outdid themselves on this one. Just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruXter Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Man, the way they do the shading on him in relation to his surroundings is quite poor. But who cares. I won't even see that when i play. I'm sure everyone else will . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRenemy Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 The 7th picture when he's angrily pointing the gun, has anyone noticed the dramatic change in hairstyle? Not really the style, but the length and combed look? Every other picture (from memory) shows him with that short "fuzz" Just interesting is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vardoom Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) The confused Playboy X reaction is really funny imo, Niko just darts his eyes around like he's trying to think really hard about what Playboy X is spitting out. Man, the way they do the shading on him in relation to his surroundingsis quite poor. But who cares. I won't even see that when i play. I'm sure everyone else will . I don't see a problem with his shading, and if you look at the most recent shading screenshots of him, especially when he's in the building with the sunrise light shining on him, looks quite amazing (one of the newest pics). IMO would you rather Niko have box hands, and look of GTA: San Andreas graphics? Thought not... Edited April 23, 2008 by vardoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the 8th one.... The sun seems to be shining on both sides of his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks much better in the trailer, when it's moving. Niko's expression is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0T0RI0US V Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Niko is a more realistic character this time, instead of some hard core street jockey shooting up thousands of gang members, or some fruit cup working for the mob after some bitch shoots him. But is actually a war vet from a European country trying to find the life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
