OysterBarron Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 What you Pc gamers have to remember now is that when SA shipped on PS2 the graphics were displayed in 640x480 resolution no matter what tv you played it on. Hence the PC version of SA was so graphically superior because you could run it in higher resolutions, Nowdays most consoles run in a higher resolution therefore there will not be that much visably different between screenshots from the console game and the PC game. times have changed.

g30dud3 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar really did add the fingerless gloves for a joke They would probably make them an easter egg or something - Shows they do read these forums I suppose.

You should have said "Console Max" instead of "TV Max." - The TV isn't rendering the game is it. Besdies, the consoles can't even produce 1920x1080, they produce 1280x720 and upscale it. That said, I don't think most people own screens that support 2560x1600 resolution, plus you would need a very powerful graphics card to render GTA IV at that resolution. Whatever, PC is still a superior platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also im pretty sure correct me if im wrong but a higher resolution only means you get a bigger viewing area on screen doesnt it.

Wezz6400 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Also im pretty sure correct me if im wrong but a higher resolution only means you get a bigger viewing area on screen doesnt it. Or is that just one thing that it does Wow, great way of showing you don't know what you're talking about. In a game such as GTA a higher resolution means more pixels are used to render the same image, resulting in a lesser blocky and more detailed image. AA and AF take further care of the blockyness, resulting in a much better image quality than any of todays consoles ever could. You don't need a very expensive graphics card anymore, prices have gone down a lot, you can get a enthousiast class (only one notch down from ultra-high-end) card for around 200 euros, I guess that would be around 300 USD or something.

Smiler-Online Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Do you guys reckon that the Game devs are looking for a new way to tackle the PC pirates... If you look at the FarCry 2 release dates you'll see that theyre releasing it way earlier on PC than on Consoles!! and the GTA:PC is getting more extras... is all of this the devlopers new ways of tackling the pirates?

MrKlorox Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Can I have some of the drugs you guys are on? None of those shots have any Anti-Aliasing turned on. I can see jaggies on the edges of polygons all over every one of those screens (even the resized ones). Didn't the 360 version have at least 2xAA? I'm sure we will be able to crank that up in the settings, but why did R* deny such effects on press screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_735 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 360 Version: 1280x720 Progressive, 30fps, 2xAA PC Version: 2560x1600 Progressive, Variable FPS (Higher than consoles if you can handle it), upto 8xAA (If your PC can handle it) Either way, if you have a damn good computer, GTA IV IS going to look a lot better compared to the console versions.

Smiler-Online Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Check out this that I've just read (Below) At this point, you’re epically late to the party but Rockstar gives some solid incentive to buy the game for PC. You'll be able to edit your own Liberty City story this fall. Source: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/6884...ampaign=TheFeed Well It looks like R* are hintng at it being moddable!!!

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 As has been confirmed with the consoles versions, the game looks its best in motion and due to the filter they use all still screenshots look blurry and plain yucky. The PC version also seems to suffer the same fate so honestly until we get the game and crack up our systems and see it in motion for ourselves we shouldn't judge too much. We might be able to remove the filter or effect in settings as well. As for the finger-less gloves, don't jump to conclusions just because its displayed in yet another screenshot does not mean its going to be a feature they add. Sure its likely if its in the game still we will find a way to unlock if not then through modding for those so desperate to have these useless things.

Naa they'll add emm in, because inn the console sersion of IV they were very early screens and one was before the release. But if IGN got emm we should have them, and as you said we'll get them anyway even when R* won't add them. How do you know when these screens were created though? We all know games regardless of platform start life on a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
