If the gloves are back in, consider what is the system for putting them on or taking them off? Is it another toggle in the clothing system or are the gloves attached to certain tops? There are no gloves sections in the clothing stores and it seems unlikely the stores would be remodeled for this. Be careful what you wish for.

They should bundle a pair of real actual gloves inside the case of the game, just to make fun of us lol.gif

Why is everybody saying that the PC version is better?I am a pc gamer and I don't have a console so I'm not a fanboy, but is just me or the PC graphics look worse?The draw distance is worse than the console pics.

It's hard (if not impossible) to judge draw distance from screenshots.

 

Don't worry, it will be better once we see it in motion.

Look, they are going to be better but the problem is the standard. When console crowds saw those first screenshot they ware all (most of them) stupefied. How PC gamers react to early screenshots? Well, it can definitely be better as it seems GTA is a bit dated (which is quite understandable since the game has been developed for years).

 

What really scares me are the possible sequels. They will look like absolute sh*t if they are pretty crappy at this day and age. When next GTA comes to PC, the modern PC games will make it look like a sad a withered piece of crap.

 

I said it a lot of times, GTA was never about graphics. Let's hold on to that one for now.

Yep, like you said, the pics aree just beta. The pc version is not ready yet, and its possible they are not with best settings. I mean, draw distance and stuff isnt maxed out. I think so its something like i said.

Well, who cares if Rockstar wont put them in the game? We still get them.

I think we have to be careful with the elitist attitude. I think we may be expecting to much. I mean, considering the bredeth of the games, the graphics are not going to be amazing. In my estimation, they look pretty good. Also the drawn distance is noticable on a few screenshots. Seems like they are using the same filter, but it does not kci in until it is a bit further away. Also to address the sequels issue. If they do release sequels based on this engine, it will be the same as 3, vc, and sa. They will just make it better until the point where it needs a new engine, and it will switch. SA was graphically far superior to 3.

 

I think, at this point, I am just glad R* hasn't bailed on us like alot of developers are starting too. Lucasarts comes to mind. I was shocked that Force Unleashed was not getting a pc release. Anyway, I think we will see some improvment, but lets be happy with the fact it actually exists, and we will get to play it.

WTF is everyone complaining about "how bad the GFX looks" and such...

99% of the people complaining probably wont be able to play on medium even...

 

Stop whining "if it looks like/less than the console Im not buying" THEN DONT...

I know I am buying because I want to PLAY... Beat my brother with a baseball bat... smile.gif...

Who gives a crap about eye candy... Its about having FUN with friends (or singleplayer if wanted)...

 

Come one, enjoy the game for what it is...

If you want fancy GFX then play Crysis (1/2 when 2 is released)...

 

Lets just enjoy the game... AND thank GOD its even coming out on the PC... smile.gif

GTAIV has ALWAYYSS looked better ingame than it does in screenshots.

 

 

Remember everyone going "omz ugly fukin blur felter" when they saw the pre release console screens, only to find it looks wonderful ingame?

 

 

I can't wait. biggrin.gif

Nice comparison.

 

Of course it'll look better. They always do, and IV looks to be no exception.

 

Maybe if it wasn't ANNOUNCED that the PC version will have beefier textures and lighting i could see teh point in uneducated arguing, but.....it's been stated. It looks better. Don't agree? Buy a damned console and stfu.

Here's a comparison I just threw together quickly. The same scene in the game from different angles. Sorry for the page stretch.

It does look a little better, but there's a lot of room for improvement. As I and others have said, it needs plenty of polish and AA/AF. Luckily, we have 3 months for them to do their work. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I want to be WOWed! I want to R* come back strong for PC gaming/gamers and "turn the page". R* and the GTA series could be so much more.

Smooth framerate over polished graphics every time.

 

I can usually run most new games at max settings at 1680 1050 but if there's the slightest hint of slowdown i'd rather sacrifice a bit of AA for example and have the game run silky smooth. That's one of the main things that strikes me when i see new console games, the developers always push the graphics engine until it starts to struggle and that's what they keep it at.

 

Played GTA4 for the first time on PS3 last week and the slowdown in fps really was noticeable when going round corners or weaving through traffic.

Of course the PC version looks better, a top gaming PC is much more expensive than a console.

 

But the gap has narrowed. The GTA IV PC comparison reminds me of Blu-Ray vs. DVD -- everybody can see which one is better but DVD doesn't suck enough to make Blu-Ray a must-have. The San Andreas-era consoles were like VHS.

Why a new thread?

Why a new thread for what ? are you hinting it would be better to have one thread to discuss the screenshots and new features ?

Please if you are going to question how things are done be a bit clearer.

There is a thread with the news from Liepzig wich includes the screenshots.

 

But Nevermind.
