CharmingCharlie Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I see your point, to be honest I wish peeps would stop posting the pics in the Liepzig thread, that thread is for discussion of the new features and details that we heard about, it is very difficult to keep a discussion going with page stretching, hence the reason why this thread should only be used for the posting of image and talking about the images.

MrKlorox Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Again, the "Bob Ross" effect is almost not visible in the PC screen because the source resolutions are different. Shrinking down the PC shot blurs the filter to invisibility, whereas the console version at it's native resolution is only made to look worse due to compression artifacting. Really not a proper comparison... if the PC shot was 1280x720 and 2xAA, then you could compare realistically. EDIT: Also you're double-artifacting an already compressed low res (console) image by combining the two then re-exporting to jpeg.

gamesguru Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 To those getting their hopes up for big graphical improvements and bug fixes in Grand Theft Auto IV on PC: you may want to lower your expectations! German gaming site 4Players.de got a peek at IV PC during Games Convention in Leipzig and saw that not much has changed. As they watched a developer play the mission "Three Leaf Clover," 4Players noticed that the biggest improvement for the PC version of GTA IV is the high resolution (maximum 2560x1440 pixels). Even this comes with its drawbacks as it allows you to see some of the game's poorer textures. They mention it's a pity Rockstar Games hasn't made very many technical improvments, but they still believe there is no doubt the game will be a hit (via GTA Extreme.)

macorules94 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 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. which of these look best Gta iv on the pc Or on a cheap console THEY LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME IDIOT GET A LIFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruXter Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Actually of the two pictures, the top one is clear, the bottom one has a blur, you can't see hair very well or wrinkles if you ever used photo shop you would know what i mean UFO Spotted in Pc Versions Screen Shots Picture Of Ufo I know it's not, but why did they ss right then? I mean if you look at the full picture in th list of 9 when he is in the cop car looking in the mirror. looks like he could (kinda) be looking at it.

thaCURSEDpie Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 R* could make the normal- and bumpmaps a bit higher resolution... as it is now its a bit blurry. However, I don't really care if they release the game with low-res resolutions; there will come mods with high-res versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmingCharlie Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 UFO Spotted in Pc Versions Screen Shots Picture Of Ufo Actually that did remind me of something that I missed in GTA 4. There is no R constellation in the game now . In previous GTA's if you looked up to the sky you would see a R* star configuration but that is all gone now and I kinda missed it. Oh well such is life, I don't think we can directly draw comparisons yet until we get screenshots taken at the same time or we see some video's of the PC version. However it stands to reason the PC version will look better due to the higher resolutions (and better framerates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? stars formed a R*?(there is so much hidden content in GTA III series that i was that many years after SA proven i didn't know absolutely everything) if these sh*ts didn't look like lamp flares,i would care to see what they form, but their ugliness made me look away. Hopefully they don't in IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guerilla85 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 those screen shots suck. they are low guilty and dont show much of any thing different. i what to see better draw distance, face rendering/ textures. not a 80% quality jpq. True dat they suck! We want gloves lol! I wouldn't be surprised if they put them in though, after the constant nagging to R* a little present wouldn't do good. When will you people shut up with those insignificant gloves? they're gloves for christ sake....I just don't understand why anyone gives a crap about gloves. You can mod the pc version, so you can have you're little stupid gloves...i know im being a bitch but really...they are stupid gloves And, the screenshots look okay...not much better then the console version imo.

How about some Gauntlets I want a Knight Suit...That would rock... I think the PC is getting 100% a ported version of the consoles... Nothing NEW at all in the PC version... The consoles have the choice of which weapons to use in DM and such... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They removed that plus others because they took the realistic game thing too serious.That's why there are no Rhinos in this game and probably they wont put 'em in any other next GTA until they have the possibility of making the player be able to destroy buildings with the Rhino, until we reach a much better techology in gaming.No chainsaw as well, because they couldn't make it able to cut people in pieces and it would also be against the law.

Dhatz Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) I just want them to use HDR properly(like they wanted to). look at the screen of sunset with the lowrider. the water reflection looks like the sun was only 255 intensity,which is only pure white before reflecting.

And people getting limbs broken off when driven into/onto... They should of had those ingame as well...he he... I would rather have bones breaking, represented by an extra bend in the limb (perhaps also skull crushing) than dismemberment. Dismemberment in games is always so ridiculously unrealistically easy... besides, a dude's head won't fly off if you strike him head on with a bus.

UK&R* Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 This wheel is going through him (doesn't really matter at all though): PC really loock good Also, A think R* do 4:3 for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesushumper Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The console versions do proper widescreen, in that it has more content on teh sides compared to 4:3, so i expect teh same of teh PC version. Back to those screens, they look pretty nice, but the edge-blur effect on wide cityscape shots worry me - it looks pretty crappy. Maybe they use that blur method because the R.A.G.E. engine ahs trouble using anti-aliasing.. if so, that'd kinda suck. Then again, there's still 12 weeks of polishing to do, so hopefully the final product will look a bit better. Don't get me wrong, though - the street-level sots still look pretty nice to me. Not Crysis nice, but still pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although unlike previous [3D] GTAs, the moon is no longer mortally obese (un-realistically big), so it's no biggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OysterBarron Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Nikos ears look better in the console version they looked more rounded, compared to the sharper PC graphics. you can actually see the line in the bit thats supposed to be curved. p.s relating to my post before 360 is now going to support resolutions upto 1680x1050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew4Life Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Those screens look a bit crappy (to me)...I mean you can see those big lines that are meant to be smooth and curved...I never really noticed that on the console version. However this won't stop me from getting the game, even though I must say I'm a bit disappointed. (about the line thing in case you dont understand, look at the screenshot with the cop and look at his gun - it looks like several blocks put together, SA style, in a way.)
