CharmingCharlie Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 So basically exactly the same graphics as the Xbox 360....... hm colour me shocked . I guess it will be up to Boris and his ENB series mod to turn this DLC into something approaching how it should look on the PC. If you find those graphics impressive then you really want to stay out of the PC screenshot topic your eyeballs will explode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunrise Driver Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 In-game GTA IV graphics looks better than on pre-release PC screenshots.Same for the EFLC I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-Bobski Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Those screenshots look normal to me, nothing special about it. But then again, the screenshots Rockstar threw at us from the xbox EFLC were pimped to the max compared to what I saw when I played it. Ah well, just a few weeks to go.

CharmingCharlie Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 These screenshots look pretty much the damn same as the xbox 360 version :- Xbox 360 :- So I don't see why anyone should be impressed by these 4 screenshots, they don't appear to have done anything to improve the graphics on the PC.

FullMetal Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Why are you even complaining about so called complaining? It's called being a sceptical person and/or not accepting sh*t from everyone without reasoning. I think more people around here should think before they act/say stuff. Anyways: I do see a difference with the EFLC Xbox360 and now the PC screenshots. Though for some reason it doesn't look as sharp as the PC GTAIV screenshots did. Nonetheless, I can't f*cking wait!

Cilogy Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Does anyone else not see the big deal in this? The graphics look the same as the 360 version. I mean, we might as well have assumed what the game was gonna look like. Its pretty hilarious how R* put up these pics pretending that this is a "new" product.

Garfield 2 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Oh, true. Anyways, the screenies look ordinary but you can see some minor differences between the PC & X360 version - 1st of all the resolution, 2nd of all - some tweaking has been done to the blur filter.

Still, it looks better than the Xbox360 in my opinion, but NO WHERE near as 'high quality' as GTAIV for the PC was. I hope to see more screenshots so we can see the real quality of the game (and maybe be disappointed big time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmingCharlie Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Seems to me, like there is no AA support added... You won't get AA support in GTA till Rockstar ditch Dx9 and I can't see them taking a step like that till the next lot of consoles come out. I have a hard time believing those screen shots are done with hi-res textures, I would say they look pretty much exactly like the textures the xbox 360 uses. Now I have a theory as to why this is, we all know that XBL has a maximum file size limit of 2gbs. Now since the DLC is being distributed by GFWL and it is based on XBL it is possible the PC version will only be 2gbs per episode. That could potentially explain the reason why the textures are no better than the console version. I don't think the hi-res textures are part of the DLC and as a knock on effect they won't be a part of the EFLC either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTAuthority Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) I guess it will be up to Boris and his ENB series mod to turn this DLC into something approaching how it should look on the PC. Good luck making your own game engine which looks how 'it should look like'. Remember, the base content is > 2 years old, and I don't see many other games with this complexity with better performance and effects. You won't get AA support in GTA till Rockstar ditch Dx9 and I can't see them taking a step like that till the next lot of consoles come out. It's not a simple port to D3D10, and I don't think adding AA to deferred lighting is that easy, even with it. Anyway, it's still playable without AA? I have a hard time believing those screen shots are done with hi-res textures, I would say they look pretty much exactly like the textures the xbox 360 uses. Now I have a theory as to why this is, we all know that XBL has a maximum file size limit of 2gbs. Now since the DLC is being distributed by GFWL and it is based on XBL it is possible the PC version will only be 2gbs per episode. That could potentially explain the reason why the textures are no better than the console version. Firstly, original map data still uses the original textures. Secondly, textures are DXT compressed, and shouldn't be too annoying. Thirdly, if it'd really be needed, there could be some workaround to help the 32-bit file limit in the LIVE container format (which, if unsigned, which I expect, is 4 GB). I don't think the hi-res textures are part of the DLC and as a knock on effect they won't be a part of the EFLC either. But they're part of the main game.

Remember, the base content is > 2 years old, and I don't see many other games with this complexity with better performance and effects. I am not going to get into comparisons with other games because it is a no win situation. It's not a simple port to D3D10, and I don't think adding AA to deferred lighting is that easy, even with it. Anyway, it's still playable without AA? I can't comment on how simple it is to do AA and deferred lighting my comment was merely to highlight the fact Dx10 does it and Dx9 doesn't do it. Now Rockstar choose to stick with Dx9 and we are stuck with that decision till such time the next batch of consoles come out even though we are now seeing a shift from most other developers to Dx10/Dx11. Firstly, original map data still uses the original textures. Secondly, textures are DXT compressed, and shouldn't be too annoying. Thirdly, if it'd really be needed, there could be some workaround to help the 32-bit file limit in the LIVE container format (which, if unsigned, which I expect, is 4 GB). Firstly there is a lot of new content in the DLC, Secondly I am sure they are compressed but then why was the PC version of GTA 4 twice the size of the Xbox 360 version then ? Thirdly this is Microsoft they don't do work arounds they expect companies to do work arounds for them. The 2gb file limit is obviously present within the GFWL system and they won't go out of their way to work around that just for the pc audience. But they're part of the main game. It will be interesting to see how many discs the EFLC comes on with the PC version, technically speaking the EFLC should come on two discs if it only comes on one then we have to ask ourselves what did Rockstar drop to fit it all on 1 disc.

Ash_735 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 It will be interesting to see how many discs the EFLC comes on with the PC version, technically speaking the EFLC should come on two discs if it only comes on one then we have to ask ourselves what did Rockstar drop to fit it all on 1 disc. Over Half the Radio Content: 1.1GB (roughly) Original Uncompressed TV Stations: 1.76GB 1/3 of Original Mission Speech: 270MB (roughly) So there we have roughly 3.13GB saved, that's not including if they decide to cut back on any Ped Dialogue and the many alternate versions of ambience from the original, and yes I did factor in the replaced stations and new content on top of those, still a 3.13GB (roughly) saving over normal GTA IV.
