I'm not so sure if it is a park or not. The lake/pond and trees do make it look like one. But then there's those buildings which are really close, and I'm guessing they're houses, they do look like houses. Would you really have houses so close? I'd say it almost looks more like some sort of retirement village for old folks, shady acres?

I love how this is the Analyse Topic, yet there is no real analysing going on.

I thought it was a discussion topic, and it seems many people are discussing.

 

You can't analyse much about a game from two screenshots. You can, however, take from this what Rockstar might be doing with the game. For instance, two screenshots is indicative of a larger reveal soon; they are comfortable showing the game and are therefore waiting for the right venue to showcase it (seemingly Gamescom).

....

And what it has to do with the topic ? mercie_blink.gif

 

 

For the people who are bitching about the graphic wink.gif

I think the graphics are quite clearly a downgrade from the first trailer, and it mostly seems to be because of a lack of anti-aliasing in the recent build. I, however, don't care. If this can have a better framerate than the console version of GTA IV, more akin to Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3, then the game is already doing something right.

And there is a cluster of skyscrapers in the background, it can't be downtown LS can it? "US bank tower" isn't there. So this might as well be another city... I hope. colgate.gif

GTA5 graphic will be little better than Max Payne 3

I will not fall for R* tricks.

 

The trailer was 9 month ago, and the game was clearly in a very advanced stage.

 

They were working further since that time, so the game is even more advanced, and probably very close to be ready for release.

When will people learn?

 

1) Consoles > PC. Have a different opinion? Well, f*ck you then! This is GTAForums. Only consoles are cool.

 

2) Graphics are great. Have a different opinion? Well, f*ck you then! This is GTAForums. Every game by Rockstar is perfect.

 

3) 2 screenshots after 8 months is more than we could have wished for. Have a different opinion? Well, f*ck you then! This is GTAForums. Everything Rockstar does is perfect.

 

Oh man... I think I'll take a break from the V forums 'till people have calmed down a little.

This

 

My reasoning for why consoles are superior:

 

-A good gaming PC will burn my wallet and my bank accounts tenfold

-The game is good enough for console players, but it is never good enough for PC players. They have to mod and add to the game in order for it to be good enough for them.

-I can play a game on a $300 console, but will never be able to play a game on a $300 computer

-They are just plain simpler

 

Thank you all, enjoy your screenshots.

 

Or not, because all of you feel that they aren't good enough for the moment.

Are these guys for real or what?

The graphics are pretty good.

 

They certainly are similar, but not exactly like, to IV. GTA V is obviously more cheery and nice compared to IV's grey feel.

 

However, V looks better because of draw distance, more higher-res texture, more better shadows, vegetation, and other things. If you look at a smaller version of the 2nd picture, it looks near-photo realistic. Look at a high-res one, you notice the obvious problems with aliasing and mipmapping.

 

I'll enjoy V even if it has IV-like graphics with minor enhancements. Content over graphics any day, as long as both areas are improved but lean toward content.

Uhhh... look at the topic title.

 

And there seems to be only 3 different views stated in 73 pages.

 

1: ZOMG DIS SH*TS KRAZY UGLY YO COCKSTAR IZ AMATURE YO

2: a console VS. pc flame war

3: People who are actually HAPPY with some new footage, liking what they got, also seeing some flaws but couldn't be bothered by it.

 

So yeah, hefty discussion pal.

Wonder if anyone notice the Mavericks are completely different from the snapshot and the trailer.

Maverick from the trailer is base of the classic Maverick from GTA:IV and the past while the maverick in the snapshot is a brand new model.

My thoughts exactly. The page count went up so fast, I can't even easily get to the middle 40+ pages, but the only "analysis" is see so far is a bunch of fools saying "the graphics suck." Geeez....

 

Hopefully the good mapping guys on the LA mapping topic will put their new analysis in that thread, where it is accessible.

For me Rockstar were the first developers to realise that photo-realistic graphics doesn't equal a realistic game.

 

When I see a full rendered moustache with individually modelled hairs, I don't really care. When I see a character fumble in his pocket for a phone, or unfold a newspaper realisitcally, that is when I am immersed into the game. There is a psychological reason for this, as humans we react to seeing 'things' (real or otherwise) act and move like us. It's the reason for the uncanny valley, why you are sometimes disturbed by a realistic reaction to pain, for instance. Motion capture actors also speak about this, and how strange it is seeing their movements in another body.

 

I imagine GTA V will be no different. This images don't give any insight into how the animations will be, and that is why I eagerly anticipate another trailer while a reserve judgement on how good the game 'looks'.

the best thing is that one can see a long-ass bridge in the upper left part of the helicopter screen. Whole SA?

No.

I love the draw distance, that is what is really selling this game for me personally. Thats something that pissed me off about IV but its so nice to see it here!

True.

 

It seems that Rockstar are focusing more on how to make the city feel like a real city. The people sitting on the bench makes the city feel much less dead.

I think it might be to compare to the park we saw in SA down by that stadium (do not remember the name of it).. There the houses were quite close to the park, only seperated by a road.

not to start a flame war, but i too am sick and tired of pc gamers constantly bashing consoles. yes, computers are far more powerful and advance every year, but consoles come first in most games. i think that pc gamers hate on consoles so much because pc's are usually left behind for a lot of games. this is just my opinion tho.

The area appears to be a mash up of Hollenbeck Park, Echo Park, and perhaps Westlake/MacArthur Park. Glen Park parodied those areas in SA.

Boathouse is definitely Echo Park though.
