they have reduced draw distance again?

[iNero]

look at this:

 

 

you can see cars even from that distance.

 

now look at these ( new ones):

 

 

there are no cars. and like in GTA4 the street lights are flying in the air cause the object dont get rendered.

 

Not complaining. But I wonder if they have reduced all that stuff again. It would be really good if you were able to see cars even when up in the air this time

[BenVS]

No idea. But in the screenshot where they are standing on the tower, the furthest hills look pretty bad. Like a poor photoshop job. They are just black lines.

CVG - "Rockstar is promising five times as many pedestrians in GTA V as there were in Grand Theft Auto IV, and although the world isn't fully populated yet, it's still buzzing."

 

Basically, the world wasn't finished yet.

Looks fine to me. Just the outline of the mountain in the background. It is night time, of course you won't be able to see it clearly. The distance is greater looking at that angle than looking straight down. Also the beach doesn't have any roads on it, that is just a pathway.

 

Of course, I didn't notice anything wrong with GTA IV's draw distance. San Andreas was pretty obvious though.

theres still 4 months for them to polish it

[GTAaLEX117]

I know, the quote is from the CVG article from a few days ago.

I think the version they showed in the preview wasn't the final one.

[killahmatic]

In that 2nd photo of the plane over the beach, there is no road, so there wont be any cars.

There is a bike path along the beach, however.

You can't Polish a turd... its just something we need to live with.

[iNero]

its not about polishing. it seems like they have reduced. so they wont bring it up again by polishing ( if they actually reduced it)

[GTAfan786]

I don't think it's reduced. We don't know which screens are from the beta (early stages) and which one's are recent. They did say its been improved to 5 miles, so why reduce it unless they need to reduce it to help another feature implemented into the game.

they also said we will have no rpg elements or properties. they can change everything

[wwinterj]

I really don't think so.

Read my last line. I said unless they have to implement more features in the game

 

 

I know that. But it's not 100% known yet why they put the for sale sign in the first trailer. For all we know, Rockstar could have said it wasn't in the game just to see reaction and then announce it again to get the hype back up again. They have a wonderful strategy you know.

First image is a P.R touched up "bullshot".

[Raavi]

You seem to be pretty big on everything that's related the game's graphics. And as always; it looks fine to me, I don't see where you're coming from as the draw distance in other recent shots is just as good as in previous ones. Besides, this isn't even the final "built".

was my idea too.

 

still I hope the draw distance of the objects and cars will be like in the first screen. to me it would look pretty weird if we have to fly over they city again and see only empty streets at day and flying lights at night

Come on, didn't anyone notice that in the first screen camera position is WAY CLOSER to the street than it is in the second and third picture.

 

Also when it comes to ''five times more pedestrians'' it doesn't mean there will be that many on the streets, but that they have five times more models. If anything there will be the same amount of pedestrian in the streets at the same time as in IV, maybe a bit more if they can somehow make them work.

actually they said it will be even less peds. but for realism reason. on LAs streets there are way less people walking on the streets than in NY for example. in LA almost everyone drives with their cars

Fine with me, and it makes sense and NY is the one known for busy streets. Let's hope the masses can accept that without starting a riot

[GTAaLEX117]

 

Actually they said it will be even less peds.

When did they say that? Every screenshot so far has proven the exact opposite.

 

By the way, here's a high altitude shot that clearly shows vehicles on the roads

GI. First preview...

not really saying much but even its a bit blurry on distance, it shows at least some details though

[Spider-Vice]

Exactly. No open-world game renders cars at full quality from high up, they use sprites because of lag. Remember people, 2006 consoles.

As for the post above me, same thing, you aren't expecting models to be high def even 500m away, the blur is to hide the LOD's, aka low quality distance models. I think it's pretty awesomely done.

[D T]

In the first screenshot, he was just closer to the street. You have to keep in mind, the bank tower in the second screenshot is the tallest building in the game.

Yeah and the demo builds are ALWAYS a few months older than the day we see it.

[Kifflom112]

Don't use the trailer's graphics as evidence. That's not what the final product will look like. More than likely it'll look like the screenshots from yesterdau. The recent screens have aliasing issues, but who cares?
