New screens from Edge

[Just To Clarify]

The descent (Franklin, parachtue scene) was taking about 3 minutes - not sure if just freefalling though - that'd be insane but I think it was meant with opened parachute

Anymore Pics

[Ferocious Banger]

Thanks man!

 

Anything new they have said in the texts?

That driving isn't dumbed down.

[Lock n' Stock]

Not many, but still interesting nevertheless.

Thanks man!

to be honest i didn't read it yet, because i was too exited to upload them and share them with you guys

 

I hope that mods will not take them down

Hey man, can you eventually upload the site with the new screens featured??? like you uploaded all the other sites - I just want to get a better version of the screens. cheers. You are amazing.

Nothing major in the preview. Just some tidbits I picked up on:

 

• "Time will sometimes pass when you switch, allowing Rockstar to subtly nudge the story forward"

• The camera is "grainy" when pulling up into the Google Earth style view, during switches.

• "They'll each stick, broadly speaking, to one area of the map". [When you're not controlling them.]

• The descent when Franklin drops from the Helicopter, that opens the demo, took 3 minutes.

• "We're in Red Dead country, then, with the soporific rhythm of hooves on dirt replaced by the whistle of wind through silk, and a new, dynamic score". [The hooves are probably referring to Red Dead, and not confirmation of horses.]

• The hotel Michael is leaving during the demo is called Von Crastenburg (I couldn't remember if the name has been mentioned before, though the hotel part has, but I included it anyway).

• The ambient score when Franklin descends has a soft-synth reminiscent of something out of the Drive OST.

• The view of the land is flatter in the radar/mini-map, reminiscent of a GPS (whatever that means), and three colour meters for health, armour and Special are below it (mentioned before as green, blue and yellow respectively).

• Michael looks like a tough guy, in his walk, but his sprint shows his age.

• "80's Soul" heard from one car.

• Handling is more forgiving, but not "dumbed down".

• You'll only be able to switch characters, when a menu overlay appears in the bottom corner during missions. A lot of the switches in mission are made automatically. There are also text prompts suggesting character switches.

• During the demo of the Blitz Party mission, Michael, Trevor and Franklin were donning the hockey mask, skull mask and monkey mask (respectively). [Whereas in Michael's trailer they were wearing gas masks; perhaps a development change, or an idea on the choice we have?]

• The characters' turning circle is more like Max Payne's, and less like Niko's (so smoother movement).

Hey in the picture of Franklin on the dirtbike, you can see cops in the back,but also a dude wearing a white shirt and green paints and he seems to be aiming at Franklin too? Wonder who he is.

Thanks, will update first post

While swimming, sharks are marked on the radar

[nigelhere9901]

I just hope automatic switches don't ruin my game, I don't want the game to play itself for me, I want ME to play for myself.

I dont mean to sound like a graphics whore, but am i the only who thinks the graphics in this screenshot look abit pre-mature or something? Good think they'll be polishing it up for abit longer, unless the size of the map and what not effects the graphics. :|

[gamesguru]

 

Thanks, will update first post

No problem. I've updated the list (in my previous post), as I fixed some errors (grammar and the like), so could you copy and past it over the old one please (I specifically forgot to mention that the restriction on character switching was during the Blitz Party mission; so I changed that to avoid confusion)?

 

Everything else has been mentioned before. I've read all the previews (except that old Norwegian one, as I'll read that later), and I've been going through them with a fine-toothed comb.

[iNero]

Nothing new to me.except the 2 screens

This image could migh as well be from an early built. Not al the screens Rockstar passes on to game publishers are all 'new'

Looks about right. Expect slightly refined TBoGT graphics - keep in mind that it's still running on the same engine, on the same hardware. If you keep trying to make up excuses like 'early build' or 'it's going to be polished more', you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. The graphics shouldn't matter to you at all, if you're a true GTA fan, though.

ok will do

[BoyzNGroveStreet]

@Shockenheim I understand that, it probably is lol, didnt they say they took over 500 screenshots or something a while back?

 

@Azazel Yeah i dont really care for the graphics that much, i just pointed them out cos no one else was n they didnt look too good lol, but its all good, peace.

yes it does look pre-mature..

 

 

I think by now R* would have got lots of head ache because of our graphics complaining..

The screen shots does not look good as trailers... lets wait and see...

Could be yes. We have to assume that V is nearing its completion and is shipped within three months. Still some screenshots to come.

TBOGT is like 5 years old. The hardware wasnt at its limit all with it. After 5 years we actually can expect better than TBOGT. Especially when watching games like RDR, Skyrim or Halo ( which is a FPS but still shows whats possible with it)

[Kifflom112]

So the driving result is just like Forza Motorspot 4 to Horizon: Friendlier but in no way dumbed down.

[LotusRIP]

When we getting a higher res version of this image?

 

 

The other one in OP has the helicopter + motorbike cut off

[Maglev]

 

I hope we can stand on the side of big cars like the police guy does!

[Kill Frenzy!]

Nice but not interesting details I see

I actually think it's a more realistic look at the game's graphics. A lot of the screenshots have had a ton of depth of field added and just seem a bit unrealistic for current-gen consoles. Some of these images look like more like I expect the game to look and is more in line with that previewers said.

[MosquitoSmasher]

Is it just me or is that a cop on a motorcycle in the Trevor screenshot?
