"GTA V looks dated"

Anyone remember after the first trailer and people thought it looked too good for current gen? How times have changed.

Yeah and only 1,5 year later some people thinks it looks like gta IV.

I think GTA V will be visually sub-par. But we knew that already, this only substantiates that argument.

Exactly. A game this huge on such old hardware will not look that awesome. But I would much rather quality gameplay over graphics (to a point)

Yes, I agree. If it is on par with RDR- consider me a happy camper. But I don't think many reviewers will view it that way, resulting in V scoring lower than IV.

well, with GTA IV being the most overrated video game in video gaming history that's quite possible.

GTA IV was a great game for its time, graphically as well as gameplay wise. GTA V will be amazing gameplay wise and on par with RDR graphics wise.

Anyone remember after the first trailer and people thought it looked too good for current gen? How times have changed.

Well, some people were saying that, and others were saying that it looked no better than IV. My first post was a thread detailing how the latter group was wrong (and also debunked the former group). So there's always been the same sort of discrepancy.

 

I think that the graphics look very good, and they have ever since the first trailer. It looks slightly improved from RDR in many ways, with a color palette fitting its location and tone. Obviously the color palette is the biggest difference between GTA V and GTA IV, but there are many technical improvements as well, some more subtle than others, which combine to make an overall pretty big difference even to the untrained eye. Among my favorite improvements is that street lamps actually cast shadows! (See the latest trailers for evidence, especially Franklin's trailer with all the night-time shots).

You are kidding aren't you? To this day I still play GTA IV and EFLC more than any other video game. You are aware you are posting on a GTA forum right? IV was the first time Rockstar were able to create a city that truly felt real. I loved the series before IV, obviously, and they have so much sentimental value to me. But IV is the best game of all time, for me anyway. If the graphics are on par with RDR, the shooting and movement mechanics are similar to Max Payne 3, and everything else is a refined version of IV, it will easily be the greatest accomplishment in gaming to date, IMO.

Problem with V on [current gen] consoles is , it will not look as sharp , detailed and crisp as IV is on PC with icenhancer 2.1

 

Took this screen yesterday. Widening the page on purpose so you guys can see what details 1080p has compared to 720p

Of course it looks dated when you compare it to nextgen, you don't have to be a genius to understand that... Why would you compare it with nextgen anyway...

well i do have to agree. there wasn't much of a difference from IV other than contrast and slightly better textures. if you compare ANY AAA game that came out last 2 years and upcoming games to V in terms of graphics, you would notice it. just look at the cardboard interiors and terrible AA and view distance. also noticed some texture pop ups in the ingame screenshots (eg: half of the building textures is loaded while the other half is still loading)

Since i've been on this forum all i've seen you is talk sh*t about GTA . If all you have is negative opinions, why are you even here ?

You're saying that a game that's 3.5x bigger then Read Dead Redemption doesn't have next gen graphics? Well f*ck you Rockstar, nice way to destroy a game.

Yeah, but see the difference is, we don't care. Clearly your priorities in life are a bit backward.

Honestly, this screenshot does not look that good, definitely inferior compared to GTAV. The graphics can appear to be sharper but if the rest doesn't look good, how much does it actually matter that the graphics are 'sharper'? GTAV looks better in many areas, even compared to a heavily modded IV on a High-End PC due to the technical improvements of the engine.

I'm not worried. These publications can talk all they want. I guess they see everything from amazing to sh*tty games all the time so maybe they're just jaded. Realistically though, neither anything that we've seen on PS4 or Xbox One is all that impressive. Right now, next-gen looks like this gen with slightly better textures and lighting across the board. I'm hyped for next gen but E3 will really have to bring it for me to even care because we haven't seen anything from either side at this point that screams next gen has arrived and you'll be playing it in 3-4 months. So while everyone is bickering, I'll be PLAYING NOT WATCHING the single greatest game of this generation come September 17, 2013. And if anyone thinks I'm overcompensating, what other big game is left? Another Call of Duty?

Jesus Christ I knew 2.1 was sh*t but not THAT sh*t. 1.25 looks so much better.

 

Here's 1.25 (with better city textures)

 

 

 

EDIT: Even still, it's not that great. I'm not anticipating much better for V but we can only hope... (that's if they do anything about a PC release)

I think in overall 2.1 looks more like an actual game. The previous ones had a bit too much effect. And i didnt try to take a good screenshot just randomly stood up and pressed keyboard while playing it on hdtv with x360 gamepad:)

 

My overall point is:

GTA V will look 'dated' on current gen consoles because of technical limitations. It will look really good on PC and next gen consoles (If they will be able to do 1080p, 60 fps , aa and 2K textures)

That doesnt look good... at all. I mean, LOOK AT THE CAR. The reflections are HORRIBLE. I bet GTA V will look much better, cause the graphics will look like they belong to the game, if you know what i mean

it looks good enough, atleast it will be looking better than IV, its not like this is f*cking crysis series or something, GTAV will deliever in both graphics (for current) and gameplay.

ICenhancer doesnt look good in my opinion, it looks like real pciture is being put on as a texture, it looks ugly, it should look like a game, like GTAV does.

Totally agree. I find many of the Icehancers and whatnot actually look pretty ugly and over the top. I much prefer colour palette, lighting and atmosphere and GTAV has all 3 in spades and much more improved over GTA IV. Im not fussed on sharpness and AA. If it is on par with RDR (which imo it looks to be) i will be happy.

Some of the best and most fulfilling games I've ever played (and still play today after many years), have "dated" graphics. I have no qualms, and I don't think others should either.

This is ridiculous. GTA V has excellent graphics.

 

And this is based on what, comparing GTA V, a current gen game, to next gen games?

 

Even comparing it to that...I haven't yet seen any next gen graphics that completely blow my mind.

Next gen is so new, that I dont even think next gen graphics actually look "next gen" yet.

 

The only way to explain this is some people have just been playing current gen for so long, theyre getting bored

with current gen graphics, and the few and slight limitations they have, and they're already dreaming of something better.

Sorry, my English is not so good so I have one question:

 

Is this positive or negative news?

What do these guys expect? This is a huge open world for God's sake. This is going to be the BEST LOOKING open world of this size, detail and variety. If they manage to get it to look as good as Red Dead Redemption I will be completely happy but i think even that might be asking too much of current hardware given the size of the world it is presenting.

his mum looks dated.

This lol^

 

Or atleast she does since i went through her mwhahah..

 

 

No really... in hindsight, SA looked dated in the same sense, did anyone cry about it ever or even notice? No becuase we were a different breed of gamer back then lol.

All they would have to do to satisfy me would be to take TBOGT's graphics and improve the colour pallet, improve the skybox and the draw distance, all of which they have done.

Good news.

They just said that the graphics look ''dated'' because the next gen is coming up... the graphics look amazing.
