worse graphics

[MetalMilitia]

Well, i played some Episodes from Liberty City on my ps3 and i have to say that, well, the graphics are awesome, but the cause fps lag and fps decrease drastically (Alliteration, see what i did there) anyways in my opinion, graphics are not important, obviosuly its nice to see some beautiful scenary, however, in GTA 5 i would rather have worse graphics and more FPS than better graphics and chunky gameplay, f*ck the graphics, its about the story line and how the game presents, not about noticing how many spots does a character have.

 

 

Whats your opinion

[MosquitoSmasher]

How about a good balance?

 

If we are to believe that Polish previewer, the game runs very smoothly. But then...there were plenty previewers at the time of GTA IV that said the exact same thing...so yeah....

 

He also said it looks just as good as RDR. So if that's truly the case and the framerate is smooth. That would be absolutely fantastic.

I want to have the game as great as it can be, I don't care too much about graphics, but I do want them to look nice, GTA IV looked horrible at PS3, I hope and know that GTA5 is an improvement.

Worst graphics = better fps

If you are concerned about dropped frames and having a good framerate then play PC. Current Gen consoles will always be capped at 30 fps

It looks like somebody's grade 9 English class is finally starting to teach those useless literary terms that you'll more than likely never use post-high school. Btw that was a pathetic example of alliteration. I speak better examples of alliteration unintentionally!

 

Anyways, I don't feel comfortable with either of the two - dropping FPS or graphics. Thankfully, the graphics look beautiful and I somehow doubt R* would release V with some bad FPS issues. Anyways, this is part of the reason as to why I'm really hoping for V to come to PS4 (as a PC port).

yeah, ill get GTA V for my ps3, but to get full potential from the game ill get it on PC if comes out.

true

rather V have same graphics as IV.... it wasn't bad or anything. Anything better and there will be drop in FPS and some lag on heavy traffic.

No, he's just being honest. You don't have to think the visuals are perfect. I agree gameplay is more important, but R* is good at balancing both. It won't be as perfect of a balance as MP3, but GTA V will probably be beautiful.

 

I also agree about the frame rate being very important. I think GTA IV had problems because it was their first open world game with their new tech.

Personally I couldn't care less about the graphics. As long as they update the police A.I. and peds interaction, make it in SA graphics. That I would buy for sure. Nostalgia +++

WTF?

Where you pople have eyes...

GTA IV is the best looking open world game on ps3 yet .

I wouldn't mind this, but I would still like the newer physics and animations. The way stuff works is much more important than textures and polygons IMO.

 

I actually would like to see the 3D era GTA games with RAGE. I mean the full games working properly.

[Mokrie Dela]

EFLC didn't improve graphics, but brightened the colour. Making it more vibrant makes things look better compared to the "greyness" of IV*

 

V looks a bit better but still much of the same (of course). Performance is a slight concern to me, but i have faith. Hell, last night i was playing SA and that game shat the bed. First it crashed, then the textures loaded, then faded and reloaded. Such things will still happen in V (as they did in IV and RDR), but rarer.

 

Graphics are important. Games are evolving, and if GTA V was released with really bad graphics - like Driver for example - would anyone like it? No. But with "good" graphics, we'll love it. There's a balance, and with graphics, features performance etc, the game will be good, and will have to match others. There are nicer looking games out there, sure, but gta is the whole package. Sometimes, however, things have to be compromised.

IV ran perfectly fine on PS3. There's nothing to complain about.

 

SA has acceptable graphics. You can actually see.

 

 

There's no reason to complain. You can start complaining about how the game runs terribly or how poor your port is when you see the PS2 version of Just Cause 1. Here's a comparison.

 

 

X360 version

 

 

 

PS2 version

The thing that bugs me the most is that there are only few peds and cars on the streets. I know that

current-gen consoles can't handle more but it's Los Santos (Los Angeles) we're talking about.

It's amazing how a change in colour palette can seemingly improve the graphics.

 

I'm expecting RDR level graphics, because even though V is running on an updated RAGEngine, the gameplay will be a lot more memory intensive (more pedestrians, more explosions, more objects on screen at once, greater variety of terrain, faster map traversal, verticality etc).

*I dont feel GTA IV is "grey" in a bad way. I liked it.

I am the complete opposite of this, i think the amount of lacking color in IV was a huge deal. The game was basically built around a color palette containing only grey, brown and black. And i know the game was meant to be gritty and dirty, and the same goes for the city. So that does explain why there is a distinct lack of color.

 

However as far as my personal preference, i want more colors. Liberty City was a very depressive environment rather than an immersive one. V is looking more my style already, everything just seems brighter.

[Murad96]

The FPS in real life is like 60. So if it was actually 60 in GTA 5 it would be more immersive and, well... feel better.

GTA IV doesn't lack colour. Normally I like playing with the drawn out, rusty look, but on my current save my settings are about what TBOGT is on default.

 

Although the game is built around a rather sombre tone it can look quite vibrant with the right settings.

Are you a PC gamer? I have tried changing some settings like adjusting the brightness etc but nothing really helps, for example when I'm driving along, and i go down a street with a train track above me, i have to put my headlamps on full beam because it is so dark.

[Guest]

IV looks quite nice if you max out contrast and saturation but keep brightness to a quite low setting, about level 3.

 

It makes daytime colourful and lively, but nighttime still stays dark and gritty.

360. All of my settings are just under max. On a bright and sunny day it really brings out the colour. Play around with a few combinations.

Ok thanks man i will certainly give it a go

 

I was planning on popping in IV today to try and pick up some achievements I've missed, so i will have a fiddle with the settings and see what happens.

I tried that once, I don't think it looks that nice. It makes everything look too fake and cartoony imo. Makes other times of day look bad, too, for example evening, everything looks way too orange.

This is the thing; that was intentional. IV was set during autumn, not summer. NYC and the story, are not bright sunny tropical warm feelings. If they had it with Vice City colour pallet etc, it would feel very very weird. It had this grounded, gritty, feel. It wasn't a rags to riches or a "yay" game.

 

That said, had you ever gone into settings and turned the saturation up? I had, and it actually got very colourful. Perhaps i just have a better TV or perhaps playing through component (more vibrant than Hdmi on my tv) made it more colourful. V will be brighter and sunnier, warmer and lighter. It's a different game, a step away. Look at GTA III - comapare that to VC. One is "dull" and "grey" the other is "bright" and "sunny".

 

Sure IV COULD have been brighter but with the use of the in game settings and those of the TV, i managed to make it very bright with very little effort. It's about tweaking. I've tweaked RDR's settings and that of other games too, and they look good. One game won't look the same on every TV. You have to tweak your settings in game and on the TV for your needs. Those that say GTA IV had no colour, I feel, are colour blind or lazy. Sure, it wasn't the golden sunkissed of Vice City, but it was still colourful, enough for the setting and theme.

 

 

On any hand V will "fix" that, not that it need it. Ironically, I think I'll turn the satuation/ brightness down when I get it.

 

 

 

RE: MiamiViceCity - As i said, each TV is different. In game settings are there to tweak to suit your needs. For MVC's tv, he turned them up, and it looked bright and vibrant. On my tv, that would possibly wash out and look too much. So on mine, i turn it DOWN. Sure, i bump the colour up a touch, but brightness down. My settings look really nice. but on MVC's TV, that would likely look sh*t.

 

Also, bear in mind, as i said, that I connect via COMPONENT. That makes things look more vibrant where as HDMI looks washed out - every TV is different, and every person's preference is differnt. I for example, like night time to be DARK. I got that on RDR, and almost in IV - knocking out a streetlamp made things seem dark, as opposed to fake-blue.
