Screenshot enchancement argument is now over!

I think its fair to say the question of whether Rockstar were enhancing the screenshots either with photoshop or something is now over. The screens are clearly completely pre-rendered or altered beyond a fair representation of the game.

 

Not taking shots at the graphics, but its clear they were taking liberties with the screens.

I always agreed that they did enhance them in game by using proper lighting and adding extra lights in scenes just for the shots. Also rendering them with maximum anti aliasing, something consoles won't be able to do realtime. Also, custom camera angles did their part of the job and we got super nice screens.

Of course it doesn't. It's daytime in one, nighttime in the other. There's a fixed camera view from the bottom (cinematic cam), and a third person perspective in the other. You can see the front of the character in one, and the back of 2 in the other. One is moving extremely fast, and the other one is nearing the land. What and how are you even comparing?

From Rockstar's recent Q&A:

 

"The only versions of the game that we have announced are for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 which are set for a September 17th worldwide release. We don’t have anything to share about the possibility of a next-gen or a PC platform release at this time and we are completely focused on delivering the best possible experience for the consoles people have right now."

 

 

 

Something to think about...

And? What does that have to do with this?

Are you a bit silly?

 

 

Thats like saying the cars from the air dont look as detailed as the close up of the cars (Like in the car modification scene for example)

 

The jetski which trevor is riding is in close view. The other is far away. And if you're on about the scenery too. The trailer image looks better and crisp.

 

So i dont know what you're trying to do.

of course they won't make their promo shots look as well polished as possible.

13 words:

 

Compressed video of gameplay always looks smoother, less jaggy, than the actual game.

 

24 more words and some numbers xD

 

The videos and screens do not show how jaggy and how much pixel-dancing will be going on. It will be a lot at 720p.

Firstly, if your watching it on YouTube, your an idiot.....download it first, then have a good look

 

Secondly, its a compressed video, the visuals will not be identical to what will appear on your TV screen

 

Thirdly, that shot is at night time, the lighting alone makes this shot look awesome

 

Finally, all screenshots are touched up in any game, but the difference between shots and gameplay will be minimal
