Why does the 2011 GTA V graphics were better then now? Maybe it was a cutscene, but i doesnt look like a cutscene, what do u think?

The first one was a cut scene made on a computer, not powered by either game  system. The second one is in game not a cut scene and powered by a PS3. So yeah... big difference there. If you thought the graphics on that first trailer is how the finished game would look while actually playing... well, you're crazy.

Funny how there are two camps; one that says the final game will look better than the reveal trailer, and the other that says the opposite. Looks like the latter is right.

Of course. it works that way for EVERY game that comes out. The first reveal/teaser trailers are all CGI, rendered on a PC. Then people are surprised when the actual game looks less amazing.

 

The lack of common sense people have these days is so depressing.

 

I can only hope that most of you are just kids who don't know any better.

That definitely is not the case for every game. If I recall correctly, GTA IV looked better when it was finally released; Far Cry 3 looked worse during the reveal, and so did Red Dead Redemption.

 

 

kids

 

Very mature, sir. Very mature.

I am very excited for this area, too. As I said before, the game is beautiful; but the graphics aren't.

Mods lock the thread  a lot of WD fans brings here! And they provoke. Ferocius Banger one of them.

Is it wrong to be a fan of multiple games? Truth be told, I've looked forward to, and look forward to GTAV more than Watch_Dogs. But the fact is, the graphics have certainly gone down since the first trailer. But I can understand the performance issues that might have hampered that version of V, though.

 

WD went through the same thing, the last trailer they released was pretty much clear evidence. Their previous game, Far Cry 3, looked even worse at release compared to the trailers.

 

Also, this is what the OP and the rest of the complainers don't understand:

FC3 looked exactly the same and RDR looked the same or maybe slightly better, but the horse animations were not as good as they were in game.

I don't understand the obsession with the graphics?

When i first saw this new screen today i thought to myself, it doesn't look as nice as i thought it'd be. The original shown from the trailer (which could have been from gameplay) looks cool. But the new one looks boring and repetitive.

Another whine thread about the graphics? I don't see what everyone's problem is, they look great for a current-gen game.

I agree with the fact that Watch_Dogs looks nowhere near as good as it did back in '12. I just hope that full settings on PC results in the game looking like it did in '12.

 

Also, I definitely understand the point you're trying to explain through that picture. smile.gif

This was FC3's reveal:

 

 

 

The retail version looks better than the reveal, and that's what I had said.

 

Edit: I think Vaas is the only thing that is inferior in the reveal version.

Guarantee you the vineyard will look closer to trailer 1 by standing on ground level.

Sure maybe not exactly the same as trailer 1 but LOD will have loaded better.

 

And still this game is the best looking open world game on PS3 and Xbox. How can

anyone deny that? There is so much going on in the game and yet the graphics look

very nice.

 

Plus remember R* has to sacrifice graphics for framerate and all that other limitation

jibjab.

Yeah I also hope so, I already pre-ordered it. Hope they don't pull another FC3 on us.

 

And no, the retail version was pretty subpar. The overall detail, on everything from the models, to the foliage and the environment as well as the lighting effects were a major step back.

They always show trailers, etc. on the highest settings possible on PC, so not much expected there. With V, though, there is no PC version as of yet so it's all shown on console.

Yeah, but the comparison that I showed you was against the actual retail version on the PC on max settings. They clearly downgraded it for performance sake probably.

Regarding V, they more than likely ran it on a dev console.

I would play Grand Theft Auto V if it looked like this:

Because the areas in first trailer were made when the map wasnt finished. They were made just for the trailer and it had to look cool so they could get sponsors for the game. Thats how the business works.

Didn't mommy teach you not to talk about stuff you obviously know nothing about?

 

Anyways, it doesn't look bad to me. GTA games always look better in motion anyway. They've always released pre-rendered footage for promotional photos and trailer, nothing new there. Every developer does it. Hopefully we'll be able to experience the full graphics a few months later on the superior PC version.

sadly its safe to say when ign said the graphics looked like IV an every1 was bashing IGN for it even though looking now compared to the shots (and original trailer) back then to now they weren't far off. I'm not gonna cry in a corner over this b/c any real gamer knows Gameplay>graphics. But I'm starting to fully understand why PC>>>>>>>Consoles. I just hope eventually V is on PC so I can make that transition b/c I've seen the possiblities IV has on PC
