I wish people would just STFU about the damn graphics already. Its really pathetic. The game looks fine. Did u honestly expect graphics to look like Bioshock Infinite lol The game world is enormous and there is so much stuff going on at once, its ridiculous. Im amazed that they were able to make the graphics look as good as they did with the insane amount of stuff they put in this game.

It looks better than IV, I couldn't really ask for much more because IV looks decent.

 

After playing a game for a while you kind of stop paying attention to graphics any way, unless there's something that makes the game unplayable or distracting, which is certainly not the case with the current evidence. Play the game for 10 minutes and you'd stop thinking "Oh, these bushes look crap". When I started playing IV again earlier this week I thought the same about the weird draw distance fog but you soon zone out. Nice graphics aren't bad, don't get me wrong, but you need to compromise in order to get a decent framerate. WIth Far Cry 3, for example, I was pretty blown away when I first played it on the 360 but now I wish they would have downgraded the quality of the graphics because the framerate is awful, and you can't ignore jerky gameplay.

 

If there is going to be pop in though, that is another issue. In IV I have only had distracting pop-in problems when playing online, like fire hydrants appearing from nowhere, but I'm sure that would have been smoothed out by now.

 

I'm not going to act like gameplay >>>>>>>>> graphics either, because I can assure that I would be complaining if the game looks ugly, but it doesn't based on the gameplay trailers and these new screenshots. It looks decent. The lighting also helps, and having a nice art style is more important to me than being able see more foilage when flying a chopper.

The newest batch of screenshots all look worse in some ways, but at least the framerate will be optimized.

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?

Could very well be a scale-back to get fluid gameplay or it could be the distance the camera is from the fields. Its significantly closer in 2011 trailer screenshot.

 

We haven't played the game yet so let's just wait.

One is from a trailer and one is a screenshot.

 

You can't compare them.

 

We've seen what the game looks like so why are people complaining? I honestly don't think these screenshots are accurate to be honest. I'll go by what ive seen in GAMEPLAY trailers.

i can deal with the graphics

 

hopefully a PS4 version will be in development, and allow us to transfer our save / online stats to it.

As a PC player since Sega Dreamcast, I won't talk about graphics, they look good for the hardware handle them but light years away of what I'm used to, but this is what I said since the beginning, since when the first batch of screens where released there was a huge debate all over the Internet saying the game was Next Gen, knowing how the different settings of graphic details look for years those shaders, shadows and textures didn't look exactly possible on the current gen hardware. But people didn't want to use common sense and realize that. Wait for the release and the complain will be even more. And stop with "Gampeplay > Graphics" if that was true you'd be still playing in a GameBoy. The people that keep using this speech are just fooling themselves and trying to believe in it, when deeply they know it's not true.

 

Anyway the only thing I find funny here, is that before everyone said "OMG you can't compare a photoshoped screenshot with a 420p compressed youtube trailer" ... now look at you, it's the complete opposite and the "stupid compressed 420p youtube video" looks a lot better then the screenshot doesn't it?

 

A way or another, what was said here about LOD is true, when you get closer to those vineyards they will look a lot better but they won't look as good as the trailer either.

 

Oh and for the last time, stop fooling yourself excusing the quality with the "Dev Consoles" they have the same hardware, they use the same technology the only thing they have more then the common consoles is the memory and that doesn't make much difference. They are used to run a few more "Appz" in the background to monitor and tweak the game.

You got to keep in mind that the newer picture in the original post is bigger then the picture from the older trailer, which will make it look like it is a bit worse as well.

BINGO. I agree. the 2011 pic is taken at a closer distance to the vineyard.

 

As far as the two pics of Michael's house and tennis court, the landscaping changed. notice the tall four sided shrub/trees that are tall in the 2011 pic which appear to have been cut down quite a bit in the newer image. looks that way to me at least.

What I do love about the pic is the COLOUR. Its so vibrant and striking, look at the red of the tractor it really stands out even from that distance. I don't recall any screen from GTAIV looking as good.

My god you ppl are stupid. The second screenshot is from like 30 ft in the air and the first is right at ground level. I weep for humanity...

Both of those screens, in terms of the foliage, that hasn't changed much, you're just further away from it and it is mipmapped out and probably not drawing detail layer this far away either. You can tell because some of the finer stray details remain, but the more bulky details are gone. They will show up better up close.

 

I will tell you this much though: Both of those screenshots are not the same version of the game coming on september 17th.

Yeah, they look identical to me. Just not in a cinematic angle.

 

Whether or not either of those pics represent the finished game, time will tell.
