- drawkward84, on 12/06/2007, -2/+57I didn't see a single dead hooker. These must be fakes.
- UnknownCzar, on 12/06/2007, -2/+21I think that's as good as they will get.
Games like bioshock and gow have no more then 20 individual characters on screen, gtaiv is suppose to have dozens of characters, plus the much larger environments also play a factor in this. It either reduce the amount of characters on screen and increase the fog, or lower 3d quality graphics. I for one am glad with their choice. - inactive, on 12/06/2007, -5/+22The city itself looks amazing but I'm afraid that the character models still need some work. Keep it up, guys!
- davidsmero, on 12/06/2007, -1/+16Somewhere out there, there is an angry pissed off Jack Thompson.

- crussell96, on 12/06/2007, -0/+8I wouldn't say bad but they were never the best. I expect the same with GTAIV and I'm fine with that.
- thekms, on 12/06/2007, -2/+9These graphics may not be top of the line, but it's a HUGE step up from the past GTA games.
This game will kick ass, no doubt about it. - peagle, on 12/06/2007, -0/+6Seeing as none of the GTA games including the 2D overhead originals, were nothing less than awesome sauce, I believe your spidey-sense is merely constipation in this event.
- PISTOLcm, on 12/06/2007, -0/+6No, that was a good game. The public opinion ruined it for them.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -2/+8Why is it that most articles that I read, say that the Xbox 360 has ~5% equal graphics power in comparison to the Playstation 3, yet everyone on Digg seems to think that the PS3 is a badass super computer on crack and the Xbox 360 is a hyped up calculator?
Did everyone just buy into Sony's marketing and not read any articles on the matter? - zengonzo, on 12/06/2007, -0/+5Hell, think every GTA console game to date.
- crossower, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4It probably will be, maybe a couple months later than the console versions. Think Assassin's Creed.
- Jacksc, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4Both angry and pissed off, that is
- DudleyInnocent, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5You are aware that the 360's GPU is more powerful than the PS3's, right? Before you throw the "Cell" out into the arguement, I'd like to remind you that a processor is meant to crunch numbers, not make things pretty.
- Warden72, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4Impressed by the presentation. Now let's see some gameplay.
- BamBam55, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5I agree,the characters are never up to par. But the gameplay always makes up for it.
- BigLou, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5I'll excuse the graphics if the city environment and population is seemless and has a large draw distance.
- kris33, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4He should be pissed on instead of pissed off.
- caselogic, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3no it wasn't a good game.
- zengonzo, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3Not super detailed, maybe. But always a good style, and effective for the game. They simply focus on the gameplay and give the graphics only as much attention as they need. From what I've seen, it's going to be the physics that take a step up in this iteration.
- Christbait, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3I always thought GTA3 had pretty damn good graphics at the time of the PS2, and were enhanced further on the Xbox. So I would partly disagree with this statement, but as the games got bigger, the graphics became a casualty.
- Godmil, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2the argument can be tightened if it was changed to Rockstar North (Since it was the London team that made Manhunt2).
- MogusMaximus, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2Euphoria by Natural Motion is going to make this game awesome.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2The trailer is out. http://www.rockstargames.com/gta4
- hollowex, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2Oh man. He sounds like the guy from Dethklok. It's going to be hard to play with out laughing
- Christbait, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2Rockstar have never made a bad nor uncreative game.
- objectcode, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1is that a replica in his hand?
- kue04, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1Na, photoshopped the hookers out.
- MyDigitalSin, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1it's looking more and more like max payne.
awesome. - Verz, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2The character shading looks similar to Mario Galaxy's. Notice the white glow around the inside of the characters, even when it's dark.
- FishHammer, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2i'm just gonna wait for the trailer. screenshots never seem to do a game like this justice.
- Icecold54, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1Well, from the trailer i saw, there were some slight framerate issues. Although i don't know what system the game was running on in the trailer, it seems that "dumbing it down for the 360" doesn't suffice for either console, be it 360 or PS3. There still are slight FPS drops that are noticeable.
- rodrigorules, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1game doesnt look as cool as old gta games,but that might because 'welcome to the jungle' isnt playing in the background
- jellygraph, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2looks awesome, guess I'll just have to buy myself an Xbox 360 as well then
- mad23dog, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1Does anyone know the name of the song that was playing?
- Spartan225, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2Manhunt 2?
- Christbait, on 12/07/2007, -1/+2Dunno why people are expecting super fantastic graphics for a console game.
But they are a big step up from the last titles at least - it's a massive game with lots of details so devs are going to be a bit more reservant on going all out with the visuals, but still it looks very gritty and better than Saints Row 1&2 (which are horrible games anyway). Either way I bought an X360 2 years ago for this game exactly, and can barely wait. - buddamus, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1Now I can get back to killing hookers and dealing drugs while the mothers campaign to get sick things like Rock music of the shelfs
- robotexplorer, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1they just need to tighten up the graphics a little bit. and just to think their moms thought they would never get anywhere with those games!
- Godmil, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1Yeah, GTA has always favoured lower polycounts, to cope with the huge world... but I'm not sure about the skin shader they're using, everything looks a bit plasticy... though hopefully that's an easy fix (strange they haven't done it yet though).
- marcusmaxximus, on 12/06/2007, -1/+1shouldn't this be in the "images" section?
the game looks great, by the way - aristotle0dude, on 12/06/2007, -6/+6That's because they have to dumb down the gfx for the 360.
- cosmosprince, on 12/07/2007, -1/+1but seems they focussed a lot on animation.
a pretty character model that is badly animated will still look awful. However, an ugly character model that is well animated will look pretty.
Halo 1 had crappy cinematic character animations whereas GTA3/Vice City had their cinematic character animations motion-captured so I guess there's no contest there. They both have roughly the same character model detail but GTA's animation looks more appealing. - AntonLee, on 12/26/2007, -0/+0the gameplay is going to be nothing like GTA3/GTAVC/GTASA that's the game I fell in love with.. . now I have to hotwire the friggin car before I can take it? I can't get on top of a building and shoot people all day? What fun is that? AND it's not available on the PS2
nothing like the best ones, I won't be buying it. - crossower, on 12/06/2007, -0/+0It was meh at best.
- tjsocr1, on 02/24/2008, -0/+0Talk about GTA 4 and get the latest new's updates at http://www.lamelime.com =)
- RossDuprey, on 12/07/2007, -2/+2That settles it, I'm buying the PS3 to play GTA4, just like I bought the PS2 to play GTA3.
