- Frazzlet, on 04/12/2008, -3/+87My opinion differs, I think the graphics considering its a fully open world city without loading are damn good. Some pics disappoint, others look immense.
We'll see. - rikwakefield, on 04/12/2008, -2/+73*sticks fingers in ears" - la la la!!!
- mojorrison, on 04/12/2008, -1/+64Everyone is over-hyping everything these days. Trying to declare everything as the greatest thing in history. I have no doubt that this game will be fun and worth every penny. That's pretty much all that should matter.
- bnorman, on 04/12/2008, -3/+58I hated this article. Only because it led me to believe there were actual flaws to GTA IV, but every time it pointed one out it spun around and said: "Just kidding!! It's actually awesome."
Thanks for wasting my time with things I already knew. - ronaldmonster, on 04/12/2008, -2/+55Who the hell plays GTA for graphics?
- npsken, on 04/12/2008, -1/+38San Andreas was mostly countryside.
- deanypop, on 04/12/2008, -1/+36I love the fact that the graphics are not the focal point. With all the horsepower in the PS3/X360, I'm much happier seeing that devoted into a no-loadtimes huge worldspace, better AI functionality, and integrated great storytelling.
It's pretty rare that the looks of a game alone are enough to make it great... But for sure, you can have a great game with almost no need for extravagant graphics. Witness the popularity of Wii, DS, browser, and even cell phone gaming. - Lazydriver, on 04/12/2008, -1/+34There's helicopters.
- MazeKaz, on 04/12/2008, -0/+27A whole new physics engine that completely surpasses ragdoll in every single point possible, a completely seamless world, a living and breathing city with newly designed smart AI for NPCS, acompletely redesigned combat system similar to Gears of War, a newly revamped and realistic driving, a new concept of "quests" and storyline, a beautiful and realistic enviroment?
Disappointing? I think not. - ferrariman60, on 04/12/2008, -1/+28GTA 4 will not disappoint. The graphics aren't the sharpest, but this game will still get plenty of play from me.
- YoctoYotta, on 04/12/2008, -0/+25Development cycle age has nothing to do with the graphic qualtiy. if Rockstar showed us anything with Table Tennis, it's that the RAGE engine can do nice character models. The issue with GTAIV is that Rockstar has made framerate consistancy their number one priority. They're making sacrifices in the model complexity so that they can send 15 cop cars your way and allow you to send a rocket into their midst without getting a slide show in return.
You may not think this, but it seems like a lot of people here are expecting Bioshock-detail in this GTA world that is exponentially grander in size, which is crazy. - Spuy767, on 04/12/2008, -2/+26It's pretty clear to me that this article was written to drive adertising hits, and we're just playing in their hands.
- Rizin, on 04/12/2008, -0/+21Just as it should be. Graphics are nice and all but if you have no substance then there is no point in having pretty eye candy.
- dondara, on 04/12/2008, -2/+23I've had this on pre-order for almost 9 months now. But they aren't pushing it back again. I hope my job and relationship survive the neglect I will be subjecting them to. When GTA3-SA came out, I didn't even masturbate for almost a month, I was so caught up in the game.
Yeah, I went there. - FongoBongo, on 04/12/2008, -3/+23I thoroughly enjoyed all the other GTAs and I can hardly imagine GTA 4 being a let down. I hope this is a rhetorical question.
- Xelseragoth, on 04/12/2008, -2/+20All articles are written to drive advertising hits... Do you understand what a business is?
- mGARANDEUR1, on 04/12/2008, -7/+24Personally, I thought that the map in San Andreas was a little too big. The amount of ***** that you had to do was also too much (work out, eat, date girls). I would like to see more of a driving game.
- Hoogs, on 04/12/2008, -1/+17You were just waiting to use that South Park line weren't you?
- Qays, on 04/12/2008, -0/+16I think they had to sacrifice the next gen graphics for game play and enormity of the map
- snowrider221, on 04/12/2008, -0/+16The article did mention that this metropolis is indeed smaller than San Andreas.
- Hoogs, on 04/12/2008, -3/+18^^I played Uncharted at my friend's house and it looked no better than Gears of War. Granted, it did look great.
- sitykat, on 04/12/2008, -3/+16hmmm, probably not man. If you hadn't noticed yet, games for the PS3 are not better looking than games designed for the 360. And i'm talking about first party games more than I am about multiplatform titles. I would say that they are on par or that the 360 has the edge. I'm not some biased fanboy either. I really do own both systems and I've noticed that in general games on the 360 look better if not the same as games on the PS3 with minor differences here or there.
- Po0py, on 04/12/2008, -5/+18Thats a poor article, imho. He says the driving sucked in previous gta's. The driving was one of the best elements of the game and each car has had the same handling throughout the series, more or less unchanged. It was spot on. It was the aiming/combat controls that sucked.
Thats a stupid list article designed for digg and not much thought put into it at all. - MacSuxWindozSux, on 04/12/2008, -0/+13Sometimes I just like to drive around... and space is needed.
I run out of space in San Andreas, it's not that hard. - neocr0n, on 04/12/2008, -3/+16Grand Theft Auto as a series has never disappointed me yet. I have no reason to believe this one will.
- euro22, on 12/17/2008, -8/+20In the butt.
- jetboyterp, on 04/12/2008, -1/+12Doesn't matter what anyone says...I know I'm not alone when I say I'll be spending every minute of free time for about three months trying to finish this game.
"It's only 3am. One more mission..." - Zlorp, on 04/12/2008, -0/+10even if its pretty much the same with better graphics, i will still have endless fun just dicking around with everything
- jake8689, on 04/12/2008, -0/+10so basically it going to be more real
- Chazzer3, on 04/12/2008, -0/+10Funny, all those reasons it won't be as good are reasons I think it will be so much better ;-) I mean, I know that's the point of this, but still. It's gonna be sweeeeeet :D
- Ajajadude, on 04/12/2008, -0/+10The only problem with cruising in San Andreas were the ***** who randomly changed lanes right in front of you. And sometimes right into you.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -0/+10You are pretty dumb if you think that they finalize an engine before they build a game around it.
- dondara, on 04/12/2008, -0/+91. you don't know that
2. I bother to respond to ***** who aren't very funny
3. And? - nandasunu, on 04/12/2008, -0/+84. who cares what size disk it comes on?
- rikwakefield, on 04/12/2008, -1/+9*raises hand*
- Foliot, on 04/12/2008, -1/+9RTFA, you still get choppers.
- LordoftheFly, on 04/12/2008, -5/+13Erm.. it's trendy among twelve year olds to /like/ Halo 3.
- trump48257, on 04/12/2008, -1/+9Yea. That is true. But honestly what would you rather have a smaller area with tons of detail & activity or miles and miles of boring countryside?
- dudefather, on 04/12/2008, -1/+8or maybe Rockstar simply didn't want to put planes in the game
- theodenking, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7GTA graphics have always lagged behind the standard because of their huge amount of content, I for one never found it a problem in any of the previous games.
- Planets, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7Nah, of course not! GTA disappointing? Psh. Who could possibly think such a thing?
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -1/+8HAHAHAHAHAH.
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7The game has planes in it, just not flyable planes. I expect the planes will be horse armor.
- trump48257, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7No planes. Kinda hard to fly planes in a metropolitan city :)
- lukasmack, on 04/12/2008, -3/+10Sounds like I'm complaining about this game a lot but it seems they've left out a lot of basic things. Like more customization of characters and little things like that. Planes and jet packs were what made San Andreas fun for me, only reason I played it. I loved going up the mountain and doing crazy ***** in a quad bike or caravan or monster truck off the top of the mountain. The freedom whats made GTA for me. And it appears like they are going backwards.
- je12u, on 04/12/2008, -3/+9what what
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -0/+6Why is Topher getting dugg up? The graphics are definitely better than the previous GTA by a long run and have we forgot no load times and a HUGE open-ended environment? Rockstar did the best they good do. I have a feeling Topher has either never played a GTA before or doesn't have a good grasp on technological limitations.
- wafflesomd, on 04/12/2008, -18/+24It wasn't, but it still sucks.
- Nerfdude, on 04/12/2008, -0/+6san andreas had a lot of land but not a lot in it. it looks like GTA4 is just going to be smaller, but PACKED.
