New Screens From GTA IV

news.filefront.com — Rockstar released four new screens of GTA IV and they are looking really good. Each screenshot speaks volumes in their own way. From what I can tell from these screenshots, it looks like we're all going to be indoors a lot this fall when GTA IV is released. And that's a good thing.

  • The0, on 10/11/2007, -7/+52Why is the cop car in the second screen missing a back left tire?
    • richIsBored, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26I'm not entirely sure why you're getting dugg down. The cop car does appear to be missing a tire. It's just that the missing tire is on the right, not the left. Still it's kind of strange to ignore the substance of your post because of a technicality. I'll digg you up to compensate.

      For those who've missed it, look where the right rear tire should be.

      Any of you conspiracy theorists know whats going on?
    • Hobofuzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+37@d3m3
      The IGN logo has been photoshopped out using the clone tool. Someone isn't very good with photoshop, it seems..
    • The0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Oops, yeah I meant back right. And yes, it appears someone is pretty bad with Photoshop, although they got the muffler out flawlessly, so I don't see why the tire was a problem.

      Obviously you've never been to Brooklyn ..
    • ynggrsshppr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I noticed that on the bridge screenie some of the buildings had entire sides taken out of it. No one noticed that?
  • BugMeNot2, on 10/11/2007, -7/+23The far off building textures in this picture look very "Spider-Man 3-ish". Hopefully they won't be like that when the game ships.

    • Fission, on 10/11/2007, -7/+69@duhstupid

      Good for you. You're the only one.
    • wafflesomd, on 10/11/2007, -42/+9No he isn't.

      You just can't handle the fact that someone else has a different opinion.
    • taintedzodiac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Agreed. He's not the only one, but just because some people don't have a taste for the GTA franchise doesn't mean it's not a great game, either.
    • snowpatrol, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2That's nice...we don't care...if you don't like something, don't post a comment on it. Simple.
  • dugR, on 10/11/2007, -11/+2i sort of was expecting a little better. faces look a little bit waxy. and this pic http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/791/791511/grand-theft-auto-iv-20070524093349557.jpg looks sort of like driver graphics.

    i cant wait for the game though.I'm a big fan of gta.
    • ShuttleDisaster, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12this game is still in development...i'm guessing a lot of these textures are being revamped and it will look much, much better when it ships
    • Mosatii, on 10/11/2007, -13/+3The game wouldn't run if the graphics were much better (and they will be better when development finishes), as it is it will probably have mediocre frame rates on consoles.
  • Dan11023, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3the link is not working. Here is another link

    Hello last gen?
  • tandytk9, on 10/11/2007, -24/+1Those are obviously cut-scenes, not actual gameplay screens, which is obvious from the angle of the camera which would never be in front of the character looking back at him during play.
    • stealth45, on 10/11/2007, -16/+10I can tell it's a cut-scene from some of the camera angles and from seeing quite a few cut-scenes in my time.

      /fail
    • Kormiku, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13The screenshots for the other gtas also have views like this and they werent from cutscenes
    • friend18, on 10/11/2007, -1/+49All the 3d gta games used the ingame graphics for cutscenes. :/
    • Gizza, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13@tandytk9 (#6860319)
      Does it make a difference? It's still ingame graphics either way. And its not necessarily a cut-scene, its their game, they can put the camera anywhere they want for the purpose of screenshots.
  • mikefitz2, on 10/11/2007, -21/+4Show me some ***** in-game ***** with the HUD and I'll get excited. I'm so tired of this pre-rendered bs.
    • MonkeyFit, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Maybe in this one you'll be able to turn the HUD off. Doubt it, but it's possible.
  • Roger, on 10/11/2007, -28/+5"it looks like we're all going to be indoors a lot this fall when GTA IV is released. And that's a good thing."

    Doesn't that contradict the whole point of the game?
    • GrandBreton, on 10/11/2007, -2/+37People usually play their games indoor.
    • thepaulm, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22Wow - I thought I was a gamer but you've got me beat.

      Now listen, when he said "we're all going to be indoors", he meant in real-life we will be indoors... playing GTA IV.
    • Roger, on 10/11/2007, -11/+7Doh! I assumed they meant indoors in the game.

      Don't know what the "And that's a good thing" part of the story description is about then.
  • jpt62089, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Hey it's the Cash cab! lol

    http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/793/793799/img_4572731.html
    • illcendiary, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8hmmm...notice how the headline ticker says "random news"

      maybe theyll have up to date news picked up over live or something? :D

      or maybe they just havent put the actual "news" in the game yet >_>
    • SteelFrog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"maybe theyll have up to date news picked up over live or something? :D"

      That's what I was thinking. Be great if they'd pick up on some news/weather channel's RSS feed. It'd be even better if you could choose which one.
  • jsynnott, on 10/11/2007, -7/+1Did anyone else notice that the 1st and 2nd screenshots looked amazing, yet the 3rd and 4th looked uterly horrible?

    I dont see why they get the impression that there'' be alot more indoors stuff from one screenshot.
  • orangester, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20Quick! Somebody call Jack Thompson, seeing these screens trigger violent impulses!
  • yensed, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9A lot of those IGN pictures have REALLY bad compression. They have very small filesizes, but look like crap.
  • Iamonacomputer, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1@yensed

    I'd hope so because usually rockstar games don't graphically impress me.

    I miss max payne.
  • potdarko, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2looks almost as good as gta 2!
  • koshbaby, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12It also appears that Rockstar now has enough processing power under the hood of next-gen systems to give road surfaces some attention, too. It was always a pet peeve of mine that the cars in the GTA universe had fantastic physics but were put into a world where roads had such hard angles. It was goofy at times because as you drove down a hill, the car would bob up and down as you hit each polygon 'edge'. In one picture you can see that the roads now slope very nicely. Furthermore, in the picture that shows the main character in a car coming at the camera, if you look in the bottom left hand corner you can see a big pothole. I'm sure that Rockstar put that in the shot on purpose... it is that kind of attention to minute details that makes me love Rockstar and the GTA franchise.
    • superal1394, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Haha, I love watching the cars bob up and down, its hilarious.

      The cars seem too reflective..
    • Aliarse, on 10/11/2007, -11/+2@koshbaby (#6860468)
      Fantastic Physics and Grand Theft Auto in the same sentence?

      Bah hahahaha.
  • Lanistils, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8looks like this game is going to have weather and season effects that dwarf the previous games.
  • Iamonacomputer, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3that would be cool if the roads had a bumpy feel to them. I hope i can get a harpoon in this game, or some weapon attached to a rope to bring the victim back. like scorpion!
  • SuperiorKarsch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13I smuggled people.

    ...anyone else hoping for that in gameplay???
  • adude, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Wow, I think I may actually buy a PS3 or XBox just for this.... otherwise, I'd have to wait like a millennium until they release the PC version
  • Redemption289, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from the new GTA, but this does make me consider purchasing the game.
  • opiophile, on 10/11/2007, -13/+1It looks like a four year old scribbled artwork for this game. Also, what's with the stop sign wheels? It looks like lego land, only blockier! MOHAA looked better than this tripe.

    Isn't there one halfway average game coming in 2007? So far, everything I've seen looks like crap. Might as well pull out my old original Nintendo...the graphics are almost as appealing.

    Also, hopefully they'll let us sodomize our victims in this game.
  • tensaibaka, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Damn, this and Ace Combat 6 really make me want an XBox 360.
    But the real question, is the DJ Lazlo going to be back on the radio? What about K-Talk and the Australian War?
  • BulletsforRingo, on 10/11/2007, -12/+1Did anyone notice the Famous Stars and Straps necklace?

    http://i14.tinypic.com/4vnhtep.jpg
    • MScrip, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10I'm pretty sure he's wearing a necklace shaped like Africa.
    • Hobofuzz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11o_O
      Dude, that's Africa.
    • thoughtudied999, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@bulletsforringo
      lol What are you smoking? That looks nothing like the Famous Stars and Straps logo...
  • handler, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Wow, this game sure has evolved from the GTA:London game.
  • chubbybubba, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12looks ten times better than halo 3!
  • Lonline, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Looks really great... GTA rules :)
  • Spazkake, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I don't understand why this story was submitted so many times but only now makes it to the front page.
    • illspirit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Some of these screens are brand new and have just been released by R*.
  • cambob76, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14When's the freakin' PC version gonna come out? Since it's gonna be out for the PS3 and seXBox360 at the same time (I think I heard that), why not the PC? My 8800GTX is ready to crunch some blood splattered polygons.

    Oh.. and by the way... a bird ***** on Bush. Mother Nature is one of the good guys.
    • DroogInPhoenix, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Your telling me, same card and a quad core, hopefully crysis will last me untill the pc port.
  • katanaswordfish, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7http://news.filefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/gtaivscreen3.jpg

    This screen shot pretty much confirms the appearance of the Jamaican "Yardie" gang from GTA3, due to the colors on his shirt and belt are the colors of the Jamaican flag.
    Which also suggests the return of the reggae/dub radio station K-Jah. Which is awesome as hell if you ask me! =D
    • Bucketshred, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I don't know man, its possible they could be making more unique NPCs so you aren't always running into the same person around every other corner. But then again, you never know.
  • Beevo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0Hmm..my crappy computer would never run it. And to this point I've refused to buy a new console, but it looks like I'm gonna have to break down and buy one now. I refuse to buy consoles until there are at least 2 games I REALLY want to play. With Oblivion bringing my PC to it's knees, I think it's time to buy a 360 and play though it again.
    • Septimus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1You've missed a lot of good games through that line of thought.

      For this and Oblivion it doesn't matter if you get a 360 or a PS3.
  • chaos7, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1these graphics actually look pretty good. all other GTA game graphics SUCKKKKKKKKKK.
  • wazzadoin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Well while the graphics are not top-notch, they are an improvement over gta3:sa/ heh
  • schizogony, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1Still doesn't look as good as Wreckless on Xbox.
  • Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Meh.

    *secretly changes underwear*
    • NickyBatts, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3... and to think we have to wait until November for this game to come out.

      Argh!
    • legislate, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0yes please keep it a secret that you just came on yourself over the GTA man.
  • pcarm92, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Was I the only one who noticed that the license plates are strikingly similar to the NY license plate?
  • davewashere, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Of course the license plates look like New York's. It's almost as if Liberty City is a fictional version of New York City.

    I'm still confused about the missing wheel thing. Even in the picture with the wheel, it appears to be in the wrong place. Shouldn't it be more forward? Compare it to the driver side rear wheel. The wheel on the passenger side appears to be under the trunk of the car. It makes me wonder if this is really an in-game shot or just a quick mock-up the developers made to appease us while they try to figure out how to make the game actually look like that.
  • Teku, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Whats will all the glow they put into games now, you can see it especially in the first shot. I live near NYC and it certainly doesn't glow.
    • formfactor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Oh thats not glow, its the light reflecting off the buildings and disipating in the surrounding smog. ;)
  • Kenegan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Personally, I'm still playing and enjoying GTA III and this looks good to me. Providing they have the same excellent game play, roaming, replay value and dodgy Manchester accents, I'll be a happy bunny!
  • HiRezl, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Did anyone else notice the shop that said Stanley`s Fireproof (something)? I wonder if you`ll be able to buy fireproofing, bulletproofing, etc. for the cars in this one . . .
  • aserer511, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1unreal. and i love how they made the cop cars and taxis the same model, just kike in real life.
  • taintedzodiac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Jack Thompson's gonna be pissed!

    (Sorry, it's obligatory.)
  • thoughtudied999, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I think this is just Rockstar's style, but to me the graphics in GTA always look dated.
  • mfdave, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0did no one else notice they spelled 'restaurant' wrong?

    look! http://news.filefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/gtaivscreen2.jpg
    • thoughtudied999, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I think they were incorporating a little Engrish into the landscape of Chinatown. I assume it's misspelled on purpose as a joke.
    • specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You're not used to the gta world do ya?
  • thisisbs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Awesome more building pictures!!!! If i was an architect i would've probably just creamed myself...but i am not so, there?

    I'm Ron Burgundy
