Barad Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Daily reminder: Everyone who says that the graphics suck or lacks details should consider that we are playing on 8 year old hardware. And it's pretty impressive if you ask me. I'm okay with slightly polished GTA IV graphics. To me a fluent gameplay with little to no lags is more important than better graphics and 5fps. Totally agree. IV looks pretty damn good, and even looks decent today for a 5+ year old game. V graphics from what I've seen so far look hugely improved, and more realistic than ever. Don't understand what more people want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I X I Shock I Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 At least one local EB Games store has sold 3 copies already. Damn, them be pirates! Better hope corporate doesn't find out, I smell a change of management/employees. I know for a fact they don't tolerate that one bit, and with it being R*, expect tolerances to be even lower.

V graphics from what I've seen so far look hugely improved, and more realistic than ever. Don't understand what more people want. IV is pretty bad even for anything around its time, the PC version is no better either (playing it literally right now) with mods to update textures and even then. I'm not saying V is bad at all, from what i've seen it looks great but you are in a very small minority if you say IV looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killerchronic Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 i agree though this is coming from 2005 hardware so calm down If that was at me, PC hardware is not 2005 and the version for the PC took months to come out after, nothing was fixed though, textures were no better. I even stated that compared to things at the time (by which i implied other games on the same console, sorry figured that was obvious) it was bad. I loved GTA IV, i am playing it as i write this, ok its paused right now but once i hit submit thats what im doing again. PC, with mods to improve textures and really not any huge great thing. Picked it up in the steam sale and as the acheivements apply to my gamertag, why not But saying its gfx at the time were good when there was alot better out is something different, i respect that its a big game and also open world but this simply was not the case, bugs, glitches were just to big. I'm an avid Elder Scrolls fan so i know how big things can get and i know how easy it si for bugs to get missed, this wasnt the case, this was simply framerate and gfx issues throughout most of it. It played fine so to speak, but drops and glitches were quite obvious. No game is perfect, but this had big issues at lauch, some were fixed in later patches, others not at all. Google it, ignore the muppets but there is legitimate responses that detail things that could of or should be fixed, alot still not fixed to this day.

You're saying the GTA IV looked the same as Xbox...? Maybe if you were playing on low at 1024x769 reso. Playing 4 at 1920x1080 Ultra and it looks grand spanking. GTA 4 on xbox lagged like a motherfu****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGHighCharity Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 This game looks visually amazing. GTA IV did look for awhile, before it got to the point where Im driving over the bridge from Algonqiun really fast and it makes it look like Im driving in the road.
