General gaming news

Fuck Capcom.

[Xavier]

Need to see actual gameplay before I can judge the graphics. Too easy to do a misleading trailer. Looks pretty good though, if thats how the game actually plays. (GTA4)

[Po]

The good news is that all the cutscenes in the 3 GTA III's used the same graphics as when you are actually playing. So that should mean that is what the city will look like when we play too.

I just hope they do the draw distance as good as Crackdown.

That Capcom exec calling his own company's business decisions "convoluted" and referring to Capcom's NDAs when he works for Capcom is way unprofessional. This guy needs to go to Phil Harrison spin school.

am i the only one not impressed by the gta4 trailer? i mean yah it's simulating new york and it's a huge city and everything but... the level of texture of the buildings/streets/environment and human models really aren't that impressive compared to say gears and some other games seen on trailers and to be released around the same time

Considering you will be driving a motorcycle 100+ mph through time square while shooting at the guy you are after..

The specific close in detail of GTA isn't the point and never has been.. it is the scale.

Yeah. They used a motion-blur to kind of get around the graphics, which although were never bad, were never the best the system had to offer.

[GRT]

you might be right, but i was just expecting something more

remember that tech demo of london shown two years ago on ps3's debut on e3? think it's announced later as trailer for "the getaway 3" or something... anyway, the details of that simulation were absolutely incredible and it was comfirmed to not be pre-rendered and running 60fps... so two years later you'd expect a real game to have that

i hope it's not a result of rockstar not trying to trying to fit the game on a dvd9

[Po]

Yea that's the problem with these ginormous releases. You come to expect so much, and then when the actual game releases you are somewhat disappointed, it is the nature of the beast.

But imo, I think it looked great.

Can you guess which one is on the ps2? Really..if the the whole city or cities look anything similar it'd be pretty fucking amazing.

We weren't really shown anything in terms of city structure, once the gameplay footage comes out I'm sure..most opinions will change.

Can you guess which one is on the ps2? how is that not an improvement?

They link to the same file.

EDIT: play-asia has 20% off everything sale for you importers

[Exoduso]

They're the exact same link, so naturally they would look the same lol.

[blister1]

Edited again..should work now >_>

[Semitry]

2nd one doesn't exist.

[Exoduso]

Yup 2nd link won't work.

[Cleveland]

Both work for me...but I don't see how you can compare them...

Pic 1: Complete product, probably in beta testing. Cars, shading, lighting, shadows, weather, clouds, etc.

Pic 2: Pic from about 1 st month of game production. No lighting, no weathe,r no shadows, etc. Basically just buildings.

[Exoduso]

Yet they look pretty similar lol.

GTA was never about good graphics anyways.

[Norelco]

They're the exact same link, so naturally they would look the same lol.

hehe
