In what way? Do you mean they are not the same as the single player graphics?

I would be incredibly hyped for the multiplayer if Microsoft wasn't dangling a console ban and account ban hammer over my head. This is over the Costa Rica/Bosnia/Oman shit. In hindsight getting free shit was not worth potentially missing out on GTA online action.
On another note, for those playing, how is performance/lag thus far? Equivalent to single player performance wise? Better? Worse?

Any US people get it yet?
Holy shit, character creation is a lot more in depth than I thought it would be. This isn't terrible by any means. Expecting some sort of Elder Scrolls caliber character creator is incredibly far fetched for GTA Online.
The Lifestyle point allocation is the most interesting/odd part.

Yup. The aliasing "jaggies" seems alot worse and the textures seem lower. Also the shadows seem to be missing. At the moment its night time but I'll wait until it gets to day time.
I'll take some snaps then compare to the single player.
No US update for PS3

WTf @ the GTAOnline intro being a better "LA" intro than the singleplayer.

Hell no.
I wonder if they are playing it installed to the HDD?
EDIT: I asked him. He said it is not installed to the HDD.

Neither. My brother got the update on 360 though.
But a poster above said it was terrible. Who am I supposed to believe?

That initial cutscene was a better "city intro" than the campaign. I guess it makes sense from the character's perspective since your online character is fresh to the city, but still. It's not amazing or anything, but it stuck out to me.

The intro itself is better, the pop-in is ten times worse.
Me neither
I liked the single player intro better, it showed the perspectives and backstory that would make up a lot of the story.
GTA Online showed streets literally popping and a tennis match. Not bad for the online component, ambitious type of intro in some ways, but it wasn't as good as the single player intro. The online intro felt corny, but not in a bad way.
It wasn't that bad, minus the pop-in. Actually quite enjoying the contextualization of your character in the city, totally unnecessary but a cool touch.

Everyone is talking about "pop-in"...what does that mean??
When the textures (eg. Buildings, trees etc.) appear out of thin air all of a sudden. It's been an issue ever since GTA3.
Assets in the game (buildings, lights, etc) just "appear out of thin air".

Character creator had you like what?
Is the creator any good? Is a hot, stripper character, out of the question?

I'm not talking about pop-in or any technical stuff, just how it introduced the setting. Way better camera angles and classic "Los Angeles in movies" lighting.

Judging from the mini map, your character in GTA Online has a much larger meter for armor and possibly more health. The special ability meter has been replaced for a longer armor meter, probably meaning you are more protected in GTA Online.
Thing is, the idea of something opening up with "welcome to _______!" seems really forced and corny. No GTA has really done it like that, usually the main character is picked up at an airport, dock, or in GTA V's case the characters have been simply living there.

This is the best way to handle character creation in any game.

I think you could trigger updates by doing a network test (on 360)
Im not sure if it works for game updates as well or just system updates but you could try that

Can you start GTA Online at the start of the game? Just curious, as while me and my brother have finished the game, he's yet to actually start the game on his profile he's using for online.
