I don't know what you are talking about because all I can think is "Damn! A mission with car-carrier truck dumping cars to block the police? THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME!"
RDR was using just 2xMSAA
GTA4 was 2XMSAA which broke in a lot of places, plus it used a nasty post process filter, plus bloom to make the game look blurry. If you notice, the game is actually sharper at night.
The thing is that the RDR shots were way sharper than those GTAV shots.
Blocky shadows, free-floating foliage and aliasing.
Welp, that pretty much wraps it up for GTA V.
At least the console version framerate will be more than up to your standards.
That shark is effing huge! It looks more like a whale shark than a Great White. Hopefully they readjust it some to make it more anatomically correct. If that's supposed to be a Great White it would be the fattest Great White ever.
Jaggy windscreen wipers, blocky shadow?
WHAT AN UGLY FUCKIN GAME, WHAT IS THIS, PLAYSTATION 1 GAME LOL
Way to pick out the most inconsequential thing in a still screenshot, ignoring how the whole game looks trolls
Of course its the console version. Rockstar said the trailer and the shots are from the ps3. PC version isnt even confirmed yet, remember.

Just pointing out that these could possibly just be console screenshots.
I think the 2nd trailer is evidence enough that they aren't doing that. This game's tone seems to be a bit more "reckless abandon" in comparison to GTAIV, and the characters seem to revel in their jobs way more than Niko did. Truthfully, I'm glad they've lightened up a bit. The nature of this series is too ridiculous for the narrative and protagonist to be so serious. Not to mention vanilla GTAIV was extremely light on mission variety and had terrible controls. Plus if you're going to make a serious crime drama, it has to be intense. The only thing intense about GTAIV was the struggle between my hands and getting Niko to take cover, or shoot someone through a doorway.
There's a time and place for "mature and realistic." In terms of tone, GTA is not the time nor the place.
Did anyone figure out what the thing was in the water in that one screen?
Someone said sharks fin but it didn't look like one.
I'm blind enough from years of squinting so I'm trying to save a couple nowadays
Well.. You can have a more mature and more realistic game and still have all of the above and more. Just like real life isn't just about being serious and follow some narrow corridor. In many ways RDR was more mature than GTAIV - and still in many ways more fun. So when some of us are talking about how we loved that GTAIV went more mature and want GTAV the be even more so, we don't necessarily mean we want less fun and options.
PLEASE tell me there will be meaningful underwater exploration. That would make me buy this game.
The ocean terrifies me in real life, but I would love to do this in a video game.
Holy Crap! I didn't even think of this! If they include fishing this may be the last game I ever buy...I'm not big on fishing in real life. But if there's some kind of check list (like in RDR) for catching an elusive blue marlin or other types of sea life, that would be relevant to my interests.
Are you serious?Underwater is completely fleshed out now, city size confirmed too if I remember correctly.
Source on this? anybody?Just thinking about them saying that there will be the equivalent of 2 Red Dead Redemption's maps of fully detailed ocean bottoms, with coral reefs, underwater caves and shit.
Oh boy.

Yeah, I wonder how extensive the underwater wildlife is going to be. Could be crazy.
imagine going waaaay out into the ocean with the submersible and seeing a pack of humpback whales or a blue whale :O
could GTAV be the best nature game of all time? yes it could.
hope theres a giant squid or some other sea monster out there to find cant wait
didn't RDR have like 40 different species or something? i don't think Rockstar is going to half-ass this aspect of the game. i expect to see crabs, dolphins, turtles etc. coral reefs with lots of tiny fish etc would be cool as well. but most of all i want to be able to dive reeeeally deep and to see massive whales and squids.
They should hide Leviathan at the deepest point of the ocean and have Bigfoot skulking around the mountains.
I'd love an ongoing side quest that lets you snap pics of wildlife for extra cash/rewards. On land or underwater.
So many people didn't play Endless Ocean 2Throw in a good treasure hunt aspect with good or fun rewards and the game will be complete for me.
Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.The hell are you saying. Saying you want a game to be more mature is fundamentally stupid and it makes you sound like a pompous jackass. GTAiv was in no way more mature than San Andreas, it was just more boring.
Source on this? anybody?
Indeed. It'd be awesome if they go flying once they're hit it sorta like the GG in HL2.A spear gun for above and below water would be grand.
Hah.OMG WE GET TO BE JAMES CAMERON
This is what the foliage looks like to me.

Hotline Miami made me really want a new Vice City. Could you imagine that kind of soundtrack during missions? I mean the radio stations would be official stuff, but it could be in the background during it.
"Any chance that Vice City might return in a future GTA?":
It is always a possibility. There are a few references to the city in our current-gen GTAs so it is part of that HD universe, and it is certainly somewhere we would love to revisit. However Vice City, perhaps more than any other GTA game, was as much about the era as the setting. Miami in the 1980's is so iconic it would feel strange to revisit the city in a different time period.
Of course at some point we would like to have one big world containing all our cities and let the player fly between them and revisit their favorite areas, and in that context reimagining Vice City would be very interesting.
We had talked about doing the Everglades. I think we even roughed some of it in. That would have been great. Basically expanding out of the city into the surroundings would be good, you get such good contrasts, but that was something that we devoted a lot of energy to in the later games.
Rockstar can't make gud gamez.I'm with Dennis on this one.
Is it really that hard to make convincing leaves? (No it isn't) Or is just the general mismanagement of Rockstar to blame?
GTA VI; Aaron garbut (Art Director) spoke about this recently.
