Looks good!

 

[gstaff]

well, the bodies in the exploding car certainly look cool

 

[scissorfight]

Looks pretty good to me...cars need better reflections, though. When's the expected release? Q1 2006?

 

[neptunes]

John Cena

 

[sangreal]

I think the e3 demo looked better

2005

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I hope there isn't much pop in like current GTA like games.

 

[Wario64]

why aren't these in 16x9?

 

[Lakitu]

Looking good!

 

[LegendofJoe]

Car models look like crap

 

[Ultra Magnanimous]

Looks pants.

 

[sangreal]

why aren't these in 16x9?

they are

well, some are

 

[Nerevar]

Looks fantastically mediocre.

they are

the second and fourth aren't.

 

[radrelic]

Doesn't look that impressive imo

 

[Coin Return]

Good to see the cars explode and actual parts go flying.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Looks...off to me.

The cars and people look like junk, but the backgrounds are decent. It really looks very "this gen" to me though.

 

[Prine]

shite

 

[dark10x]

Looks fantastic for a GTA-style game. It could use some more dramatic lighting, though...

 

[Razoric]

The E3 version looked better. Wtf happened? 30%?

 

[sangreal]

Are there other areas in this game?

Looks fantastic for a GTA-style game. It could use some more dramatic lighting, though...

the lighting looks really good in the video

 

[Lo-Volt]

That looks alright, but I do think the E3 target video or whatever it was looked better. I could only imagine how the 2005 release date may be preventing the game from reaching its visual potential. And tell that dude to pick his pants up.

 

[radrelic]

the explosions look horrible :lol

 

[sangreal]

here is a link to the e3 demo for those who haven't seen it

[Unison]

Come on. This is next-gen?!?! :lol

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Come on. This is next-gen?!?! :lol

Explain please Unison

 

[Wario64]

"Sex shop 69"


oh shit, here comes JACK THOMPSON!!


unison doesnt need to explain anything, that screen looks like shit

 

[Razoric]

Come on. This is next-gen?!?! :lol

dude you get a customizable "homie". what more do you want. :lol

 

[Fatalah]

looks really plain. who's developing this?

edit- ah THQ, should've known it was you.

 

[Elios83]

Bah...buh.....meh...bleah

 

[u_neek]

The E3 demo looks awesome - bet it looks much better in motion.

looks really plain. who's developing this?

Volition - you know, Red Faction..

 

[Lo-Volt]

looks really plain. who's developing this?

edit- ah THQ, should've known it was you.

Well, Volition, but yeah.

Edit: in second place.

 

[Unison]

Explain please Unison

I don't want to get into a debate where we're quibbling over textures, but I don't see any great leap forward from something like this:

 

[LegendofJoe]

When R* finally shows off their next-gen GTA this will look like dog turd in comparison, I really don't see anything impressive going on in those screens.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I don't want to get into a debate where we're quibbling over textures, but I don't see any great leap forward from something like this:

I'm not going to quibble over textures, but Spider-Man 2 didn't have any sort of lighting like whats going into this game.

I will admit, it doesn't look as hot as other things we have seen, but maybe it's scope is really large and it has to make some compromises.

 

[Razoric]

I don't want to get into a debate where we're quibbling over textures, but I don't see any great leap forward from something like this:

oh no now you've done it... let me be the first to say "diminishing returns" :lol

the new universal excuse for shit graphics.

 

[radrelic]

wait for the delta kits

 

[sangreal]

I don't want to get into a debate where we're quibbling over textures, but I don't see any great leap forward from something like this:

This game may look like shit, but it still looks 10x better than that screenshot.

 

[dorio]

Yes, rockstar is the god of graphics. :rolleyes

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Where do you people derive your expectations from?

Yeah, but Spider-Man 2 was hardly optimized to take advantage of the Xbox. It clearly had the PS2 as its main platform. I didn't pick Spider-Man 2 because it looks fucking amazing. I picked it because it's the same sort of game and it shows just how little things are progressing next-gen. The addition of some fancy lighting and a prettier sky texture simply don't impress me.

That's fine, I just wanted you to explain yourself so I understood what you meant exactly.

Saint's Row has better textures, better character models, better lighting, better sky, better physics, better buildings and less aliasing. There is no comparison between the two.

edit: I'm not saying Saint's Row looks amazing at all. It looks like a high end PC game. It doesn't look anything like a current-gen console game, however.

Where do you people derive your expectations from?

PS3 demos

But when people said that about GTA on PS2, the Xbots were out in force decrying that statement! I don't know which way to turn!

SOMEBODY TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD BE ENJOYING THESE SCREENSHOTS PLEASE

 

[LegendofJoe]

Yes, rockstar is the god of graphics. :rolleyes

Never said they were, but I'm fairly certain GTA 4/ GTA: Vegas or whatever they call it will look a heck of a lot better than this.

heh =)

 

[Flo_Evans]

pre-rendered sony videos

 

[Redbeard]

Generic urban thuggery = meh.

Frame City looks more interesting.

I'll use my Emperor of the Xbots (can I have that as my tag btw?) credentials to declare these screenshots...a bit shite.

Like I've said before....the next gen will sort the men from the boys....and I'm getting a kindagarten feeling with those screenies.

I have no idea what the Xbots were saying back then. I wasn't here

I will take your word for it.

Believe whatever you like

 

[Blimblim]

I like the dynamic stencil shadows with self shadowing of every 3d object of these screens. They really need to work on the lighting.
