Ah man that stream just got shut down when they were about to start playing some Team mode.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

When he finally gets into a team game, Rockstar shuts it down.

 

[Loudninja]

Can someone explain this resolution business to me? I'm a little confused... I mean, all I want to know is if I play the PS3 version on an HDTV, will it look good? If I play Alan Wake on an HDTV, will that look good? Will these games look blurry or something? I mean... if it looks good, then why the freak out?

Yeah so far those who either played the Ps3 version or has it said it does not look blurry.So I wouldn't worry about it.

[Sn4ke_911]

I'm really impressed. No lag, everything is so smooth.

 

[sdornan]

I have decided to wait for the PC version (I dont care what they say, it WILL come out) since I spent tons of money on my new rig. Enjoy the game guys, please let us know of any criticisms!

Not trying to discredit your decision, but do keep in mind how the PC port of GTAIV turned out.

 

[FrankT]

Hope R*s ninjas are getting paid well this weekend heh. Got to be busy.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Why are publishers so tight about the game launching on a specific date? Why are R* scrambling to close down any videos and streams? I remember before the GTA launch reviews, most people didn't even know what the gameplay looked like.

I actually purchased it for 7 bucks off steam last weekend, I know it had issues initially, but with my rig and everything turned up high, there is no way, absolutely no way, that it looks inferior. Believe me. lol.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I'm really impressed. No lag, everything is so smooth.

There was never really a lot of "LAG" in GTAIV either, it was just the framerate dropping to what felt like 20fps in multiplayer. Even with that, I still REALLY enjoyed free roam in that game.

Another thing...Why does nighttime in some of these streams look kinda bright with a more gray sky, but some nighttime screens, and gameplay I've seen (like the "I'm a TREASURE HUNTER SON" guy) have looked really dark, and beautiful? Is it the capture card, or the game settings these people put their stuff on?

Probably depends on the moon waxing and waning.

GTA4 had ingame brightness, sat. and contrast settings, if you remember.

Related, why hasn't that dude found a way to keep streaming? He was the best. R* should've let that one go and shut down the 4channer instead.

That;s what i was about to say. :lol

I'm getting the 360 version then if the PC version does come out waiting to see if it's not the mess that GTA:IV PC was before they finally fixed it.

Back up I see.

 

[Death Dealer]

Yeah so far those who either played the Ps3 version or has it said it does not look blurry.So I wouldn't worry about it.

It doesn't look blurry, the textures are nice. The horses look like the videos, with the bulging muscle details. You walk along a rock wall early on in the game, and the rock textures seemed crisp. Some other rocks by a river had some normal mapping or one of those fake depth masks, it looks good.

But like I've been saying, at times, the jaggies are very noticable. Does anyone remember the original VF4 on PS2 ?
Every once in a while, it looks like that. You get the texture crawl along a sharp edge. The towns are where you notice it the most. Out in the wilderness, the IQ looks great.

I'm no expert but I'll be surprised if the PS3 version has zero AA. It seems to me like it's not a constant FSAA, but there is some form of edge smoothing, at least on some things.

I know there is a lack of PS3 streams. Wished I could help, but I don't have the equipment. My X1800 can only capture s-video or composite.

I've had that guys stream open in my tabs for an hour was hilarious when he just started up the game.

 

[UrbanRats]

Oh damn, listen to the fucking sound design!
Dat wind...

 

[Teknoman]

GTA4 had ingame brightness, sat. and contrast settings, if you remember.

My only problem was that GTAIV was the only game thats been too dark at times.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

That WAS a problem with GTAIV for me as well, but RDR looks to be much more sharp, and clearer without a filter on it so I suspect that won't be a problem anymore.

Nice sniping action. Love it

New Video Game Lets Players Hogtie and Murder Nuns
By STEPHEN C. WEBSTER

Rockstar Games has found a way to top itself yet again.

The notorious creators of Grand Theft Auto, which spawned the infamous stripper trick and the Hot Coffee mod, have a new game: Red Dead Redemption.

Like any sandbox-style game, it’s full of wide-open space where players can spontaneously live out their whims of heroism or villainy

:lol

I haven't read the article but it looks like it contains spoilers so you might want to avoid it if you don't want to be spoiled. I just love that headline.

WILHELM SCREAM!

 

[dread9]

nice stream ^^^^, hate autoaim though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Quincey]

when you play on expert aiming, is the reticule just the dot without the outter circle around it?

 

[~Kinggi~]

The sound in this game is amazing.

 

[Melville]

The only thing I want to see now is a direct-feed gameplay video of the PS3 version.

 

[Zeliard]

Sunsets and sunrises in this game are

 

[Net_Wrecker]

The Mexican style map looks like the end of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.

 

[dread9]

Can someone tell darkymax to stfu

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

WILHELM SCREAM!

I know!

Seems so appropriate.

 

[xxracerxx]

Can someone tell darkymax to stfu

No kidding....also EnviousBird

 

[~Kinggi~]

Loading in the game seems ridiculous. Not too crazy about that.

 

[xxracerxx]

Whistle? What is that for? Stealth?

Loading in the game seems ridiculous. Not too crazy about that.

He just went from one game to another that was almost over, then to the game he is in now....not too bad really.

Yea saw that too,

The gametypes all take a pretty good amount of time to finish so it's not like you're loading every 5 minutes anyway.

 

[xxracerxx]

Holy shit his Miner character looks like Bigfoot.

 

[speculawyer]

WILHELM SCREAM!

I crack up every time I hear it in Team Fortress 2. I'm so tuned to hear it ever since listening to this story.

 

[dread9]

lol for the quick draw it seems like so much preparation for a hot second shootout

 

[~Kinggi~]

In single player there is no loading right?

 

[Bliany]

Gotta love the animals running around in the middle of a deathmatch

 

[Net_Wrecker]

In single player there is no loading right?

Just for the beginning of the mission cutscenes, and those aren't that long. Really, loading isn't a problem, and looks much improved over GTAIV.

On top of that, you can choose multiplayer from the front end menu now instead having to load singleplayer, then load MP, then load the map.

 

[Rapping Granny]

Any word on custom soundtracks in the MP on PS3?

 

[Macattk15]

The auto-aim in the multiplayer looks disgusting.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Well, let us all hope all those Rockstar employees being worked like slaves get some mega bonus out of this. I suspect this will sell pretty damn well, and the hard work definitely shows with all the detail.

 

[Rapping Granny]

The auto-aim in the multiplayer looks disgusting.

Yes, I wish they would just copy Uncharted 2's combat and be done with it.
