I find it quite strange that the 360 version had anti aliasing but the PC version does not.

renegade5755d ago (Edited 5755d ago )

GTA4 AA is awful anyway...

champ215754d ago (Edited 5754d ago )

the 360 version was barely 720p. running on low res textures.

the game doesnt have AA on any of the platforms.

AA wasnt implemented because its a console game and consoles are limited in what they can do. Had it originally been a PC game AA would have surely been there(though only for the pc version.. consoles cant handle AA well).

free2game3655754d ago

API limitations. GTA4 uses deferred shading so it can't use AA in DX9 (the 360 uses a custom version of DX9 that allows for AA), and the developers never implemented DX10 into the game.

Charmers5754d ago

No that isn't true the Dx9 that the Xbox uses is practically the same as the PC version. The only difference is the Xbox version has been tweaked to make use of the unified memory architecture.

The Xbox does have dedicated hardware to do 2 x AA but it CANNOT be used with games that use deferred rendering. You can only do AA with deferred rendering with the Full Dx10 and Dx10 hardware. The 360 has neither so it is totally impossible for the xbox to have had 2xAA with GTA 4.

This myth about the 360 having AA in GTA 4 is just that a myth people assume that since it has hardware to do 2xAA then it must have 2xAA that is not the case.

I tried this and it only makes the game look worse on my rig. My gaming rig is no slouch.

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken427d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing69427d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker427d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo427d ago (Edited 427d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing69427d ago (Edited 427d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos427d ago (Edited 427d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt427d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken427d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

isarai786d ago

Was about to say the same, but they do say first "in the franchise" so 🤷

cammers1995786d ago
