"Rockstar just uploaded its new GTA 4 trailer showing new gameplay possibilities (well, we hope so), and most importantly an excellent background and art directing. We can't wait to see more..."
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not sure tbh.. I'd say 3 was the most overrated. It's pretty rough to go back to, it was quite rough even trying it just after Vice City. Lack of humour and vehicles that had the weight of polystyrene with top speeds to match.
VC & the stories games (even LCS) were all fun. I remember there being a lot of praise for GTA 3 on TV and in game mags, saying it was a Dreamcast killer of a game or words to that effect, and honestly after playing it on PC I didn't think it was that special and kind of dull, had the odd moment of fun but hardly anything. I heard they cut online multiplayer at the last moment for PC, shame because it could've made all the difference.
Would've loved to have seen what kind of cartoony GTA style game they could've done on Dreamcast as a competitor, I bet something along the lines of Simpsons Hit & Run would've worked well.
@numberz How can the game that defined a generation and was copied by everyone be overrated? Was a asinine comment
There's plenty of cutscene footage (the entire clip) and since we know they use game engine for cutscenes, we can gather that this is an accurate representation of what the final game will look like.
Don't hate me for saying this, but it doesn't impress me graphically.
The character models are bland. No detail to hair, no cloth physics on clothing. The entire thing seems like a hi-res last gen game graphically.
Sure, there's some glare, and glossy effects on a few surfaces, but the textures are generally flat, and as one example, look at the scene with the blonde woman yelling... She looks embarrassingly bad.
I'll buy the game because I know it will be a blast to play, but I really expected much more graphically. This isn't even close to being in the same league as games like Gears of War, Resistance: FOM, GRAW2, DIRT, or plenty of other AAA next gen titles.
So yes, it looks like a great story is being told, and it will surely be innovative in certain areas, but I feel let down by the visuals.
The guys who have actually seen the game in action say the game looks much better than the first trailer, and rockstar says they have 3 trailers in total i believe, and I think that all 3 are using the old build, but who knows. Maybe we might see something different at E3 maybe not.
HD version was available on Rockstar's site at launch.

The new GTA on Xbox live looks like rubbish to me. Even Crackdown looks better than that.
GTA series has never been known for it's graphics, but for it's gameplay.
