I agree, it looks average, the graphics are worst than most games around, but the gameplay which you can't see until you experience it, will be second to none.

Well the graphics look good to me! GTA has always had a cartoonish element to it. But its been taken to another level of visuals. Also gameplay wise its set to exceed all hype according to some testers

Excuse me? The graphics match the highest end games out for consoles
- the lighting
- the detail
- the effects
  - explosions
  - gunfire
  - fires
- cars - well rendered, reflect and look solid
- humans - clothing details, etc

The only thing that may be a bit lower on graphics is facial details, but Rockstar always create such unique faces that you don't care how they look, you enjoy them as real human beings because they are so full of life.

Worse than most games? With the exception of Assasins Creed and MAYBE COD4, I doubt there are many other games that have pulled off something like GTAIV.

You can't compare the graphics of other games to GTA 4 because the environment is BIGGER and there is a WHOLE LOT MORE going on too! Something's gotta give when you take into account the size and complexity of the game and I guess it's the graphics, but only by a little bit!

PS: Oh, and don't forget that it is the 1st GTA game on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and they're still getting used to the hard/software that they've to produce the game with. Remember GTA 3, the first GTA on the PS2? Compare that to San Andreas several years later and you'll realise how far they've come since they got to grips with wot they had to work with. It will be the same with the PS3. This is only the beginning of better things to come.

GTA IV release date is 25-04-2008 in Poland
20
Yesterday we have informed you about the possibility of buying GTA IV in Britain's Tesco earlier by 4 days. Now we've got something from Poland and it's quite official. Grand Theft Auto IV will be released in Poland on 25th of April, exactly four days before official international release date set by Rockstar, by internet shop - Wirtus.pl.

"We try to deliver pre-orders in express time so there are some possibilities of getting games earlier than the official release date. Our customers are often shops, that's why realization of the orders must be very quick" - said the PR Manager of Wirtus.

Um.... If you really take notice of GTA3 compared to Vice and San Andreas.... there is little to differ about their graphical abilities....
All 3 are actually nearly the same - I have all 3 and I have to say, when I opened San Andreas, I was seriously pissed at the pathetic graphics of it.

Your theory is wrong. They are not using a new engine which has 10x more graphical abilities than the old Rockstar engine.
They never got to grips with graphics on the PS2 because they were using a poor engine, now they are capable of anything.

After this long in development, I can guarantee you that they have got to grips with the software used for rendering.

I don't know about you... but I noticed small differences between the 3 GTAs on the PS2.... not major ones.

SA was quite alot different to the other ones, well mainly the characters and the cars. VC actually seemed like a downgrade to GTA3 for me, except for the water...

I still think the AK47 in GTA3 has one of the best sounds of an AK47 ever, don't know how realistic it is, but it sounded good.

As for GTA4, the graphics are fucking amazing considering what it is. It's not just about the graphics, I think someone has already posted the little info about the sound but:

http://www.gamesradar.com/f/grand-theft … 2838249060

Think Battlefield Bad Company. That's how awesome the sound will be.

Rain sounds alone take up around a third of the entire audio budget for San Andreas!

San Andreas does not look like that on the PS2. It looks crap. I actually thought it looked worse than GTA 3 did when I first started it up.

As for GTA 4 though, I think it looks great graphically.

Yeah, it seems the scenery and things like that in San Andreas look better than the other GTAs, but for GTA 3 I think is where the geometry looked its best, look at the cars and people, they look way better in that game than they did in San Andreas in my opinion.  It looks like they used more Polygons in GTA 3 than they did in either of the two that followed.

San Andreas never looked like that in real. Ever.

Ok, there is one MAJOR change.... blurryness. That's all.
All the rest are small things - like a bit square here and there etc.

I can tell the difference automatically, but the improvement was not that big. Not for a game what was in dev. for so long. GTAIV takes everything to the next level; it's detail is incredible.

Uhm...you've taken wot I've said in the last paragraph out of context. I wos talking about the game in general, that they'll squeeze more into the next GTA, not just in terms of graphics.

A long development time does not necessarily mean that there's going to be a major improvement in the graphics. I don't think you're familiar with this concept but there's this thing that's called "content"

PS: Stating that GTA 4 is going to take things to the next level is a bit obvious, don't you think? I think we all realised that fact a long, long time ago
