As a ton of previews are hitting the web, we don't forget you and bring nine new screenshots of Grand Theft Auto IV on the table. We can't wait for some gameplay videos now !
only the ps3 has a 256 mb limit on textures, the 360's ram is unified so if they wanted to use 400mb on textures they could. I doubt they would but..they could.
It's not that big of a deal when you realize these things : PS3 has 256 graphics memory and 256 main, I believe they can cross access, but it's pretty slow.
The bigger thing is nowhere near the 512 unified is available just for textures on the 360. You have to have space for everything from audio (which is huge) to gameplay features, to 3d models, the OS (I believe that is 24MB I forget) and so on. In fact, I believe there are a fair number of 360 games that use more than 256 for non-texture elements. It's a better way of doing things, but it's not a make or break thing.
Here are some quotes from people who actually have seen some gameplay, i think these convey really nicely how the game looks in motion. Remember folks there are more to graphics than just the resolution of textures and the amount of polygons...
" Car physics are just as impressive as the first time we saw GTA IV running; axels bounce and react with bumps in the road and vehicles genuinely look like they're made of different components, rather than being a box on wheels."
" now night time and the skyline is alive winking skyscrapers and wide-eyed streetlights. Come to think of it, it's probably even more impressive than the daytime scenes (except those sunsets). The headlights on Niko's motor stretch across the road, casting real time shadows on any object in his path."
" we can see every skyscraper reflecting on the water and creating a glorious display for screenshot fans everywhere. It makes us wonder why Rockstar didn't just go with New York in the first place, because they've done a bloody good job creating a copy cat. "
For a GTA it looks brilliant. I'm so f... waiting for this one. The problem is, at the beginning they just showed super duper photoshop pics. Now many people are disapointed... Well, however, these look good, and in motion it's far better! So, let it come, I'm all prepared to kick some ass ^^
Hmm, I think they use some filter when making the screenshots, because long ago it didn't looks as blurry as this. I'm pretty much sure the game won't look this bad.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
