Waiting for the final trailer which will be available later today, here are three new images of Grand Theft Auto IV, the same that were published on Evil Avatar and MTV. The explosion effects are really surprising and being able to ride on a bike in the metro is full of win!

I love how gamers complain about the graphics before the game is released, and then complain about that developers focus too much on graphics.

I really dont understand why people compare this title to the likes of COD4 etc. etc.
Its a completely different game, the focus is NOT graphics.... its content. I just cant wait for the release of this bad boy... should be great!!

Gotta say, that new trailer looks hot! No actual gameplay footage though unfortunately (yes I know, Rockstar never releases gameplay footage bla bla).

So basically you mean that an RTS game like C&C3 should have the same resolution textures on its tanks as COD4 or Frontlines?
I'm sorry m8, you are just wrong. Genres matter.
You want self-shadowing on the dots in Guitar Hero too?
And GTA4 vs. MGS4 is a pretty fair comparison, despite the fact the GTA is an open city. They are both TPS' and the textures are meant to be seen from a certain distance. The texture work in MGS4 is FAR better than GTA4's, in terms of characters and environments. And given the fact that GTA4 would need to load a full city of textures it doesn't necessarily NEED to be on par with MGS4, but those textures are shamelessly bad.

Ok people, lets have a little lesson in realtime rendering.
The bigger the environment that is being rendered in realtime, the more power it takes. Gears of War has great visuals because of fairly small levels and even smaller amount you could see. In GTA, your in a big City, with no loading screens. Its pretty much all there, there are loading of higher res textures as things get closer and stuff, but its a pretty big environment that is being rendered with decent amount of action.
New Rule:
Don't bash graphics in a video game unless you have at least some understanding of the way they look.

And for those bemoaning the textures and all that bollocks - give it a rest. It's boring. This game will look great.

"Ohh textures too low, framerate too low, screw this game!"
First of all, step away from the graphics perspective for a minute, and take in the context of the screenshot. You have the main character (which you control) on a motorbike speeding in front of a subway car. Name another game that lets you do that. PLEASE. I'M DYING TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM THIS GAME!
I can't believe how many people are still obsessed with graphics these days. Have you people forgotten what makes a video game so much fun? You're PLAYING it. So it must be the GAMEPLAY, no? Oh wait, I think you'd rather buy a game to hang on your wall, and stare at it like it's a piece of artwork. You play video games! YOU PLAY THEM! I just can't begin to imagine when the general public will stop being obsessed with graphics and come back to caring about what makes a video game so entertaining in the first place.

for all the bitching that goes on about how the effects look in the game it seems we are all forgetting how big the world is and the art direction this game takes. frankly i dont give a crap about how gta4 but im gonna get it anyway, much later after its release though.

If you think the framerate is too low, rent Saints Row... Trust me you'll laugh your head off. And then you will screw your head back on when you realize what a damn fun game it is, due to its GAMEPLAY, EVEN TOUGH THE FRAMERATE SUX and it has pop-ins and dissapearing traffic etc..
