Now this is nonsense. Every game you mentioned as a "one trick pony" has sequels. Just go away, junior.

LOL. one trick pony does not mean sequel.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Looks great. Does this release near the holiday season?

 

[diamount]

A troll to him is someone who's not busy fellating GTA 4.

To be fair though you did say there's nothing to do in 5. Even I can't look that far into the future.

Okay, my comment was purely made out of frustration. Even if it's get more things to do than GTA IV then it's a step in the right direction, although that's not hard to do in the slightest. I will never under the fascination people had with IV though.

 

[Razek]

Don't quote me on that. I just know that I see this often on my 360. I only have Heavy Rain on my PS3 for comparison

It makes sense. I think you're right. I think it's fair we can call these 360 screens.

Beats rolling around in every thread shitting on it like it raped your sister and going LOLOLSLEEPINGDOGS SAN ANDREAS PURPLE DIDLOS.

 

[Hindle]

I want another big mountain in the game like the one in San Andreas, riding off that in a motorbike was great.

 

[Marleyman]

LOL. one trick pony does not mean sequel.

Please explain what you mean.

 

[mrklaw]

Aha!

This is big! So now we know that the screenshots are in fact Xbox 360 screenshots.

Maybe update the thread title?

My keen eye for graphics delivers the goods!

I just came over from the dark souls thread, so I assumed those were high-end PC screens

 

[Dennis]

Dogs is not even selling enough to get another made.

I've seen this with so many other challengers - mafia, just cause, saints row, etc. one trick ponies which just whimper and die eventually.

Citation for Sleeping Dogs not getting a sequel, please

Mafia is on the second game, Saints Row on the third game and Just Cause is getting a third game for sure.

Opinions are fine but please back up something like these claims.

You're the one who keeps bringing up purple dildos in these threads, not me. Sounds like you've got an interesting story to share with us.

no date yet best case scenario holiday worst case early 2013

Lol.

Now I'm excited to see what the PC version of this can do. Unfortunately, if they are showing us 360 screens, doesn't that implicate that the PC version isn't as far along?

We all knows its one of the primary reasons why you dislike GTA IV so much, you never found that dildo.

 

[deejay8595]

The amount of jaggies on consoles will be crazy

low frame rate, massive pop ins, jaggies, low resolution, crap textures, jaggy low res shadows are some of the tech features of the console version.

Graphics are everything..OMG!!!!

 

[Neuromancer]

Dogs is not even selling enough to get another made. So, its more like impressing a tiny insignificant set of enthusiasts. The best they can do is a PSN/XBLA sequel next.

I've seen this with so many other challengers - mafia, just cause, saints row, etc. one trick ponies which just whimper and die eventually.

Worst post in the thread, congrats.

Nothing is big. R* always uses X360 screenshots.

 

[base shagohod]

Man, GTA threads always get shitty fast.

Also to those hoping this will come out in November, I'm very sorry you're so optimistic haha.

 

[keltickennedy]

Oh come on now, they really couldn't find a better lod texture. I don't want to see all the stuff from far distance like that. Seriously I hope they don't leave something like that on final stage.
Even IV or any other GTA doesn't look like that to far objects.

Don't blame R* blame this...

I am super excited for this. Many hours will be sunk into this game. All I need is a release day so I can plan the days off from work.

Also the shot of that one guy parachuting can only mean 3 things:

There will be multiple protagonists

It was simply a shot from multiplayer.

NPCs perform activities in the game.

 

[Fratkabula]

Please explain what you mean.

No one else has shown that they have the variety to keep the open world fresh over so many games.

 

[Sethos]

He's got you there Sethos.

Yup, definitely got my number.

 

[ekim]

Nothing is big. R* always uses X360 screenshots.

And I want to add that this could also be a bunch of trees which are in the transitions area between being drawn and being culled.

 

[Bluforce]

Good.
Pretty good.

 

[Marleyman]

Just Cause 2 was a big jump over the first one; they improved everything, for example.

Don't you guys just love it when the latest installment in a wildly popular series is about to release? The discussions truly do cover the spectrum, lol. Can't wait for how colorful the OT will be.

 

[Dilly]

Mafia barely classifies as an open world game.

 

[Nibel]

What a Meh post

I might quit the internet by then and just enjoy the game in peace. lol.

The sequels sucked. They did not move an inch away from the originals.

GTA has been a whole different story.

What is that weird, dotted, artifacting?

That's dithering sir, must be the 360 version.

Agreed. But oh so barely. Nowhere close to the jumps GTA did with SA.

 

[Neuromancer]

Saints Row 2 didn't improve on Saints Row 1?

Just Cause 2 didn't improve on Just Cause 2?

What the fuck?

 

[captainnapalm]

I will never under the fascination people had with IV though.

Most realistic, liveable, breathable world in the history of gaming. Liberty City was a massive technical achievement and I still pop in now and again just to experience it and see something I hadn't seen before. No other open world game has yet surpassed it. I reckon we'll have to wait for GTA V to do that.

Saints Row 3 for example does a lot of things pretty well, but its city isn't even a patch on Liberty City, a game that was released 3-4 years earlier.

 

[KingKong]

what I loved about GTA4 was the driving, euphoria and the RAGE engine.

playing a post-euphoria Rockstar game like GTA4, Red Dead, Max Payne, and then playing any other third person action game is like night and day in physics and movement and mechanics

 

[Flachmatuch]

That doesn't look like what the current consoles are capable of at all. It looks more like PS2/GCN-era level graphics. Those trees look absolutely hideous. I thought the trees in SS looked bad...

This is just plain idiocy. Incredible. Seriously. Play a PS2 GTA ffs.

 

[Fratkabula]

Just Cause 2 was a big jump over the first one; they improved everything, for example.

Agreed.

I still think the series is whimpering.

 

[ekim]

Nah. Maybe from the number of activities. But if we're talking about design and immersion, Mafia 2 wins the cup. Walking around in empire bay @ wintertime wasn't beaten to date... and I've played all open-world games this gen.

immersion and atmosphere goes to RDR, not even a contest.

Sucked was the wrong word. Sorry.

They are all improvements, thats all.

Maybe I should've stated that I'm talking about cities.

The common theme of all those games is they had nothing to do on the side, so I think these games should be moving away from trying to attain immersion and atmosphere.

I agree that was graphically impressive, but there's more to it than just visuals.

 

[GQman2121]

Will anyone else be severely disappointed if there isn't wildlife in the wilderness? After Red Dead I don't think I can go back to baron countryside's. It's just too much fun hunting on horseback, that the idea of doing that on four wheelers or ATV's seems like something they can't possibly leave out. Hell, I'll take fishing too if they really want to go all out. Can you imagine leaders board for biggest catch?

No. I'll take atmosphere over your LOLJETPACK.

Of course... as I said, I'm just talking about having a walk... which I enjoyed most in Mafia II
