Post by: Phobos on June 04, 2001, 10:28:20 AM
I downloaded the movie from ign and although the characters move like phuckin Thunderbirds i still want this game like i want Britney spears. :)

The recent pics had no other traffic or pedestrians in them though. :confused:

Oh well, hopefully we\'ll see it in action soon!

Ha! Anyone who thought those originally released screens is now come to the realization that those pics were mega-fake. The game looks alot worse, just like all us naysayers said. This isn\'t to say that the game doesn\'t look great, because it does, but it will never look like originally said to be.

Ha right back . The game looks fantastic, and only looks a hair "worse" as you so elegantly put it, then the original concepts.

In fact I\'m still extremly impressed by the graphics, but to say the game looks alot worse is just rediculous. Its actually very close.  Lighting seems to be one noticeable difference between the 2

I agree with ddaryl, the actual recent shots look very good and we all kinda knew in the back of our heads that those first shots had to be concepts. If the gameplay is there in this one though we will all be talking about it for monthes after its release ! I just hope its around the length of red faction. I felt very satisfied after beating it and won\'t have any quams about playing through it again.

I don\'t get it. Maybe I am the only who sees this.
Was I suppossed to think they looked a hair away from eachother? :D

original concepts were near perfect looking, the building textures looked 3D and there was 3D stuff coming out of the buildings. Also, the textures were of extreme quality.

Now, building textures look like MSR, flat, and muckier. The fronts of the cars in OC looked like individual polied. Now they look like one big texture. Plus, there isn\'t gratuitous amounts of motion blur on the cars.

It is fun to laugh along with people, isn\'t it?

I didn\'t say it didn\'t looked impressive.

to quote me from an earlier post -

"This isn\'t to say that the game doesn\'t look great, because it does, but it will never look like originally said to be."

But I am POSITIVE that it will never look as good as originally concepted, and YES, it looks considerably worse now, especially because there are hardly any people running around and only one car on the screen. Dreamcast could do this, in fact they did, it was called MSR.

Nice eye-candy but that doesn\'t mean sh*t if the gameplay sucks, it all waits to be seen.

Yes, the graphics of GTA suck but the gameplay is brilliant. I think a game with great gameplay and bad graphics can make fun, but a game with great graphics and bad gameplay not.

ive looked at some of the newer screens and yes, they have amazed me. but i couldnt find the one where the car was jumping right infront of a train! that was the best one.
the graphics are nice and will just be improved. in some of the newer screens there are jaggies, but they will most likely get those gone by the release.

but where are the sunny skies? this game would look better with sunny skies!

I Share your pain, i downloaded that trialer only to have a very small poor replay quality of an into part with the two gangsters talking.
it was like watching a video of a LOCH NESS MONSTER sighting.


NO GAME on it and NO Direct Feed.

Looks like IQN was slacking off that DAY :laughing:.

anyhoo we are all waiting for the Actual in game movies of this one

No it will never look as good as those concepts, but I still think its damn close and impressive enough not to have to listen to you gleefully announce how it won\'t


it does not look considerably worse and MSR doesn\'t look close to this.

Everyone is talking about how it will rock and everything maybe it will suck.  I am going to wait for Driver 3.  It\'s supposed to come out.  Release date ????????.

Well I really don\'t think it will suck, and SDriver 3 won\'t have a 1/3 of the budget the Getaway is getting, and the Getaway plays both as a racer/driving game and a 3rd person action game. It also allows you to play through the game twice from the viewpoints of 2 different characters.

and it plainly just looks awesome


So to say you\'ll wait for Driver 3 is kinda lame. The getaway defonetly has the potetial of being great and is more in depth then the driver series has been

time will tell though

Yeah, guess you\'re right.  From what I\'ve seen for the Getaway it looks pretty cool.

Along with Rockstars line up and Reflections games, this game looks great. This is a great time for criminal minded gamers... like me. :D
