I just lashed on GTA3 and San Andreas to compare them to the new one. Oh how quickly we forget. I first put on GTA3 which looked as expected and then thought i'd lash on San Andreas which i thought would be much better looking than GTA3. Turns out it doesn't look much better than GTA3, i didnt think the leap in graphics for the new one was half as big as it actually is
I think 3 looked better, much better in all honesty but i reckon it's coz sa was just massive. As expected 4 isn't like uncharted in terms of graphical prowess but that's because, like sa they've obviously just packed it with so much stuff.
Non main characters in cut scenes have low quality faces but i can dig it, the view scale is unbelievable and it still looks boss
