I knew someone would bring this up, firstly only an idiot would compare it to Crysis etc... I compared it to Burnout Paradise; a game that has a massive enviroment like GTA. And looks imo 10x better

That includes hundreds of cars, people and explosions?

[TheStig1]

Is there any way to save other than doing missions or returning to the apartment?

They're marked by an @ symbol on your map.

Good point

There's just so much going on in the GTA world i suppose they had to cut back on some intense graphics.

Noticed a laundrette as I was driving around, aptly named "Come clean". *titters*

No, you need a bed to save manually.

was anybody else not able to connect to multiplayer on ps3 last night?

i got the error message on the in game phone saying 'could not connect to server'

i want worried too much as i got on single player but i would like to play multi at some point...

I just want the game to be sharper than it is... I'm starting to think that this issue might actually be worse on the PS3.

No doubt in my mind that the Xbox360 looks much sharper and textures look cleaner.

Bummer.. I hate games that make you do something or wait until you can save.. if I want to quit, I want to quit.

Going to give it another couple of hours today, if i'm still not clicking with it then it's MM for my copy.

I agree. Very dissapointed with the graphics to be honest. Muddy and washed out springs to mind (PS3 version)

 

[thecremeegg]

The graphics are stunning given how much it has to draw.burnout has a large map but nothin going on in it

 

[ic1male]

The graphics only look a bit muddy at night but in daylight they are great. And as for blur, I'd rather have blurred buildings/trees/cars that are there rather than none at all. I've never felt a game was so alive before. More cars and people than I expected, police sirens going off in the background, NPCs chatting on their phones. Marvellous!
