Saints Row 2

I don't know what people are on about with the graphics in GTA4 - they look decidedly... average to me. Have the character models even been improved since GTA:SA? No. The cars look nice and so does the scenery, sure, but not that much. I'm really not impressed with what I have seen of GTA4 so far.

It looks really good, watch the recent trailer. If you think the character models look the same as SA go play SA and tell me that again. It's an open world game so of course it isn't going to blow you away like Bioshock or Uncharted, but it looks really good.

I have watched the recent trailer (in fact I've watched all the trailers) and they just aren't convincing. The character models just aren't impressive. Perhaps they are better than SA models, but they certainly aren't any better than Saints Row character models.

I never said I expected Bioshock etc level graphics, but having said that, when GTA3 was first released, that was open world and it wasn't that short of the graphics of any of its much more restricted contemporaries. So perhaps for a game that was promised to be such a leap you could be forgiven for expecting something a bit special. I stand by my opinion (and I am not the only one) that GTA4 does not look that graphically impressive. As always I look forward to being proven wrong, and I have faith the game will be good regardless. I do think SR2 will give it a damn good run for its money though.
