I don't know what you two are talking about?

I love it the way it is. It looks really grainy and has a nice effect.

Try playing it on the console and then compare the shadows etc.

I love this game

:/

The shadows look like someone whipped out the spray can in Paint.

I think its the style they went for...

I dont think they were going for a super soft shadow realistic approach... more of a gritty look.

It's not the style they went for, the shadows look poor and to say they wanted that style is absurd.

Shadows do not have to look soft, other games have fine shadows that look sharp, GTA IV has shadows that look like the Paint spray can tool was used.

Take off the crap blurring effect, go and look at some shadows. Everytime my car headlights are on the shadows look disgusting.

Only a minor issue in my opinion, if you had proper soft shadows, the game would grind to a halt.

I doubt it, the game is more CPU limited than anything else I get practically the same performance with everything maxed as I do on low.

1280x1024 was technically more than 'HD' you know

I kinda wish you could play GTA IV windowed then reduce the window size, it would mask the terrible aliasing and horrible shadows somewhat.

Why does your Crysis look so bad compared to everyone else? :/

And they say Crysis is the pinnacle of PC graphics.

That looks real.

Crysis is the pinnacle of PC graphics, that's why it is said.

Mirror's Edge style is like marmite, it certainly doesn't rival Crysis. :|

Thats probably because your either blind or a fan boy.

Either way, Mirrors Edge looks loads better then Crysis.

Not really I didn't even like Crysis that much.

But hey, I'll let you bum your downscaled screenshots, Mirror's Edge doesn't look better than Crysis, it isn't up the technical level.

No wiggle room here, you are wrong, that is all.

You need to put edge AA on.

Ouch. Need to wait another couple of years before thats even remotely possible at playable framerates.

Nope, it's a console command it will make trees/foliage a lot smoother.

r_UseEdgeAA=3 or something

lol the ground graphics in the second screen look like something you'd find on the PS1.

Margaret · 8 Apr 2009 at 17:19

Looks really bad there :/

No.

Wow, you just pretty much confirmed how bad they look as the PS1 screens aren't even that far behind. LOL

GTA IV is such a blurry mess

Margaret · 9 Aug 2009 at 23:34

Halo 2 had far better multiplayer than the first and Halo 3.

Margaret · 16 Aug 2009 at 17:46

Shame about the graphics though. :/

Them screenshots are also downscaled so will look a lot better than their full resolution counterparts. GTA IV is a splotchy looking game by default.
