it looks GOOD considering it's a huge open-ended game world. the lighting looks exellent.

I didn't expect much better considering the limitations of Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 (it takes ALOT of their GPU and memory resources just to get games running in HD resolution) and the fact that their GPUs are 2004-2005 technology.

It looks cool, though the lighting effects are driving me a little batty. It's got that weird Super Mario Galaxy sheen to it, and it just doesn't work for GTA.

Can't wait though.

thought the game looked pretty amazing, but the character models do seem to have a weirdness about them. Some kind of sheen over them. Hard to explain. I loved the way how the guys eyebals would move around independently, and how they blinked and stuff like that. It's the little details that Rockstar North always includes that I'm so impressed with.

That one scene where a guy is running from a helicopter and two police cars chasing him down a street in Manhattan at twilight was fricking spectacular.

Of course, we really didn't see anything other than cutscenes, and althought the cutscenes are using the in game engine, it's kinda like watching video's of Madden replays. The actual gameplay viewpoint is much less impressive. Still, I can easily tell that I'm going to have an absolute blast with this game.

Looks like another GTA to me and the graphics look bad compared to games like Gears, But then again it is a sandbox game. I wonder what sweet mods will end up in the PC version and what crazy rumors will end up in this one? Leatherface hunting, Anyone?

Looks REALLY good for a sandbox game, but the FPS drops quite a lot in the new trailer. I hope they lock the full game to at least 30 by release.

Character's have blinked in games since the NES. Why is it impressive all the sudden? Because it's in HD?

I don't really care about the game - I don't have a next-gen system.

However, the bits of story that showed up DID get me interested, so at the least, I'll give it a playthrough once I get a 360.

Although I may lose interest halfway through and give it up, I'm sure I'll get some enjoyment out of the new graphics and gameplay. This is the first trailer I've watched for the game and it looks good to me. Looking forward to picking up a copy on release day. I may check to see if the LE's are still available for reserve.

Damn that was impressive.

Graphics were kinda sub par for a next gen system. I mean the lips don't even move well to the voices. Other than that, I think the graphics look better than the previous games. The cars looked better. Then again, I never played GTA for graphics, it was always about gameplay. I'll have to wait and see how that is, granted I don't see rockstar messing with it too much.

True, but GTA games have always had pretty ugly graphics.

Take 1: Looks good, however the animation on the characters is weak at best.
Take 2: If you just hit enter instead of chosing your birthday will play the video... talk about lip service to protecting the youth...

If the characters have individual digits on each hand, I'll be happy. The GTA "mitten hands" need to stay in the last generation.
