Finally.. an in-game screen. Looks different to say the least!

Looks like there's more of a preview than a review.. unless there's more to that article. Seems to be only the first page.

Oh.. and because they're held in public storage space and with a lot of demand, they may not be up there long so have them backed them up to my webspace:

The green and blue around the radar are the health and armour bars if anyone is wondering.

GrumPy · 14-04-2008 12:49PM

Graphics in both videos, and in game screenshots are horrendous. But rockstar have always had crappy graphics tbh.

Thought the in-game screen looks fuzzy alright.. but wouldn't say it was horrendous graphics.

Standard enough really but the gameplay will hopefully make up for a graphical shortcoming.

Cheers Basquille, the original links were blocked by websense

Keep in mind that these are pretty poor quality scans from a print mag, look at the dots and stuff on the review page.

you need to zoom in, they're hi-res

Basq · 14-04-2008 01:08PM

Yeah. but they're still scans from a magazine. They'll always be fuzzy due to the print quality!

So it's confirmed, GTA IV will definitly live up to the hype, not that we needed confirmation.

torture

The Freeman · 14-04-2008 02:00PM

is that just the first page to a review thats coming out in the upcoming offical xbox magazine is it?
(work proxy)

was there a score given yet?
and also when is the review out?

and with regards to the grahics being below par, the developers already confirmed that 70% of the previous trailer footage was in-game with the hud turned off, so i wouldn't bother taking low-res screenshots taken from a seemingly average camera off a print in a magazine to heart(think of it as the differance from a cam movie compared to high def;))

estebancambias · 14-04-2008 02:09PM

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Please please please somehow let time speed up.

If you can open the original link, just change the number at the end of the url from 1 to 2 for the second page of the review, then to 3 and so on. Think there's 9 pages altogether. You have to go back to the original link to change the url though, doing this while looking at one of the scans just brings up the same scan again.

Actually it's probably just easier to go back a folder and then all the scans are right there in front of you.

They gave it 10/10 surprisingly enough, no idea when the mag is out.

Here's some links to each page of the review

Basq · 14-04-2008 03:48PM

I'll put them up on my webspace in a moment for you Stephen.

EDIT: No-one else getting the 1st page for each of the links above? I've opened them all and it's the same page for them all.

Yes all I'm getting is the first page as well.

ShaneU · 14-04-2008 06:15PM

here's all the pages, there's a few more in-game shots in there too

Thanks!!!!!

A-Trak · 14-04-2008 06:37PM

Thanks Shane.

Kept getting page 1 on the other links and feared the interweb had made a mug of me again. (It's happened before.)

Not really looking forward to the lies I'll have to concoct to the Mrs for the time spent playing this game.
Ho hum, it'll be tough.

Stephen · 14-04-2008 07:06PM

Home now and went through the first links posted, which fortunately still work. This game is going to be ****ing epic.

New review out in the UK OPM with more details (and another 10/10 for those who care about such things), hi-res scans about half way down the page.

Royale with Cheese · 16-04-2008 02:48PM

Can somebody link directly to the scans? gtagaming is blocked here in work.

Ok no need anymore, got them in the end.

Whoa, the graphics look savage IMO.So lookin forward to this.Better live up to the hype.....

Guys this is the "official" Xbox 360 magazine.
Ignore the score, Microsoft bankroll the magazine, and this really is make or break thing for the 360. They have 50 million invested in the downloadable content alone.

Do they bankroll the Playstation magazine as well??
