GTAIV Will Disappoint More Than Innovate?

CinemaBlend.com has posted a rather interesting article about GTAIV. They tend to think that GTAIV will disappoint more people than we all think. Here is a few snippets from the article.

But reality has to hit at some point, and I’m betting on April 29th there are going to be a lot of people who stroll down the streets of Liberty City once again and think: “Hey, this seems familiar. Like I’ve done this in a lower resolution at some point.”

This may be the case, but why do people keep buying FPS games? Not because they are revolutionizing the industry but because it's fun! They go on to say...

Even graphically GTA IV is looking like a clone of III. This time around Rockstar is not using a middleware solution, but the graphical fidelity of GTA IV just doesn’t quite match the other AAA games out in today’s market. In the end this hardly matters, as was proven by the brilliance of III, but it’s another check on the long list of reminiscing.

A clone? Is this guy blind? In my opinion GTA has always stood on it's own pedestal, where other games have yet to match.

We’re now a little over two months away from release and what we’ve been shown has indicated a game nearly identical in feel and structure to Grand Theft Auto III. Hints that the shooting might be improved (it certainly can’t be worse) are nice, but ultimately mean little. That’s a refinement, not a revolution. And if you’re going to come out swinging the big stick as gaming’s prophet to the masses, then you better have something under your robe besides an old stone tablet with seven-year-old game design ideas.

it wouldnt matter if it did look exactly the same as III, san andres and III are similar looking and that didnt stop both games being massively popular, that guy is just a giant douche.

besides which they couldnt look any more different!!!

IV is in a league of its own, it may be easy to make a small game look all shiny and pretty, but a game on the sheer scale of GTA has to make small sacrifices somewhere!

Plus it is well known that the popularity of GTA isnt in its looks but the astounding gameplay!!

NUFF SAID!!!!!!
