Nice. Gun looks a little weird to me though.


Comment by Dr. Drew posted on 15th Apr 2008:

me too just one thing though does the wanted level look small. I don't want to be riding around and get busted by a cop because I couldn't notice that I had one star.

lol, only our "new world" government wants to kill terrorists... me, an american, thinks killing terrorists is pointless because you can't kill em all, you just breed new ones happy4.gif...

i noticed that the HUD is sorta bright... am i safe to assume that perhaps it's flashing since there's 4 stars? R* took a screeny while it was flashing? that's sorta cool if it does do that... it's a good reminder to GTFOutta there!!


Comment by Buffalo Bob posted on 15th Apr 2008:

Hmm, so the money doesn't always stay in the top right?

That gun icon is very ugly.

I agree, not very attractive in my eyes.

Perhaps this is the ZONE of his criminal net.
It's already been mentioned a few times, and quite obviously,
in this shot he is far from exiting that police net.
It seems to be light blue, rather than flashing.
The in-game map probably reveals a huge radius in light blue.

I actually like the gun icons.....

GTAGaming removed the shot in the above link, for some reason.....


Comment by Psy posted on 15th Apr 2008:

GTAGaming have probably stopped other sites linking directly to their image, so I've removed the link to their site altogether... Ah well.


Comment by Buffalo Bob posted on 15th Apr 2008:

That gun icon has to be a joke. The more I look at it, the more I think "This is fugly as shit".


Comment by D-O posted on 16th Apr 2008:

since when has the gun icon looked like their real life counterpart. dont forget in all other gta games the icons looked funky. i liked it and still do. furthermore, its a gun icon...who gives a fuck


Comment by The_Technician posted on 16th Apr 2008:

wow...everyine should fuck off about the gun logo

it's nice, and you don't need a full image of it in the top, you can see its beauty in Niko's hands

but whats with the map all being white on the bottom half?


EDIT: WOAH! on the 'gtaplace' pic, the shotgun is going through his arm MAJORLY

EDIT2: that said, the other pics are awesome...the guy getting shot in the SUV and the chopper over the street are mint!

The map is semi-transparent. If you look at the street you can see how the dark/blue and light/white match up.

So the brightness of the street makes the whole bottom of the map look white while the top is still blue because the street is darker.


Comment by Asthenia posted on 16th Apr 2008:

I'm quite liking them icons actually... They're growing on me. Give it 20 minutes of play and you'll feel the same, haters.


Comment by The_Technician posted on 16th Apr 2008:

^ True that


Comment by Rayniac posted on 16th Apr 2008:

hehe, I love 'em all! The gun icon looks great to me... doesn't need to be photorealistic, it's grey, which is more contemporary and it doesn't take the focus from the screen away.

Also, I can't recall from past games, but I guess now the wanted stars start from right to left. (will pop in SA to see if this was the case here too)

Also, in the screen from gtaItaly, looks he's just committing the crime. (well, blowing shit up will get you there...) You can nicely see the search radius growing and sweeping across the map. Wanted star is a bit more black but not lit yet... very nice!


Comment by REIDYTHEKING posted on 16th Apr 2008:

its better than the graphics for guns on past gta games when the gun looks like its been mad of cardboard


Comment by bOnEs posted on 16th Apr 2008:

i'm gonna sorta miss the box around the weapons sad4.gif... it was a staple of the franchise...

ahh, who the hell am i kidding... out with the old, and in with the new!!

@ Rayniac - it does appear that the stars will be backwards in this edition... that's different happy4.gif...
