And although its graphics were quite average at its release, the modding community has managed to literally transform Rockstar’s baby; or to be more precise, Vorontsov Boris ENBseries mod is the one and only mod you’ll ever want to install. Boris did an amazing job and what is even better, is that you can modify ENBseries parameters to your liking."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Former Rockstar Games Technical Director Obbe Vermeij has finally revealed why some planes would randomly crash in GTA: San Andreas.
This fly by feature was on the cutting room floor due to the random plane crashes and it's one of those things I'm so thankful made it into the final version as these random fly by and crashes make the world seem more alive on the extremely limited PS2 hardware you needed everything you could possibly get in a open world to convey that feeling.
And accross hundreds of hours of gameplay I probably died around 3 times as a result of these fly by failures but I loved every time it happened
It made the world feel more human, and honestly kinda insane that even today with all these open world games, almost no one can capture that like R* even when compared to their ps2 games
Lol, I remember those. I vaguely remember dying from one crashing into my car once too.

Theres this false perception that GTA 4 had bad graphics. As far as consoles, it was one of the best this gen. People dont understand the scale of Liberty City.
lets hope that the next generation of home consoles will be able to deliver such graphics!
I couldn't even make it through the article preview. I thought GTA4 on the consoles had awesome graphics at the time. Liberty City is huge. Open Gl said it best.
Looks good, but the visuals are a bit unevenly spread. Some things (such as cars) are much more detailed than the environment.
Kinda looses its cohesive appearance.
GTA4 on the consoles was never a port. The PC version was a port job and had lots of problems when it first came out. There was more they could do with the engine and that shows with the mods on the PC. RDR uses the same engine and it looks even better.
