2 Days 2 Vegas vs. GTA IV Visual Comparison

The Grand Theft Auto titles have been considered to be some of the best sandbox games yet. GTA3 on PlayStation 2 set the standard for free roaming in a large world, with guns, whores, fast cars, wild missions and a storyline.

Saint's Row put up a good fight when it was released on Xbox 360 last year, but other than that, very little has challenged Rockstar's throne.

Now GTA IV is on the horizon, and we have a new challenger. 2 Days 2 Vegas is due early 2008, and one of the developer's goals is to make it even more immersive than GTA.

Unfortunately, little is known about either title. But here is a screenshot comparison. As you'll see below, 2 Days 2 Vegas is a more than worthy competitor...

It seems as though I've seen these comparison screen shots a while back, if I remember correctly.

Anybody else remember these?

3 - No Contest

If we're just judging screenshots, the winner is clearly 2 days 2 Vegas.
The overall better game could still easily be GTA.
Traditionally, GTA has never had the cutting edge graphics. Games like God of War made GTA: San Andreas look like a beta version with its flat color pallette, and lack of detail and lighting effects.

3.1 - When they say more immersive than GTA they mean the past GTA series LOL!!!!

They have no idea how realistic GTA 4 is going to be. 2 days from New York to Vegas sounds linear don't you think? Read the psu.com link from NoUseMerc 7# and you will see what I am talking about when I say 2 days. GTA already prove itself from True Crimes, Saint Rows, Crackdown, and soon 2 days 2 Vegas. GTA is the King of Sandbox games!!!!

yeah i think your right with this point.
it doesn't matter at all how detailed the textures are - gta iv will live up to its hype (that isn't in full swing yet), just as every gta title lives up to its reputation.

yet another unworthy competitor.

GTA 4 is all in game and from what Ive seen from the trailer/tech demo is pretty dam impressive for a large sandbox game but for all i know the 2 day to vegas stuff could just be target renders like the killzone trailer until i see something like a tech demo or gameplay footage I'd wait until you start comparing them

8 - GTA 4 looks little better than 2 days to Vegas

If they want to make this game much better than GTA 4, then they first of all got to change the title, because it gives people the impression that the game is over in two game days through a linear path LOL!!! GTA series is one of the originators of sandbox titles, so GTA already prove that it is the most dominate sandbox game on the planet. True crimes, Crackdown, Saint Rows, and the rest of the sandbox titles can't beat GTA the originator.

I'm thinking the industry will try and market the PS3 like they did with Ps2 last generation showing off XBOX visuals with Sony's Name in big lettering on screen with Xbox in small print in the corner. Kind of like what people tried to pull off with Assasin's Creed, I'v been called the same in that scam aswell.

#11 those Red Laser DVD's you're talking about will start out with 18 gigs but they're releasing 40 & 50 gig verions later on. They will be able to display all HD rez's and they will work with any red laser reading divices currently out. Later on they will release Blue laser DVD as well, its a third format that will have a better chance than all the others trying to compete with BR and HD-DVD.

Please can you shut the hell up with the stupid DvD bit??? You know why Mass Effect can't be on the PS3? Because no one has a PS3 to sell to, its pretty much as legit an excuse as you people keep spewing out.

Or don't you know the new DvD's coming out this year can have up to 18 gigs of room of them, OH is that double the room!

18 gigs of room thats cool. Got any more info on this new format does that mean in theory that any ordinary dvd player will read them.
I always believed there was no need to get rid of dvd just improve the compression or improve the technology and baam you can hold more gigs. If this is true then Blueray and Hd-dvd are not necessary.

You mean to tell me that there is going to be a 4th SKU X360 in order to read those discs?

You guys are pathetic reaching for the stars but fall on the pavement face first!

@mp

P.S. - Both titles are multi-platform, but the devs for 2 Days...said that they like Blu-Ray because they can fit more stuff on the disc that they want in the game.

I think GTA has a different artistic direction (I hope that's not getting overly used) than 2 days to Vegas. The sky looks more yellow and the scenery (though detailed) appears like something that's not supposed to catch your attention while GTA seems like everything is part of the ambience.

Remember how Vice City sort of looked old and you felt like you were in the 80's. I don't know. It's been a long day. Maybe I'm seeing things. They both look and sound like good games so I'll be getting them both regardless of the graphics. Two different stories...

22 - 2 Days WINS hands down...

...such a level of photorealism is just uncanny in a sandbox game. Devs
strive to generate such quality of visuals. GTA has always been
restricted to generate a FPS or Adventure gamelike visuals because of
its being a streaming-sandbox title. No doubt GTA is one of the most
featuristic games out there, but the visual restriction is,
unfortunately, a reality. Watching 2 Days 2 Vegas in such quality is
a sight to behold...if that's ingame, then they've already reached
where even Rockstar haven't yet. 2 Days 2 Vegas also reaffirms that
GETAWAY for PS3 might just be a reality...approaching CG quality in a
sandbox title !!!

A problem with modern sandbox games is that they try too hard to be and surpass GTA. They should stop that and try to be creative while keeping their games quality close to GTA. Thats why a game like Assassins Creed is so promising. I hope 2 Days 2 Vegas developers are also trying something new.

I have no idea if this is in game shots so I wanted to pose the question? Is it using in game assets like the GTA screens or is it representative video of how the game "should" look? I just know a lot of games seem to be pulling that trick of late.

I like GTA IV more. Both look great, but I would have to agree with others who are saying 2 Days looks too clean to be realistic. I also like the variation in colors/tones in GTA, while 2 Days seems to have one single color theme.

When did this whole let's-compare-games-long-befor e-any-of-them-is-out thing start? This is the silliest and most meaningless comparison I've seen. You can't compare games that you have'nt seen/played and that are far from done.

if both games got exlcusive stuff, like 2days is fully detail and u can brake a cars window if lock, i heard gta4 u can walk around a club with no problems during day but come back at night and it may be ur last...(change of enviroment) plus destructive buildins so my choice would be buy both, by the time u beat gta4, 2days would be a new experience to try...maybe 2days will have planes unlike gta4

If they manage to bring the dirtiness of GTA IV to 2Days2Vegas then it will definitely look better. Atm, I can't say which I think feels better. 2Days2Vegas looks really good and a bit more realistic too, but also lacks of some realism because of too clean look. GTA IV does not look as real but feels more real, maybe just because non clean looks.

What the hell, both will be good I bet :)
