Watch the video about Roman Bellic...it shows the Euphoria engine in action. I still drool on the car-hiting-peds physics ;). Also the Steinway Beer Garden Video is funny tooo.

Ya, the physics in GTA IV should be very good. And GTA has never been about graphics, yet i wonder why Rockstar is always about lighting when i come to graphics.

GTA4 is gonna look like that rockstar table tennis game, because that game and GTA4 uses the same "rage" engine. If you have played table tennis on the 360, then you will know how gta4 will look like. IMO, table tennis looked pretty good.

i have to agree with you there,

The other week i played on the wii at best buy, playing Mario Galaxy, and the graphics where a tad blocking and lacking AA, and this on the demo stand. Not even on a simple 27in tv did the game look great.

it is more or less a novelty system designed for the mainstream market, its not really intended for hardcore gaming, so they really dont have a need to put a powerful chipset in there, although it would have been nice;), not to mention i hate the wii-mote(but thats personal preference)

With Euphoria, no two car vs. ped collision will ever look the same...
doesn't the forced unleashed utilize the same engine, also i cant wait to play this once they port it over to pc, it would be cool if the had a multiplayer for this, that would be fun, imagine how wicked that would, and how powerless the cops would be

That game really is in serious need of Anti-Aliasing Especially if their gonna put it on a Samsung HDTV at Wal Mart for display as a demo.

August or November 08, or possible the year wait and April 09.
