He began by promising much improved visuals, saying they’ll be “polished well beyond what they were on the 360 and PS3.” […]
The visuals do indeed look more polished — lighting is more realistic and there’s a much higher level of detail on both characters and environments.
Just the thought of this makes me want a Crysis-grade PC so bad.
New features will include a replay editor. Whenever you’re playing the previous 30 seconds of gameplay will be recorded, so at any time you can stop and watch what you just did. You can also edit footage — chop it up, add filters, switch camera angles and so on.
There will also be a montage editor that lets you link together multiple 30-second clips. You’ll be able to share the movies you make via the internet and the Rockstar Social Club.
If it worked during online play, that would make GTA IV the Ultimate Machinima Application. But I’m not so sure it will, if it only records a 30-second buffer — multiplayer mode is unlikely to let you pause the game to rewind or save the video.
Damn. That would be such a horribly missed opportunity.
