The lovely people at Rockstar have been treating us webmasters pretty damned well for quite some time (hug, hehe), and the latest in tasty treats from across the water is a series of exclusive screenshots.

Below is mine, which as you can see shows off the gorgeous VC lighting effects to their fullest, and isn't that gun just so damn shiney?

Big thanks to Rockstar for the screenie.

Looks heavily touched in to me.  Bloody false advertising...like they stick reflected images on the mirror surfaces of wing mirrors to fake that too. :|
Why is that taxi riding so high up?  Bloody lazy handling setters. ;D

I bet it used light boxes still. :]

Or maybe your box just sux0rs? :p

GTA3 looks about that good on my PC (save of course the stupid light boxes and blocky peds), so I don't see how it's altered. I'm sure they're just running it at 1600x1200 with 2xFSAA on....

Hehe, they do add stuff to thier promo shots that the game doesn't have though.  One of the shots thats been going round shows a car with a tree being reflected in the glass of a wing mirror - they had a similar shot for GTA3, which had a tree reflected in the wing mirrir of the Esperanto. :]

So it probably won't do everything that's shown there, althought the flare from the lights at Kenjis casino is a little like the flare from the lights from the car behind the taxi.  Looks very silly though, don't tend to get floodlights in the nose of a sports car...

And I still want to know why that taxi is riding so bloody high, does it have hydraulics or what! :))
Looks like it's been set at -0.2 instead of -0.15ish. :!
EDIT:  In actual fact, that taxi looks like a pile of p00p!  It's bumpers look like dirty lengths of rails off a disused tram line.

I just hope the handling doesn't rely so heavily on coincidental effects when setting it up this time! ;D
