In fairness, their first trailers for the past 2 GTA games haven’t been gameplay, so I assume they’re just keeping with that pattern. And also those trailers did look similar to the final game, not exact but I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to expect GTA VI to look this good on max settings.

Framerate on the other hand, maybe to look this good it’ll have to be 30 which won’t be nice

It’s the mocap/animations. Every character in every scene in the trailer is fully mocapped. Crowds dancing in sync together at a club, reacting to eachother on the beach, parking on a busy street and exiting cars. I’m sure some of it is in the game, in scripted encounters. Probably not random sandbox gameplay people think of when they think GTA

Based on how late into the console Gen it is releasing wouldn’t be surprised if their strategy is 30 fps and then selling a 60+ fps version remaster for next Gen consoles, and then 18 months later a PC version.

Yeah, the video is 30fps, and seems to be captured at 1440p given the stair-stepping on some of the surfaces. Though that’s reading quite a bit into a short clip, so we’ll see.

The trailer is full of artifacts that are common with modern game graphics techniques. The hair on the girl at the roof top pool is the easiest place to identify this. It has that shimmery pixel effect that is common with frame reconstruction like FSR or DLSS, not sure what they’ve implemented here. Probably FSR since it’s a console first target. It’s definitely in engine footage.

There does seem to be evidence of some post-processing though in some scenes, or perhaps renders instead of engine footage, but it’s pretty hard to tell. Most of it looks to be in-engine captures.

If true, those are some pretty impressive graphics. However, I suspect it’d come at the expense of controls feeling sluggish - realistic animation means your character won’t instantly move when you push the button/key. As nice as GTA5 and RDR2 looked, I found the perceived input delay annoying as fuck.

GTA V’s single player content support was immediately cut when they found how much money their MMO style game makes by F2P monetization.

We will see the same terrible business tactics: Delay PC release so much that people buy the console versions, the PC release will be superior thanks to the then progressed technical advancements and the mod support to double dip, and then triple dip, because new content will be online only with MTX, if they don’t abolish single player from the get go.

It’s sad because DLCs were a great way to get new story based content without having to wait over a decade for a sequel. Same with Red Dead Redemption. Seeing the map south open up and having no missions there that could have been used for future story DLCs was depressing.

I hate that so many people are drawn to spending money on online mtx. I never saw the appeal of spending money there, but tons of people love it. Kind of wish I loved it as much as they do so I wouldn’t be so bothered by the departure from story DLCs.

Removing audio from bought games is theft as did Rockstar, recently Sony and other streaming servicesNot selling or including it for future customers is a license issue, but you should actually “own” the files tied to the account.

I tried to make GTA 4 work on my machine and it was a major issue: FusionFix, DXVK with additional parameters like Vsync lock as per PCGamingWiki, Steam Overlay enabling due to slowdown after a minute, commandline.txt with resolution, FusionFix tweak for cutscene FPS limit and tweaking slightly some settings in-game and still there are poorly explainable drops. But at least most of the game is viewable at 60 fps with much higher fidelity. Nothing to the 20 fps VHS cassette resolution of the original console release.

“Our game is so immersive, if you dont pay 16% interest monthly for your vehicle, it gets repo’d. But our new and improved shark cards can cut that interest in half for a small price of $60, or $120 to reclaim the vehicle that very moment.”

They’ve normally been pretty good about keeping that shit away from the single player side of things.

Couldn’t give a fuck about multiplayer, they can sign people up for medical experiments in exchange for funbucks for all I care. That side of it just doesn’t interest me at all. If I wanted to be called a homosexual slur by an eight year old I’d go to the park.

My prediction is on it having stuff like the far cry and CoD games where there’s an in game store you can buy “exclusive” items, skins, boosts, shit like that.

Every loading screen will have an advert for the current “season” of items that will, for no reason at all, become unavailable forever in a few weeks time.

None of it will cost real money, it will use some in game currency will convert from real money in increments that are just slightly higher than the in shop items, so you are always left with some left in your wallet.

Normal game progression will reward with some of this currency, just enough to buy the cheapest store item. In game events will give you some free items that you go to the store to claim. The free stuff is shite.

I believe this statement partially, because the lighting of the car headlight cone was the same bad one as we know from GTA IV. That must be in-engine if not actual in-game. What I am worried about is whether the game engine will feature more advanced physics and cop chases. As a result while GTA 5 was the better game, I think the free roaming experience suffered a lot from GTA IV, where the physics gave the world more dynamic opportunities. At the time it was probably done to optimize the abysmal performance.

IV was on another level, specifically the driving…I absolutely hated V’s on-rails arcadey driving so much.

@[email protected]

Technically the handling is unrealistically boaty, but it had more fine details to it. Need for Speed Heat managed to pull off sn impressive pseudo realistic arcade physics thing. It makes sense with quite some depth, but is also not realistic. Perhaps there is for GTA a similar middle between soft boat suspension and a train track.

IV was not realistic by any chance but it felt amazing and had weight behind it.

I feel frustrated by the driving physics. I cannot place the car where I want it to, while funny and entertaining they get launched easily into the air, and understeering is less fun than its counterpart. The cars do have weight, but the soft suspension is on a silly level.

I mean, it looked basically like something a talented modder could put into the GTA 5 engine (followed, I’m sure, by an instant cease-and-desist or lawsuit by Take2) so… yeah, I’m sure it is. Big whoop? GTA 5 looks OK but it is also ten fucking years old.

Scale is definitely what I’m looking forward to. Current graphic fidelity has hit the ceiling in terms of lighting. High resolution ray trace only lighting is still out of reach but they did redo global illumination so it scales better.

It’s just a different art style, there are a bunch of technical improvements over RDR2, such as:

  • NPC density (dance club, beach, etc)
  • urban lighting and reflections (esp. on cars and buildings)
  • hair animations (guy standing on green truck, white bikini girl whipping hair)
  • high render distance in model-dense areas (e.g. beach scene w/ details in the distance)

It doesn’t seem to be going for realism, but it does seem to be adding a ton of tech.

I mean every other game in the series seemed to have been going for realism idk why this one would be different. It may have many technical improvements but imo that doesn’t excuse things like skin that looks smooth as butter on almost every NPC lol

Not that I’m not excited, just a bit disappointed.

For some reason, that beach scene really impressed me.

To be honest I think the art style is a small bit dated, it looks very similar to GTA V. I’m not entirely against it but it’s difficult to see where the improvements are so far, granted it is only a teaser.
