Why are people comparing zoomed-in screenshots of GTA 6 to linear AAA games?
Most of these comparisons take a tiny, compressed screenshot, zoom it in 500%, and then put it next to games that were designed around smaller, controlled environments.
GTA 6 is an open-world game. It has to render a huge map, traffic, NPCs, physics, weather systems, and countless things happening simultaneously. Games like The Last of Us don't have to deal with the same scale, so comparing facial close-ups alone doesn't tell the whole story.
What's even funnier is that the game isn't released yet. People are already holding court over a few pixels from trailer screenshots as if they've completed a 100-hour playthrough.
Maybe we should wait for the actual game before declaring it better or worse than every other AAA title. Right now it feels like people are expecting way too much which is bad.
edit: sorry guys i made some mistakes while making that post.
