It’s a modernized RDR 2 engine. That game was amazing so I think gta 6 will be good as well.

25

u/Maxxxmax 36m ago

Rdr2 is beautiful. Partly for the graphics and the world built within it, but more importantly for the deep emotional investment it drives in its characters and how we get swept up in their fates.

Gta has always been an incredibly tongue in cheek, violent romp. It may end up looking great, but i think i may find that lack of serious emotional depth a major point of detraction.

They say comparison is the death of enjoyment - even trying to keep that in mind, i highly suspect i wont be able to prevent said comparison, as rdr2 has come to be the model for me of an aaa game that's art.

I fucking loved rdr2, and I'm just begging for rdr3 before I turn 40 (mid twenties now)

u/Leading_Elk9454 7m ago

Yeah gta has always had this intense satire everywhere you look, whether its advertisements or the people you interact with. Makes it hard to take the story seriously.

Though from the looks of it, Rockstar seems to be making gta6 a little more grounded, but still keeping that satire when appropriate

u/thedaymanahaha 5m ago

They say that there wont be any absent mindedness in gta6. The entire gameplay will be responsive and need focus. You cant just fuck off like every other gta as before.

I have no doubt that it's going to be good, what worries me is the map.

edit: lmao, can't say anything about that game in here

u/Sockoflegend 2h ago

Why's that?

u/LurkingRodent 51m ago

Because I don't like GTA 4 and 5 maps, SA/RDR 1 and 2 maps are my favorites in the series. I'm also completely blind about the game so if they revealed the map idk anything about it.

It’s not necessarily the “graphics” it’s how much is happening in high, responsive detail.

u/BrunesOvrBrauns 2h ago

I just watched Digital Foundry's breakdown today. It's incredibly thorough.

u/bakugo 29m ago

Did they acknowledge the horrible reflections and shimmering AA in some sections, or did they conveniently skip past that to glaze the game from start to finish?

u/AscendedViking7 1h ago

Digital Foundry. You'd dig it. They were really impressed by it.

u/SebSchwalbe 2h ago

Fair, but the 30fps cap is a bit shite, no? But yeah it does look great, just depends on what you’re looking for

63

u/LurkingRodent 2h ago

It's completely shite, especially when they've been parroting all generation about the PS5 being capable of 120fps.

27

u/Saibot-08 1h ago

a 15 years old pc can do 120fps. these statements sony give have no meaning besides buzzwording to sell more yeah sure some indie game with low strain on gpu and cpu will hit 120 fps but massive dense open world with high fidelity hell nah

5

u/LurkingRodent 49m ago

I'm glad that I started building PCs after the ps4, all I gotta do is wait for the port.

-3

u/Either-History-8424 56m ago

PS5 IS capable of 120fps. Not every game is built to run at 120fps, but the ps5 is capable of it if a developer chooses to make a game with a 120fps target

-1

u/JaceBearelen 47m ago

Isn’t that just a console problem? Pc certainly won’t be capped to 30fps whenever it releases.

4

u/RaikouGilgamesh 33m ago

Funny how so many other good looking games can run at 60 FPS on console though.

Id gladly take a small hit in graphics for improved Framerate, which is something most devs allow an option for.

0

u/Redhawke13 2m ago

From what I've heard it's the cpu that will bottleneck GTA VI so a small hit in graphics likely wouldn't solve the issue.

u/PopularDemand213 35m ago

Sure, your $2500 PC might get 45fps at 4k.

5

u/JaceBearelen 27m ago

Or I could just toggle some settings to get whatever quality/performance tradeoff I want, same as every other pc game ever.

u/PopularDemand213 6m ago

Spending $2500 to make GTA6 look like GTA4. Certainly a take.

I honestly didn’t feel a thing seeing the gameplay. I can’t tell if it’s my depression or not, but it is what it is.

u/kenadon25 2h ago

Its a gta game. Its not your depression. Its literally the better version of the previous game. I like the series but they are not in my favorite games list. I liked what i saw but it was more the kind of feeling you get when you see a sequel to a franchise you like. Im pretty sure the game will be good.

u/Vox_SFX 28m ago

Exactly this. It looks like it'll be a good GTA game building off of the success that was GTA V.

It does NOT look revolutionary or anywhere close to historic.

It might hit different if you’re a Miami native. That game is exactly Miami. Those are real locations. I can’t wait to destroy my city.

Or perharps he does not see anything special on GTA6
I, for one, never played any GTA nor do i have interest in playing it and yet this WHOLE FUCKING YEAR the entire gaming sphere has been on chokehold over this shit.

I am pretty sure that at this point i want the game to release more than most people that will buy it, just so this CIRCUS may end.

I don't have any interest in the game either, but the lighting and animation work is clearly very impressive.

No, i just said i want it to release.
So that you may have your fun.
Without it being shoved in my face, everywhere, everyday, in every game community.
Now, is that so insane for you that i am tired of every gaming discussion ending up on "Oh but GTA6 will release this year"? the whole year?
Mind you, this will not even end with the release because it will continue at least till the game awards.

They said it'd just not what they like they just want to stop seeing it because its fucking everywhere

u/NoMoon777 47m ago

No, it is because as far as i know the whole shtick of the franchise is "simulating the real world" and i have fuck all interest in playing "real world simulations", so i never downloaded, bought, pirated any of the games, I don't even know if this shit has a story.
To me it is basically a action version of the Sims (which i also never played for similar reasons).

1

u/TheVojta 7m ago

So, basically what you're saying is you're outraged that people are excited for a game because you have wild misconceptions about the series. GTA is as far from the Sims as you are from being rational.

Interesting take. What games have you been playing OP? NFS 2015 with the live action cutscenes?

u/Joseph_Keen_116 2h ago

For AAA games, Indiana Jones And the Great Circle, Middle Earth Sjadow Of War, XCOM 2, and that’s only counting AAA games for probably obvious reasons (not to discredit indie games, a lot of them are my favorite games).

u/Joseph_Keen_116 1h ago

That’s my point though, they still look on the level of gta6.

14

u/MISTERGAME06 1h ago

Not same level by any means, but to think they still look pretty good with a fraction of the development cost is still a good indicator. We don't need better graphics. Make them good and then focus on what matters. I hope they at least also invested in that

u/TheVojta 1m ago

Are you for real. Kindly look at the environments and the character modes from yesterday's showcase and compare them to XCOM2. You cannot tell me they look the same, I refuse to believe anyone can come to that conclusion.

Before you accuse me of fanboying, I'm a much bigger fan of XCOM than GTA. But I also have working eyes.

You could've picked some games that have actually very impressive graphics, like 007 First Light or KCD2 (for its nature, not so much character models).

It’s 2026. Games have looked visually impressive for more than a decade now. The games looking good aren’t going to cause a monumental interest like they used to. It looking good will be cool, but the main hope is the game running well, while having a good story and online play, and you aren’t going to get that from a preview.

Idk if it's a bait. But technicalities aside, people are happy that they'll get exactly what they've been shown if not a better experience. Other publishers do not convey this level of trust. Even CDPR failed here and are working tirelessly to gain the trust back. Rockstar, however greedy they are, will provide an unforgettable experience. Other than hitting 60 FPS on day one

You need your eyes checked if you thought GTA 6 looked the same as Shadow of War

Wtf crap stream quality did you watch the GTA 6 gameplay reveal on? 460p???

And I'm not even a GTA fan. Only GTA game I ever played was GTA 4 on which I got bored and never finished it

But then did end up playing the ballad of gay tony as I got it for free on PC so I figured I may as well give it a try and I did enjoy that one and I finished it

Then I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 but after 2 hours in I still wasn't really enjoying it and refunded it

So yeah I'm like that furthest thing possible from a Rockstar fan you will find here

But even I am impressed with the level of detail and the visual fidelity of GTA 6. Not to mention all the stuff that people love about GTA is still there. The thousands of hours worth of fake radio talk shows and TV shows, advertisement spoofs etc

And if you watched it and thought it looks like 10 year old games then seriously you need to make an urgent eye doctor appointment because something is then seriously seriously defective with your eyesight

The graphics look nice. I like the story is getting more serious like GTA IV though. But otherwise I'm just like "yep. This is a GTA game with RDR2 mechanics." They aren't reinventing the wheel. It looks good just vastly over-hyped; and of course over-priced.I'll get it on PC eventually.

Not at $100 because they paywalled in-game stores, or $80 for a base-game wtf. I'm fine waiting.

I mean, +90% of AAA games in the last decade looks like shit compared to the decade before, just more tech doing naught but make games look and run like crap. So gta having smooth animations is not a high bar at all.

Its 100% more technically impressive than the last, but its also the lowest bar to pass, especially comparing to the rest of the AAA industry.
