It's no secret that gender is a problematic topic in videogames as well as game culture at large. While some people have advocated for the inclusion of more women in our videogames, there are many reasons why the recipe for gender equality isn't that simple.
GTA V Enhanced has been updated on PC with improved ray tracing features. Read ahead to learn how it compares with the original version.
kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.
Take-Two announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025, also sharing an update on the sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The anticipation for GTA6 has reached fever pitch, with the latest trailer being the biggest video launch of all time.
Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.
To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not
GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.
No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.
I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.
A new Grand Theft Auto VI early comparison video highlights the massive jump in character detail, environments and more over its predecessor.
I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.
Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game
Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.
It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic
Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point
You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.
"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"
In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.
The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.
Great piece, and yes, tokenism or gender essentialism is undesired. However, the problem with allowing leeway for "hyper-sexualization& quot ; is that such a thing still largely takes place in the matrix of patriarchy. In other words, a lot of women hyper-sexualize themselves to attract the male-gaze, not because of their own self-determination. Many women, because they've been immersed and implicated in a patriarchal power dynamic for centuries, have internalized their "role" as sex objects. It's therefore dangerous to support hyper-sexualization lest it slips back into the old way of doing things. Women need first to be liberated from the idea that they exist to appease and please men. They idea itself is a social, cultural construction with no basis in reality or nature. Hyper-sexualization toes the edge of the precipice though. It might encourage women to slip back into that patriarchal dynamic.
If you deny hyper-sexualization however, you run the risk of being accused of body-shaming or slut-shaming, but I think the point of arguing against CONTEMPORARY sexualization has to do with how such a practice functions within this social order. We're still not out of the woods with regards to patriarchy. In an ideal world, people can be who THEY want to be without offending anybody, but as it stands, we have to challenge hypersexuality not to deny it, but to deny the exploitative and objectifying FORM it takes in this society. To undo such a historical habit will take a lot of work, and such a denial or refutation still isn't exactly mainstream. A lot of women have still fully internalized the "rules" imposed by patriarchy like a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. That isn't necessarily their fault though, it has to do with the cultural and social force of patriarchy that shapes them and limits the kind of information that they can access.
Getting tired of this topic, you wan't more female leads and non sexy women in games then go learn how to make games and do it yourself, don't try to deny developers artistic freedom because you want to play as average jane.
Seriously what do people not get about this? This isn't Politics where every group needs proper representation this is entertainment where the artist creates his vision,if that Vision doesn't Involve an average female lead so be it.
Its fine to want it but people need to stop acting like they are entitled to it.Same goes for "Ethnicity equality in games"
I seriously don't get this. Why do some people act like women are the victim of sexualization? Is it because men are stereotypically dogs? Men stereotypically drool at the sight of boobs?
Why does no one talk about the sexualization of men in video games? I guess no one does because apparently every guy in the world actually has 6-packs, hulking muscles and a handsome face, charming personality and is a bad boy. I'm sure that these qualities are almost every girl's wet dream.
Anyway, I'm not going to bother writing an essay, you get the point. This is such a double-standard it's ridiculous.
