Players Are Skeptical That GTA 6 Will Look Like the Trailer

We all saw the life-like new trailer for GTA 6, and basically everyone was speechless; now, when the initial hype died down, the players are a bit skeptical that the game will look like the trailer.

RaidenBlack1d 10h ago

I have my slight doubts as well. To my eyes, the visuals in first trailer looks marginally better.
I presume there might be different visual preset(s) for cutscenes, and gameplay and the game'll seamlessly transition between the two.
Then again, they made GTA V possible on a PS3 and RDR2 on an Xbox One. So ... fingers crossed, I guess.

darthv721d 10h ago

With the way they made this trailer... it looks more like a fast and furious movie than a GTA game. I wouldnt be surprised if this will get a mod on PC to replace Jason and Lucia with Dom and Letty.

RaidenBlack1d 10h ago

I want them replaced by Phil and Jim Ryan models.
The bed scenes'd be quite metaphorical, with current Xbox injecting its games to PS library, Phil'll be knocking up Ryan.

abstractel1d 3h ago

I'm a long-time dev (am I allowed to mention this here?), worked/working on triple A games, and I don't blame people for being skeptical. To be fair, most of my dev friends were also skeptical Black Myth was going to turn out as well as it did (mostly because it came from an unknown dev). GTAVI looks _incredible_ and the "running on PS5" text on the trailer and not specifying PS5 Pro makes me even more skeptical. Also curious how they'll swing the Series S version. Having said that, it's been in development for what, 10 years(?) with an almost unlimited budget and attracting the most talented developers in the industry. With those resources it's possible.

Cacabunga19h ago

I think it will look as good as the trailer.
Same shock we had with RDR2 first trailer where face models looked unreal.. RDR2 still looks mindblowing to this day.

sinjonezp16h ago

Did anyone read the bottom of the screen? It literallly said, captured on a PS5. I totally believe that this was captured on a ps5 because anyone seen Calisto Protocol? You see they are using a lot of FSR by looking at the hair and water. This is possible the only concern is framerate.

Think you’ve got the power dynamic confused. It’s MS that’s been put in its place here.

Cut scenes can always look amazing.
Gameplay is what we see the majority of time when playing the game.

thorstein1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Killzone 2 says hi.

Initial trailer "omg, no way that's real!"

Game: looks even better.

Cacabunga17h ago

Cannot agree more. KZ2 will never age
CELL processor was misunderstood and we are realizing how precious that was

mike32UK11h ago

Reading "CELL processor" just took me straight back to my teenage years when E3 was my shit! 😂

Profchaos1d 2h ago

Rockstar tweeted this

"Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes."

Eonjay21h ago

As Rockstar stated the trailer is equal parts gameplay and cinematic. There were two parts I was able to make out as gameplay.

The very first instance of gameplay shown is when Jason opens the door and goes inside the house. It's pretty smooth but if you look close you can see that it's shifting to gameplay.

I will wait for PC version it will be the best version. Sucks to wait but it is what it is

Lightning771d 8h ago

I 100% believe that's what the game will look like. Presentation and high fidelity graphics are finally starting to shine later in the gen so expect this game to look as advertised.

darthv721d 8h ago

Oh it will.... on the Pro. All the effects and reflections look to exceed anything ever done on a base 5 before.

cloganart1d 5h ago

I'm expecting a big resolution and FPS bump instead of marginally different effects like that.

Flawlessmic1d 5h ago

Rockstar have come out and come firmed trailer was a mixture of gameplay/kinematics and that it was all running on a base ps5.

The game will look as advertised they literally have a team of like a 100 people working on this and apparently a cost of a billion dollars to make.

This game will be super optimised!!!

andy851d 6h ago

GTA games always look as good if not better than their trailers

Ninver1d 5h ago

That's cause it won't. This was all cinematic in-engine footage. It's always doll'd up for trailers.

GTA 6 Is Stealing The Horny Crown From Baldurs Gate 3

TNS: It only took GTA 6 to present its characters Jason an d Lucia in a trailer to steal the horny crown of Baldur's Gate 3.

If you think this at all touches the horniness of BG3, then you haven't played BG3 or been on the subreddit for the game.

chrisx9h ago

With these 2 it might mean we won't be able to pick hookers lol. Like GTA 4

anast3h ago

Just an excuse to use this title

I didn't see anything to prove that statement at all. Can you F a bear? No? Case closed

Rockstar confirms the GTA VI trailer comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes

Rockstar Games : Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.

italiangamer1d 9h ago

PlayStation 5 directly mentioned on the official Rockstar's Twitter account, and people still questioning if Sony has the marketing rights or not 😂.
By the way when GTA 6 comes out in 1 year the PS5 will have reached the 100 million units mark 🤯.

Scissorman19h ago

And its release is going to be a system seller for Sony. I wouldn't be surprised if it pushes the PS5 passed the PS4 total of 118 million units next year.

Aloymetal17h ago

No doubt about that, another gen with 100+ mil in the bag. This game is gonna sell like crazy just like the PS5.

1nsomniac10h ago

Just listen to the state of you losers.

That’s not me trying to bash you, that’s genuine pity for you.

neutralgamer199214h ago

I think this is the first GTA where Sony doesn't have to pay at all or a lot for exclusive marketing. What choice does R* have for partners? One console sells all the games while other console has gamers who consume their content through a subscription service (not hating on either just stating facts)

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sold more than 90% on PS5. The sales breakdown just gives Sony a huge advantage when negotiating deals. Their platform sell games.

InUrFoxHole3h ago

Wow console sales... Fascinating!

thorstein1d 3h ago

Of course it did. Who says it didn't?

Grilla20h ago

Digital Foundry. Said it was all cutscenes.

tombfan16h ago

They just analyze from what they see... Rockstar in the other hand well... Erm... They are making the game and all the content for it. So I guess they're more trustworthy.

TheKingKratos16h ago

DF said it ... It must be true then

I mean who in their right mind would trust Rockstar who never released a trailer for a game and didn't exceeded it on release /s

thorstein16h ago

DF isn't what they used to be.

repsahj16h ago

DF is always guessing nowadays. Look what they did to Switch 2. All guessing, and they all guess it wrong.

Ashunderfire869h ago

Digital Foundry are not the end all be all. They are definitely not the game developers, I trust more than YouTubers trying to get views. Digital Foundry was called out back when they defended the first Halo Infinite trailer, blaming the bad graphics on lighting🤣

They were very wrong about the power of the Switch 2 as well. No I stick with what the developers say thank you very much.

Tacoboto9h ago

Did you actually watch DF?

It was a long 40+ minute video, of them showing how it is real rendering. Reducing that to them having "Said it was all cutscenes" is a flat out lie.

CrimsonWing6920h ago

I mean you can tell if you’ve played GTA games, like the walking into the home is a cutscene to gameplay transition, the weight lifting is gameplay, the first person driving view is, and the riding the motorcycle while a plane is behind you is as well. There’s probably more, but it’s impressive that it’s difficult to tell.

The other thing I noticed is in previous GTA trailers they’ve shown missions but used cinematic camera angles on them for the trailer. So maybe the swamp chase is gameplay.

Man, this game… my hype is through the roof. I’m just hoping what we see isn’t going to be massively downgraded. The fact that it’s shown on PS5 makes me think this is really it.

fr0sty17h ago

GTA has always used in-engine cutscenes, so there isn't any difference in quality between the cutscenes and gameplay to begin with.

Cockney14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Of course there is, cutscenes always outshine gameplay simply because they have more power to play with, no ai just scripted, yeah they always whack up the quality for cutscenes

Terry_B12h ago

GTA 2 had movie cutscenes.

MatrixxGT17h ago

I know it’s just a trailer but I think this is the first game that feels “next gen” since the whole ps5 era began 5yrs ago.

LarVanian17h ago

Spider-man 2 (excluding the launch glitches and bugs) gave me somewhat of a next gen feel.
I get what you mean however. It's a pity we are only getting that feeling in what is most likely the final stage of this gen.

anast17h ago

Demon Souls, Spiderman 2, Ratchet and Clank, Astrobot, Returnal...all feel this gen. This is 1 game a year.

MatrixxGT14h ago

1 game a year is pathetic compared to Sonys track record though. Really feels as if I could have kept my ps4 pro all this time and not miss much outside the benefits of a SSD.
Hopefully with this and intergalactic the next few years can really start cooking.

anast14h ago

@Matrix

Anyone the uses the word 'pathetic' in a discussion like this should take a break to realign those chakras. Then did through some history and comeback with an actual response.

anast3h ago

I can't even call that naive ignorance at this point. Laziness perhaps.

PanicMechanic1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Yea Spiderman 2… game blew me away with the sandman fight on ps5… at 360p resolution🤣 it was more of an iteration on Spiderman ps4. Nothing about it is all that amazing. Plus looking back, that game actually sucked balls and was a huge disappointment for me after falling in love with Spiderman 1 and MM

Returnal for sound design. Other than that, it runs at 1080p on ps5.

Astrobot? Yes ratchet? Definitely yes. Demons souls? Hellllll yes

TheKingKratos16h ago

That's because most games released till very recently was mostly cross gen and most major 1st party developers didn't release a true ps5 game that was build from the ground up

this gen sucks

InUrFoxHole3h ago

Yeah but this game is gonna sell consoles.

italiangamer16h ago

This gen is going to last a long time, look at the PS4, it's 12 years old and games are still announced every week for it.
The same will happen with the PS5 so I'm not worried at all.

MatrixxGT14h ago

Yeah I think we have just hit the point of diminishing returns as far as hardware goes. Growing up through all the gens it was super cool seeing the new generation games and how much of a generational leap games became and with this transition it’s been pretty blah outside SSDs reducing load times.

repsahj16h ago

Demons Souls remake looks next gen to me during it's launch.

They ignore anything that doesn't align with stupidity.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Tech Breakdown - Incredible Realism, Impressive RT, Astonishing Detail

Digital Foundry : Straight out of nowhere, Rockstar unleashed a brand-new, feature-packed trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 - and the level of visual accomplishment here is simply astonishing for a current-gen game - and captured from a standard PlayStation 5, no less. John, Oliver and Alex compare notes on the trailer, sharing their thoughts on various aspects of the game's technological profile.

I will likely buy it on PS5, I'd like to buy the PC release but what might be a good idea is to buy it on PS5 and then I may wait for it to launch on PC with a good discount for the 60+FPS gameplay.

Just a shame the PC version probably won't launch the same year as on console. I won't double dip at silly pricing though.

Snookies121d 4h ago

Yeah, I'm just going to get it on PS5. Would have loved a simultaneous PC release but I'm not waiting around for it. Always insane to me when developers actively build these games on PCs from the ground up. Then don't release them for consumers on PC, lol. I'm definitely not paying full price when it DOES come to PC.

andy8521h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Can't wait for this, even if it's 30 fps which still isn't confirmed, played it for years and years in the past and it didn't kill me. I'm sure the eyes will adjust again
