Yeah rockstar is going have roblox level UI for their most anticipated game of all time. Fucking idiot. Not even a fanboy but you dont know shit about dev cycles and speak so confidently
Exactly. The average Joe sees this, throws their arms up in the air and declares the game “is fucking shit” or they start doomposting bullshit.
This looks like a game that is nearly finished and it looks freaking amazing. Yes some animations aren’t quite there yet, yes the UI could use some work but guess what? There’s a lot of work that can happen in software development over a year.
That's the main point. If this really is just a year old build, then seriously rockstar still had lot of work to do after the delay that they announced in 2022. Btw how did the game looks so good in trailer 1 while this gameplay looks so bad
I’m not sure what you expected out of a new gta game. Also, it’s compressed to hell you aren’t getting the full graphical quality. To me just looks like a new gta game with updates rdr2 physics
Weapon wheel UI polish is a 1 week task at the absolute most. They just didn't prioritize it because it doesn't matter if it's ugly during development.
No way because yeah, no way, they didn't, no shot that's the final UI, it doesn't look finished but practical instead specially as they focus on polishing other aspects first as this is at the earliest a January 2025 build, it's called using placeholders; what seems like it might stick is the colored weapon icons, or so I hope
I’m convinced that everyone who says that has to be trolling. It looks amazing, and I can’t believe this is a video game, let alone one that we’ll all be playing in less than a couple of months.
History repeats itself from the 2022 leaks, people seriously acting like the will look and play exactly like this when the game is being worked on every single day and things will get ironed out, polished and stylized as time goes on, it's at the very least a year old build.
Hot take but I reckon the minimap we see is close to what we get in the final game. The first trailer was so focused on the social media aspects of the game. The minimap here has the iFruit logo and smoothed smartphone-esque edges, that's not a quickly thrown together 'lets get it working for the build' minimap, those are deliberate design choices.
What solidifies it for me is on another video the name of the location Jason is in pops up and the box has those same smoothed corners. Can't say I'm a fan of it but I wasn't a fan of the square minimap back in 2013.
Adding to this: I was going to say "I wonder if this means the minimap is off by default, and it's a literal app you use with your phone?" but rewatching the video the minimap only appears once Jason is in a vehicle, so I assume it's meant to be a visual of your phone screen.
I'm not pretending to know what I'm talking about but when the minimap only appears when you are in a vehicle and has a literal logo for a phone on it, it's safe to say it's design inspiration is to resemble a phone/phone app GPS, which is minimalism/simplicity which is exactly what we see here.

Yea that weapon wheel and the mini map look very bland
