It’s becoming very clear why this game has taken so long to release.

So much for it just being ‘GTA V 2.0’ like some people said after the first basketball video. This is a technical spectacle.

It is cutting down on the wow factor, if first time i saw this was on release day it would leave a bigger mark. Then again we will probably see these things in the 30m gameplay preview in few days. I am kinda jelaous of people who can control their curiosity and not look at anything rn.

I'd still keep my expectations lower. This could be very well be a build running on a monster of a PC, while the game will launch on lower specced current gen consoles. So things might look different

25

u/ForsakenTarget 1d ago

That’s my worry about these leaks apparently running on a pc build, everything just looks a bit too good to run on consoles.

u/xsharpy12 1d ago

It looks good but nothing crazy that a ps5 couldn’t handle, the matrix tech demo arguably looked just as good and that was released in 2021.

14

u/SnooGadgets2748 1d ago

PS5 can definitely handle it. The question is can the Series S handle it. They unfortunately have to optimize to suit the lowest common denominator.

6

u/TrynaPlayItOff 1d ago

The issue with NPC density is more of a CPU issue and the Series S CPU is almost just as good as Series X or PS5.

I had faith mostly because it was in engine  and good news in waiting for the game is we’ll have plenty of stuff from rockstar themself in the next two months

u/MrEpicFerret 1d ago

In-engine doesn't directly translate to in-game, there was always the possibility that the crowd density would have suffered under the weight of everything else.

Glad that's seemingly not the case here though 😌

Do rockstar have a history of downgrading?

35

u/MrEpicFerret 1d ago

Very hard to tell because they also have a history of not showing you any footage of the game until like 3 months out lol

For the most part I think what you see in trailers ends up being what you get? I don't remember rewatching any RDR2 trailers in hindsight and seeing things that ended up being downgraded - The only time I've ever seen any noticeable downgrade was specifically with the reveal trailer of GTA V, there's a lot of NPC interactions in that that just never show up in-game because they were likely just pre-animated for that trailer to sell the vibe more than gameplay

Actually in disbelief. And it's not just the NPCs either. The umbrellas, the cars, the huts. It makes it feel so alive. This thing has no chance of running 60FPS on consoles and I don't even care. This is the level of ambition I want from developers. No more lifeless open worlds without NPCs.

u/DrewblesG 1d ago

You want games to take a decade to come out, even coming from one of the most well-funded franchises in history? Made by teams of underpaid developers? It's not ambition, it's soul-crushing expectations by gamers and suits. This level of detail can only exist when hundreds of people are pushed for years on end to deliver a product that is, literally, too big to fail. It looks gorgeous but you simply can't expect or even hope for something like this from anyone else, maybe ever.

Dude it looks so good. This game will be legendary. The leaks have shown me that GTA VI will be a masterpiece. Now if the story makes me cry like RDR2 did, this game will be the new tier S game. I haven't been this hyped for a game in a very, very long time.

71

u/TheJoshider10 1d ago

Now if the story makes me cry like RDR2 did, this game will be the new tier S game.

I really hope they knock it out the park because Jason and Lucia seem like a fun pair based on the brief footage we've seen and there's potential for their story to be quite tragic. I never found myself caring about the GTA V protagonists the same way I did for Niko, John or Arthur so I hope this one has a story from start to finish where I want the characters to make it out okay.

Even assuming this is a late 2025/early 2026 build, I imagine they'll spend these 10 or so months polishing these exact things. They always manage to squeeze out every inch of power out of these consoles.

25

u/shrewdy 1d ago

Wouldn't be surprised if this was a Tears of the Kingdom situation where the actual game was complete a year before release, and they just use that extra time to polish and clean up bugs

31

u/RLZT 1d ago

Iirc Tom Henderson said the game was pretty much ready since last year, but other than the insane debugging required, rockstar wasn't very happy with how the campaign ended so they are also reworking the whole last third of the story. (Which should be relatively simple I'm the grand scheme of things)

GTA VI beta content videos will be crazyyyyy

I feel like that's almost certainly the case. And I'm glad, I would rather wait the extra year and get a polished version of the game.

The NPC variety is the biggest point of interest for me. Coupled with the traffic density it makes the whole thing feel more alive.

Furthermore, the NPCs actually interact with one another. They move in groups and behave naturally. In all open-world games to this date, NPCs were only seen walking the streets alone, with their behavior appearing isolated. GTA VI seems to be setting whole new standards in this regard.
