    Well yeah, it didn’t look that amazing. It’s hardly photorealistic.

    It looked pretty much exactly what I’d expect a modern PS5 GTA game to look like.

        Yeah I got eaten alive on here the other day for saying they felt stilted in their movement.

        To be honest I think the art style is a small bit dated, it looks very similar to GTA V. I’m not entirely against it but it’s difficult to see where the improvements are so far, granted it is only a teaser.

    But will it still be plagued by their lazy mission design and gross monetization?

      They’ve normally been pretty good about keeping that shit away from the single player side of things.

      Couldn’t give a fuck about multiplayer, they can sign people up for medical experiments in exchange for funbucks for all I care. That side of it just doesn’t interest me at all. If I wanted to be called a homosexual slur by an eight year old I’d go to the park.

        Kids just don’t randomly yell Hurensohn at strangers in the park like they used to, must be why MMO is successful

      My prediction is on it having stuff like the far cry and CoD games where there’s an in game store you can buy “exclusive” items, skins, boosts, shit like that.

      Every loading screen will have an advert for the current “season” of items that will, for no reason at all, become unavailable forever in a few weeks time.

      None of it will cost real money, it will use some in game currency will convert from real money in increments that are just slightly higher than the in shop items, so you are always left with some left in your wallet.

      Normal game progression will reward with some of this currency, just enough to buy the cheapest store item. In game events will give you some free items that you go to the store to claim. The free stuff is shite.

    If true, those are some pretty impressive graphics. However, I suspect it’d come at the expense of controls feeling sluggish - realistic animation means your character won’t instantly move when you push the button/key. As nice as GTA5 and RDR2 looked, I found the perceived input delay annoying as fuck.

    I mean, it looked basically like something a talented modder could put into the GTA 5 engine (followed, I’m sure, by an instant cease-and-desist or lawsuit by Take2) so… yeah, I’m sure it is. Big whoop? GTA 5 looks OK but it is also ten fucking years old.

    Well I have never heard this exact statement before about any other games only for it to turn out to be untrue. 🙂

    I feel like I’m the only person who wasn’t blown away by the graphics.

    Like sure it looked really good, but it still looked like a videogame, on the same level as 3yo last-gen Last of Us 2

      Not even comparable to rdr2… which came out in like 2017. The characters\npcs look like cartoons lmao

        It’s just a different art style, there are a bunch of technical improvements over RDR2, such as:

        • NPC density (dance club, beach, etc)
        • urban lighting and reflections (esp. on cars and buildings)
        • hair animations (guy standing on green truck, white bikini girl whipping hair)
        • high render distance in model-dense areas (e.g. beach scene w/ details in the distance)

        It doesn’t seem to be going for realism, but it does seem to be adding a ton of tech.

          I mean every other game in the series seemed to have been going for realism idk why this one would be different. It may have many technical improvements but imo that doesn’t excuse things like skin that looks smooth as butter on almost every NPC lol

          Not that I’m not excited, just a bit disappointed.
