GTA 6 trailer looked meh

[🆂🅾🅻🅸🅳🆄🆂 🆂🅽🅰🅺🅴]

Can someone explain to me the hype for GTA 6 and that trailer, because I can't see it or feel it. Everyone is saying how the graphics looked mind blowing-ly amazing, when to me they looked no better than GTA 5's. It showed no new gameplay footage, just cutscenes of overweight women twerking on top of cars. It just looked like a degenerate America simulator. I would've been more hyped if we could play as an Italian, Russian or Cuban immigrant rising to the top with a premise similar to Vice City in the 80's or 90's. Instead, the main characters look uninteresting and boring. And playing the game will only remind me of this awful time period we live in. People are jumping in the air in excitement acting like it's the best thing to ever possibly be made when it was a 1 minute trailer that showed literally nothing of value.

People were waiting years for this. They hunger, they deserved a good meal.

Now, seriously and unfortunately: if you havent noticed, most games are being made related to the world outside. Like, the place where you touch grass. This is why they have all of that you call whatever you call.

well at least they've added hair physics
those long hairs look good, not as good as Lara Croft's hair in RoTTR and SoTTR though

its just a damn trailer and we dont even know if the game will look anything like the trailer so lets not jump into conclusions, comrade Vladimir Vladimirovich

"degenerate America simulator", take my money

I'm sorry what? The textures were better, the draw distance was better. There was much higher NPC density indoors and outdoors. The city area definitely looked far bigger and more dense than we've ever seen from Rockstar. Style is subjective, but you can't seriously say that the trailer didn't look better than GTA5.

I pretty much had the same reaction. Maybe perhaps cause I'm a GTA veteran that's been playing it since GTA 3. And that's the thing. GTA vets learned to appreciate GTA games before great graphics were a thing. The old GTAs aren't anything to write home about graphically speaking, but that didn't matter cause the games themselves were so much fun.

The new generation was probably only introduced to GTA with GTA IV or V. And the trilogy remasters probably left a sour taste in their mouth over the old GTAs. I guess after 10 years, you expect a little MORE. I sometimes wonder if Half Life 3 ever releasing would now garner the same reaction.

"degenerate America simulator" lol, gta 5 is not any better in this term, just enjoy the gameplay

What were you expecting? It seems bigger, denser, with better graphics, different environments, different vehicles, and more NPCs. I've played GTA since GTA1, It looks like a textbook example of a bigger and better sequel. Granted it's just Trailer 1 so we'll see what the next couple trailers look like.

Honestly? For them to actually show some gameplay or new side missions or stuff. I'm well aware any first trailer shows off the graphics and setting. But I've been unimpressed by those for years now. It's why all these "RTX raytracing/path tracing" games haven't really been impressing me or anything.

You'd think the fanboys would learn after the disappointments those Definitive Editions were. How anyone can still have faith in Rockstar is beyond me.

Well, we are going to have to wait and see if this is going to be a 'good meal'.

[Ryzilynt]

I'm going to have to agree with this. I watched the video , yesterday , saw all the rave comments people gushing.

It's a bunch of cut scenes spliced together.

I honestly don't get it. How is any of that remotely representative of the game?

Can you give me an example of what does impress you?

Eehm do you realize that what you were looking at were the actual in-engine game graphics? Those aren't pre-rendered cutscenes. Rockstar have always released their trailers with in-engine graphics since GTA 3. Only GTA 2 trailer also featured some live-action scenes. But since GTA 3 all the trailers from Rockstar always contained ingame graphics. It's scripted and edited scenes yes, but it features the actual ingame graphics which can be confirmed as there are a a few minor issues that can be observed when it comes to aliasing and screen-space reflections that wouldn't happen with pre-rendered graphics. So the graphics are so good that you actually thought this is just pre-rendered non-engine footage. This just speaks for itself how mindboggling good the graphics are if people like you are confusing it with pre-rendered cutscenes.

maybe he has been playing games made by Blizzard and didnt know that most modern games dont use pre-rendered crap for cutscenes

Just as an example, the scene where the cop chases the naked guy for a split second the naked guy obstructs the view to a gas pump behind him which causes the reflection of the pump in the wet driveway to disappear which happens with screen space reflections and would not happen with pre-rendered cutscenes.

Just as an example that scene you reference is a clip of an in-game version of TikTok.

Much in the same way you can turn channels on the radio and watch TV in the current game. (It's neat , I get it)

But it's not game play footage.

There's maybe 5% of that clip that's actual game-play footage, and that might be generous.

I can watch TikTok in GTA6... yay... I guess?

Too many words for a 1 minute 30 second trailer. Type less please.
