Where'd you get a note that any of what we saw was running on ps5? Everything was prerendered cutscenes so your mind will be really blown when you see an actual movie on ps5...
Edit: It says on the end it's captured on ps5 and captured does not equal rendered.
I don’t think GTA games have ever used pre-rendered cut scenes
Title card on the end reads "Captured on PS5" and Digital Foundry were 99% sure the first trailer was in engine.
Ahh didn't notice that in the end. Still captured =/= rendered.
It generally means it's not pre-rendered, but we'd need a professional group like DF to determine what's in engine and what's prerendered. A lot of the normal character scenes don't look prerendered.
Rockstar is well known for having trailers that are in-engine
Source on pre-rendered cutscenes? ~~Idk if this is running/captured on console hardware~~, but I can't think of a rockstar game that used prerendered scenes.
Edit- final moments do say captured on PS5. Phew we're back to people thinking GTA looks too good for real time. Nature is healing.
As long as there seems to be no claims of it really running on the hardware rather than captured on it, the scenes could as well be prerendered. It's not about thinking it looks too good for real time (it doesn't). It's just the cynicism towards trailers which don't show any gameplay and especially long before the game is out.
Its a healthy skepticism but historically speaking rockstar hasn't toyed like that in the past. This trailer is in line with previous rockstar releases - they'll rarely go full "gameplay mode" (camera behind the character), but still showing footage from the game engine.
The leak three years ago, showing 2019 state, basically confirmed what gameplay looked like this is not far off.
Exactly. They'll be staged/scripted scenes, but probably not pre-rendered.
