The character animation looks mediocre, like they haven't updated their mo-cap rigs in 15 years. The facial animation is also way behind the state of the art. For a 2026 AAA game, it's disappointing.
I was going to say the same thing about the facial animations. On one hand it gives it that signature rockstar feel while on the other feels very outdated and immersion breaking.
HOWEVER, this will not stop me from playing.
eh who cares, as long as gameplay's good I'll get it in 10 years when it'll be ported to PC and price has gone down reasonably
They blocked Linux on gta 5, so I lost interest in gta 6. Hurts me, but their greed with gta online kind of killed the series for me.
They only blocked online. Can still play single player on linux.
I played single player thousands of hours since the Xbox 360. I own maybe 10 copies of gta 5. Sad they never released the DLC.
Maybe in 5 years when it’s $20 I might pick it up. But the hype isn’t there for me anymore.
Only reason I’m replaying single player is they released the Enhanced Edition for free on Steam if you already owned it.
Honestly this looks disappointing but prob the perfect game for the bread & circuses crowd.
Holy crap, that's some next-level photo-realism they were able to achieve on... reads notes PS5! 🤯 The story and gameplay look promising as well.
Doesn't tell much about its story and gameplay, but the graphics are indeed really impressive
It's bonnie and clyde. it's crime plus romance.
Gameplay : it's GTA. You can probably swap between the two characters.
What gameplay?
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.
Rockstar is well known for having trailers that are in-engine
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.
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.
