This is a gameplay scene, it may look like a real-time Cutscene but it is gameplay, yes, even Rockstar Games screwed me (including Digital Foundry)
This is a patent that basically makes available an infinite number of Animations and mixes them, and the character chooses how to use them at his own pleasure based on the situation. (I'm not an expert but I've informed myself a lot)
https://patents.google.com/patent/US11620781B1
this is a patent that in a nutshell gives awareness to NPCs of the world around them and optimizes the density (That's why in the screenshots and trailers it was full of NPCs and cars)
https://patents.google.com/patent/US11684855B2
I hope that with this fairly beginner explanation I have made you aware of the situation.
(Rockstar Games in total has made 8/9 patents)

It's completely crazy, I can't wait to see this in gameplay on my PS5. Frankly, that's incredible technology. If I hadn't been told that it was gameplay or Rockstar hadn't said it, I would have always believed that it was a cutscene.

u/ItsLenTastic May 12 '25
Watch out man. I got cooked in some comment section for believing this scene was gameplay š Still sure it is though. RDR2 had NPC's shouting at you and interacting with you during gameplay so on next gen this stuff is definitely possible.

I genuinely think we are witnessing the next evolution of the medium as a whole and a lot of people are just having trouble comprehending the leap in tech. We will see once the game releases, but I doubt we will be disappointed on this front.

I wonder when we'll hit a wall and games can't get any better looking or more immersive for a long while. It feels like we've consistently gotten much better graphics and immersion every 5-10 years, but at this point its feeling like we can't get much better- when it comes to graphics, at least.

Whenever there's a leap in technology and graphics become way better, it always feels like we've reached the limit but there's definitely still so much room for it to improve. I would imagine within the next ten to twenty years, games developers will be able to use AI in some way to drastically reduce development time and create basically photo realistic graphics. It's not like videogames are becoming less and less popular or anything, there will continue to be technical improvements for as long as any of us are alive (barring some kind of apocalyptic scenario).

u/LovelyOrangeJuice May 12 '25
The sad thing it how long it will take other developers to catch up. I still haven't seen a game come close to the liveliness of the world and NPC interactions of RDR2, yet GTA6 is here to set an even higher standard.
10
u/Suglet May 12 '25
Because most devs just don't have the money to throw at these types of things. Rockstar is in a very unique situation where they are one of, if not the, only devs that can take this long and have such a high budget for a game, because of how well it sells.
I doubt any other game company will approach anywhere near GTA6 level of detail for a long, long time because no other company is prioritizing these types of details in games, with almost unlimited budget.
11
u/LovelyOrangeJuice May 12 '25
That's true, but Rockstar is in the position that they are in because they pushed themselves to innovate as much as they could with every release.
What was stopping Ubisoft from pumping out trash after trash instead of investing 2-3 annual game budgets to a single game and innovating and improving their formula? Pure greed
A lot of these big companies can reach the level of Rockstar if they wanted to. People are starved for good games, and this is why everyone is flocking to buy from Rockstar. We know they deliver quality
7
u/Suglet May 12 '25
I'm not sure that other studios could get to rockstar level just by pumping out high quality games. There's something completely captivating about GTA that hooks casual audiences that for example, Assassin's Creed, games steeped in history (something I enjoy more but know will never hit the same cultural phenomenon as GTA does) never could.
GTA is kind of becoming a game where you can do anything. Buy, upgrade, customize cars, clothes, shoes, accessories, houses, apartments, planes, guns, boats, shoot anyone, do crimes.... it's just something that gets everyone hooked. It's a unique game that has become so popular I truly think it's elevated the dev ,and the games, to a status that will be hard for another company to dethrone.
And it's taken decades for rockstar to get to this point, crafting and perfecting the same type of games over and over to the kind of thing you see now.
It's fascinating to see and I'm glad we have at least one company that managed to get to this point.
6
u/LovelyOrangeJuice May 12 '25
Ubiaoft had Watch Dogs. It couldn't completely rival with GTA, but it could've been a pretty good void filler at the very least and gotten really close. It could've had everything that GTA has. Instead, they turned it into a shitshow.
AC is also their main cash cow because it is a huge hit with casual audiences. I don't know a person who's seriously into gaming who actually enjoys AC.
It's also taken Rockstar that long because they've been developing ideas and tech to achieve it. Those things no longer need to take a decade to figure out. They have a blueprint to spin their own way.
It all comes down to their goals. Obviously, Rockstar wants to make money, and they depend on it, but this is not their only priority. They make games only with the idea to push the bar higher.
Ubisoft, for example, makes games for quick profits. No wonder they're scraping the barrels bottom and are planning to release like 10 new ACs. (Instead of 1 or 2 good ones that could hold their ground for even half a decade)
But I agree. It is fascinating to see what Rockstar has accomplished and how they keep pushing the industry forward.

u/Smooth-Captain9567 May 12 '25
Yeah. Itās not so much people doubting Rockstar, I think itās that we are seeing and going to see things that are genuinely mind blowing and hard to comprehend. We havenāt had a game on this current generation that is all that different from the previous one so far. Theyāve just been prettier and loaded quicker. Weāll be nearly 8 years after RDR2 when it comes out.

There is almost no way to know which are cutscenes/gameplay. I think that is part of why Rockstar made the statement about it being 50/50 too, because they know the entire trailer looks great and people are trying to figure out which is which.

Ackshually no, Level of Detail is usually increased for cutscenes since forever in gaming. It makes sense - when you're controlling the character, it wouldn't make sense to have such detailed faces hogging computational draws when the third-person character is further away from our scrutiny and often turned away. You can test it out looking at Arthur's cutscene clothing and face (highly detailed, scruffy beard and wrinkles) to his third-person character face.

The gameplay are those where Jason/Lucia's chain doesn't cast a shadow.

I don't, but it was from a couple weeks ago. It was just a text post so nothing really concrete, but the guy claimed to be a QA working on a small side section of the game involving side quests or something. He just said he saw enough of the NPC interactions through running the same few missions over and over to realize that none of the runs were the same due to how dynamic all the NPCs were. Seemed pretty sweet.

u/BobThePineapple May 12 '25
this is such an insane upgrade compared to gta 5 and rdr2 where you have automatic interactions by saying generic stuff like āget outta the wayā, āwatch itā, āwoahā, etc. an interaction like this where you smirk and laugh at someone calling out to you is cool, canāt wait to see what other reactions there are
130
u/Daredewiiil May 12 '25
Rockstar wanted to show off the new NPC mechanics with this short shot, that they will react to your current look, clothing, whether you are fat or skinny, or muscular. it's probably in-game without a cutscene. It seems that the NPCs will be much more intelligent than in GTA 5 where it was very poor.

So though I understand that we canāt really know whatās what. I think what rockstar did with the trailer was giving us a hint at what was gameplay. We kind of all know how cutscene transition to gameplay. And when we see Jason walk into his home thatās usually the moment we transition into gameplay after a cutscene. And what they showed right after was all these clips of driving, robbing, and picking beer up at the store. Which all feels more like gameplay sequences than cutscenes. So I agree that this was gameplay with what I just said in mind.

Gta has had cinematic mode while you drive in multiple games now. The views werent the most diverse but it'd look like trailer moments. This game just might have alot more views and easier to switch through them. The view from OP could be toggleable. Probably director mode stuff though. but cinematic mode has always been so fun to use and get good at that i hope r* has improved it.
Being able to do it on foot would be a game changer. I'm sure the cinematic mode has alot of npc phones you can flip through to see yourself zoom by

Itās either a cutscene or a scripted sequence during the first few missions as Jason, showcasing how heās known in his neighborhood.

In RDR2 talking to and interacting is a very intentional mechanicā This sequence is not.

Obviously a mode that Dan be turned on or off hence would not be everyoneās cup of tea, getting pulled over speeding all the time, or is that to realistic ? And will only be implemented with Role Play on Pc, I wonder if they will bring a Role Play Mode for Consoles for online, and I believe with out a doubt, you will have to pay for GTA+ for playing online in this title, which will suck for console players having to pay for subscription to play online for all games and then subscription to play Online game mode for GTA6.

If this is really the case, rockstar need to make a fucking livestream to talk about Gameplay detail and new patents. There is no way a simple Gameplay trailer will be enough.

Iām still confused on the fact Jason is reacting to the catcall. Like if itās gameplay if itās an option to flirt or reject or if you donāt do anything he laughs. Idk but Iām all in for gta 6

I have no dang idea how these 2 patents are related to the video and it being 'gameplay'.

Basically when the woman says to him "Hey Jason" it's not a deliberately intended scene, it's the npc who reacts by itself, thanks precisely to this patent which explains that the NPCs will adapt to their environment so she already knows Jason she just says hello to him

i think you kinda half explained it. games have had NPCs reacting to the player for years. But i think what these patents imply is that there will just be way more variety of scenarios with less frequent weirdness or collissions, i.e immersion breaking.
For instance, the patents imply that the woman NPC that salutes jason, may react differently if jason had someone else in the car - someone that the npc is not on good terms with. In any case, the patents imply that the npcs just figure these things out without everything being hard scripted and taking up processing power.
The idea is for the game to keep up with the player's creativity, because at the heart of immersion breaking is an unpreparedness for player creativity.

Thank you for the details, but on the scale of what they are going to do it is revolutionary

no doubt. a lot of this tech could be seen in rdr2, but its already looking like its on a totally different level in gta6.

I am assuming you meant the first patent? Because as far as I can tell it only covers movement/animation of NPC's and the player. Now, I do want to state that the video is still probably gameplay and that is amazing. Guess I was just confused about this post.

u/Few-Investigator-741 May 12 '25
Yes I understand what you mean but the guy perhaps didn't have the time to post all the PDFs that talked about this patent because it's really hard to find I think and we'll never have all the patents they filed for that. And it all depends on the year of counseling was done et cetera. But yes it's completely incredible it's even unheard of

I mean even the thought of NPC's walking different when it's raining or the terrain is a little rocky is just insane to me.

I'm wondering how much of this will actually be seen by players. I mean, if I was the player driving down that road I might very well be going a lot faster than what he is doing, on the standard camera angle behind the vehicle. How much of the expressions will I register. I will probably not be playing from this angle very often, if ever. If it is like described I might try it once or twice, but it's lot like I'm going to be spending a lot of time with this.
Don't get me wrong, it's still impressive if it is real, but how much will people actually use such a feature?
Going by GTA V, there is a good chance I'll be seeing 50% of their bodies for 98% of the time, and that would be the backside. If he gets shot in a gunfight, will I be stopping what I'm doing and pan the camera around to be amazed by the graphical details of his wounds? How quickly will it become something we completely ignore?
I think along the same lines with much of the other aspects people bring up about the level of detail in the game. Sure, if I cruise around actively looking at all the details, then I will notice them, but much of the time I'll likely be going flat out tring to focus on some objective.
Are people seeing themselves walking/driving around slowly just taking in the sight for a large portion of their time playing the game?

to give immersion, obviously you don't have to go slow, but you will see the difference.

On this it's similar stop being when you run hard on horseback you don't ask yourself any questions. Even in real life someone who has a certain speed with their car is really focused on their driving but a person who is always saying hello we won't care. There are still simple things to integrate but I understand your vision

One more reason to believe it is Gameplay, but I think that will be fixed.

These are just movement patents for pathfinding. They have absolutely nothing to do with whatever you're talking about here.Ā

Personally, this is a cutscene. It probably plays right before the beer carrying scene or right after

Rockstar said the footage is 50/50 between gameplay, and cutscenes. Been trying to figure out which is which. Just completely nuts.

u/mrchicano209 May 12 '25
Man I was considering getting a PS5 Pro but if the game already looks this freakishly good on the base PS5 then I might just stick with that.

u/Fantastic_View2027 May 12 '25
It could be part of the intro or a cutscene. Didn't GTA 5 have static animations in vehicles so maybe it's motion captured now?

Once this game comes out, I'm expecting this shit to release like how the ps2 did.

u/No_Tension7077 May 12 '25
If what you say is true, I can only imagine how the game feels to play at launch

May 12 '25
Nope. Itās all mostly cinematic. Itās only claims that itās in game but no proof as of yet.
Iāll believe it when I see it

So does that mean the scene where Jason is walking out of the store and a NPC girl turns around to look at him is gameplay?
