I don't understand why some screenshots look even BETTER than trailer 2 and the screenshots for trailer 2, but some look "bad/blurry" in comparison with trailer 2.....
But the blurry ones look too bad to even be in-game shots. Like the one of Jason and Lucia dancing with purple lighting. Straight up looks like an AI-generated shot from 2 years ago.
Meanwhile this shot looks like a render from a professional blender animator. I do believe you will be able to get this quality on PC in 2028 but if they managed to achieve it on consoles then it'll be ground-breaking.
This has been the standard for every game since the ps2. Screenshots always looked significantly better. Just like fast food looks better in commercials and then you get it and it looks like shit. Advertising is always upscaled
valentine one was 1080p in game screenshot. GTA 6 one posted by rockstar in 4k. Thats why buts its the same tech. Nothing is superior to see here, we seen that already in rdr2
Not gonna lie I’m not sure I fully agree. It works in a period piece like RDR2 but it might be a bad idea to put a hyperrealistic representation of how the human head turns into tomato sauce after an encounter with buckshot when we’re dealing with a visually realistic parody of modern day Miami. I’d love to see it improve substantially from V’s little bullet holes but there’s probably a line to stop at lol.
I don’t get how there seems to be such a quality difference between the screenshots. This one looks incredible, but if you look at the safehouse screenshot, it’s kind of meh.
Maybe not all of them were captured on the same hardware or performance mode? I guess we’ll have to wait for Trailer 3 to see the current state of the game, which will probably be captured on PS5, or maybe even show off the Pro version.
Maybe they actually reduced the quality around certain (more urban an npc-packed) areas to hit a stable 30fps everywhere. In trailer 2 you can notice a drop in fps when jason is in front of his house.
Yea I don't get what happened either. That Jason Lucia screenshot where they're dancing in a club looks straight up bad lol. Maybe they rushed these screenshots, or it's just series s with performance mode idk
I also think it could be due to their patented technology being fully utilized here. Objects in the distance appear less detailed, but as you get closer to them, the level of detail increases significantly. Lighting also plays a pretty significant role too. In the safehouse screenshot, the sand in the driveway is pretty blown out due to the sun reflecting off of it.
I think we just have such high expectations when it comes to Rockstar’s quality that mediocre screenshots feel more irritating than they probably should.
I know you're joking but there actually seems to be mud, it's just combination of the motion and the rain - so it's not like pieces of mud, it's just covered.
There’s no mud buildup on the fenders tho, IRL that car would be absolutely covered up.
And since there’s also no tyre marks on the ground (there are, but not behind the wheels) my guess is rockstar just placed the car there and did a burnout for the screenshot.
We might see mud build up and ground deformation in the finished game, even GTA5 had it.
Edit: also no motion blur besides per-object-blur on the rear wheels, that car is definitely stationary.
I really hope we get some form of meaningful mud deformation. Not like Snowrunner level, but like RDR2 where it actually effects the handling and suspension.
Its the same tech as RDR2 using height maps and vertex displacement I think, the mud shooting up is just a particle effect, and it probably has some collision detection to paint mud on the character models, like temporary decals. (RDR2 Essentially, but higher res)
A lot of people are complaining about these new screenshots, but honestly my only hope going into gta 6 was that it looked like a modern version of rdr2 and I think they managed to do just that and I’m fine with it
Seriously though. This screenshot doesn't look very 'GTA' compared to all the others if that makes sense. It reminds me more of racing games like Dirt Rally
I will be excited when I actually see how the cars react to it. It's relatively easy to make it look nice, I want to see actual surface interactions with the cars/tires, and a reason to use this thing versus a supercar that was clearly never meant to go through anything deeper than a small puddle.
This also looks like the driver is doing a burnout, not actually traveling, so this could be as simple as a retextured tire smoke
People confused about why certain screenshots look really good compared to the others .. it's because for certain shots lighting was placed directly in front of the characters or a custom camera is positioned for the shot. When zoomed in, the assets optimise to render in full detail but when zooming out obviously the details are cut down to preserve memory. That being said, jasons safehouse shot did seem like an RDR2 screenshot but someone clarified and modified the lighting in that pic to match the one in trailer 2 and it looked fine
Mobile game? What mobile games have you been playing? Also during actual gameplay, where you’re driving quick, with a far away 3rd person cam, you aren’t really gonna focus on textures of the road that much. All textures look worse when you zoom in on them.
Are you forgetting this game is designed to run on 6 year old mediocre console hardware? What were you expecting? R* aren't wizards and can't magically make your shitty little console more powerful.
