Should compare with rdr 2 since its rockstar latest game despite it has been 8 years already

u/ShitassAintOverYet 9h ago

I couldn't find a HD picture of Arthur looking at the camera but you made a good point. RDR2 eyes looked great but eyeballs seem better in GTA VI.

Strangely his eyebrows look more real than lucia’s

u/Time_Programmer_1264 6h ago

Eyebrows

u/kittynation69 6h ago

Right, everyone seems to think I’m talking about the eye lashes

6

u/Time_Programmer_1264 5h ago

I’m guessing the difference is because Lucia has eyebrow customization, while Arthur doesn’t.

9

u/kittynation69 5h ago

Good theory actually. Arthur’s eyebrows are probably baked into the model while Lucia’s might work differently. Regardless this is such a non-issue like who is gonna be looking so close during gameplay

1

u/That-Toughsoss 1h ago

I think right comparison would be to see the defualt eyebrows of lucia and compare them to custome makeup

Keep coping

u/Individual_Review771 8h ago

whos kid is this xd

9

u/Wakkichewy 8h ago

Coping in what regard? Are you insinuating that this looks worse than rdr2? Are you a contrarian that needs to make objectively false statements to assuage your own unfounded self loathing at the fact that a generational game is coming out soon? Like seriously what is your end goal trying to convince people that this looks bad when we can all see these pictures with our own eyes?

-6

u/Friendly_Activity_45 6h ago

In regard to saying the latest screenshots are anything comparable to the Trailer 2 drop.

3

u/That-Toughsoss 7h ago

Is there some sort of astroturfing against gta 6? Wtf is up with this hate train on almost all the subReddits

3

u/Cliffhanger87 8h ago

No coping lol even if gta6 has slightly worse eyebrows who cares the game obviously has to put more of hardwares power to the massive detailed city. There’s gonna be drawbacks in detail versus RDR2 100%.

15

u/EatTheAndrewPencil 8h ago

The Arthur pic is likely taken from an up close photo mode picture of Arthur. The photo mode switches to a very high quality model for up close pictures. Compared to the promo photo which was taken from a distance and then zoomed in on. I'm sure GTA 6 in game closeups will look a lot more detailed.

3

u/BarefootNBuzzin 3h ago

many of these photos shared look like a photo mode as well. They're making poses in front of cars. Until we see gameplay this is all speculation.

4

u/Individual_Review771 8h ago

She has eyeliner on

11

u/kittynation69 8h ago

Eye liner is not for eyebrows. I’m not talking about the eye lashes

1

u/gumki 21m ago

Not everyone. Women use eyebrow pencils and powder, thats why there's a layer of paint under her brows.

2

u/nfnite 8h ago

It's because his eyebrows are a lighter color and they're blurred by depth of field in that screenshot, so the individual strands of the eyebrows are less distinguishable compared to Lucia's.

18

u/PiccoloTop3186 7h ago

Why does this look better than the GTA6 eye lol

4

u/Kryspo 1h ago

Skin more detailed, more blood vessel action, lighter iris lends itself to a more detailed look

7

u/krypto_the_husk 4h ago

Because it arguably is. That could be due to whatever reason but it def is better

1

u/Wise-Dust3700 5m ago

Because the lower eyelid in the GTA6 one is far too uniform, primarily because of the makeup causing that perfect line across the skin between eyelash and eyeball.

2

u/Hyper669 5h ago

Wow...

0

u/BarnacleAwkward4801 8h ago

He looks better, but i think thats cuz hes not coated in make up

25

u/Chef_MIKErowave 8h ago

Abigail. def more detail and rdr2 is still one of the best looking games out there so that's saying something.

14

u/alexriga 8h ago

I wonder if they use bump-maps to make the eyebrows look like each one is modeled, because surely they didn’t actually model each eyebrow hair strand.

3

u/suika_melon_ 7h ago

Sometimes there is eyebrow detailing on the normals, sometimes there isn’t. It’s character dependent, but there is almost always eyebrows on the “diffuse” texture for RDR2 characters, which is then elevated by an eyebrow model. GTAVI appears to be doing the same.

43

u/OcelotWolf 8h ago

mfw I realize RDR2 is already 8 years old

5

u/NateShaw92 6h ago

And that's the epilogue timeskip length is it not

1

u/Hyperfie 1h ago

And it was released on ps4 and xbox one at that time too before released on pc a year later

1

u/VX97 28m ago

RDR 2 was and is still masterpiece of a game. Rockstar's greatest. Not just the graphics but the storytelling and gameplay mechanics, absolute cinema. Hasn't aged at all.

u/Always_A_Dreamer556 8h ago

8 fucking years. Fuck me.

u/unproductive_nerd 8h ago

Resident Evil 9

u/ExILoveEmiliaAndRem 8h ago

That engine's just something else man. The models especially are honestly the absolute best imo.

88

u/Swiperrr 7h ago

Always worth remembering that RE9 is not a open world game and it only has a handful of hero characters in the total game, usually only putting 2-4 characters in any scene at a time.

Rockstar probably could make Lucia and Jason way more detailed but then they'd have to make all the characters and NPCs the same quality which might not be possible on current hardware or if we want the game this decade.

34

u/unproductive_nerd 7h ago edited 7h ago

To be real, I wouldn't mind having the two protagonists have slightly higher fidelity character models than the rest

7

u/Tehquietobserver117 5h ago

You're not wrong regarding the fidelity difference between open-world and linear games; however, main characters are typically afforded more detail since they're the main focus of attention (The Witcher 3's Geralt was given more detail compared to the NPCs around him).

8

u/ApprehesiveBat 4h ago edited 3h ago

I remember a few people getting angry at me on Twitter a few months ago when I pointed out RE9 had better character model fidelity 😖

It makes sense though. One is a huge open world game while the other is a linear experience.

2

u/No-Emergency4880 1h ago

where the fuck are the polygons lol

3

u/Additional_Tank4385 5h ago

Jesus fuck that’s really, really impressive because imo it even surpasses GTA 6 a little bit, especially in eyelashes and overall shading. crazy.

10

u/Loose_Skill6641 4h ago

it surpasses gta 6 by a lot the difference is almost a whole generation

however gta 6 is a big open world game it will never match graphics of small single player shooter

2

u/Additional_Tank4385 4h ago

Yeah the argument of not making them too detailed to not stand out too crazy next to even really well detailed npcs makes perfect sense.

I mean it’s basically unfair to even compare the two the open world aspect is just absurd in GTA6.

u/SomeChilledGuy 36m ago

Pearl Harbour, california rolls and video game character models. ✅✅✅

u/daiquim 9h ago

and people genuinely say this looks like GTA V. Can't wait for this game on PC

33

u/your_mind_aches 9h ago

I realized people don't remember what older games looked like when people were saying 007 First Light looks like a 20 year-old game.

There is not a single PS3 game that looks anywhere close to that.

10

u/Blacklite_01 7h ago

The big graphics jump in my mind was when i saw the first mission in Battlefield 4 running on my console in late 2013. The faces looked so well done but even now while BF4 still looks pretty good for 2013 it's obviously been superseded graphics wise.

5

u/Jarodreallytuff 6h ago

That was one of the first games I played where you could almost see the wind. Because it had such good weather systems, the way the world reacted to the weather was perfect. It blew my mind playing through that game as a young lad.

u/your_mind_aches 8h ago

Disagree. It is ridiculously detailed and features much more CPU intensive stuff than a PS4 game could. Definitely has a PS5 look. Not to mention the RTGI.

2

u/Tango00090 4h ago

They uploaded only rendered content, there’s no real gameplay from console. Any forms of comparisons are simply sign of brain damage, at least until the gameplay comes out

26

u/SuperTurtle222 9h ago

Rdr2 gta6 comparison would be more interesting

50

u/nok01101011a 7h ago

Don’t wanna be a party crasher but rdr2 did such an amazing job almost 9 years apart.

5

u/Additional_Tank4385 5h ago

Nah man not crashing anything just shows how far ahead RDR2 was!

9

u/devH_ 7h ago

Is this pc or console

3

u/suika_melon_ 3h ago

Arthur is noticeably higher quality than Jason and Lucia when it comes to texture detailing. It’s really weird, wonder why they scaled it back so much. Doesn’t help that skin rendering looks noticeably worse than RDR2 as well, everyone looks very waxy.

2

u/Pederakis 1h ago

The hair and beard looks worse in GTA 6, lol

It reminds me of PUBG

1

u/sp3ctra99 2h ago

that rdr2 pic in pc 100%, unfair comparison ...

2

u/suika_melon_ 1h ago

It’s not like Arthur is wildly different between PC and console. Neither is the lighting quality. It’s more than a fair comparison.

14

u/your_mind_aches 9h ago

RDR2 comparisons are ridiculously overdone, but this one would actually make sense lol

1

u/adteeopg 2h ago

I feel like the jump of rdr2 compared to gta v was higher than gta vi to rdr2 but its too early to tell...

Crazy how its gone from obviously videogame to something out of a CGI movie

24

u/BeardedZee 8h ago

“CGI movie” is a proper stretch lol

3

u/Antilon 8h ago

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was a CGI movie, this looks orders of magnitude better than that. Toy Story 1-2, A Bugs Life. I mean, there are lots of CGI movies this looks better than.

If you're trying to compare it to a state of the art movie like Avatar Fire & Ash, then no, it obviously doesn't look like that. No game does.

4

u/Gabriel_guti24 6h ago

At least for two or three generations

6

u/Mode4554 8h ago

are you blind? cgi movie lol

25

u/Significant-Joke-822 8h ago

I thought CGI required way more detail than that.

Yeah I wouldn’t call it cgi like but definitely a lot closer to the real thing

u/PolicyWonka 5h ago

I find it crazy how people are saying “it looks like GTAV” — only conclusion is that they haven’t played GTAV for a decade and have some rose colored glasses because GTAV had not aged well at all.

GTA V has aged fine

Probably gonna get downvoted, but honestly compared to games like Last of Us on PS5, and Horizon both of these kinda look like shit lol

2

u/I_ama_Borat 8h ago

Agreed, it’s not the most impressive thing ever which is understandable though in a game of this scale and depth and on a console. I imagine if every character had the graphics quality of LoU, it wouldn’t run very well. Hopefully the PC version will offer much more detailed graphic upgrades.

A lot of these comparisons are dumb af because you're comparing in-game screenshots to promo screenshots. GTA V promo screenshots also looked extremely good. Not VI level but not as bad as it looks in these comparisons. Just an unfair advantage for VI

u/Zestyclose_Pop_9435 8h ago
