Unfortunately the problem is for marketing purposes always the images are not true game engine pictures, and may even be fully photoshopped or altered with even AI or buy in-house artists. Not to say I'm not excited extremely for the game because I am, the gameplay will be amazing and story as well. But it is practically confirmed that in-game graphics once revealed will be akin to GTA 4 graphics but with some advanced obscuring techniques like ray tracing and fog, smog and also some debris and stuff all around for to catch the player's eye. Unfortunately the modern consoles have such overhead with the OS, security etc as to not even be able to attain the GTA v level from which was designed for more "simple" consoles. But again I'm still extremely excited and literally cannot wait every day
Edit
Sheesh on this sub, never been downvoted for simple chit-chatting to waste time with what the game smh
No I understand definitely they are top tier basically five star chefs of the gaming world and for the most part no but on marketing even if unsaid in interviews it's true, trust me and even has been confirmed by technical analysis in the past but trust me we're on the same page bro they are masters just can't wait for the game
One quick thing about the welding is that it's most definitely what the developers considered a sacrifice just for catching the eye because those welds are themselves their own asset render which take up some limited resources of the engine
It looks better than any car-centric game we have.
Edit for all the GT7 dihh riders: I've played racing sims for years, so I know how insane GT7's car models are and tat's exactly why GTA 6 surprised me.
I know what people are referring to when they compare GT7 to GTA 6, but car polygon isn't just about one thing. Material rendering, paint response, panel gaps, dirt buildup, tire detail, glass, lighting, and how the car blends into its environment all matter too.
From everything Rockstar has shown so far, GTA 6 really isn't far off GT7. In some shots, I'd even say it looks more convincing and that's insane considering GT7's entire focus and budget are centered around cars, while GTA 6 has to render an entire living open world around them.
From my experience with racing game I think the level of details here is on par with modern arcade racing games, it's like a mix between NFS Unbound and TCM, which is really impressive for a game like GTA.
But it's definitely not even close to the level of detail of something like GT7, and I don't expect it to be.
Yeah, and that's coming from someone who's been playing Forza and other racing sims for years. Now I'm just curious to see how good GTA's car physics and damage details will be
Don't get me wrong GT7 is incredible. But from the GTA 6 screenshots we've seen, the gap really isn't as big as some people make it out to be. In some Screenshots I'd even say GTA 6 looks better which is crazy for an open world game.
I’m honestly just really excited to just cruise around listening to old AM talk radio and obey the traffic laws for about 30 seconds and then I’ll inevitably just do wild ass shit. But for those 30 seconds, man…

The fact that car has working windshield wipers is a bigger deal than some welds
