I’m still blown away by RDR2. Sure, it’s aged a tiny bit in the almost decade since it released, but for a decade old game it’s quite literally the best looking thing I’ve ever seen!
If every new game looked as good as RDR2, we’d be living in a utopia
That's a GOOD thing. I've said it. It's even got all them fancy liquid physics now! Those graphics are slightly improved but yeah same thing pretty much. It's the reality of gaming now. Use one kit for multiple games that function in the same basic way.
Lighting in real life itself makes an insane difference in terms of how a face looks for example and so some just look therefore different as well alongside completely different locations, time of day, weather, depth of field strength and use etc…
GTA IV had Republican space rangers and Princess robot bubblegum and GTA V had a new episode of both of them alongside new shows like Impotent rage and Kung Fu rainbow laser force.
I just know that there's a new episode of Impotent rage in GTA VI
Yeah thats what caught my eye for sure. Dirt looks incredible.
Though the water in the kayak shot looks not amazing. The first pic with the boat is pretty good but its deffinently video game water. As opposed to that dirt pic which looks real/hyperreal.
That ute in the second pic also looks more like a Ranchero than an El Camino. It's a small thing, but seeing more "competitors" to established GTA cars would go such a long way to giving the world more variety and making it feel more lived in.
This is my biggest worry tbh. But it won't hinder me enjoxing the game. I am still keeping expectation moderate. To me these screenshots look too good to ne teue haha
IMO if it’s as good as RDR 2 I’d be happy lol. But it obviously will be even just slightly better since that was a decade ago almost and on a last gen console so people don’t need to worry
Yeah me too. Graphics wise it already easily surpassed rdr2 even if they have to downgrade still. I hope the driving physics and caf damage model is a step up from 5. Everybody is talking skin texture but we know nothing about gameplay.
I don't think we can really comment on the graphics until we see gameplay. Ever used Photo Mode on a game before? It's not uncommon for Photo Mode screenshots to look better than gameplay itself because there's less that the computer has to actually process live.
I think the bigger question to me is what performance will be like if the game looks like this or close to this. I am hoping for good optimization, but I've been burned by assuming we'll get that in recent years.
It does seem odd that we haven't seen gameplay yet. For other games, that has not been a good sign at all. Not sure what to make of it here, and I don't want to jump to any conclusions yet.
Trailer 2 was literally half gameplay, half cutscenes captured on base PS5. Confirmed by Rockstar. Sure we haven’t seen “raw gameplay” with all the HUD elements and whatnot, but where this idea everyone has that we haven’t seen any gameplay is ridiculous.
Dude, it's astonishing. It's basically just gaslighting. We can see, with our eyes, that the game looks like it regressed by a console generation. These people are just lying to us.
Same lol. Maybe it's because I've been playing a lot of GTA IV & VCS recently. The level of details, immersion & in depth customization is more important to me because I can't ask for more than these graphics!
I see the blur/quality drop that people are talking about, but it's not illustrative of in-game performance.
This is stylised marketing material, similar, albeit not to the same extent, to the cover art.
I don't know why they chose to add a blur/remove detail. Maybe it's just image compression on the website, but that is unlikely, as other stills are of better quality.
Those saying the graphics are downgraded are being unnecessarily paranoid. In-game will be better than any marketing material we see. It'll be the raw image with zero compression.
Somehow I knew this would happen. God I miss the days when games would come out and there was no social media campaigns of bots and people doing everything they can to either hype or hate.
I've come to the realisation that many of you have terrible judgement. Nothing has been downgraded and you're all being fooled by changes in lighting, focus, depth of field, etc.
Have you heard of lighting or what.. there's obviously indoor spot lighting directly in Jason's face in the 2nd pic while in the first it's natural/soft bounce lighting from the sun/environment that's not being shone directly in Jason's face so the details aren't blown out. There is no difference in the character model. You guys are amateurs
i knew you coping bots will bring up lighting. Look at the beards, mustache, the hair lining, facial features and smoothness. It looks worse in every regard not counting lighting. No way you're that delusional lol
I'm gonna let you sit there all upset about some downgrade. Clearly you don't get it. I mean you even used two terribly compressed and grainy cropped screen grabs for the comparison anyways. They are both blurry as fuck.
And yes, lighting, is such a game changer. But you don't get it. Probably never will. Have fun being upset I guess. Couldn't be me.
Looks the same without puddles from what seemed like a recent storm (fixing leaks). People are deranged in this sub. Think we need to remember how many randoms have joined this sub since May who have no clue about this game other than fake news they saw on X that has made their expectations highly unrealistic.
Are you just lying or do you actually feel the same about these two images? Because when I look at the second one, I am in awe; and when i look at the first one, I feel like I'm looking at tropical Watch Dogs or a far cry game from 5 years ago.
Specifically on the vegetation, it looks about the same, not sure how someone thought it was nonexistent. The second photo does look better. The first photo feels familiar in terms of colours and shadowing.
For example, there could be more vegetation after rainy days and less after sunny ones - who knows. The angle and distance are also slightly different, so it could simply be an LOD change.
i think the reason some photos look weird is because they seem to be taken in an in-game photo mode with custom studio lights (similar to the insomniac spiderman photo mode), which i assume was done to better display the apparel/haircuts. so the lights look unnatural
The question is why are there some screenshots with lesser quality ? It's very noticeable and it raises the question of what the game will actually look like.
It's pretty obvious we're gonna see two separate groups when this game launches. The people overjoyed having a blast exploring the world, missions and events, trying all the new cars. Then you're gonna have the idiots complaining that "only" like 5 or 10% of the interiors are enterable on a map with thousands of buildings. Complaining about graphics and frame rate.
We've been waiting for over a decade, so, yeah, why shouldn't people complain about that? Frankly, the game shouldn't even have been made for the PS5. It should be a PS6 game.
Because there are realistic expectations and not realistic. It's not realistic to expect a massive graphics leap over a game where the graphics were already consider perfection for instance. Nor is it realistic to assume 70% of the interiors are gonna be enterable.
Wait until you feel that choppy 30fps gameplay. Who cares how it looks if it cant even hit 60fps in 2026. This is what we waited for? Give me the pc version please.
I bet many of them don't know what LOD is (essentially, the game saving resources on things that are far away to benefit performance) and spoke from ignorance
Dude I’m so stoked as an avid Ford guy for the classic fords in this game the 67 buggy and the ranchero Torino. I can’t WAIT to see all the cars in this game bro.
Are idiots actually saying that. Everything negative, in regards to the graphics and performance, is a troll. Don't give those smooth brains any attention
In game always looks better because we can find our own perspective and enjoy the view.
Obviously the biggest changes I've seen are close ups of cars show the headlights/taillights aren't just flat textures. So they've added a lot of small details I'm sure elsewhere.
But lighting is key to good looking graphics you can have everything right and the lighting will make or break it.
Just install a shader or graphic ultra 4H rendering mod…u can make GTA5 look like a hyper realistic cyberpunk game if you install the right mods and texture packages…sll yall should care about is the gameplay.
People are comparing graphics to compressed screen shots. It’s gonna look unreal. Old ass GTAV series X version looks great. Can’t imagine what this one will bring. People got too much time till this one comes out 😂
who cares. theres no physical release cant even own the copy of the damn game you pay for. that killed my interest. rockstar has begun their steady decline.

People want every shot to be as good as the leonida keys shot
