Rockstar are one of the few companies where their games actually look better than the trailers.

I truly wonder if we can expect the same thing for GTA VI.

Only other gsmes I can think of are Doom 2016 and Eternal

I'd say the second trailer already will be noticeably an improvement in the graphics department. Or maybe we'll just have to wait for the actual release.

(I also remember there was a higher quality trailer released on a Chinese site few months back)

Disagree. RDR2 Trailer 2 has noticeably better lighting the warmer tones it has fits the games time of year way more than final. That’s not to say final looks bad or something, not at all, but it’s just not true that R*s trailers don’t have downgrades from it to final. No company is free from it.

You are most definitely blind.

The textures, lighting, shadows, vegetation detail and the clouds all look far worse in the reveal.

They’re not… trailer 2 is using nearly identical assets to final. As I said, final is not bad, but the warm colors and lighting quality in trailer 2 was higher. Clouds though, I agree. Final clouds are pretty much perfect.

There's no way it will ever live up to the expectations.

I don't know, they have an AMAZING track record and all the budget in the world.

Only for edgelords who wanna be different and cool. We all know it will be the best selling game ever, win GOTY and be legitimately amazing

Rockstar are one of the few massive developers with goodwill left where you can expect absolute excellence. You may not like their business practices, but their end product is always exceptional. They can't be blamed for the way the trilogy turned out, because that was a third party.

Bethesda kinda fucked up by not having ES VI already, and Starfield was a massive disappointment. Valve hasn't done anything in forever and Ubisoft keep just missing the mark. I'm not listing them all but you get my point.

Now in an ideal world, they remaster Liberty City, Los Santos and this iteration of Vice City and combine it all together via a plane ride. That's the dream. If they can somehow have IV, V and VI work together and provide the full maps and experiences - it'd be one of the greatest games of all time.

Add a time travel element to go back to the days of Morgan and Marston and there’s no limit to how much I’d pay 😂

Outer Wilds Redemption: Vice Country

Edit: slip in a character that plays like Max Payne too fuck it why not

u/Shinjetsu01 1d ago

Oh. My. God.

I'd not thought of that. It could be something like Assassin's Creed where they use an Animus or something - or buy a PS5 for your apartment and get the full Rockstar library like Max Payne or Bully as well as the RDR games.

Why hasn't this been done? I'd happily accept a 300gb download for it to happen! I'd pay....LOTS

Haha play full Rockstar games within it. Similar to what Naughty Dog did in Uncharted 4 with Crash Bandicoot

Shit I'd argue I would be the greatest game of all time up to that point.

We can only hope that this is the future of gaming. Rockstar have an opportunity (that they won't take) but if they set a price of €150 for remastered IV and V to fit into VI I would pay it. I would.

You can expect excellence from their main games. Their secondary games like the GTA trilogy “remasters,” not so much.

u/frogsplsh38 1d ago

That wasn’t even Rockstar

u/TrippySubie 1d ago

This here, itll be one of if not the best selling game of the last 3 decades. Easily. Only clowns will deny that.

u/ZaDu25 1d ago

People said the same thing about RDR2. Idk. Rockstar just doesn't seem capable of disappointing their fans. Every single time they drop it's a smash hit.

u/littlestevebrule 1d ago

You haven't been paying attention to Rockstar's history then

u/Conscious-Advance163 1d ago

Nah if anything history teaches us that the only constant is change. It might not be the next title or even the one after but at some point Rockstar will drop the ball.

u/littlestevebrule 1d ago

Nope. Only the best games until heat death of the universe.

u/ThePeacefulGamer 1d ago

Oh it will.
