Insane step up in visuals, first person mode sort of confirmed?
Either way, a visual feast for sure. Going to be so pretty running at 30FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles!!
That ass is too fat.
Graphically looks insane. Didn't see much gameplay but we know what that's going to be like.
But ya as far as graphics go I have a hard time believing that's even on current gen consoles. It looks like it's running on a quad 5090 setup with a quantum computer CPU.
I wondered if I was just imagining things so I went on YouTube and dug up the old VC trailers.
Here's the old TV commercial
Notice how the old trailers actually showed gameplay. Shooting, driving etc... This trailer is almost 3 times as long and barely shows any of that. It's mostly cutscenes and story focused. This is why I no longer care for rockstar. Their philosophy has shifted from gameplay to trying to make movies. I cant get hyped for this because I know it's going to be a heavily scripted experience that lacks the freedom of the ps2 trilogy. You'll be driving from mission to mission with a few minutes of dialogue/cinematics before you actually start the mission, which will be a heavily scripted event anyway with only one possible outcome.
Would love to be proven wrong but going by their game design for the past 20 years, I doubt anything will change.

Rockstar had cutscenes only trailers since GTA 4.
Realistically, what does showing gameplay do for Rockstar anyway? Everyone knows the formula by now.
Supposedly running on a PS5, I am skeptical but it's such a massive leap that it's almost hard to believe. Whatever wizadry that was used to concoct this visual showcase is insane. I really hope the performance is there for the day one console gamers too.
Also makes me wonder what enhancements we'll see for PC or Pro level consoles.
Rockstar's game design is wildly outdated anyway. The linearity of their single player experiences hasn't changed ever. There's no room to be creative or for outside the box thinking and I don't expect that to change here either.
It's my huge issue with games like Red Dead and GTA, these fascinating sandboxes are actually incredibly limited spaces with no room for expression other than gunning down pedestrians.

Agreed with these points. For all their claims to be kings of open world gameplay, the way with which you engage in missions is extremely limited. I mean shit, can't they at least break the linearity of their story by having it go on multiple different paths if you refuse to do certain missions? But no, every mission in the game has to be finished to advance the story with no variation.Rockstar's game design is wildly outdated anyway.

Irs crazy remembering when those graphics blew us away. It was like holy shit video games can't get better.
I also miss the those old GTA trailers with the songs in them.
GTA V was my favourite with Skeletons
Yo they can show lady booty in games again now we're back baby

Nice to see that their art team is as talented as ever, but if it handles like every other Rockstar game it's an easy pass for me. Rockstar and Naughty Dog have gotten away with mediocre third person shooting mechanics for far too long.
I mean hasn't that always been the case for Rockstar Games? At least for GTA 3 onwards lol You can never go off the beaten path in story missions or else you fail
