You have my attention
I'm dubious any time a developer says this, but if anyone can deliver on the claim, it's Rockstar.
My concern is less about visuals, however, and more about how they intend to monetize the game.
I don't get why anyone was doubting this in the first place.
For literally every game they've released in the past two decades the final game looks 98% like the first trailer they released nearly two years prior.
GTA IV looked just like the first trailer.
RDR 1
GTA V
RDR 2
It was definitely an impressive visual showcase, but my reaction was "I can hardly believe this is going to look this way on current gen consoles" not "this isn't gameplay so the actual game must look worse."
To be fair, it looked like a ps5 game that's about what I expect from massive budget AAA games
Yeah I didn't think what was shown looked all that groundbreaking for modern day games. It looked great , no doubt about that. But when you consider how good rdr2 looked and the original trailer that was released for that, it's not unreasonable to see these graphics as in game rendered cutscenes.
The quality of writing in that article is kind of bad. And there's so many ads. All to recap something said in a YouTube video. Which is really just a way to insert lots of links to other (bad?) articles on the site.
Are we really reading this stuff?
Press X to Doubt
I’m sure it’ll look good, I’m also sure it won’t look like pre-rendered trailers
The game looks great but it looks clearly doable in game. Knowing Rockstar’s past, I wouldn’t doubt that.
What is disappointing is that we get a female character, but of course it’s a beautiful lady everyone would want to go to bed with. They could put a better looking than average lady in the game, but why such a gorgeous lady!?
Or why not a normal looking lady like Nico Bellic, Michael, Trevor or Franklin?
Maybe they'll have a 40fps VRR mode like Spider-Man 2. I use that mode and it's the best of both worlds for me.
I mean, I believe it? It wasn't some graphical marvel, it looked like a game's graphics?
