So here’s an alternative for people who don’t like Youtube
To preface, I’m not a GTA player at all, but I felt confused coming out of watching this. Like, It looks really good, but something about how canned the gameplay itself was, threw me off. It was too clean, like, throw in a couple of missed shots with the guns at least. Have the player not predict where every enemy is. I wanted to see ACTUAL gameplay, not hyper scripted, perfected gameplay. I know this is the same with a lot of preview gameplay, it might be in engine, but it doesn’t give me a real sense of what it would look like in my hands. It always gives me a vibe of what are they trying to hide. My guess in this case is the lower than expected frame rates. Camera movements felt slow and deliberate, a common way to hide frame drops.
Otherwise I think there are a lot of systems going on, and this is going to be one hell of a sandbox game, but I want to see the real thing before even considering playing it.
Consistently uninterested in game previews built by companies selling the games. I never find them to be accurate representations of gameplay.
For me GTA peaked with the originals in 1997-1999 and had a nice little comeback in 2013. Hyperreality is not what I need in games…
Not to sound blasé but am I the only one who’s completely underwhelmed?
Gameplay seems pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. Graphics are really nice. The lead guys voice sounds so put on that I think I would be distracted the whole time.
yeah but considering all the other games other companies have been putting out during all this time from 2015, that are also open world, I honestly wonder what Rockstar has been doing all this time.
I too thought that it was very good looking, but other than that, nothing that we haven’t seen before… Perhaps just more of it.
I wonder what peoples reactions will be once they played it. I think GTA 6 will be a let down.
Bigger expectations = bigger disappointment
Thats true, and with people waiting for all these years expectations where high. I honestly wonder what they been doing all this time, meanwhile studios like hangar 13 released 4 mafia games in that time, ubisoft 3 watch dogs games, volition 2 saint rows games and gat out of hell and agents of mayhem, avalange 2 just caus4es, microsoft crackdown 3, cd projekt cyberpunk i mean really what has Rockstar been doing GTA-wise?
Collecting Shark Card sales profits?
lol I think so yeah. I mean looking at it I don’t see what is it, 12 years of work?
