GTA 6 Speculation & Discussion [Part 7] - The one with the announcement

It's worth noting that Trilogy DE still hasn't been released on either Steam or EGS. I'm sure that decision has other reasons behind it , but I won't be surprised if VI is R* Launcher exclusive for the first 6-12 months.

I think Epic is going to offer some big bucks for the game to be on their platforms, the kind of money Rockstar won't miss out on.

Sorry for asking but did someone debunk the male and female protagonist leaked pictures or not? Not the artwork but the faces of the characters. They were before the Bloomberg article I think. In case you don't remember, the male protagonist has a mustache and the girl has some long ear jewelry or whatever it is called, she looks really pretty like that actress Alexandra Echavarri. Also it looks like an updated version of the RAGE engine.

I don't remember any supposed in-game images of them, just some artwork that ex-R* artist Stephen Bliss had to delete.

You mean this "leaked" pic?

Why not? People have always wanted all the cities in one game/map. Doing this, even if it's just for Online, goes to achieve that. Besides, it's a larger world to play in and more content.

If the article from Jason is true, they're struggling to even include everything they want for the current map they're working on. Adding LS and bringing it up to par with the VI map would take another 4-5 years of dev time they could be spending on bringing something fresh to us instead.

Even if it's debunked, it does give you a taste of what Rockstar is really up to as we speak. GTA 6 will make RDR2 look old as hell

hello inte latest weeks when i steal cars from npc´s in gta online they say "f this im moving to Vice City" and i have been playing gta 5 and online since release but never heard anyone say this so it might be something that rockstar games added in the latest update as a hint i dunno..

damn the camera makes it look a bit different, unless it isn't the exact same render. Eyes/eyebrows look a bit different but seems to be from there yep. Well I do hope she's more feminine than the ALWAYS typical "bada$$" woman we see everywhere nowadays, my girlfriend wants her like that too, feminine, something like lara croft in the reboot games and then gets stronger to handle that criminal life of hers. We'll see. I don't have a problem with a strong one, but I want to see her turn into that. Girls aren't known much of a drug trafficker/bank robber criminal life if we look at it from a realistic perspective (I could be wrong on that).

this isn't new,  I remember it since 2013 it was in game. Like the towel at the beach some npcs have with "I LUV VC" or whatever. But well, look, maybe they did have a plan since then to make a game in Vice City again, that's quite possible.

You may or may not recall the discussions about the technical side behind GTAV's E&E of how it uses RDR2's graphics pipeline, SGA.

 

SGA is basically a physically based rendering graphics pipeline. It's an industry-standard for most AAA games nowadays. PBR is a set of rules to follow when making textures and materials and the point is to make them look good under any lighting condition. Albeit, GTAV would have probably looked much better if Rockstar went and remade all the textures.

 

What's new with E&E is that Rockstar's rendering pipeline supports ray-tracing to a limited extent (shadows & AO), but VI will most likely use it to the full extent.

expanded and enhanced baby

There is one thing to keep in mind though. The more realistic you go, the more "uncanney" the experience gets. If a game will become photoreal down to the tiniest detail, you'll start noticing the roughness of gameplay animations more (unless the developers went out of their way to make sure that animations are always smooth but that often hinders gameplay, so most avoid it).

Here's a gif from Stranglehold for example (yes I took it from Raycevic's video but it's the best example I could find):


In the first half of the gif, you can see a ragdoll glitch that's often common in games. In the second half, you can see how jerky the changes between animations are. That kind of jerkiness could've been acceptable in a 6th gen game, but already in 7th gen, it's incredibly jarring. Just imagine how weird and uncanney these animation issues would be in a perfectly photo-realistic game.

And that's not mentioning any disproportionate objects in games, or exaggerated physics, or simplified world logic. All of these things - your brain currently doesn't notice because no videogame is perfectly photoreal, but if they were, they would start to stand out seriously.

You don't need realism or fancy shaders or RTX to look good, you need good art direction to look good, something that the GTA games never struggled with.

Yea both the torturous droughts for GTA V and RDR2 started after their initial announcements but with GTAO and RDO keeping me occupied now, I'm just desperate for that initial VI announcement with a teaser trailer and confirmation of its location. R* can take however long they want after that

Wait till we get a short trailer or screenshot and then it's months before we get anything else, thats when the real pain begins.

I can already imagine some kid coming up in 5 years and asking "how old is this crap?" while talking about RDRII

That's probably how a lot of old timers feel when people say the old GTA games look like kids games

if this is how the female protag will look ingame..its miles and bounds above RDR2 in graphics. On an aside, who would do you think the male protagonist is? Based on the 2017 mocap leak, Im going to say Tim Neff. He could be the "Michael" of the game. We are used to a more mature criminal and Tim Neff could be a protag in his early 40s. Could also be a club owner.

It's not, look at her mouth

 

[Zapper]

Tim Neff is a stuntman, so I'd say there's next to no chances of him being one of the protagonists.

In Jorge Consejo's case, his character was listed as a featured role. That essentially means he'd be a minor character in the game, maybe in a stranger mission or a random event, if he is actually in the game at the end of the day.

His character could have a larger presence, but then again, that wouldn't be a featured role. I guess only time will tell.

Ryan Gosling, I thought this is clear
