isnt it crazy how visual fidelity has gotten so good that people are having difficulty knowing whether its real time or pre rendered? especially for a title like gta 6 where the scope of the game is much bigger than linear titles like tlou2, pushing graphics like this insane, i dont understand how rockstar keeps doing this, wizards over there i swear

[@edwardgarrity1754]

in 10 years let's hope game visuals will be indistinguishable from real life

[@jassykat]

It's easy to notice that it's rendered in-engine because the lighting isn't perfect, and many NPCs and cars don't cast accurate shadows. However, that doesn't mean it wasn't enhanced for the trailer. The cinematic depth of field and vehicle density seem to be done by hand just to make the game look good. Additionally, all the social media videos are prerendered.

[@QuackersLuv]

@@edwardgarrity1754 it will never get to that point it’s just not possible in anyway. There is no unsound technology to make it happen either. Kids like you need to be realistic with your expectations.

Gotta make that bread. Inflation making everything expensive af ya know

[@oneyplayes465]

To me, what makes a game impressive to me is the graphic representation on an artistic scale as oppose to a realistic scale. The most beautiful game that I have played is another R* game. Red Dead Redemption 2. The reason being is not because it has realistic graphics. It is its unique take on realism that won me. Like an Artist painting almost, Every part of that game oozed color theory. The scale of the sky box as it mirrors the landscape encapsulate appealing proportions. The use of light and shadow and the grit of the world made it feel surreal I have never screenshotted so much while playing a game. If R* aim on GTAIV follows what they did on RDR2 GTA will have that place won. It is games like RDR2 that stands the test of time because they are not aiming to be photoreal, they are showcasing that behind all the technical aspects, behind all the pixels, there are artists at work.

[@flamingosarerad9362]

After GTA 6 I would love for RS to use its framework for GTA 7 so there can be a quicker turnaround time. Not unlike the PS2 era. Their current model of waiting longer and longer between games doesn’t seem… Sustainable?

[@cr-nd8qh]

6 is the last one

[@Quack_attack_]

At this rate 6 will be the last 1 I get to play , I won't live long enough for 7

[@TheAnonLee]

I can imagine so many devs use fsr because it can be used on any system rather than just pcs with nvidia graphics cards meaning any one can use the feature. It doesn’t hurt it for need a game specific implementation either.

[@Platerpus7]

GTA trailers have always looked exactly like the gameplay. They don’t use cinematic cutscenes like many games.

[@balloonb0y677]

The do use cinematic cuts and maybe even pre renderd cut scenes. They just do exaggerate the graphics to look better.

[@JohnPrice-kz6gp]

@balloonb0y677 nope, watch all their trailers and you will see the game has the same graphics if not better than the trailer

[@waketp420]

​@balloonb0y677 I know I'm late, but RDR 2 overall looks better at release than in the promotional material. Especially some of the character models. R* has always only shown in engine/in game real time footage. From GTA 1 all the way up to now. They haven't given us a reason to doubt it's real time because they've only shown real time. Not only in GTA but in ALL their games since the beginning.

[@marcus3445]

Its very clear that Rockstar is focusing in artistry than the graphics fidelity. They aren't putting heavy things in the game just to show off, sacrificing the general fps in the process like those generic UE5 games normally does. they just make the graphics "good enough" to hold itself for a couple of years and than focus where it matters: gameplay, world simulation, physics, etc. I like that.

[@joenashrty5338]

The thing is you cant have alan wake 2 fidelity in an urban city with potentially npcs like rdr2 or even more advanced

[@marcus3445]

Exactly, so R* are not even trying. The game will look gorgeous because of the art design but "graphically" will just be a solid "good" for its time. The real impressive stuff will be the NPCs and simulation. The Trailer got me more excited because it showed that R* priorities when developing their games didn't change. They still seen to know what really matters.

[@balloonb0y677]

@@marcus3445 the art design just seems to be for more realistic and true to life graphics

[@erickennedy3594]

Do people realize its on console which are a cheaper simpler version to game and then complain they aren't pumping out ray traced 4k 60fps

[@Roach606]

The Answer is, 1080 is around 23% of 4K whilst 1440p is 35% of 4K AND FOR FUN, 4K is 26% of 8K

[@DarthDainese]

Watch York React’s, ex Rockstar dev, break down of the trailer, he says this is all in engine

[@j.a.n.e.n]

That guy was an animator, and he seems to know a lot about a game he didn't work on. His reactions are entertaining, but I wouldn't take his statements as fact.

[@KBTheHun]

I REALLY want 60FPS for RDR2 but native 4K at 30FPS does look amazing 🤩

[@Kapono5150]

I’m ready to see actual gameplay and I think Luke will be upset with FSR 3 bc it doesn’t bring any picture quality enhancements

[@scroogemcphuck]

If they can get it running at 30fps on the series S I don't see why they couldn't get a 60fps mode for the base consoles

[@assegai7055]

It's more of a cpu issue for gta

[@Djaermi]

First Rockstar announced the announcement of the trailer, and now you are analyzing an analysis of the trailer. Such meta.

[@ipointmistakes]

GTA VI will have an install size of 3 TB, and installation time will be around 2 days. Interiors will be so detailed, that it will take an hour to load all the data. Hairs will be so realistic that one mission will be to collect Lucia’s hair from a crime scene.

[@NkosanaMakhubele]

😂😂😅

[@agent_aquarius]

My favorite resolution method was used for "The Order 1886" , those black bars were genius, made the game more cinematic and reduces the amount of pixels on screen to increase resolution overall. Just ashamed the gameplay was mid at best, and not to mention short.

[@andrzejkucharski2425]

Where like 60% + ppl(steam statistic) use only 1080p where most of ppl do not buy special tv for that, they use tv 1080p or 4k but still locked at 30fps anyway. for me 1080p its fine

[@PoxyBear]

It's Rockstar, they only do in game trailers. Digital Foundry isn't Rockstar. I don't believe there will be a delay which is why they announced 2025. Had they announced 2024, there likely would have been a delay.

[@anony88]

I would like to see an attempt of at least 40fps. That would still feel quite a bit smoother than 30. I can see 60fps being done on pro consoles. Can't wait to see how a 4090 handles this.

[@jassykat]

There is a cool trick Rockstar does for their cities, the buildings are not real size. If you put your character some floors for comparison, you'll notice.

[@vitallink4830]

It would be cool if the amount of Taffic was dependent on the time of day.

[@robertkeane9393]

I think they themselves released the source code for 5 to delay 6 lol

[@potatoman2137]

no way a source code is way to valuable and plus they didn't even give a date for 6 just the YEAR it comes out and like what they revealed the year 2/3 weeks ago why would they turn around so quickly and say "oh no we need until 2026 and maybe beyond" it has to be a leak from a third party

[@osyrisRae]

Lol I like where ur head is at

[@simonrockstream]

HDR on RDR2 actually works nowdays, you need to change HDR mode from 'cinematic' to 'game' and tweak the two options to match your TV specs

It looks like they are just on their knees.

[@sibusiso2841]

It could be that series s fidelity is what's targeted for other console's performance mode

[@edwardgarrity1754]

60fps matters for a game like spider-man 2 where the gameplay mainly consists of the player swinging, flying and venom blasting through a forest of skyscrapers at 200mph but for a game about mugging people at gunpoint, driving around and walking through interiors i think 30fps will suffice..

[@brandonmclean58]

wow, that would be dissappointing if its only 30fps, playing at 30 fps makes me feel dizzy, Im still waiting for a rdr2 60 fps patch to finally be able to play it.

[@Devins-d7x]

4k is good but not a deal breaker this game will look amazing either way

[@joshuatealeaves]

nice joker reference at the end

[@Master_Psyper]

I really hope they take care in adding interactions with npc and npc programming. Comparatively, 5 was horrendous compared to 4, I’d like to bring that stuff back

[@wanghang6703]

They are adults in the mud pitt, just on their knees

[@Vieu23]

Bro what are you talking about lol Cyberpunk uses path-tracing, which is an EXTREMELY high end graphical process. You absolutely do not need a 3090 to get native 4k. Many games have native 4k on Series X and PS5. No not performance modes in most cases. But definitely in fidelity mode they do.

[@callofdutyfreak10123]

Love Digital Foundry’s old work, but their new stuff is so tainted by Nvidia that it’s like “huh?”

[@JonBonZombie]

i Hope the Trailer is Running on PC to piss off both SIdes

[@CharlesVanNoland]

It's not "Gowzhian Blur" it's "Gauss-ian", like "House-ian". Reminds me of when a bunch of tubers were saying "lin-near" for linear, instead of "linny-ur". Oh well.

[@ClearlyHunter]

The people fighting in the mud are definitely kids.

[@aaxx4291]

nope

[@InternetMouse]

In my honest opinion, Id be okay with rockstar games have a mode where you can pick 60fps. ( this is where the game will run very smooth, graphics will be good but you won't get that ray tracing and some foliage and finer details will be toned down here) and Fidelity ( this is where the graphics really shine the most on at 30fps, with ray Tracing and finer details, more foliage being amped up here) I would think rockstar games Definitely managed to get it running at 60fps, like everyone says. It's rockstar games, they managed to subvert people's expectations here. But its not the end of world for it to be 30fps but I would much rather have a 60fps mode. That's just my 2 cents here. ♥ 🐀

[@tacticalcircumvention2889]

Luke,aren't you one of those guys that complains about not having 60fps? I'm almost positive you've used this as a point of critique in things like elden ring.

[@Jonatan606]

Elden Ring also had massive stuttering issues on top of 30 fps

[@sp7186]

With the graphics/npc counts/textures etc 30 fps is fine, lot of games with shit graphics that run only on 30 but have no reason other than devs can't optimize is the problem.

[@jrrocha532]

Yea he has like there’s a standard but he’s openly said he doesn’t mind 30 fps and doesn’t think it’s as terrible as everyone makes it seem multiple times

[@Ta11ys]

This is why I’ll wait for pc. I want to experience this game at it best not 30fps

[@John-996]

Elden Ring does not look amazing so not having 60 is an issue. Plus souls games need a high frame rate as they are all about timing.

[@noamias4897]

My guess is that it’ll be 1440p upscaled to 4k at 30fps and a 1080p 60fps option that might be upscaled to 1440p. Shame for me personally it’s not coming to PC at launch because I can usually upscale 1440p to 4k at 60fps. But no matter what the game will be amazing and look awesome

[@bigiron1990]

Merry Christmas!

[@RiderZer0]

Would be kind of funny if they finally added kids, but to discourage people from going on shooting rampages on them, if you kill a kid you get 7 stars and God smites you with lightning. It would be hilariously goofy.

[@zeroDOLLARg-Ro]

Why was Talos principal 2 not on the list? The game needs to be played by everyone once before they die.

[@agent_aquarius]

As a console gamer, console gamers need to understand that you either want to focus on resolution or performance. You cant have it both ways, you can only choose one, unles you own a best of pc that can run Ultra settings.

[@Roach606]

The pixel count could be influenced by compression

[@Nitroh-]

For me, I only play games at 1080p anyway, we NEED native 60 frames at 1080p at the very least. Give us options for fidelity and performance mode, Starfield got a fuck ton of backlash for the game only running in 30 fps, I'm sorry to say but for consoles that is unnacceptable in my opinion, especially if this game does release in 2025.. We are meant to be beyond forced 30. 1440p or 4k 30 frames sure, but 1080p 60 is a MUST.

[@bdubberz]

This is SUPER critiquey. You gotta remember it’s at least 16 months away, things will change. RDR2 also had big changes from its first reveal trailer.

[@SonoranOrigin]

I don't know how much I'd be able to enjoy playing video games if I analyzed every pixel like that trio. I get that that's probably the purpose if the channel, but damn. I feel like over-analyzing everything takes away the joy of playing.

Temper your expectations. The game will most likely run at 1440p 30fps, may be even 1080p if extensive ray tracing effects are used. Ray tracing is really heavy on the cpu and with all the npcs, physics and simulations happening in the open world ,60 fps is a pipe dream. You are grossly overestimating the capabilities of these consoles.

[@k.23_02]

You need to temper your expectations because I can already tell you're going to be massively disappointed. The only console that will probably run this game at native 4K will be the PS5 Pro and it will still be 30fps just like RDR2 was on Xbox One X. The regular PS5 and Series X will likely be running at 1440p or 1440p upscaled to 4K at 30 fps. Consoles won't run GTA 6 at 60 FPS until Rockstar releases the PS6 and next gen Xbox version of GTA 6.
