How Different Will GTA 6 Really Be Compared to GTA 5? - Luke Reacts

[@timothypatch5080]

Saying Red dead 2 is derivative is insane, the actual attention to detail, and the fact it came out in 2018 and the only game that even comes close to looking as good is Alan Wake 2 which came out in 2023! People need to go back and play red dead 1 and see actually how different those 2 games are

[@courtneylavere]

The attention to detail was mostly on the graphics, not new gameplay and features. That was his point. Rockstar nails graphics and realism but they don’t push game mechanic boundaries so it didn’t deserve that award. The game was damn near exactly RDR1

[@timothypatch5080]

They feel really differnt movement of Arthur in Two, Shooting, hand to hand,Stealth kills, Dilaogue system, Horse riding, Ragdoll Physics,Side quests, Ecounters things like hunting and level of detail. RDR2 is more like simulator of the wild west and takes from movies like Hateful 8 and unforgiven. Red dead one is more Spaghetti western. Gamers have profoundly limited intelligence. I could understand saying something like this for spiderman2 or GOWR feel like DLC but RDR2 is a true sequel in terms of the Open world.

If it is closer to RDR2 than GTA V then it would already be an improvement.

[@jgunner94]

That dev said they don’t think it would be that big an upgrade like we seen from IV to V which I doubt. I didn’t see V as that big of an improvement in terms of the details, it seems like they had to cut things that were in IV cause of the hardware limitations. So if they can bring those details back and do more they can definitely trump that kind of jump they had there between those games.

2:40 no, it’s a testament to how far a brand/IP can carry a project to success. If any other studio did this everyone would say “laziest sequel ever”. Every criticism levied against Cockstar’s games would hit 100x harder but because you see the R* logo and the RDR/GTA logo you give it a pass. Most of it is just subconscious bias from the filters people have developed towards these games where no matter what it’ll feel better than what it actually is. Hype and cope on steroids. Funny because if you do get off the Kool-Aid their new games really don’t do much. They haven’t pushed the needle. And yeah you can still say “there no one else really doing this” it doesn’t justify them not innovating anymore. Again it’s the mindset of “these guys are the cool kids I wanna be a part of this club” that takes them so far.

Hot take, every game that is released that is a sequel to a previous game does not drastically change from game to game.... innovation in games on select features but mostly kept the same and you know why? It's because if it's to different, then fan of the game will not like it. Personally, I don't think I have ever played a sequel to a game and thought " man they just haven't innovated on every aspect of this game and its really just playing the first or second version." I don't think the former employee is wrong by saying it's not going to be must different, that makes sense TBH.

The only thing that can make it better for me is more freedom. Fancy NPC systems and stuff is fine but it’s just fluff. Like in GTA5 and RDR2 you can rob banks and trains and stuff which is great.. But when can you do that outside of main missions? I want to be able to do that stuff anytime.

[@chrisking4673]

Play online

[@SolidSnake240]

You can rob trains and stores outside of missions in RDR2. Banks are excluded cuz you basically rob every bank during the main story.

I’m worried story mode will be a shell of what GTA used to be, based on comments from both Rockstar and Take Two. But regardless, GTA Online 2 should be insane.

No way people move on from GTA 6 shortly after it releases.None of those games you mentioned will be able to compete with GTA 6 and if they do, it would mean GTA 6 turned out to be mid. I feel like you're underestimating what GTA 6 online could be if things work out

[@conker2185]

We dont expect it to be different just better

[@noamias4897]

While I agree with NakeyJakey's criticisms about Rockstar's mission designs RDR2 is still my GOAT because of its writing, immersion, realism, ambience and in depth gameplay systems. No other game has made me want to just walk around its world, hunt, pick herbs and flowers and read the in game texts like a real inhabitant of that world. And it does all that while living up to all my crazy expectations and providing the best narrative of any video game while being a crazy prequel

[@noamias4897]

I counted down the last 114 days before the release of RDR2 and was somehow still blown away by the game

[@REDA-SB]

You’ve got to be kidding my man. We all can agree here that you’re just spitting bs at this point. RDR2 isnt a generational leap over its predecessor?! The game is insane till this day. No game comes anywhere closes to its technical advancement. I’ve never seen attention to detail like this game. Even compared to GTA5 it’s still insanely advanced let alone RDR1. RDR1 was great for its time. Yes RDR2 will still play similar bcz first it’s the same engine just upgraded and second it’s still the same setting. You’re gonna be playing as a cowboy in a wildwest setting what else can they change besides crancking up it’s visuals and mechanics and details, and even the story is one of a kind. I’d say GOW Ragnarök did not have much of a change over GOW 2018. But you cannot say the same about RDR2 vs RDR1. That’s just nonesense. It should have won GOTY easily but we all know it’s crappy event anyways. However, I do agree with you on the fact that of the game is a masterpiece but it did meet expectations then it does hurts vs if a game overexceeds expectations and suprises everyone would have a better chance and that is proven by GOW 2018 ( a great game but no way better than RDR2) also 2021 IT takes Two a AA game winning against RE VIII , Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Deathloop, bcz it was innovative and suprised everyone. I do still believe GTA6 will blow everyone’s mind but yes after RDR2 you’d wonder how far more could they go. But we’ll know it when we see it. Rockstar have always proven themselves. But remember that after RDR2 lots of changes happened in the studio and some big figures left and since then Rockstar’s business practices have been some of the worst in the industry. Not doubting GTA 6 will be amazing but wont exclude the chance that they may sell thw game for like $200🥲 at this point

[@marcowulliampopirers2216]

Gta6 single-player exists solely to funnel people online, so the online release will definitely be some time afterward when they can ensure the perfect stable launch for it

I love TOTK but in all honesty it’s an example of this imo. Lots of dials cranked and new things added, but plays mostly like BOTW. GTA V got me back i to gaming in high school and here I am so I’m def gonna get it regardless.

[@new_horizon_edits5429]

Also been like 8 years since i played gtav so the new one will feel kinda fresh. Right?

[@CriticallyThonking]

@@new_horizon_edits5429Yes, it’ll likely pull many gameplay and physics mechanics from RDR2 which I recommend if you haven’t played !

[@AP90x]

Rdr1 and rdr2 Do not play the same. I cant see how much different they can be seeing as a car is a car, a gun is a gun so if course they will be similar in that aspect. But the details, content, and structure should be more refreshing. Just driving around the city will be a whole different experience than driving around in gta5. Physics, the npc’s the liveliness of the city the feel will be amazing. And gta6 will win game of the year because this gen we haven’t gotten any great games and I dont think we will get anything in the future. The only thing i think that can be something unique and innovative enough is death stranding 2. That avalanche they showed in the trailer was something Ive never seen before in a game. How dynamic can that world be? Thats my sleeper

What will compete?

Completely agree. GTA 5 had little replayability, and the world was much less fun than GTA 4 and its wonderful expansions. I am not even buying GTA 6 in the first year of release. I might wait a few years for a 75% discount. I don't care one bit for the online part of it.

There’s a certain threshold on how long a community will start getting bored a certain formula. First will be GTA next will be Fromsoft

[@alishalileh]

I don’t think GTA is formulaic in the same way ER is. People won’t get tired of GTA as the game is , to quote D. houser ‘satire of American media culture . With the GTA Franchise taking more than a decade to release an new instalment this gives players ample time to cleanse their palates and get ready for GTA VI. The premise that players will get bored with a specific formula might be true but GTA 6 is not a formulaic game by any stretch of the imagination and will thus retain gamers’ attention for a long,long time. As foe Feomsoft, there will also always be room for games demanding significant skill and being punishing if need be.

[@xKarma_411]

@@alishalileh I half agree, as much as we like to paint gta as a game that uses satire of current media and pop-culture with a touch of comical social commentary relief. It’s ultimately a game that follows a certain formula at the end of the day. Even if it’s almost over a decade since GTA5-Red Dead 2 was release in-between those games and it’s the first time I started to notice people not enjoying the R* formula.
