What's wild to me is how this game has been out for 5 years now and there's still new things you can find in it, and it's not even technically an rpg, nor do they add new things to the singleplayer. The fact that there are at least 6 different interactions with this short-lived random encounter really goes to show that Rockstar really does cares A LOT about immersing you into their worlds as much as possible.

Spec Ops: The Line comes to mind for example with several scenarios that have different solutions like at one point where an angry mob attacks you and naturally you're first response to use your gun...but you can also just fire into the air and they'll disperse without you killing anyone. RDR2 actually doesn't do anything new, but what it does that is unprecedented is do old stuff on a bigger scale than before while telling a solid character story.

Especially the outcomes of easing his pain slowly or putting him out of his misery... Especially the shotgun one; him begging not to have that gun specifically used on him. The details in that horror, knowing the player would choose different outcomes for his fate is remarkable. I also recall saving a man from a mountain lion attack; one being chased down and one a man was in a tree with the mountian lion under the tree. I always come across the snake bite victims; but i enjoy helping them and running into them late in the game and receiving rewards.

So, upon reading everybody else's take on what constitutes next gen, here's my humble addition to the discussion; When referring to a game being next gen I personally believe there are two main criterion to consider... one being Visuals and the other, arguably more important, being Interactivity. Below are the two further elaborated on; Visuals: This encompasses mostly graphics I guess, but also a bit of art style and direction, or better yet, a perfect combination of all mentioned. Basically anything primarily to do with the looks of the game in question to help with the visual presentation angle I'm going for here. "Next gen" I believe however, only would and should apply to games pushing and breaking the industry standards on visuals with their looks. Examples of games I opine meet this standard to be called next gen in this very specific regard are games like Cyberpunk 2077 (v2.1), Alan Wake 2 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, to name a few off the top of my head (this is not an exhaustive list in the slightest). Now, taking on Cyberpunk 2077 alone, this game has done wonders with lighting, texture work and animation, going as far as being the poster child for Nvidia's latest installment for yet another new graphical feature or any advancement in that space. The game frankly looks immaculate firing on all cylinders... that there, my good people, is next gen for anyone wondering what the term even means. The lighting on display here is truly something remarkable, the same goes for Alan Wake 2, pushing what was previously not thought possible for current tech and bringing it to your screens today, right here and now. Avatar also delivers with its visuals when it comes to foliage and atmosphere, and its uniform general application of this on such a broad scale in its open world. A testament in bringing to life what was shown only in movies to be so very well translated into game form, in effect being a superb expansion of those highly regarded movies (at least highly regarded for their visuals). Interactivity: Now this is where I personally believe is even more important in any discussion about "Next gen games" even more so than visuals (games being the leading medium in interactivity owing to player agency and all, afterall). Now, Interactivity here encompasses anything from the game in question's physics system to realistic Npc interactions in whatever peculiar circumstance springs up. When an object or person reacts as your brain likely foresaw it/they would, should or could in real life and does so exactly or really close to it, there's no doubt about next gen being applicable here. When you're able to access all or most interiors in a game, that too helps with immersion and that too is next gen. We as gamers have chased the dream of realistic, seamless and spontaneous interactivity ever since gaming was a thing, so the more interactive a game in this regard is, the better. Games I believe qualify for next gen are the latest Zelda games; BOTW and more so TOTK, and then Red Dead Redemption 2. Again, far from being an exhaustive list. I picked these specifically because in the case of the very latest Zelda game, TOTK, this exhibits beautifully what I mean by interactivity with its awesome physics system. The physics is so good here people are able to build anything they want and are frankly only limited by their own imagination. From functioning giant murder Mechs to working calculators, it's all possible. This is insane technical prowess being showcased in the present day and especially on the game's present underpowered hardware, it's almost seems like black magic. Things in that world act, react and interact as you would think they would. Then there's RDR 2 picked for it's Npc interactions. I always find myself immersed in that game solely just by engaging with that system. Until we get to make games that actually generate spontaneous dialog and dialog options through the use and help of some very advanced AI, (which makes sense and just works, mind you) this is as close as it gets. To think of the hundreds of thousands of script lines made to create and simulate the feel of talking and interacting with real life people, accounting for a multitude of differing, dynamic scenarios at any given point is extremely wild. This too is next gen. Baldur's Gate 3 in this regard then should be considered next gen in my humble opinion. I think it does all I've just described and goes clinically insane with it. Like I said, until we get the integration of advanced AI to assist with this particular kind of immersion, this is it guys. By the way, you may have noticed I did not speak of RDR2 in the Visuals segment. Well, do not get me wrong, the game is visually top-tier, but it has started to show some slight aging... this being no fault of its own. It released on last gen hardware and 6 years ago at this point. The fact it still gets to trade blows however with releases till today is proof enough that the game is no slouch visually though. Now, the main takeaway in all I've said on this topic is that next gen must not be relegated to just graphics (being Visuals). A larger more important part of this discussion must include Interactivity as well... it is games we're playing afterall, not glorified movies that we only incessantly chase on visuals. Which segues me into a new fear I've just recently began having about GTA 6... that with all its graphical leaps and advancement, it may fall short on being a game. Hear me out, we all know or are becoming slowly aware of Rockstar's pretty outdated game design that limit the player to play exactly how they want you to or you get an automatic fail, right? Well, I hope this is not the case in their latest iteration, and that the company has expanded on making their next "open world" title, GTA 6, an actual "open game", true to that description of open world gaming. The Interactivity of this game, if they should implement this my humble suggestion, would gain so much from this, which in turn would solidify and cement GTA 6 as a true next gen title... a perfect marriage of the two main criterion I am advocating for be what next gen is all about, being both Visuals (no doubt there with GTA 6's visuals) and Interactivity.

[@SankarGS]

Gta 6 era 2023 not 2030 its already show in Gta6 trailer at police Cam View date

[@cptLeviAckerman]

​@SankarGS He ment the game is ahead of it's time not the Timeline....

[@Ralathar44]

The detail has been matched before by many games, they just didn't have the detail + the scope backed by a good story. Because most companies don't have money to burn like Rockstar does. Even other AAA companies. They really got lucky with the Grand Theft Auto Series lol. They were first on the open world scene and open world games have never stopped being super popular so they printed money and that money let them stay out in front of the pack because they can do more than their competition with less money. 2,000 people worked on Red Dead 2. About 420 worked on Starfield and 450 on Baldur's Gate 3. That's the difference lol.

[@dccaleb5529]

@@Ralathar44 If RDR2 didn’t have a story and the map was half the size it would still have the most attention to detail out of any game ever made. And I’ve played (and loved) both games you mentioned as well as most huge AAA games you can think of. It’s not even close.

[@superking-nicolaslucau7252]

Give any studio 2000 employees, a 500M budget and 10 years of development and they would ALL make a game that detailed. Well maybe not Ubisoft, ok.

I bought my nephew a PS 4 when this came out and this game was bundled with it. That was like 5 or 6 years ago. The music I listen to, my views in life have all changed just from spectating my nephew while he played RDR2.

[@ohedd]

I'd love to see how they delegated the work at rockstar. They probably gave the developers a lot of latitude when scripting these scenarios, only imposing a number of constraints to the degree that these scenarios are supposed to leave a decision tree open for a later interaction. But beyond that, developers were probably told to just have fun with it.

[@John-996]

I wonder how expensive it is create such detailed encounters Rockstar and Bethsanda seems to be the only devs how create unique encounters.

[@ohedd]

@@John-996 Yea, it's probably quite expensive imo. Of course linear storylines are completely sequential, meaning the content roughly scales linearly with the story. But the moment you introduce decision trees, the amount of content compounds each time the decision tree branches off. Anyone who's somewhat familiar with coding understands the implications of creating an (almost) never ending chain of conditional statements. That's why I think the future of gaming will incorporate AI, where things like dialogue can be made up on the fly, and the role of the game developer is less to dictate the story, and more to provide guard rails for the characters to sort of nudge the story along its arc. That way branching storylines can be "procedurally generated" sort of. Idk. So for example, instead of programming 5 different sets of animations and dialogues triggered by 5 different functions, the developer gives the NPC an identity; a backstory, mood, motivations, pain threshold, interests, etc. The player then interacts with the character and based on how that input comports with the baseline of the NPC, appropriate animation and dialogue comes out the other end. Additional guardrails could be provided in case the developer wants the story to go a certain direction. You get the idea.

skyrim did alot of these things to , diffrent reactions based on what you were doin and had equiped. i love games that do this, it adds so much to the immersion.

[@PERTEKofficial]

It’s amazing how much more well-executed it is now too. I’m pretty sure Skyrim had a few moments where a character would say part of their line, then say “wait, let me try that again” and then redo the line, which is understandable that things like that could go unnoticed. Everyone talks about how RDR2 took so long to develop because of how detailed it is, but just imagine the sheer amount of time that must have been put in to QA testing to make sure everything functions as intended. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a dialogue line that was goofed up in this game

[@Dennan]

@@PERTEKofficial yea rockstar is in a leauge of thier own, and ya, bethseda games falls flat when it comes to testing for bugs, like some bugs so obvious yet left in the game for 10 years , rdr2 i never encounterd any bugs, ofc i started playing when it came to pc, but i mean thats no execuse that bethseda can use when they littearly still havent fixed obvious bugs lol even when they give out new version every year of skyrim. also i do think rdr2 system of reaction to player is alot deeper then that of skyrim and fallout 4 as just this dude he has several diffrent ways to react to just one encounter, wolf attack.

[@AmyCherryLMAO]

​@@Dennani remember fallout 4 where you could open carry weapons and wave them around and no one would say anything about it, even if they had it pointed right in their faces. but yeah try that shit in rdr2 and your ass is getting smoked so fast by anyone nearby, so yeah i love how alive rdr2 truly feels and i wish bethesda could follow in a lot of the same ways rather than every non story essential man, woman, and child having the same 5-8 voice actors

[@Dennan]

@@AmyCherryLMAO ya i rember they mostly reacted to like power armor or such, kinda downgrade after skyrim

[@Ronuk1996]

​@@DennanYeah after Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim there was decline even though Fallout4 was still a great open world but with Starfield they really went in further down hill. Seems like they lost alot of the great open world devs they had there with Skyrim.

I think the more impressive part is if saving such a person than changes things along the story later on. RDR2 obviously has many such things as well. Makes it just more meaningful to save someone there are actually pay attention to your surroundings and be quick witted compared to lets say him just surviving and being a random npc that never matters again.
