Rockstar understands details they have a great reputation.

 

[Robb]

Sounds like a waste if it’s that demanding.

Yeah cool I guess. Not sure it's worth waiting however the fuck long for though.

Seems like the industry is sacrificing a lot in terms of dev cycles for graphical advances with marginal impact. Especially when you consider that 90% of the time these games end up running like absolute dogshit anyway.

AAA 'priorities' LOL

No games, indie games included, are pushing game design anywhere beyond where it was in the PS360 era. So they may as well push graphics if they arent going to advance the design of the game world. We've been stuck here going on 2 decades.

Pretty water to look at, this is worth talking about because?

I hope that if this is true it isn't just to make it pretty but to improve the sandbox gameplay. For example flying a helicopter with a bucket and picking up some water and dumping it somewhere. Volume based water instead of a flat undulating mesh.

 

[rofif]

Watch it still be a step down from GTA4.

lol would not be surprised.
GTA 5 was a stepdown from 4 in every aspect. From story to physics.

 

[anthraticus]

What they should be focusing on is the freakin MISSION DESIGN and making it less railroaded and more fun for the player, allowing them to approach and handle situations in different ways, being able to use their brain and creativity....instead of just boringly having to do it exactly how the devs want you to.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Wonder what this guy is up to now

 

[CherryFalls]

The main thing im waiting for is the ability to take out an umbrella during rain

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

But will horse balls shrink in water ?

That's the real deal.

I wish people weren't so obsessed with running games maxed out on PC. Games on PC should have settings that are punishing for hardware that exists when it releases. You shouldn't be able to run at Ultra settings on launch or even High on some settings. Those should be kept for a couple years down the road when there is newer hardware.

GTA VI will hit hard when it comes out especially considering it will likely have raytracing I don't expect to able to run it maxed out at launch. I have a 4080 right now but who knows when the game will come out. Most likely we'll have 5000 cards by the time it launches. So maybe 6000 cards won't struggle with it

Yeah I think GTA4 was the first release I remember when a sizeable number of PC gamers started complaining that a game didn't run great with everything maxed and were reluctant to reduce any settings to get it to run well.

 

[amigastar]

I disagree, GTA 4 physics wouldn't work in GTA 5 since it would take ages to go from point A to B. Also the spectrum was bigger in GTA 5 from driving on dirt, wet surfaces to tarmac.

 

[BeforeU]

whats the realistic timeline for this game? Is Summer 2024 release still on the table?

 

[bitbydeath]

Watch it still be a step down from GTA4.

I don’t think it’ll be as bad as the worst GTA ever made.

 

[Knightime_X]

I wonder if everything they say is mostly meant for pc.
So when the console version comes with a clear and evident downgrade, they'll be quick to mention pc.

 

[Myths]

This should be really good. Obviously V is an old game now, but to see how much of an improvement this would be over the current physics or system being used will be quite a sight. Add in some actual wave physics that can be surfed, OKz

 

[rofif]

but all in all driving in 5 was stiff and arcadey and 4 was realistic

 

[nowhat]

Decent, average, or even serviceable shooting mechanics in a Rockstar game, nah. But better water, sure. Sometimes (assuming this rumor is true) priorities of AAA studios are really misplaced.

 

[rodrigolfp]

And will have 800ms of lag because of that....

 

[Big Baller]

What about butt and tit physics

 

[Games of Today]

I will scream if they manage to beat Naughty Dog to using this kind of physics tech for water. But I will happily welcome it.

 

[ahtlas7]

I like advanced water physics.

 

[Kuranghi]

What about butt and tit physics

Hopefully won't use the same water tech for the bums, I'm not really a "giant ripping ass of destruction" kind of guy, I like em pert and tight.

Boobs wise, we're looking at some heavy R&D that must be done, theres angles to consider, floppage, flappage, its pretty complex stuff.

 

[LostDonkey]

Oh wow, super advanced.

That's miles better than just advanced.

Can't wait to see.

 

[HighPoly]

Like crashing cars, realistically???

PLEASE ! ! !

DOES ANYONE KNOW?

 

[Party McHardy]

The wii u water guy is immortal.

Doubt it. Realistic car crashes can mess up the kind of gameplay GTA usually aims towards.

Adding more polygons won't make their car damage physics more realistic either.

There wouldn't be anything fun about hitting a kerb at 30 and your car just stops and won't drive any more

 

[justiceiro]

Literally the only stuff that looked super weird on the trailer. I call bs.

 

[West Texas CEO]

We will be lucky to have this running at 15 FPS for current gen consoles.

Rockstar is strategically waiting to release VI in 2025, as it will also coincide with the release of the PS5 Pro.

They did it with GTAIV which had the most fun driving of all GTAs.
I hope this level of detail to physics will have a comeback.

 

[tamago84]

the water and hair physics were insane in the trailer

 

[Balducci30]

lol what?

Except that was far from realistic.

How much time do you really spend in the water?

 

[justiceiro]

lol what?

What?

GTA 6: improvements brought by the new version of the RAGE

[CamHostage]

How much time do you really spend in the water?

...In Miami? As much time as you can.

GTA 6 is set in a Miami-style city, so I imagine there will be a lot of boat and beachfront activity, maybe also some swimming play, plus improved water is important for flight. It had better not be the focus of the game (practically nobody's favorite part of games is the "water missions",) but in this setting (and also with liquid simulation being something often explored in scientific and visual design fields,) good water makes sense for this generation of GTA,.

Not really.
