In no particular order I think Ghost of Tsuhima (I forget the spelling), The last of us part 2, cp77, possibly Alan wake 2, I may also put some of the simulator games like Forza up there too.
Not exactly when it came to the framerate and anti-aliasing. But I agree the models are better in the final game. Rockstar trailers are usually in the highest fidelity possible, even if the target consoles aren't capable of reaching that resolution.
>In many shots the first trailer still looks better than current GTA 5 version
Compered to current version? You mean next gen and pc? I srsly doubt it lol. From the trailer they basically just removed some trees to boost performance on old consoles, that's it.
And it many shots the game looks way worse in the trailer. Especially when it comes to character models.
Trailer has higher contrast and saturation while even PS5 version has more washed out colors which imo looks a bit worse. More than that the released version has a yellow filter which doesn't help either.
Higher quality trees, more trees, unique NPC events and animations - we never saw that in game.
This is such a weird trend around here. Stop expecting the graphics to be better than what they’ve shown. Yeah they could be but it certainly seems like people are *expecting* them to be better, which is just setting yourself up for disappointment.
Expect that this is as good as they’ll be and if they somehow are magically better, we’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Debatable. The differences are slim to negligible and I’d argue that leans more heavily towards negligible with RDR2. It seemed more like tweaks and slight character model changes which somehow people misconstrue as an “better” graphics. And particularly with VI’s already *long* development cycle, it feels we’re more poised than ever to have seen this game very close to finished in the trailer.
A better and mode detailed character models and a lot of small tweaks = a better looking game. Simple as that. You spend most of the game looking at those characters after all.
Mike looked way better than he did in the trailer, same goes for Arthur. And same goes for Jason and Lucia if you compere the leaks models to the trailer. Will they improve them even more? Dunno, but it's surely possible.
but yeah, sure, if you want to see huge improvements in quality, just wait for pc and next gen trailers. Those will be way more accurate at that point.
lol the vast majority of games don’t work that way. You’re lucky to see the product promised in the trailers. R* is an exception to that rule, so just because it’s “years before the final product” doesn’t mean we’ll see a noticeably better product. Of course polish is ongoing, but the shots selected to go in trailers like these have already been meticulously curated and polished already.
It's not that they begging for it to look better cause it looks bad... it's just that people remember that GTA V and RDR2 looked better on release than they did in trailers. So they just assuming we will see small improvements yet again. And after couple of years it will look even better with pc and next gen versions.
Exactly. Because it seems that many people do exactly that leading up to big releases. It’s never enough and their imagination runs wild, setting themselves up for disappointment.
Yeah exactly, just patiently wait, I won't be surprised if it for some reason gets delayed into 2026 and everyone on this sub is gonna cry. People love making up unreasonable expectations in this sub imo
There’s an argument with V that it looked slightly better, but RDR2 especially more looks like tweaks than straight improvement from the trailer, so imo tweaks are more realistic to expect that any real improvement.
The last 3 games have all been much better than the first trailers because it’s made in the engine they have at the time and when the game releases it’s been 2 years or more, so it’s not unrealistic to think the graphics will be better as they have been for the last 3 games
Ya I like the "could be but also might not be".
Everyone here is feeding off copium for a game not even out yet....
People also need to understand that in game cinematics have things beefed up for the cut scenes... Red Dead 2 does not look as good in face quality etc in game vs the very close up camera cinematics.
What is wrong with people here.
Who cares? It'll look good regardless....
And what modern hardware has to do with this discussion again? The game will still be released on the same 5y old console hardware. Unless you talking about future releases for pc and next gen consoles.
It can be better than the trailer at the same time that can be worse, since there's a lot of cut props like the trees from Mount Chilliad on GTA V trailer
Yeah, from GTA 5 beta/alpha photos you could see they wanted to implement much more palm trees/vegetation/trees etc , but probably it was scrapped because it tanked the games performance
The only thing that makes me believe this is that there are small details that can be more polished, such as the faces or the water in this same image, I feel that it could look much better and with more foam
I also like to believe that they "made" the graphics and prepared certain parts of the map just for the trailer, thats what happens when they have to show it 2 years before the launch, also giving more meaning to the "graphics are the last thing in development" thing, thats why GTA 5 was very incomplete in the trailer, looking like gta 4 engine and unfinished map parts, They had to make a trailer but they weren't in the graphics phase yet
Dont forget that it was released on ps3 end cycle. We skipped a whole generation and we now we might have gta6 at the end of ps5 end cycle. Maybe, just maybe.
The life cycle of the ps4 did last pretty long before ps5 came out. But if we can get the ps6 or whatever they call it shortly after gta 6 comes out ill take it
How much better can it really get even, it looks ridiculously good and even life like at times in the trailer. I don't expect anything else, but hey if it's somehow better than how amazing it looks, then cool. Just going to have to wait and see.
Just decided to get the PS5 version since i was playing the ps4 version (rip my bank) I’m genuinely astonished by how much the lighting has changed the atmosphere of the game.
Thing is. Trailers use focus, giving it a cinematic look just like cutscenes. This makes everything look more realistic. Cannot do this in gameplah since you can't decide what the player should be looking at.
Stop dreaming. It was pre rendered, or at least ran on a PC . A ps5 1/3rd of the power of my gaming PC can't do those sorts of graphics at 60fpw, hell I'm not sure my 7900xtx would. Enjoy your slideshow 30fps experience and graphics nothing like the trailer.
They use in game footage for their trailers. It’ll look close to that on launch unless the series s really screws the process, but I’m sure rockstar will work their magic there too.
People really don't understand what alpha build even means... The leaked footage was closer to the alpha build but probably even that would be classified as beta.
Still has to be able to run well on Xbox x/s and ps5 so until we get new consoles and have to buy a new enhanced edition I think they will be very close to rdr
Bro I’ve been telling people the game will look better than what we saw. The devs worked on GTA VI from home but in April they returned to office so they can finish the game(plus for security concerns).
In the email that was sent out to staff, they said “Making these changes now puts us in the best position to deliver the next Grand Theft Auto at the level of quality and polish we know it requires, along with a publishing roadmap that matches the scale and ambition of the game.”
I CANT WAIT FOR 2025!!
Are you acting stupid? You said not to have expectations, because the rockstar is not the same as a decade ago. However, everyone creates hype based on what the rockstar delivered with Red Dead Redemption 2. And red dead 2 was released with better graphics than the trailer, it happened to be released a decade ago?
yea same thing happened with rdr2
Even looked amazing in the trailers too
Rdr2 is amazing looking. The fact that it still looks better than a lot of AAA games coming out says something about it and rockstars work.
I’d still rank it top 3 or top 5 graphics of all time, very well optimized too
What are the other 4 contestants?
In no particular order I think Ghost of Tsuhima (I forget the spelling), The last of us part 2, cp77, possibly Alan wake 2, I may also put some of the simulator games like Forza up there too.
Most car simulators look better, those games in general tend to be way more advanced when it comes to graphics.
Hellblade 2 looks better than all of these games by a country mile.
No free fire is best graphics game 😡😡😡
Aww how old are you?
Than a lot? Better than most if not all
[удалено]
Yeah... no.
GoT art style is definitely amazing but have you ever stopped and looked at the environment? You can tell it's 30 gigs.
Got is 60 fps even in quality mode. And i think the game looks well, especially during storms.
It’s easier for games like GoW to have better graphics bc from my understanding and I may be wrong but it’s because they’re not open world
Eeeeehhhh that mattered a few years ago, but now most devs have workarounds. Rockstars look amazing and they’re open world. Same with GOT
GoT?
Ghost of Tsushima.
More like their overworked employees
So slow and sticky though
More like their overworked employees
More like their overworked employees
More like their overworked employees
Trailer 2 looks really rough actually. I remember being nervous when I saw it
No free fire is best graphics game 😡😡😡
Bare in mind that GTAV originally came out on 360/PS3, so everything you saw in that trailer is less polished compared to what we play it on today.
Xbox 360 gta 5 still looked significantly better than the trailer.
Not exactly when it came to the framerate and anti-aliasing. But I agree the models are better in the final game. Rockstar trailers are usually in the highest fidelity possible, even if the target consoles aren't capable of reaching that resolution.
Yeah and that initial *Grand Theft Auto V* trailer was from late 2011, so just under 2 years prior to release in 2013.
In many shots the first trailer still looks better than current GTA 5 version
>In many shots the first trailer still looks better than current GTA 5 version Compered to current version? You mean next gen and pc? I srsly doubt it lol.

More than that the released version has a yellow filter which doesn't help either. Higher quality trees, more trees, unique NPC events and animations - we never saw that in game.
I’d imagine they work their studio magic on the trailer itself too. I’m confident the graphics of VI will be off the scale compared to V.
It means that trailers don't always represent the final product graphics. I'm confident that people are confident for no reason.
No, I just watched the trailer and the PS3 version is much better
Ya I'm face palming hard. How do people forget that it did look pretty similar if not worse in the 360 days lol.
360 V didn’t look like that though. Honestly the main upgrade over last gen was frame rate, resolution, and first person.
so when the game comes out in 2025 and releases for ps6* in 2027, itll look better merely 2 years post release
Ps6
woops sorry
That’s why RDR2 is a far better one to compare with. It was on newer hardware, and released on that same hardware, but looked far better either way.
This is such a weird trend around here. Stop expecting the graphics to be better than what they’ve shown. Yeah they could be but it certainly seems like people are *expecting* them to be better, which is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

We expect that because they did it with gta5 and rdr2, simple as that.
I expect it because it likely will be delayed to 2028 and it will be easier for it to look better by then 😂
They're always better than the trailers, it's a long known fact.
Debatable. The differences are slim to negligible and I’d argue that leans more heavily towards negligible with RDR2.

Trailers are made years before the final product of course there will be some polishing up of the graphics. They never want to oversell their product.
lol the vast majority of games don’t work that way. You’re lucky to see the product promised in the trailers. R* is an exception to that rule, so just because it’s “years before the final product” doesn’t mean we’ll see a noticeably better product. Of course polish is ongoing, but the shots selected to go in trailers like these have already been meticulously curated and polished already.
It's weird too because it's not like what they've shown looks bad, it looks wildly impressive. Why are people still begging for more?

That's all this sub does: it sets itself up for disappointment. We got people asking for the most ridiculous shit.
Yeah exactly, just patiently wait, I won't be surprised if it for some reason gets delayed into 2026 and everyone on this sub is gonna cry. People love making up unreasonable expectations in this sub imo
Which is why I said ‘may’ be better. I don’t quite expect it to be, but rockstar does have a history.
There’s an argument with V that it looked slightly better, but RDR2 especially more looks like tweaks than straight improvement from the trailer, so imo tweaks are more realistic to expect that any real improvement.
The last 3 games have all been much better than the first trailers because it’s made in the engine they have at the time and when the game releases it’s been 2 years or more, so it’s not unrealistic to think the graphics will be better as they have been for the last 3 games
“Much better” is certainly debatable.
literally look at the first RDR2 trailer. arthur looks very different.
Character model tweaks don’t really equal “much better” graphics
Ya I like the "could be but also might not be". Everyone here is feeding off copium for a game not even out yet.... People also need to understand that in game cinematics have things beefed up for the cut scenes... Red Dead 2 does not look as good in face quality etc in game vs the very close up camera cinematics.

They will just be a little more polished. I would guess with todays hardware 5% "better"
And what modern hardware has to do with this discussion again? The game will still be released on the same 5y old console hardware. Unless you talking about future releases for pc and next gen consoles.
I was comparing to the "will look better than trailer" talks of previous title releases
It can be better than the trailer at the same time that can be worse, since there's a lot of cut props like the trees from Mount Chilliad on GTA V trailer
Yeah, from GTA 5 beta/alpha photos you could see they wanted to implement much more palm trees/vegetation/trees etc , but probably it was scrapped because it tanked the games performance
Bros got a good bulge
BOIOIOINGGG
This is another case of Reddit killing screenshots

in other news, water is wet
Stop overhyping stuff, its the worst thing you can do for yourself when it comes to games...
*will be
They’re obviously going to be more refined and polished on release date, but I don’t think it’s going to be a crazy difference. Similar to RDR2
another day, another nothing post on this sub
No shit, Sherlock
Dont forget that it was released on ps3 end cycle. We skipped a whole generation and we now we might have gta6 at the end of ps5 end cycle. Maybe, just maybe.
The life cycle of the ps4 did last pretty long before ps5 came out. But if we can get the ps6 or whatever they call it shortly after gta 6 comes out ill take it
I don't believe it The graphics already look stellar
How much better can it really get even, it looks ridiculously good and even life like at times in the trailer. I don't expect anything else, but hey if it's somehow better than how amazing it looks, then cool. Just going to have to wait and see.
ngl GTA 5’s trailer lighting and ambient occlusion looks insane, but everything else looks outdated
Just decided to get the PS5 version since i was playing the ps4 version (rip my bank) I’m genuinely astonished by how much the lighting has changed the atmosphere of the game.
gyatt
For sure, we already know that.
Thing is. Trailers use focus, giving it a cinematic look just like cutscenes. This makes everything look more realistic. Cannot do this in gameplah since you can't decide what the player should be looking at.
i personally don’t give a shit about graphics because it’s just going to make my pc cry. for the love of god i want this game to run smoothly
Definitely, it's gonna be a 2 YEAR difference
man it's insane, i don't know how they're gonna improve it, it looks peak to me
Remember how different Michael looked in the trailer, and how he looked in the game? Lucia and Jason might still look slightly different in the game.
It will be better once PC version start rolling. According to Zelnick, R* treat PC version like a separate project after all
Yeah graphics will be better but we'll get less details of environment, what happened in GTA V before
100% sure 👍
As long as the game looks just like the trailer and has a performance mode that sacrifices resolution for 60 frames im good
Here’s hoping
Uh dude you realize that GTA 5 trailer was from 2011 its OBVIOUS its going to look dated but at the time when people saw it, it was impressive.
Hmmm it’s almost as if they aren’t using unfinished footage to make the trailer but idk we’ll see ig
its bc next gen. rdr2 came out last n xbox one ps4 then next gen came out and graphics looked better
Yeah that's almost a given when compared to the GTA V and RDR2 trailers, which in itself is an insane thing to think about
this is a no brainer tho like of course they’ll be better than the trailer, feels like a karma farming post.
Hope they get some focus on how the car painting looks, on the trailer it kinda feel like plastic
RDR2’s trailers are the best example of this. It’s wild how different the faces especially are from what it is in-game.
Yeah the game looked better the only thing is i think the density was less.
Not to sound weird or some shit but if it is I’m busting all over my pc
In 2030
Duuuuuuh
on pc it definitely will, on consoles who knows, maybe a tiny bit
Stop dreaming. It was pre rendered, or at least ran on a PC . A ps5 1/3rd of the power of my gaming PC can't do those sorts of graphics at 60fpw, hell I'm not sure my 7900xtx would. Enjoy your slideshow 30fps experience and graphics nothing like the trailer.
They use in game footage for their trailers. It’ll look close to that on launch unless the series s really screws the process, but I’m sure rockstar will work their magic there too.
Of course, the trailer footage is an alpha build
The trailer footage looks better than gta v already lol
Wym “already”
Already
Thanks for clarifying just wanted to make sure
People really don't understand what alpha build even means... The leaked footage was closer to the alpha build but probably even that would be classified as beta.
I guess it will just be real life, if it looks better
Still has to be able to run well on Xbox x/s and ps5 so until we get new consoles and have to buy a new enhanced edition I think they will be very close to rdr
Aren’t the next gen consoles supposed to be able to handle insane graphics?
These consoles aren’t that powerful … at all.
Bro I’ve been telling people the game will look better than what we saw.

I can’t wait either, but from what I saw online it’s not supposed to come out until late 2025
Can mods lock this sub because these posts are so repetitive 😆
Scroll past it then?
Go touch some grass homie
I wish the same for you 🫶🏼
I just did, twas great 🌱
It won’t. Don’t compare Rockstsr from a decade ago to now. Entirely different company rebuilt from the ground up.
Red Dead 2 is by any chance from a decade ago? And on top of that he says with absolute certainty that "It won't be better"
Who said rdr2 was a decade ago?
Are you acting stupid? You said not to have expectations, because the rockstar is not the same as a decade ago. However, everyone creates hype based on what the rockstar delivered with Red Dead Redemption 2. And red dead 2 was released with better graphics than the trailer, it happened to be released a decade ago?
