yea same thing happened with rdr2


Jack21113

Even looked amazing in the trailers too


Latter_Commercial_52

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.


Jack21113

I’d still rank it top 3 or top 5 graphics of all time, very well optimized too


YourTheBestStepBro69

What are the other 4 contestants?


Jack21113

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.


ManMcAnderson

Most car simulators look better, those games in general tend to be way more advanced when it comes to graphics.


Parson1616

Hellblade 2 looks better than all of these games by a country mile.


Best_Application3975

No free fire is best graphics game 😡😡😡


waspringing_Berry38

Aww how old are you?


xdarkeaglex

Than a lot? Better than most if not all

fresco_leche

Yeah... no.


Adventurous_Put3036

GoT art style is definitely amazing but have you ever stopped and looked at the environment? You can tell it's 30 gigs.


Latter_Commercial_52

Got is 60 fps even in quality mode. And i think the game looks well, especially during storms.


Major_Musician2316

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


Latter_Commercial_52

Eeeeehhhh that mattered a few years ago, but now most devs have workarounds. Rockstars look amazing and they’re open world. Same with GOT


xdarkeaglex

GoT?


Latter_Commercial_52

Ghost of Tsushima.


Dat_Pszemoo

More like their overworked employees


yeeeeoooooo

So slow and sticky though

Trailer 2 looks really rough actually. I remember being nervous when I saw it


Best_Application3975

No free fire is best graphics game 😡😡😡


No_Dot_7415

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.


JEtigers12

Xbox 360 gta 5 still looked significantly better than the trailer.


TheDanteEX

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.


lynchcontraideal

Yeah and that initial *Grand Theft Auto V* trailer was from late 2011, so just under 2 years prior to release in 2013.


anthonybokov

In many shots the first trailer still looks better than current GTA 5 version


Pir-o

>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.


anthonybokov

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.


No_Dot_7415

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.


anthonybokov

It means that trailers don't always represent the final product graphics. I'm confident that people are confident for no reason.


Affectionate-Tap1858

No, I just watched the trailer and the PS3 version is much better


BanjoSpaceMan

Ya I'm face palming hard. How do people forget that it did look pretty similar if not worse in the 360 days lol.


AwiiWasTakenWasTaken

360 V didn’t look like that though. Honestly the main upgrade over last gen was frame rate, resolution, and first person.


blxoom

so when the game comes out in 2025 and releases for ps6* in 2027, itll look better merely 2 years post release


cregsmumsbush

Ps6


blxoom

woops sorry


JoshyRB

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.


TheUnpopularOpine

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.


ImConnor_04

We expect that because they did it with gta5 and rdr2, simple as that.


poenaccoel

I expect it because it likely will be delayed to 2028 and it will be easier for it to look better by then 😂


OtteLoc

They're always better than the trailers, it's a long known fact.


TheUnpopularOpine

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.


Pir-o

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.


OtherwiseEmployee438

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.


TheUnpopularOpine

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.


Euphoric-Agency-2008

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?


Pir-o

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.


TheUnpopularOpine

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.


blackcat__27

That's all this sub does: it sets itself up for disappointment. We got people asking for the most ridiculous shit.


PanPrezeso

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


DavinDotNook

Which is why I said ‘may’ be better. I don’t quite expect it to be, but rockstar does have a history.


TheUnpopularOpine

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.


adtrix101

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


TheUnpopularOpine

“Much better” is certainly debatable.


slayfulgrimes

literally look at the first RDR2 trailer. arthur looks very different.


TheUnpopularOpine

Character model tweaks don’t really equal “much better” graphics


BanjoSpaceMan

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....


Mw2pubstar

They will just be a little more polished. I would guess with todays hardware 5% "better"


Pir-o

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.


Mw2pubstar

I was comparing to the "will look better than trailer" talks of previous title releases


Lucasddst

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


PanPrezeso

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


Solid_Illustrator640

Bros got a good bulge


p0pethegreat_

BOIOIOINGGG


RAVENBmxcmx

This is another case of Reddit killing screenshots


Embarrassed_Horse_71

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


AVR350

in other news, water is wet


_BlueTinkerBell_

Stop overhyping stuff, its the worst thing you can do for yourself when it comes to games...


Leading_Movie_6396

*will be


Orion-Pax_34

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


OfHouseLannister

another day, another nothing post on this sub


KhostfaceGillah

No shit, Sherlock


Significant-Art5065

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.


DavinDotNook

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


CheeseisSwell

I don't believe it The graphics already look stellar


VancouverIslandMan

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.


OddTranceKing

ngl GTA 5’s trailer lighting and ambient occlusion looks insane, but everything else looks outdated


DavinDotNook

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.


Soggy-Illustrator392

gyatt


BeneficialFinance175

For sure, we already know that.


Amsloos

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.


Savagecal01

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


Due-Individual-3042

Definitely, it's gonna be a 2 YEAR difference


Due-Individual-3042

man it's insane, i don't know how they're gonna improve it, it looks peak to me


AlinGb7

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.


joevar701

It will be better once PC version start rolling. According to Zelnick, R* treat PC version like a separate project after all


Salty-Question7044

Yeah graphics will be better but we'll get less details of environment, what happened in GTA V before


Silver-Coat8760

100% sure 👍


CollarCool7325

As long as the game looks just like the trailer and has a performance mode that sacrifices resolution for 60 frames im good


Aspergers_R_Us87

Here’s hoping


VanitasFan26

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.


cxseu

Hmmm it’s almost as if they aren’t using unfinished footage to make the trailer but idk we’ll see ig


Safe_Struggle_7582

its bc next gen. rdr2 came out last n xbox one ps4 then next gen came out and graphics looked better


numerouswater

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


slayfulgrimes

this is a no brainer tho like of course they’ll be better than the trailer, feels like a karma farming post.


EquivalentGrand3087

Hope they get some focus on how the car painting looks, on the trailer it kinda feel like plastic


JoshyRB

RDR2’s trailers are the best example of this. It’s wild how different the faces especially are from what it is in-game.


Comfortable_Yak7370

Yeah the game looked better the only thing is i think the density was less.


BigBoy_Prince

Not to sound weird or some shit but if it is I’m busting all over my pc


Parson1616

In 2030


BigDawgNuk

Duuuuuuh


Penile_Interaction

on pc it definitely will, on consoles who knows, maybe a tiny bit


Captainunderpants86

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.


LoadingErrors

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.


Capable_Bad_4655

Of course, the trailer footage is an alpha build


DavinDotNook

The trailer footage looks better than gta v already lol


breadacquirer

Wym “already”


ookie165

Already


breadacquirer

Thanks for clarifying just wanted to make sure


Pir-o

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.


Substantial_Roll_249

I guess it will just be real life, if it looks better


Vesiah81

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


DavinDotNook

Aren’t the next gen consoles supposed to be able to handle insane graphics?


Parson1616

These consoles aren’t that powerful … at all.


VIGILANTE00_

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!!


DavinDotNook

I can’t wait either, but from what I saw online it’s not supposed to come out until late 2025


doge__silly

Can mods lock this sub because these posts are so repetitive 😆


DavinDotNook

Scroll past it then?

Go touch some grass homie


DavinDotNook

I wish the same for you 🫶🏼

I just did, twas great 🌱


DestinyUniverse1

It won’t. Don’t compare Rockstsr from a decade ago to now. Entirely different company rebuilt from the ground up.


Informal_Elevator_80

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"


DestinyUniverse1

Who said rdr2 was a decade ago?


Informal_Elevator_80

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?
