This was originally posted to c/games, but since that comm doesn’t allow piracy they replaced the link with a youtube link.
So here’s an alternative for people who don’t like Youtube
Consistently uninterested in game previews built by companies selling the games. I never find them to be accurate representations of gameplay.

Gameplay seems pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. Graphics are really nice. The lead guys voice sounds so put on that I think I would be distracted the whole time.

trailer graphics are always nicer. you can make an in-engine render with irreal graphics settings if you can allow a few minutes long clip to be rendered in a few hours at 5 FPS
Yeah, except that Rockstar’s games have always looked better than their trailers
I don’t like him at all. Lucia seems great, though.
I too thought that it was very good looking, but other than that, nothing that we haven’t seen before… Perhaps just more of it.

Rockstar’s shooting mechanics have always been bottom-tier. Even if they made it better, it won’t be great. Hopefully, it’s fun with lots to do. Looking forward to getting this from voices38
Max Payne 3 was a great shooter, somehow they regressed.
Barely remember much but I know I liked the game. Still, they never used anything good for the rdr or gta series.
Just a little white dot and even shittier feel.

For me GTA peaked with the originals in 1997-1999 and had a nice little comeback in 2013. Hyperreality is not what I need in games…
Chinatown Wars on DS is my favourite GTA game.
The problem is that when graphics become to realistic, you enter the uncanny valley, which makes things seem off.
IME it’s better when they (slightly) stylise the graphics, which makes the game look less realistic, but you weirdly end up noticing it less.
I grew up largely in the PS1 era and have a nostalgia for the affine texture warping. I’m not going to necessarily defend it as good in its own right, but I think a lot of older games play into that same “temporary suspension of disbelief” we get with movies. When something is less realistic, we are forced to invest more of our own imagination into it, an I believe that in a lot of ways this can form a stronger connection. You see this a lot with the whole analog horror trope, it’s the fear of the things hidden between the pixels that you’re not seeing and lets your imagination run wild.
Striving for realism only has one of two results: success of failure. Success is hard, and the numerous, subtle failures pile up until it distracts you and separates you from the illusion it’s trying to achieve.
To preface, I’m not a GTA player at all, but I felt confused coming out of watching this. Like, It looks really good, but something about how canned the gameplay itself was, threw me off. It was too clean, like, throw in a couple of missed shots with the guns at least. Have the player not predict where every enemy is. I wanted to see ACTUAL gameplay, not hyper scripted, perfected gameplay. I know this is the same with a lot of preview gameplay, it might be in engine, but it doesn’t give me a real sense of what it would look like in my hands. It always gives me a vibe of what are they trying to hide. My guess in this case is the lower than expected frame rates. Camera movements felt slow and deliberate, a common way to hide frame drops.
Otherwise I think there are a lot of systems going on, and this is going to be one hell of a sandbox game, but I want to see the real thing before even considering playing it.
Am I the only one thinking that glorifying gangsters and guns can’t be good for society ?
No, there are many people like you who blame videogames for everything.
Can’t be any worse than the gangsters in charge; at least a robber is honest about it.
Wasn’t this the thing they told everyone to subscribe to Netflix to see? Now all those people subscribed and they just tweeted it out?
Rockstar and Take Two are such a fucking joke, why do you guys give them any of your time or money? This game is gonna be a huge disappointment and I haven’t even watched the trailer
No. It was only going to be Netflix exclusive for a number of hours. Maybe six?
but since that comm doesn’t allow piracy they replaced the link with a youtube link.
So here’s an alternative for people who don’t like Youtube
what? are they also replacing invidious links with youtube links, inserting their own “si=” parameter to be even more “nonpirate”?
