The GTA 6 trailer wasn't just cinematics, according to a former Rockstar developer who says "It's really gonna look like this" (www.gamesradar.com)

I mean every other game in the series seemed to have been going for realism idk why this one would be different. It may have many technical improvements but imo that doesn't excuse things like skin that looks smooth as butter on almost every NPC lol

Not that I'm not excited, just a bit disappointed.

I've always seen gta games go for a stylised realism, never tried realism. This in, art style terms. looks exactly like GTA V

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah GTA has been stylistically a kind of 'hyperreality' where they exaggerate within a relatively realistic framework.

GTA 4 was definitely a more realistic take

It was gritty and grimy looking but still stylised, especially in the character faces

Yeah maybe you're right there, I'm not an artist so I don't know the terminology but looking back there were strong shaded features and such.

For some reason they ignored all the criticism of the trilogy remakes looking like absolute garbage and just dove into the aesthetic.
