Ex-Rockstar Dev On GTA 6’s Trailer: “It’s Going To Look Just Like This”

The GTA 6 reveal trailer has been out for over a day, and many content creators have reacted to it. The former Rockstar Games dev Mike York also takes a deep dive, sharing valuable insights and tidbits for the fans in the process. The animator behind GTA 5 has satisfied arguably one of the biggest dilemmas some fans had with the trailer. Yes, the entirety of the trailer is in-game footage, and no cinematic visuals were utilized. 

Around the 6:45 mark, the dev even went as far as to say, “When you play this game, it is really going to look just like this.” And if we take Rockstar Games‘ previous achievements into account, GTA 6 will likely look even better than the trailer footage when it releases. Many recent AAA entries by the studio were ahead of their times in the trailer, only to appear even better after launch.

Mike added that the artists of the title know how to push the consoles and hardware to their maximum limit with their level of detail (LODs). He ensured that GTA 6 is going to be no exception in this department. Additionally, the dev gives the example of one of the NPCs that appear in the trailer, clarifying that she looks highly realistic visually despite not being a main character; it will apparently be the same for all the NPCs.

The ex-Rockstar Games animator also mentions that the team is going all out in parodying modern-day Miami. GTA 6 will reportedly feature characters that are fun and fleshed out. At the end of the day, the trailer has shown only the gist of what’s to come. Comparisons have also revealed that many scenes depicted in the trailer were based on real life.
