I saw the car video and thought it looked decent enough......was surprised the language in the audio was similar to 5 and not watered down snowflake BS. Looking forward to playing it but at the same time if they don't release any single-player DLC I feel like it's going to be a disappointment overall.

They probably make way too much money off the online stuff to be bothered but I really enjoyed the DLC.

I haven't preordered it yet but I imagine getting my money's worth won't be the issue.

Kinda crazy all these years later and cp2077 still looks like the only game pushing the graphical envelope. That engine is an all timer

Graphics look pretty mid tbh

Actually thought they looked fairly good considering it's the console version. No jankyness or slowdown even with the crashes or spins, looked fairly fluid. Assuming it was on a pro. Be interesting to see the DF videos of comparisons of the regular PS compared to the pro. My plan is still to wait for the PC release.

PS5/pro are going to run this like hot garbage.

Depends on how good the game is at scaling i guess. As mentioned earlier in this thread, CP2077 (REDengine 4.0) has some insane scalability where the settings actually match the computer required. Max settings need a top end computer (even by todays standards) to even be remotely playable, but medium settings can be run on mid tier systems and same goes for low. It is 60fps on performance mode on the regular PS5, but still such a good engine/optimized that it looks good on lower settings.

No idea if the RAGE engine can do the same, or if they need to make it look like garbage as you say to get the FPS up, or if it won't really scale that way so you'll have big FPS drops once you get into city/high density areas and not just a little road like showed on the video. Didn't GTA 5 have a massive drop in visible cars and such on console compared to PC?

CP ran so bad on PS5 at launch they had to refund a ton of customers.

I understand them showing a demo with low-medium settings, since PS5 won't even be able to do medium and they don't want to get people hyped for something that is going to be a slideshow.

I mean, IDK what y'all are expecting. The gameplay here is going to be near identical to GTA5. The only thing that makes the game here is the new location, vibes, characters, interactions, and so on. The core gameplay of stealing cars, shooting stuff, driving fast, and all that I don't expect much from.

If this doesn't include parcour its going to be shit by todays standards.

GTA5 had dogshit aiming, car control is bad, .. they had better up their game.

I'm expecting a flop. Not financially of course, but it's been in dev too long

Then I suggest you prepare to be disappointed my good man.

I will rate this game by how many diversity characters and woke bullshit ends up in it. Each such interaction drops it down a peg.

3 years longer than 5.

while that’s a decent chunk, it’s their most ambitious project to date. With most buildings having accessible interiors that are all unique, that alone is going to add a lot of work.

I’m curious what has you expecting a flop? Their track record is one of the best in the entire gaming industry. Is that why? “They gotta make a shitter at some point”?

I don’t understand why so many here think it’s going to be bad other than typical FoH cynical thinking.

Honestly just worried about DEI and BLM crap that games force in and it ruins things.

in a game where you can beat hookers to death, I’m not sure DEI ever really been a worry with them, but who knows I guess?

I don’t think they ever ever been overtly political with anything they do. Not saying it won’t be in there, their games usually mirror while also mocking a lot of things in the real world in a way that’s usually funny.

The game itself wont be bad. That is not the argument I see anyone here making. The gameplay will be good, the setting will be good. The bad parts will be reflected in today's Rockstar staff and their inability to write interesting characters.

There will not be a totally unhinged Trevor type character in this game. There will neither be a Lamar in this game. There is too much corporate sanitization and wokeness in the studio to enable such characters to be written. This can be seen in what they have made since GTA5 with the same kind of issues. This is across the AAA industry mind you, not just Rockstar.
