After yesterday's massive gameplay demonstration, authors began comparing Rockstar's new game with the previous installment. In many aspects, GTA 6 truly looks like a next-generation project. The difference in world density is particularly noticeable: Vice City is filled with residents, cars, and many small details.
At the same time, Rockstar has not abandoned its familiar style. Recognizable animations, character movements, and other elements have been preserved – GTA VI still looks like GTA, only significantly more detailed and realistic.
It is important to consider that GTA V was released in 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360. Subsequent versions improved the graphics, although the core of the game was created for consoles that are now more than ten years old. During this time, Rockstar has gained several generations of more powerful hardware.
The first comparisons clearly show the scale of progress. Now it remains to be seen how much this leap is felt directly during gameplay.
