Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 [video]
- carlos-menezes 3y agoR* Games on Twitter[0]: Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube. [0]: https://twitter.com/RockstarGames/status/1731813331244085531 https://twitter.com/RockstarGames/status/1731813331244085531
- lairv 3y agoThey acted really quickly after the leak, I guess these studios already have plans in case of leaks
- mygrant 3y agoOr they "leaked" it themselves.
- lairv 3y agoWhy would they do that, have you seen the numbers their tweets made ? Everyone was already looking for the trailer tomorrow I don't think it's beneficial
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoThe word "leak" has had its definition diluted into meaningless. Many years ago, a "leak" was typically someone on the inside publishing something that wasn't supposed to go out. A leaker that got caught would likely face termination, and potentially a civil lawsuit for NDA violation. Back then, a leak meant something. But over time, simple announcements started to be called "leaks". It would not surprise me if there are "leaks" that seem to fit the original definition, but are actually leaked on purpose to build hype. Hard to say though, since there are frequently a lot of fake leaks.
- interestica 3y agoThose people were always going to watch. But now you get a load of curious onlookers who showed up because of the "leak" story. It raises the profile for those not aware of the game.
- lamontcg 3y agoBecause releasing the trailer this far ahead of a 2025 release date (that may very well slip) would seem a bit ridiculous, so it gets "leaked" instead.
- leadingthenet 3y agoIt leaked hours before it was due to release anyway.
- ortusdux 3y agoThey have had their share of leaks reciently: https://www.ign.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-leaks-may-have-just-come-from-a-rockstar-employees-son https://www.ign.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-leaks-may-ha...
- ZunarJ5 3y agoFlorida!!! Those are apparently in-game graphics!
- kelseyfrog 3y agoLooking forward to this. They seemed to capture the "Florida-man" vibes perfectly.
- MilStdJunkie 3y agoMy circle of buddies have been calling this "Floridaman: The Game" for some small time. It's probably worth noting we all hail originally from that sunny peninsula.
- Racing0461 3y agoAgreed, and it captured the demographic of florida without it looking forced. It met my expectations.
- nanolith 3y agoGTA: Vice City was one of my favorite games. It was glitchy in an endearing way. While I'm no longer much of a gamer, I'm happy to see that Vice City is one of the game locations.
- yrkque 3y agoMuch like the oversaturating tinted glasses in vice city’s pastiche of 70s Miami they seem to have nailed the aesthetic of its contemporary evolution
- bakugo 3y agoI remember when GTA was supposed to be a parody of modern America. Now it's just a realistic America simulator.
- SigmundA 3y agoTheir satire is always spot on. It has to have some version of Mar-a-lago and all that comes with it I hope. The possibilities for the space coast and Tesla satire are endless as well.
- nirav72 3y agoThe In-game AM Talk radio stations where one of the best parodies of modern America. At least back in the early 2010s when the game was released.
- sampli 3y agoIt looks pretty good ngl, not that big of an improvement over gta 5. I hope that they continue fivem community modding stuff and don't lock it down like many modern games do. 2025 release date is sad considering Gta 5 came out in 2013
- Glant 3y agoI believe Rockstar had been hiring staff in the UK for the FiveM project, so I think that's a good sign
- Schnitz 3y agoI don’t know. Sure 12 years between sequels is long but I’ll take that over an annualized franchise any day. But boy, I thought I was old when GTA 5 launched…
- jack_riminton 3y agoHow do you have any idea that it's not a big improvement over gta 5?
- peruvian 3y agoGraphics and especially NPC density is way beyond what V could do.
- rvschuilenburg 3y ago> I hope that they continue fivem community modding stuff and don't lock it down like many modern games do. Part of me is hopeful their recent acquisition of FiveM means they will have the FiveM be part of GTA VI for PC before the launch. Ideally they'd be able to port over all their native functions to the GTA VI engine. That way we could have an active RP community on GTA VI nearly from the start. Another part of me is fearful of them shutting down FiveM with the launch of GTA VI. I'm sure they don't like the idea of people obtaining in-game money without purchasing any Shark cards. They could bring it as some sort of "We worked hard with the FiveM team to make FiveM part of GTA VI from launch, with GTA VI having all features to support a roleplaying community", and then shutting down the mod and disabling all external scripting.
- mrtksn 3y agoAny info on the platforms that the game will be released on? Would be great if Apple can make them support macOS natively. GTA V is playable using GPTK on M1 Macbook Air, technical issues shouldn't be that big.
- carlos-menezes 3y agoI assume current generation consoles and PC at some later date.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- TulliusCicero 3y agoWould be nice, but historically Mac OS has been indifferent or even hostile to game devs, seems like.
- mrtksn 3y agoApple is trying to change that, they are now working with studios and brought some AAA games to the Mac and even iPhone. They also released Game Porting Tool Kit, which essentially allows you to run high end Windows games.
- TulliusCicero 3y agoRight, I've seen that. It does look somewhat promising, but Apple has briefly acted like they were pro-games before, and the situation with Macs still seems pretty dire. I'm not a game dev, but from what I've heard, developing for Macs is typically harder, and Apple doesn't seem to give a shit. I'd love to see official Apple support for, say, external GPU's to try and compensate for the lack of customizability on low-end and mid-range Macs. That'd be something that would feel like a real olive branch, since that's one of the weaknesses for Macs, how expensive it is to get built-in powerful GPU's.
- k12sosse 3y agoI like how you chose your words. "If Apple could make them".. not entice.. make reasonable reductions of barriers.. enter the market segment for gamers.. but, no. Apple will make them. Think differently bro.
- sammyteee 3y ago1.5m likes in 15 minutes is crazy.
- carlos-menezes 3y agoI have zero doubts this is going to surpass 50M views within 24h. Going for the record would be a stretch, but it'd still rank 14th in the list of videos with most views in the first 24 hours.
- crazygringo 3y ago28M views in just 4h already. So it's easily going to make the top 10 of all time for views in first 24h, and will be the only non-music video to do so (in the current list): https://www.alphr.com/most-viewed-youtube-video-in-24-hours/ https://www.alphr.com/most-viewed-youtube-video-in-24-hours/ (#10 is 61.4M. #1 is 108M.)
- henriquecm8 3y agoIt's at 67 millions right now, that would put it on 8th place. There's still 11 hours to go, so it should go up a few more places.
- crazygringo 3y ago90.1 million while it still says 23h. That puts it at the new #3 rank of all time. Wow.
- ttul 3y agoTry $1B in one day when it releases!
- Racing0461 3y agoIt was a premiere video so it was a placeholder until tomorrow at 9am. Rockstar just made it public but it was racking up likes before that.
- 3y ago
- asylteltine 3y agoI hope that footage is the actual engine because it looks amazing not just the graphics but the animations
- TulliusCicero 3y agoAlmost certainly in-engine cinematics.
- kevingadd 3y agoAlmost certainly in-engine. At this point there's not much reason to do offline renders without using your engine if you're a studio like Rockstar - you already have tools for building cinematics and your game engine can scale quality and level of detail, etc. The same people who do your in-game cinematics can (if you choose to go that way) apply their talents to your trailers. GTA5 has built in recording and editing functionality too, so things like adjusting camera angles after you've recorded a sequence are trivial. I have no doubt all the same tooling is available to the GTA6 dev team, even if the game won't ship with it accessible to players. Of course once you've got footage out of engine, it's probably spliced together with transitions and voiceover in Adobe Premiere or Davinci Resolve, but that's pretty normal.
- ushakov 3y agoDoesn’t look that impressive to me. Looks like GTA V engine with different skybox and color grading
- SigmundA 3y agoThe mo-cap looks much better to me.
- kevingadd 3y agoAside from whether the term "GTA V engine" is meaningful when that game came out 10 years ago and has had plenty of ports and engine upgrades since... The lighting model and materials are meaningfully different in multiple ways. This footage is in a separate class from GTA 5. Look at https://youtu.be/QdBZY2fkU-0?t=21 https://youtu.be/QdBZY2fkU-0?t=21 for example, just off the top of my head glancing at it: * The beach sand is highly detailed both from a texturing perspective (you can see tracks and footprints everywhere) and from a geometric perspective. This kind of terrain detail isn't a thing in GTA5, they use much coarser terrain so there's probably new tech being applied there. The way shadows interact with this terrain is much more realistic than GTA5-era tech, you can see the shifts in elevation deform the character shadows. * The material and lighting model for skin/hair is vastly improved over 5. If you look at the three women in the left foreground you can see each of them have meaningfully different hair texture and skin appearance, with subsurface scattering evident for the skin along with a good combination of both realistic specular and diffuse light. If you pull up a screenshot of Franklin from GTA 5, his hair and skin rendering is simply on a different level from this, and he's a main character so he got plenty of art attention. * The level of detail here exceeds that of comparable scenes in GTA5. Higher numbers of characters animating and interacting with the environment, and lots of environment detail. Of course regular day-to-day gameplay won't necessarily be like this - there are good design reasons why it shouldn't be, and this is a cinematic - but this is stuff that engine didn't really do. Crowds of this nature are historically a real technical achievement and you really only see them in games like Hitman or GTA as a result of a lot of engineering and tech art work. * The water is far more detailed than anything GTA5's water model is capable of, both in terms of rendering fidelity (especially reflections) and geometric detail. The people standing in the water both cast shadows on the water and have reflections in the water. (These look like they're probably screen-space reflections... IIRC GTA5 primarily relies on skybox reflections, which wouldn't achieve this. They might be combining both, or pairing one of the two with ray-tracing.) * The draw distance is extreme. You can see a lot of fine detail in the far distance, and it wouldn't be legible like that in GTA5 even with the settings cranked up. * The atmospheric/lens stuff at work here is good too. You have a haze on the far detail combined with a very good looking depth of field blur and motion blur for fast moving objects like the helicopter. Some of the lower hanging clouds look like they're actually passing in front of the buildings. * Some sort of high fidelity global illumination model, or a good approximation of it, appears to be at work here. You can see it on the underside of the umbrellas and their poles, where the umbrella itself is gently occluding ambient/sun light from the underside and the pole, without casting 'hard' shadows like the characters do. I don't see the kind of artifacts normally associated with traditional screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) techniques in this footage, and GTA 5 relied heavily on SSAO with a fairly ugly implementation. If they're still using SSAO it's vastly improved here.
- Probiotic6081 3y agoGTA VI confirmed!!
- ttul 3y agoRumour has it that the NPCs will engage in realistic dialogues with the player that are generated by an LLM. By the time this game releases, running a reasonable LLM locally would not be out of the question. That alone would greatly increase the realism of the game.
- TulliusCicero 3y agoHmm, I dunno. Is it practical to do that while the GPU is also busy with, y'know, rendering the game?
- jack_riminton 3y agoGPUs render games too?
- kevingadd 3y agoThe modern NVIDIA cards have dedicated silicon for deep learning workloads, used for features like DLSS or RTX Voice. So you could theoretically tap into that for such a feature without meaningfully lowering the game's framerate. AFAIK Apple also includes similar accelerator hardware in their modern chips. For people who have integrated AMD or Intel GPUs attached to their main CPU, it's also possible to tap into that thing for compute workloads even if your game isn't running onto it.
- grogenaut 3y agoYou're thinking about it on a PC. Rockstar isn't known for releasing for PC first, or well even stably for PC in the first year. So unless the PS5 and XBoX have this setup, which they don't really, I don't think they'll lean into this.
- TulliusCicero 3y ago> The modern NVIDIA cards have dedicated silicon for deep learning workloads, used for features like DLSS or RTX Voice. So you could theoretically tap into that for such a feature without meaningfully lowering the game's framerate. But...what if you're already using that for DLSS? Can you do that at the same time?
- GenerWork 3y agoI really hope that they include a knockoff of the Tampa Bay area. We're overdue for some Rockstar satire being directed our way.
- SigmundA 3y agoWell the leaked maps show a "St Joseph Marina" roughly where a St Petersburgh should be, although it shows mountains in Pasco...
- smegsicle 3y agosix already? i didn't even know five was out
- 0max 3y agoYou can get a weekly universal basic income in online mode for five if you have an Amazon Prime account
- yuppie_scum 3y agoIt’s only been 11 years
- bottlepalm 3y ago2025 wow.. what will come first, the singularity or GTA 6?
- Sarkie 3y agoIn 30 days it's coming next year ...
- temp0826 3y agoThe answer used to be "Duke Nukem Forever" but I think it changed to HL3 after it actually came out.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoAnd whooo boy was it a let-down. One of the reasons Duke Nukem was so popular was the shock value. When the sequel took 15 years to come out, it was just cringey. It had the same vibe as your creepy uncle telling the same sexist jokes at Thanksgiving.
- gary_0 3y ago> When the sequel took 15 years to come out, it was just cringey Nothing makes me feel more ancient than when I watch/play something from the 2000's that I found funny and edgy at the time, and now it... just doesn't hit. I want to still enjoy it, but I also find myself kind of rolling my eyes. On the other hand, when you revisit something you enjoyed back then and it still holds up in spite of the limitations of the time, you feel a new respect for it. But not many things hold their luster after so many years.
- henriquecm8 3y agoSingularity came out in 2010, it was made by Raven software /s
- singularity2001 3y agoGPT 6 or GTA 6 that is the question
- gyrate 3y ago[dead]
- UberFly 3y agoInstead of the weird cultists in the mountains, we'll get to go to Clearwater and meet the cultist mafia.
- lemoncookiechip 3y agoSeems like we're gonna have a Bonnie and Clyde storyline of sorts.
- Racing0461 3y agoThis is gonna be good.
- haunter 3y agofr looks mid, doesn't have any rizz no cap
- frfl 3y agois this English?
- lvl102 3y agoAmazing how one company has trailblazed an entire industry for the past two decades.
- mikhael28 3y agoThis is going to be a big step forward for women in videogames - namely, women playing them. The story seems to be hinting at a love story between the two characters, and seems to heavily imply that co-op gaming will be a big part of the experience. Imagine, the man who is obsessed with videogames and especially GTA, will be able to play through the whole game together with his girl. They will be, literally, partners in crime. It could inspire a brand new generation of female gamers, who never had the patience to sit through the ingenious yet childish caricature of America that the previous games ushered in.
- fennecfoxy 3y agoAs a gay man I still play games that don't have gay characters in them (even though I wish there were more). I don't believe women differ from myself at all and I don't think the character's background matters as long as the general platform is diverse. I'm sure women will play games with female main characters, male main character etc in the same way that I'll play games with straight main characters and gay main characters alike. Seems kind of sexist to imply otherwise, and your proposed scenario is so heteronormative: the woman too impatient to play other GTAs is only playing this one because it because it has a female character and she's a woman so that's who she should play, and it's appealing to her because the story revolves around the relationship between a man and a woman and that's what women like. Na, don't think so.
- mikhael28 3y ago‘As long as the general platform is diverse’ Which frankly does not describe the history of what GTA offers. All male characters, all gangster/mob/drug dealer archetypes. Do your seriously not believe a change in tone, story and character wouldn’t bring in new fans? Who found the old tone childish and immature - hard to relate with? Give me a break.
- ionwake 3y agoYou’re saying you hope this game inspires impatient females? I’m honestly not trolling - isn’t a statement like this inherently sexist? Why would women not like a “childish” game? I know you didn’t mean to offend but I’m unsure of the message I’m getting the impression the way culture is heading is there is to be less focusing on differences Please correct me if I’m wrong
- speedylight 3y agoThis is great. GTA is the only place I’ve ever been a billionaire.
- SigmundA 3y agoThe satire is so good, pausing at that right time reveals a billboard for: > Angstipan - It Cures Emotions! - Americas favorite dissociative. With a depiction of a pill hugging a bad emotion I think. Then there is the old guy watering his lawn in a speedo and poker dealers hat, and of course the gator walking into the mini mart.
- getcrunk 3y agoIt’s a super short trailer but I am very underwhelmed by the graphics. It looks like a minor upgrade. Not a 2x generational leap. Mass market major corp playing it safe and over optimizing for broader than broad compatibility?
- miamibre 3y agoIt's great to finally have a GTA game take place in a place I have intimate knowledge since I only moved here recently. A few things that I am hoping for: -There better be a LOT of strip clubs, it's pretty bonkers that even where I live which is 30+ minutes away from Miami proper there are at least 5+ clubs in any direction -I like that they captured the rednecky vibe and nonstop college party vibe from central / northern Florida -I hope they explore the different Latin american communities outside of haitians and cubans. Venezuelans, Colombians, Argentinians, and Puerto Ricans are very numerous here and all are very distinct in terms of culture and social status -Also hope they don't shy away from showing Jewish and Russian communities since they are very prominent in Aventura / West Palm Beach -Biggest worry is that Florida is the flattest state and coming from GTA 5 and RDR 2 the mountains were my favorite areas, I saw some potential leaked maps that hinted at going to nearby islands and or a different country so maybe that will offer hiking / off road opportunities -Also i'm pretty sure they are going to have a Disney / Universal Theme park and I genuinely hope they make it very lively with lots of roller coasters and more lively than the one in GTA 5 Overall very excited but it's a shame that PC isn't going to be a launch platform so I'm probably going to have to wait until 2026 or beyond.[1] [1] https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/rockstar-games-announces-grand-theft-auto-vi-coming-2025 https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/rockstar-games-announces-...
- _sys49152 3y agoin the trailer video... 28 seconds in... the building with the artwork of the eyes above the storefront. that looks like its in wynwood gardens in miami... i remember seeing those exact eyes! but i didnt think it was a store front....and i found it! irl i got a photo of those same exact eyes, looking the opposite way. across the street from 915 first ave north st petersburg fl. google maps shows that area all torn down in 2023 and the wall painted white but you can click 2019 and see for yourself. just exciting to see for me personally. all of what ive seen in the trailer looks exactly like miami irl. brickell, keys, south beach etc.
- accrual 3y agoI enjoyed how often the gators made appearances. The graphical fidelity is also spectacular for the scale of the game. I may end up building a contemporary rig just to play it on max.
- 2-718-281-828 3y agothat feels painfully uncanny valley.
- Quinzel 3y agoI sorta stopped playing GTA after GTA IV… but this actually looks really cool. I think I’ll give it a go!
- raspyberr 3y agoSo is this a trailer for a new TV show? I don't see anything that says anything about the game.
