Thoughts on the GTA VI Netflix Gameplay footage: The game definitely looks technically excellent. Beautiful graphically, detailed, everything. The problem is the locations themselves are just...ugly. Everything is kind of grey and boggy. We get it's Miami, but it's not really pleasant to look at. It looks like they built a whole Forza game into GTA which is super interesting, they're clearly positioning GTA as a sandbox game for people to make their own games within. It felt like all the characters looked ugly? Did anyone else feel this? Both the male and female characters, even the ones that were suppose to specifically be "hot", still looked ugly. Is this a Sweet Baby Inc game? Also everyone seemed chubby. If you watch the trailer again you'll notice it, all the body proportions are sort of flabby and unflattering. Not sure why they did this. Probably for "realism" but...sometimes realism isn't fun. The biggest problem though was that the game felt like it was a "JOURNALISM MODE" game. It semed like it was all scripted cinematic events. If you notice even when it's the *actual* gameplay, the shooting reciptical auto-locks on to the enemies and guides you to a headshot every single time. It snaps to the right place. That compeltely defeats the purpose of the game. The game feels like it's being played on rails. Not like an actual game. Like a long interactive movie with a "Press R2 to smoke" or "press O to lift" type mechanic. Journalism mode. It looks like THANK GOD there may still be some good humor. The guy in the window humping the air with the VR headset was hilarious, and the influencer doing the "trunk challenge" was also hilarious, so glad some of the humor could still be in the game. It also seems like they took a monster effort to try to make dialogue seem as realistic as possible, the voice acting and dialogue seemed real and natural, especially with that celebrity drug guy in the car with Lucia and Jason. Overall impressions will be that the game is sort of a "Sony" style game, meaning it's going to be a journalism mode easy game, super cinematic, and less of a "gamer game" and more of a "fast and furious" family is everything themed game, with an obvious inevitable betrayal portion (speculating but come on) between Jason and Lucia, etc., until they end up working together again or some sort of classic hollywood slop. TLDR: It's visually incredible, dialogue super realistic, locations spot on, all of the TECHNICAL stuff great...but it is sort of intentionally aesthetically ugly, and seems like it will probably be a 8/10 game, not a 10/10 game, but will definitely be the best selling game of all time undoubtedly. What are your impressions? This is hot off the watch.
