GTA 6 Trailer Sparks Concerns Over Console Compatibility
The controversy surrounding the trailer has highlighted the intense attention and scrutiny that the GTA series receives from fans, who are eager to see the game meet their high expectations. With the game's release date approaching, fans will be watching closely to see if Rockstar Games can deliver on its promises.
The latest trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has raised concerns among fans about the game's console compatibility, with some wondering if the game's graphics will be compromised on older consoles. Despite these concerns, the developers have assured that the game has been optimized to run smoothly on all devices.
A recent tweet from the developer revealed that the trailer was recorded on a PS5 and included equal parts of cutscene and gameplay. This has alleviated some concerns, but fans are still skeptical about the game's performance on consoles. Meanwhile, a YouTuber has uncovered a patent filed by Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, which reveals new innovations in character animations.
The patent suggests that the game engine will be able to create animations for characters of different weights and builds, which will allow for more customization options in the game. The new technology will also enable the studio to create more animations for the single-player mode and allow online players to customize the height and weight of their avatars. This could potentially add a new layer of depth to the game's online multiplayer mode.
However, a minor lighting bug in the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has sparked a meme frenzy among fans, with some jokingly cancelling their pre-orders. The glitch, which causes the muzzle flash from a pistol to light up the car interior and surroundings before the gun is fired, has been spotted at the 1:50 point in the trailer. Despite the scrutiny, pre-orders for the highly anticipated game remain unaffected.
Rockstar Games' CEO Strauss Zelnick has reaffirmed the studio's commitment to creating a standout experience, stating that the company is "attempting to make the greatest thing anybody's ever seen in entertainment." The game's development has been marred by delays, but the company is determined to deliver a game that meets its lofty goals. The game is set to release on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
