Summary
As developers have worked on more powerful game engines and gaming hardware has improved to run more intensive titles, studios such as Rockstar have been able to put more detail into their games than ever before. This was particularly notable in its last major new release, 2018’sRed Dead Redemption 2, which was praised for its impressive visuals and detail-rich open-world, with an abundance of activities to partake in to provide hundreds of hours of immersive exploration.
One activity players will find themselves engaging in throughout the story and the open world is fighting, and this can be done with a variety of weapons including knives, revolvers, rifles, or just keeping it simple and using bare-knuckled fists. Most of these fights will go by in an instant, but as spotted by RedditorLiving-Category5295, Rockstar’s attention to detail is still very present, even if it will go unnoticed by most.
As Arthur was pulling back the bolt on the bolt action rifle, Living-Category5295 paused the game & went into photo mode, only to spot thatthere was a round in the chamber.Naturally, this would be the case with a real loaded gun, so it does add to the game’s impressive attention to detail, but as noted by Living-Category5295, with such a quick animation, it would have been completely understandable if they didn’t add it.
How Likely Is The Latest GTA 6 Release Rumor?
GTA 6 is highly anticipated, and therefore, its release date has been the topic of much speculation and plenty of rumors.
GTA 6 Is Set To Be Even More Detailed
Rockstar’s Been Building It On A New, More Powerful Game Engine
Studios are having to become more detail-oriented with the inclusion of Photo Modes for just this reason, aswhen playing a game and seeing it in motion, many details can be missed out, but once it’s frozen and players can zoom in on any area, as Living-Category5295 did with the bolt action rifle, any omissions can stand out more. It’s clear, however, that Rockstar’s next major release,Grand Theft Auto 6, is going to be far more detailed than any Rockstar game before it, evenRed Dead Redemption 2, with its reveal trailer already showing bustling streets and beaches across Vice City and the wider state of Leonida.
Rockstar is developingGTA 6on its new RAGE engine, which is reported to befar more powerful than the current RAGE engine that powersGTA 5,Red Dead Redemption 2,and their online modes. Given howRed Dead Redemption 2already offered an incredible amount of detail on its PS4 and Xbox One versions back in 2018 but was extremely demanding, particularly on the original launch versions of these consoles, it’s yet to be seen exactly how much more Rockstar can pack into its upcoming title, as it will only be launching on current-gen consoles in 2025, most likely with a PC release sometime in the year after.
It’s this level of detail and freedom to explore within an open-world game that has made theRed DeadandGTAseries so popular and has given them so much longevity, with players still loading up the likes ofGTA 5over a decade on from its original launch. WhileRed Dead Redemption 2was an impressive feat on its own, it’s understandable why fans can’t wait to see how Rockstar takes things to a whole new level withGTA 6.
