Me too. I've been wondering if they'd go super safe and they have. I didn't think they'd go this safe, they are crafting this game for the kids and GTA online sadly. Is the best they can vome up with is an everyday conversation like "seriously dude, you got time on your hands" and "hey...hey" and "ring the bells" "if we are doing this we are doing it right". "You and me, we got this". "Vice cityyyy babyyy" and "hey" again.

You can tell the writing team from RDR2 and GTA V is gone. 

It certainly doesn't feel like Natural Born Killers or True Romance material, more like a TikTok Bonny and Clyde.

You can already see the game is made for streaming and short videos to advertise itself. This is no GTA 4 story which would be a lot more relevant today, dodging ICE and MAGA etc. Yeah it does feel very safe with everything that is and has been going on.

Maybe there's still some satire in the radio stations or random comedy along the way. This looks at most to be a caricature of yesterday rather than the nihilistic satire GTA became known for.

It's pretty, it's open world mayhem, it will sell well for the next decade. The game is too big to risk pissing certain groups off, it has to be safe. Mild caricature instead of satirical parody. 

Exactly. Doesn't have to be as gritty or out there as True Romance but a bit of grit is needed. Instead it basis itself in Internet culture instead of real culture and removes any crime culture, instead we'll get wanna be gangster vibes from the characters. Zero faith in this title.

Digital foundry have now analysed the trailer:

- Captured on a standard PS5, not a Pro.
- Most if not all shots are being rendered in real time.
- Footage in trailer is letterboxed, running at 2560x1152 resolution.
- Uses some form of upscaling. Looks like spatial upscaling (FSR1).
- Ray Tracing Global Illumination
- Ray Traced Reflections
- Speculate it's too big for Switch 2, they don't expect the ROG Ally X or Steam Deck will be able to run it either.

It looks like Rockstar are going to do what they did with RDR2 again, a game that made you wonder how the hell it ran looking like that on a console that's 5+ years old.

If the game really is using something akin to FSR1 for the standard PS5, and this isn't changed by launch, then PS5 Pro boost in image quality could be huge with PSSR support.

With certain games there's been (mostly stupid) discussion about whether game characters should/must be as good looking and sexy as possible.
This is one case where I feel they are too Hollywood perfect, that bit more rough around the edges leads would've been better.
