Edit: Original link was removed for Rule 6, but the YouTube version is up now anyways. Edited to replace the link because it'd be a shame for good discussion to be lost.

Reported for spam

They linked to the gamespot YouTube video, resolving the issue.

Leaving up.

They should mark this as movie trailer with spoilers. I pretty much played it on skip and saw maybe 1 minute of gameplay without story.

"Log-in to validate your age" nah.
You couldn't pay me to create an account there.

Someone upload it please?

[–] hirihit640@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I posted it to c/piracy on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Not sure if linking the post will break rule 6 here

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

It would. I initially had this post pointing to a Streamable link during the exclusivity window, but it was removed for Rule 6. Not sure how that rule interacts with alternate YouTube frontends like Invidious, but I'm not going to press my luck.

If anyone wants an unauthorized stream that bypasses YouTube and Netflix, they're not hard to find with a simple web search. If that's too much effort, you're not missing much anyways.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It'll be the same as the last 3 games. Who gives a shot?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip -2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

To be fair, GTA 4 required mods to look halfway decent.

Edit: 4, not 3.

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 4 points 3 hours ago

I don't think you played GTA 3 when it came out.

[–] IckabodKobain@feddit.online 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don't connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it's a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.

Graphically... it looks great. If what we're seeing isn't just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.

The dudes voice I don't like. Apparently I'm not the only person judging by some of the comments I've read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they're somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn't match what we're seeing as the Model.

Eh. Anyways whatever. I'm old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I'm not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That's just me though.

It says captured on ps5 at the very end

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Well it's releasing on the PS5 so it would be pretty dumb if it doesn't actually work on the PS5. Anyway what the mostly showed was cut scenes and they are easy to optimize because anything that's literally not on screen can just be unloaded.

[–] caseofthematts@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I remember when the very first teaser came out for this and people were going wild. I asked in a streamers chat (first mistake) if there was any actual in-game gameplay footage or it was just a CGI/cutscene and the streamer chewed me out lol. "Let people be excited about things!"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

To be clear there is a difference between pre-rendered cut scenes and in game cut scenes. I'm pretty sure everything we saw, and have seen so far, has all been in game cut scenes.

But still I suspect that the game won't be the same quality out of cutscenes as it is in cut scenes. Most games actually have two different character models depending on if you're using it for gameplay or cut scenes, and it's how GTA IV did it.

Lucia is awesome! I look forward to playing it (in 2 years)

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 5 hours ago

Yeah when they release it for the ps6

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Seems like a good game but the expensive price plus the fact it will be 30FPS on launch is a no-go for me. Will wait for PC release (if that ever comes?). Got enough backlog games anyway.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn't GTA V initially released running at 30 FPS?

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If you were lucky. That game was barely playable on the Xbox 360.

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I don't know who down-voted you but i remember the game struggling when driving in a fast car or a jet when i played on the 360.

I'm not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.

[–] lemmelemmy@feddit.org -1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It’s mostly take two. Not rockstar. yes rockstar have sacked lotsa people but the people who made the decisions are basically peons of take two. All the credit goes to take two imo.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 5 hours ago

It's Rockstar if they really care they could put their foot down, they have the cred to get whatever they want.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

Note that they didn't say they wouldn't be playing it
