Rockstar Games has provided clarification regarding the second trailer for GTA 6. While the visuals are indeed stunning, many have speculated that they are pre-calculated cinematics, leading to skepticism about their relevance. This speculation clearly affected the Scottish studio’s sense of pride, prompting them to address concerns directly. In a tweet, Rockstar Games confirmed that all footage was recorded on a standard PS5 (not even a Pro model). There is no PC optimization, no post-processing effects beyond what players can achieve, and no misleading practices as seen from certain publishers (often based in France): what you see is the actual gameplay experience. Rockstar specified that the trailer includes a mix of gameplay sequences and cinematics, all recorded on Sony’s console. This level of transparency is rare in the industry, where it is common practice to hide technical limitations with polished montages filmed on high-end machines. Here, the content is raw, real, and consequently more impressive for its honesty.
This second preview confirms the return of Vice City, modernized and expanded, integrated into the fictional state of Leonida, a satirical equivalent of Florida. Here, Lucia and Jason, a criminal duo similar to “Bonnie & Clyde,” face a society in decline marked by social networks, urban violence, and corruption交织成一片混乱。Rockstar 不仅仅在制作一款游戏，更是在勾勒一幅对当代美国辛辣讽刺的画卷。在一个短暂而富有诗意的场景中，Jason 站在他的屋顶上，手持工具。“我在修理一些漏水的地方。”他说。这只是一个无害的陈述吗？似乎并非如此。它似乎是2022年该游戏中大量泄露事件的一个直接引用。Rockstar 一如既往地以其逆向思维的方式选择以微妙的幽默重新掌控其叙事方向。
Initially scheduled for 2025, GTA 6 will now release on May 26, 2026. Rockstar justifies this decision by prioritizing finishing touches, aware of the immense expectations surrounding the title. With this trailer 2, Rockstar Games is not selling an unattainable dream. It showcases the game as it will be on a machine that millions of players already own. At a time when photorealism is a marketing battlefield, this transparency is a statement: GTA VI does not cheat. And if the rest of the game lives up to its promises, it could well redefine what “open world” means in entertainment.
