In one part of the clip, we see a middle-aged woman with hammers in both hands, telling the player menacingly: “Well, look who’s back.”įans believe the inspiration for the character was a viral video clip which saw a “Karen” confronting a neighbour and trying to intimidate them by holding a hammer in each hand.

(Although a PC release for GTA 6 is still yet to be confirmed.) Unsurprisingly, that groundbreaking level of detail requires some fairly clever use of current-day tech, with York saying that Rockstar is at the bleeding edge of utilising hardware - and having that account for GTA 6 having to run on consoles now a few years into their lifecycle, as well as top-end PC rigs. “I’m really impressed by how far they’re bringing the graphics for an in-game version of this.” “Everything looks very good for in-game,” he said. In general, the level of detail on GTA 6’s character models came in for a wealth of praise, with York pointing out the fidelity of gold chains, pockmarked skin and dreadlocks in one scene and a bikini-clad character in another as a good example of the detail given to NPCs who aren’t even main characters (as far as we know, anyway).

The map is about almost 2x the size of the GTA V map. The game is set in the modern day, after the events of GTA V. “When you play this game, it’s really gonna look like this. GTA 6 is confirmed to be located in Vice City (Miami) and the state of Leonida (Florida), with a very large map. In other words, what we see in the GTA 6 trailer is how things will look when we’re actually playing the game in terms of detail, lighting, animation and other visual fidelity. Reacting to the GTA 6 reveal trailer on his YouTube channel (thanks for the spot, VG247), York started by clarifying that the Grand Theft Auto devs always opt to render things in-engine rather than bumping up the visuals of cutscenes, meaning that “everything that you see in a GTA game is all done in-game.
