Analysis of the trailer for GTA 5 with PS Showcase

Expected at PlayStation Showcase among others the trailer was presented “Expanded and improved” GTA 5… The web has already disassembled the video frame by frame in detail, and we are putting it all together.

The show GTA 5 Expanded & Enhanced received the most negative reviews and comments from the premiere of the event, and also became one of the lowest rated of all Rockstar Games videos. On the R * YouTube channel, the trailer first had more likes than dislikes, then the figures were equal (21,000 each), and after a day and a half the ratio was as follows: 26 thousand “thumbs up” and 45 thousand “thumbs down”. There is nothing to be surprised at – the players felt that the new version of the game had too few differences from the one on the PC. Only a few details got better, and, therefore, it was worth releasing the reissue as a separate game? Now some studios are practicing the release of upgrades, including free ones, which bring the game purchased earlier for PS4 to the level of PS5. Take-Two, of course, has its own vision of the situation: for the “five”, which is about to turn 8 years old, players have to pay as for a new one. The company itself has already announced that the postponement of the reissue will not worsen her financial statements for the time remaining before the release.

The rendering looks like it will get a little better. The lights of the city at night can be seen all the way to the horizon.

Perhaps we are facing a new level of difficulty in GTA: finish the case in Paleto without ammo. With screenshots, Rockstar has a jumbled experience (watch how quickly the smoke cleared through the windows).

Drawing the city at night is good, but where did the Rebel Radio tower and the trees around it go? ..

Smoke and fire will be more, and their appearance will be more natural.

The effect of broken glass will be visible, but the shards look just the same disgusting.

Some GTA guys didn’t like how the shadows looked in the scene with Michael and Amanda.

Switching between characters is faster and looks smoother, but these are too minor improvements.

Explosions are brighter and more spectacular, so that the enticement of “explosive action” does not seem so tortured.

Players were surprised by the yellow numbers, but some blame it on a bug. And the conspiracy theorists saw in this frame a secret message, they say 61SAL890 is 6 is a late 90’s. Which can be translated as: “The actions of GTA 6 will be in the late 90s.” Then we can assume such an option, much more realistic: “GTA 6 will be released in the 90s” …

But the worst thing that awaits us in the next re-release is not that this is just a slightly “tweaked” PC version of the game, but, it seems, full-fledged censorship. In the apartment where Trevor was visiting Floyd, there was a board with an inscription that did not characterize Debra in the best way. It seems, we were not so wrong… It seems like a watershed moment in Rockstar Games history where the developers, with their quality work and their trademark unprincipled humor, will either back down under the pressure of Take-Two and trends, or listen to the community. But in the second of the day, to believe less and less …
