GTA 6 Graphics Criticism Prompts Response From a Large Number of Studios

[ad_1]

Premature criticisms of GTA 6 graphics based on the recent high-profile leak have irked developers across the industry. One particular egregious comment came from a Twitter user who claimed that since graphics are the first thing finished in a video game, GTA 6 will look about as good as the leaks suggest. The user evidently hasnt played a Rockstar Games title before but that wont be necessary considering that a large number of developers decided to correct them with some pretty convincing examples.

The controversy surrounding GTA 6 graphics

If you knew how game development goes, youd know that visuals are one of the first things done, wrote the Twitter user who has since made their profile private. This game is four years into planning and development. What you see is almost exactly what you will get. Not quite, my guy.

Remedy Entertainment wasnt having it:

Since graphics are the first thing finished in a video game, and CONTROL won multiple awards for excellence in graphics, here is footage from the beginning of development

Turtle Rock Studios wasnt so sure about that claim either:

People Can Fly disagreed, too:

We heard that graphics are the first thing finished in a video game.

Asobo Studio weighed in on the matter:

And so did Bungie:

Don’t ever trigger Game Devs, especially when they know nothing about their work.

There’s a lot more in this thread by Insider Gaming, if youre curious. But the gist of it is that telling developers how to do their jobs without having any knowledge of game development isn’t a great idea, especially not on social media unless you enjoy getting roasted in public.
