GTA 6 is finally upon us, or at least that’s what we hope! Fans’ excitement is at its height, but a shadow hangs over this insatiable wait: what if this new opus does not meet all our expectations? Between technological promises, unrealistic expectations and nostalgia for old titles, the hype could well turn into disenchantment. Prepare to explore the nightmares and dreams of an open world that could reveal, behind its impeccable facade, unexpected disappointments. Hold on tight, because this journey into the heart of the giant GTA 6 hype could hold some surprises!
Excessive expectations?
With each announcement from Rockstar, players are in turmoil. The wait for GTA 6 is more than palpable! However, recent news suggests possible disenchantment with what fans imagined. Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij warns of the risk of massive disappointment, saying that the technological leap that players are hoping for may not be up to par.
Stagnant technological development
It’s true that technological advances don’t seem to be happening at the same speed as before. Vermeij points out that advances in computing are much less spectacular than when consoles like the PlayStation debuted. Here are some things to consider:
- The PlayStation 1 to 2 transition was huge
- The difference between PlayStation 4 and 5 seems less impressive
- Major technological leaps have become rare
A new level of realism?
While animation and AI improvements are expected, players should prepare for an experience that might not shake up the franchise’s foundations. Vermeij himself acknowledges the advances, but fears that they will not meet the expectations of fans, who are hoping for a revolution.
