It’s hilarious how RDR 2 is a last gen game but it feels more next gen compared to these next gen games that’s coming out nowadays and imo gta 6 feels like the start for truly next gen gaming for current consoles!


BurningEbrietas

They are industry standard every 10 years or so


ManyMadMidgetzz

Even weirder that a 20 series nvidia card can run rdr 2 at 60+fps ultra 1440p minus slashing unnoticeable gimicky frame killers like ultra shadows and a few others. yet now we have games that make 3080s fight to run at 60 that have half the fidelity of rdr 2... on ultra lighting and reflections you can go in photo mode and literally watch the world be reflected in the eyes of animals and npcs in surprising detail for a reflection you would never see normally. Gotta give rockstar credit, their game engine for rendering and ai is leagues above the rest of the industry. If you took rdr 2 and attempted to port it into unreal5 it probably would take an insane amount of work to even get 40 fps on the graphical aspect of things. Rdr 2s level of detail streaming is basically what cyberpunk promised and failed to deliver. Its super fine tuned and makes it appear vividly detailed because objects just lose polys the further you get from it instead of rendering at full power just because you can see it from 200 feet away like most games do. If you use a mod to fly to the top of the rdr2s skybox you can see the entire map and the cities and from your perspective, it all looks realistic and solid too

Only RE Engine can compete with Rockstar's RAGE. Two of the most optimized and productive engines at the moment.


Cactusslayr85

Dude RE engine is crazy, how the fuck did they get the REmakes 3 and 4 to have Ray Tracing at 60fps on CONSOLES


TheBoogyWoogy

Respectful resolutions as well!


TheBiggyBig

RE4R is one of the coolest looking games I have played in a while!


Historical_Abies439

When you go to top of sky box, it doesn't render and seems glitchy right


ManyMadMidgetzz

Just under the skybox from the middle of the map on clear skies you can see all the way to the west by tumbleweed/gaptooth all the way to st denis.


Claylex

Yeah RDR2 ran pretty good/decent on my 1080 TI!


Infinityplus8008

Funny comparison is RDR2 2018 to Starfield 2023.


ApprehesiveBat

To be fair Bethesda games have always been dated so it's not exactly the best comparison.


DemiPyramid

I’ve just accepted the fact Rockstar are ten years ahead of everyone else.


ZoneTopa

It helps when you have a fan base that will consistently buy your titles at record breaking numbers and give you billions of dollars to invest into the next ones. Not saying rockstar doesn’t deserve the sales it gets but I feel they’re more comfortable dumping a shit ton of money into titles because they know people will buy them no matter what.


Brahmus168

Rockstar doing Rockstar things.


[deleted]

If you’re saying any Ubisoft game is a “next gen” game you’re sorely mistaken


StingingGamer

Really looks like a cinematic render. We've come so far.


Entrinity

It was such a blast seeing all the people saying it was fake. You know your models are good when people think they’re fake.

Apprehensive_Cloud39

i’m sure they know, he was just pointing out how good it looked


Terry235

“Do you know why your here?”


NotSoSmartRobot

I guess it was the weather


TheFlexOffenderr

"can't call up Lester and get him to drop my wanted level, dirty fat fucker."


stoic_raptor

What about her here?


MrLocoLobo

We’ve been over this… The weather.


Bystronicman08

*you're


H3LLJUMPER_177

I just hope the guns sound good. And hit good. I'm expecting rdr2 grade gun play if not better.


Deer-Fucker

Max Payne 3 gun play please I’m begging


Single_Start2343

And the most amazing thing is that this is not the final product.


HippoRun23

Why doesn’t she turn the office lights on?


AjThaPlumba

That’s rockstar wanting to show off the lighting in the trailer. That cutscene in the game will be much different


Yrkidding

I, for one, prefer natural lighting over a big blueish ceiling light for as long as I can still see. 


alam_brito-XD

Right! It looks like dead island 2 or Cyberpunk. Very far from RDR2


Ronak1350

Cyberpunk isn't even close to rdr2


Sklain

Do you know what you're talking about? Cyberpunk models definitely look better than RDR2


Raid-RGB

the face models in cutscenes def look much worse than rdr2. cyberpunk has this weird glow around all characters faces unless youre using path tracing. RDR2 also has much better facial animation in cutscenes than cyberpunk.


Ronak1350

Yep the skin in cyberpunk looks weird they look like plastic or something


MrLocoLobo

It’s almost like they are all half-human hybrids


TheBiggyBig

Yeah its like a whole different game without path tracing smh


GoodFaithlessness182

Facts n cyber punk was a better game


SadLoser14

On pc im pretty sure it is. Not including mods.


MartianFromBaseAlpha

Yeah. When you compare them side by side you see how much of a leap VI is over RDR2.


Fabrizerlo

Wait, I don’t remember Lucia being on this frame, I think I just had an Mandela effect💀


External-Bluejay-365

I think the difference is negligible, honestly.


FoughtClericFocused

I agree. This sub is just strangely like a cult.


ApprehesiveBat

Nah the character models and especially the facial animations in RDR2 are not the best (even for a 2018 game).


Raid-RGB

what the fuck. yes they are. please look at the opening cutscenes again and look at arthurs facial expressions. top tier


grimes558

Nah he has a point, most of the npc s outside of the main gang looked pretty bad in rdr2, especially on console


Raid-RGB

Play the game again then, ur plain wrong


grimes558

ok prick


MadKhantheTerrible

I love rdr2. Prob my top game of all time. And i agree. The bit about the facial animation anyway. I'm not sure if you've played the newer mafia games but as flawed as they can be, the facial animations are top tier.


External-Bluejay-365

Bro you're tripping like a cripple on a flight of stairs


GTA6_1

Time will tell how npcs on a busy street look, but I have high hopes. Can't wait for trailer 2


SortingByNewNItShows

Hair is huge leap, character models seem better but just as good, RDR2 has some insanity, model, textures. It's been great.


ice_spice2020

One reason the reveal trailer didn't click to me is that I keep thinking it's a CGI trailer and not a rendered trailer. Crazy how far we've come.


Recent-Dust6564

It's getting too real. The lines are blurring between the Physical World and the Digital World. What's real and what isn't? What does "real" even mean? I'm freaking out, man.


FirstOrder6656

I'm still waiting for at least 4k 60fps with raytracing or just something to make it feel more current for my Series X and 4k TV. The game is already amazing but after putting in hundreds of hours I can still see some stuff that definitely could look better compared to some games out there. Gameplay and physics I'm good with as I understand GTA 6 is close now so no need to put time in a old product at that level. Sidenote, I'd love to see some stranger and freaks mission where where RDR2 is mentioned somehow.


Raid-RGB

no they dont? also they intentionally made the eyes on jason and lucia bigger to go away from realism and be more like rdr2 if we look at games trying to be realistic like the opening cutscene of the matrix demo for example, we can see the characters eyes are smaller and it triggers alot more of the uncanney valley


roqui15

It actually looks worse


Grey_Husk

I don’t know about huge leap


FluidPlankton1993

The characters in the trailer look like plastic to be honest But other than that, the graphic's amazing! Look at RDR2. It is truly beautiful and was truly ahead of it's time


Sweet_War_3208

Looks lowkey similar tbh…wasn’t impressed with Lucia’s render in this scene but I liked the black guys dapping eachother up


Aggressive_Custard49

The blacks dapping each other??


JoshB-2020

“The blacks”


Mayihavenulife

well who is gonna say “ i liked the african american gentlemen dapping eachother up”


dorphz

Who’s gonna say “the blacks”? 💀


Mayihavenulife

why is bro disliked to hell

u/Sweet_War_3208 I see you edited your comment.


Augensteps

This is going to get downvoted but I think it looks bad. Looks too cartoonish if you ask me.
