Is that Lincoln from Mafia 3? fucking love him.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Can’t wait. I get a lot of Remedy/Quantum Break vibes with the gunplay and effects. Very 6th gen energy too which is awesome (which makes sense considering that’s when GTA became GTA).

Day fucking one with a bullet.

Edit: FUCK and the lead actor played Lincoln Clay in Mafia 3

Well, I came

 

[Ribi]

This looks like trash

 

[Edellus]

The car gameplay looks a bit rough, but the story about AI and ethics is very intriguing to me. Perhaps this will finally scratch the itch Detroit Become Human couldn't.

 

[Bluecondor]

Finally! A new 3rd person action game set in (close to) the real world. We used to get so many games like this back in the PS4 era.

I think I'm in!

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

All up in your Benzies. Cautiously optimistic, looks like a game that needs more time in the oven but has promise.

Yeah, it's nice to see. A Sleeping Dogs sequel would be awesome to see these days.

Square could get Sloclap to do it.

 

[touchfuzzy]

I’m guessing anyone who thinks this looks good only watched the cinematic trailer and not the gameplay one, yikes.

 

[Thief1987]

I don't know, it's trying to pretend to be that big blockbuster game, but everything they showed looks kinda cheap and junky. And these gameplay snippets looks as dull and uninteresting as you can get.

 

[RyRy93]

Bored of the “got this thing stuck in my head that might kill me” trope, played through CP2077 recently and now BG3

 

[Rayjin]

looks generic as hell

 

[gtabro]

Seeing Leslie gave me life, especially since so many key members have left Rockstar in recent years and I really didn’t jive with RDR2, so not too hyped for gta 6.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Looks very medium budget and action-packed - by no means those are bad things. It's definitely on my radar.

 

[manfestival]

This game made me laugh when watching that gameplay trailer. Looks like Temu Just Cause. Was pretty rough to watch

 

[PuppetMaster]

I am interested

 

[SimTourist]

Sci-Fi GTA meets Control lol

I think you mean GTA meets Concord

 

[pnutboy]

Gameplay looks rough tbh, summer seems too soon but def potential here

I thought it looked fun personally.

Although there's a bit of a strange look to it. The environment and models are seriously lacking in places but there's also glossy look to it with graphics effects and the lighting.

 

[Kikorin]

Looks cheap? Like some mobile game from Gameloft from some years ago. I hope is just a bad reveal gameplay.

 

[Burger]

Looks like Crackdown. Crackdown 1.

 

[KloetenQuetsche]

another game with flying cars! Why is it so hard to do this right!!??

 

[Nankatsu]

Need to see more. The gameplay reveal was 90% shooting, 10% driving.

I wanna know what else the game offers.

 

[Hudo]

I bet the character feels better to control here and the shooting feels better than it will in GTA 6.

 

[yogaflame]

This might become a cross gen game between ps5 and ps6.

 

[Hypereides]

Looks pretty good. Definitely interesting.

Kinda surprised they're teaming up with IO on this. This could really become big for them.

 

[N0S]

360 dudebro shooters are back!

 

[Schmendrick]

this feels like a Roland Emmerich movie....I think I`ve gotten dumber just by watching the trailer.
They could`ve put a single caption under every single scene reading:

"Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude"

 

[Gonzito]

We need more shooters. I am sick of dark souls action games, bring back the 360 shooter games.

I am in

 

[yogaflame]

Looks like Saros, Tides of Annihilation, and this game will fully utilize the capabilities of Ps5 pro because its possible this games were built with ps5 pro in mind. I assume that because the trailers were shown running on ps5 pro. This games might be the main showcase of Ps5 pro capabilities

 

[MMaRsu]

This looking good for the PS6 in 2027

Well it should be out this summer

I think releasing a game such as this after GTA6 wont have any impact whatsoever

 

[RCX]

I'm 100% interested

I believe in The Benz!

And good on them for showing actual gameplay in their trailer instead of announcement.jpg

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

I'm quite surprised at the positive reception in this thread. Looks very janky.

Will see how the final product fares but looks like it needs a lot of polish.

 

[AMC124c41]

another game with flying cars! Why is it so hard to do this right!!??

It's mostly the shadows failing to root the car in the scenery here so they should probably work on improving the casting accuracy to avoid this. Then there's the complete lack of tyre marks that adds to the floatyness of it and finally the actual car physics looked off to begin with. The thing slides around that corner like it's on grease and then just randomly goes to 100% grip and goes forward.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this game but when I saw that they're aiming for a summer release I got a bit worried as it clearly needs more time in the oven.

There’s lots of negative comments in here too. I wouldn’t call it a positive reception.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Boyos, took a look at the trailer again and...yeah, this is DEFINITELY not ready for prime-time, the junk is just too stronK, this looks like something that needs at least an extra year in the proverbial oven...

 

[Laptop1991]

I liked it a lot, very GTA like open world, which isn't a surprise, if it comes to PC i would be very interested.

 

[Gambit2483]

Wish they would have better shown off how the open world ties into the gameplay. Trailer felt like a mish-mash of setpiece shootouts and car chase segments.

 

[Portugeezer]

I'm digging it.

 

[Euler007]

Looks promising.

 

[Audiophile]

Not sure what everyone else is seeing. Looks like a janky youtube asset flip to me. Visuals are momentarily pleasing but it looks cheap, generic and movement/animations/interaction all look awful.

 

[Roman Empire]

8 days died so this could live.

Glad someone still remember 8 days.

 

[Luipadre]

You guys think this looks good? I thought this was some UE5 school project

 

[AMC124c41]

Glad someone still remember 8 days.

I wish this had the cover and movement system they developed for that game, looked ahead of its time:

This is happened in so many games. Forza Motorsport for example. It's something that most games can't do right.
Gta 4 for example hasn't this problem.

 

[bundylove]

LOoking good. Looking good.

This and hell is us saved the show for me.

I want it out this year. Is it too much to ask for?

 

[MMaRsu]

I mean thats how mafia is too
The city is just the backdrop for the missions

 

[brenobnfm]

Looks competently made but extremely generic.

You're right, a lot of games do because you need high fidelity shadows to get the car to "sit" correctly in the environment and those are expensive to render so devs may cut corners on them to get performance back. You mention GTA 4 and I went to have a look. You know why they work in that game cause the devs are "cheating" by having the car have 2 shadows. One that is perfectly underneath it no matter where the light is coming from and then the dynamic real time shadow that moves with the sun, etc but it can be lower quality cause you have that dark blob under the car at all times. They basically hacked in an old-school PS2 era technique to compensate for the shadow precision issue. You can see it in this quick screenshot I took:

Good catch on your side though. Look at that screenshot, the rectangular shadow is under every car to help ground them.

 

[R6Rider]

I noticed that immediately and then the rest of the jank.

 

[Gambit2483]

If that's how the game is structured, cool, but at least communicate that to us instead of having us wonder if this is a GTA-type game or what.

That's exactly why most people are on the fence with this game, bc they aren't communicating what kind of game it really is.
