The character switch animation in GTA 5 was a loading screen wearing a costume.
That Google Earth zoom-out everyone remembers bought the engine time. Jumping from Michael to Trevor meant dumping one side of the map and streaming an entirely new one off a PS4 hard drive that read about 100 MB per second. Rockstar couldn't hide the wait, so they made the wait cinematic. Players spent 13 years admiring a progress bar.
The PS5's SSD reads 5.5 GB per second. Over 50x faster. That's the entire reason the seam disappeared.
The deeper change is what happens to the character you're NOT playing. In GTA 5, the off-screen protagonist barely existed. The game invented their day and dropped them into scripted vignettes when you came back. In GTA 6, Lucia keeps driving while you lean out the window as Jason. Switch mid-firefight and your partner keeps shooting, because when the two are together, both run live at once.
That's a doubled simulation load on top of the densest open world Rockstar has ever built.
The best engineering in games is the kind you never see. It took a full console generation to delete one camera move.
I’m so burned out and depressed that I feel like I’m regressing as a person. I’ve lost my ability to communicate and genuinely connect with others. I’m so focused on surviving and staying safe in a chaotic world that I’ve forgotten how to socialize or enjoy life. My personality feels muted, my hobbies are gone, and I feel like an empty shell. trapped in survival mode instead of truly living. & I hate it here
99.9% of 40 year old men with 700 million dollars sit around with whores.
I could have done the same and talked shit on the Internet and took no risks and just lived easy.
In my heart I knew I’m too old.
I knew I’d been out too long.
That’s why I had to do it.
To face fear. I can’t live scared. I have to know I faced it.
I lost fair and square.
Chase is a true champion.
A warrior - I’m proud of him.
He deserves that belt.
@Higgstastic@Beluba I do not i only have one build and the progress for the quest isnt going up. Ive noticed a couple other quest issues as well but id need to hop back on before i can say for sure its bugs
@Beluba In MyCareer this is one of my quests but the game isn’t registering my grade going up. Ive done multiple games now with A+ grade and this quest isn’t progressing. Potential bug.
@unplugfitX Remember guys, this has nothing to do with tattoos, these people just don’t like women! If you really liked a woman tattoos wouldn’t matter. Now if it’s a preference say that, but don’t go talking about women’s MARKET VALUE when not everybody sees it the same way.
