    I feel like I’m the only person who wasn’t blown away by the graphics.

    Like sure it looked really good, but it still looked like a videogame, on the same level as 3yo last-gen Last of Us 2

      Not even comparable to rdr2… which came out in like 2017. The characters\npcs look like cartoons lmao

        It’s just a different art style, there are a bunch of technical improvements over RDR2, such as:

        • NPC density (dance club, beach, etc)
        • urban lighting and reflections (esp. on cars and buildings)
        • hair animations (guy standing on green truck, white bikini girl whipping hair)
        • high render distance in model-dense areas (e.g. beach scene w/ details in the distance)

        It doesn’t seem to be going for realism, but it does seem to be adding a ton of tech.

          I mean every other game in the series seemed to have been going for realism idk why this one would be different. It may have many technical improvements but imo that doesn’t excuse things like skin that looks smooth as butter on almost every NPC lol

          Not that I’m not excited, just a bit disappointed.
