daaaamn kyan ... these nature shots
thanks. i put a bunch of hours into them or posting them the last few years.
game is so beautiful now... i can't stop taking pictures
This game world's realism and believability is the gold standard. Look at how much people have just taking photos in the game.
GTAVI doesn't even need to do much differently in terms of detail. It will be more about increased use of physics, and more PBR (which there is already some of in GTAV). The next big thing would probably be either adding seasons, or making a significant number of buildings with accessible interiors. They probably got to start to automate world-building too because it seems rather costly to make this big world. And I guess improve online.
But all in all, no reason to re-invent, just build up.
yeah with the 5 years (and 1 year photographing Los Angeles) they spent building the world, it'd be such a waste to abandon it...
like a MMO or something, they should just keep building on it for GTA VI or GTAO... like, new characters, even new decade, whatever is OK but keep the world map, and expand into San Ferrio, Los Venturas, whatever. hell, it could even be Vice City or LC next game and they could still let us 'fly' to the SA map
while the geometry of the GTA5 character models clearly don't need to be reused... I think a good case could be made for the geometry and assets of the game world still existing within VI and even VII maybe
they don't even have to add gameplay content per se... just leave it there for free roam, for GTAO
