I owned and played RDR2 on the One X at launch - what they achieved was truly astonishing. Literally looked next generation at the time compared to any other console game I played. And it's why I had no doubts that the first two GTA6 trailers were reflective of gameplay.

The RAGE engine and R*'s talent for optimising for fixed hardware is leagues above anyone else. And the extended look gameplay confirmed that. Given the age of the current console hardware it's almost witchcraft what they've achieved, even if it is at 30fps. It's even running at native 1440p according to DF. Even 1080p 30fps would have been impressive on that old hardware.

GTA6 still pales in comparison to Bodycam Trench Warfare.

There is nothing that beats the realism of that game.

??? That game doesn't have a world full of NPCs and such. Totally different kind of thing. I would say Bodycam is the one paling in comparison, but Bodycam is extremely impressive for what it is trying to accomplish.
