More fans commended the production design displayed in the GTA 6 trailer.
"It more like a movie trailer than a game trailer," @_GabrielYT stated.
"We'll be in GTA 6 for about 14 years, we will need all the realism we can get because we all will be living in Leonida," @MarcoKelly_23 added.
"No studio comes close to Rockstar when it comes to details!" @MegaC_list reacted.
"The game is definitely looking amazing. Cannot wait to see the finished game when it's released." @FlyingDBZ said.
More X users showered praises on the GTA 6's developers for the advanced environmental interactions and hyper-realistic physics:
"Rockstar never misses, when even the beer bubbles are realistic, you know the game’s on another level," @Khab_resh commented.
"Rockstar making all other games developers look like trash. This should send a shot across the industry to take the time optimizing your games. I'd rather have a game that was delayed 3 times over a super buggy, ugly game at launch." @James9582759655 reacted.
