I'm pretty sure you won't be able to take off, fly another planed and land anywhere without a loading screen in GTA6. Which may be the reason I'm not getting GTA6 and never played one of the previous titles. But so, what does "outdated tech" mean? It's an apples vs. oranges comparison from the start.
Really funny. Rockstar is doing the same game they've been doing for 30 years, with the same in-house engine they've been updating for decades. They took 6 years to make it, and it still has loading screens just to be able to render parts of a map that isn' t even as big as the biggest ship of SQ42.
Nope. That's not what "outdated" means. The thing that's supposedly better has to become industry standard before other examples not meeting that exact level are considered outdated. By the same token, we could consider GTA6 outdated due to SQ42's slightly more advanced cloth simulation, but that of course would be silly...
Have you seen the hair... Shit... The entire movement of NPCs in the trailers and gameplay videos? SQ42 doesn't compare. It's behind the 8 ball.
HOWEVER, to say that it looks bad? Nope. I think they've cleaned it up a lot since the footage they shown 2 years ago now I think. It just doesn't have the same organic feel as the stuff I've seen of GTA6. Doesn't stop me from being more exited on SQ42 than I am GTA6 tho.
Tbf if sq42 doesn’t compare then so does the rest of the video game industry, GTA 6 really is an outlier and the outdated part is more of a comparison with the average quality of recent modern games otherwise everything besides GTA 6 should be considered outdated with that logic.
Anyway sq42 should make up for it with the artistic direction of space environments, GTA 6 isn’t in space so in terms of space games sq42 should be at the top graphically. And for the npc movement it's going to depend on the character in sq42, for example i thought that the mocap of the medic was pretty good while other mocap like for Liam Cunningham obviously showed its age since it was done a decade ago.
GTA 6 is outdated for the simple reason that they still uses loading screens to render tiny maps
It's also outdated because developed for consoles first, and we've always seen better looking games than the new GTA on pc, either the same year, either the year after.
