The conversation continues about last week\u2019s Grand Theft Auto 6 Extended Look<\/a>, a highly praised showcase that also attracted some detractors. It\u2019s social media, so negative takes are amplified, but one is being shot down by a GTA 5 voice actor.<\/p>\n Ned Luke, who played Michael De Santa in GTA 5, had a conversation with Partychat and House of Highlights<\/a>, and addressed claims<\/a> that GTA 5 looks better in some ways, or that GTA 6 just looks like GTA 5 with mods.<\/p>\n \u201cThis looks nothing like Grand Theft Auto 5. I think they\u2019re out of their minds. I\u2019ll tell you one thing: I never looked that good,\u201d he said, pointing at Jason.<\/p>\n \u201cThe technology has grown by leaps and bounds, so what would make you think it\u2019s not going to be better than those games?\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s no diss to those games. It\u2019s like between [GTA 5] and GTA 4. Our graphics blew GTA 4 away. They weren\u2019t even close.\u201d<\/p>\n Luke goes on to say that GTA 6 also looks better than Red Dead Redemption 2, and how the way the GTA characters move is how an \u201cactual human walks.\u201d He says his character in the game was a bit \u201cmechanical\u201d when it came to walking and standing.<\/p>\n The post-GTA 6 Extended Look discourse was mainly awe about how it looked, but over the coming days, the footage started being pulled apart, whether that was a singular awkward backflip animation, a hand not quite touching a car door to close it or, not related to graphics per se, the claim that Lucia cannot cock a shotgun with a single hand (as it turns out, it depends on the shotgun).<\/p>\n These are, of course, incredibly small nitpicks, but given that Rockstar puts incredibly small details in its games, it sort of opens itself up for things like this. The claim, however, that GTA 5 somehow looks better than GTA 6 is quickly dismissed by anyone with eyes, as for all the complaints you can make, it is genuinely hard to believe anyone could make that comparison in good faith. But the claim spread far enough that it was even on Ned Luke\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t know what Rockstar\u2019s marketing plan is from here. It would be hard to top the sheer amount of footage we saw in that showcase, so we may be back to more standard marketing or perhaps to hands-on press\/influencer previews. But it\u2019s clear at this point that Rockstar could do absolutely nothing and GTA 6 will be the biggest launch in gaming history. Pre-orders, however, were estimated to shoot up by over 400%<\/a> in the wake of the Extended Look. Given the hundreds and hundreds of potential play hours in the game, I don\u2019t think anyone would say no to another 20 minutes of footage.<\/p>\n Follow me <\/strong>on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong>Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
