Summary
Long-time Naughty Dog writer Neil Druckmann, best known for his work on theLast of Usgames and television show, has praised theGrand Theft Auto 6trailer. The trailer, which follows years of anticipation and leaks, serves as the first official glimpse atGrand Theft Auto 6, which will be Rockstar’s first release sinceRed Dead Redemption 2in 2018 and the first game in theGTAseries since 2013.
Druckmann has joined the conversation about the trailer, calling it “jaw-dropping.” Specifically, he commented onGTA 6’s version of Miami, calling it “eerily familiar” to him, as he grew up in the city. Druckmann did not specify whether he was referring to the trailer’s visual realism, art design, tone, or some combination of the three.
Over the course of his career, Druckmann has worked on a number of graphically impressive titles, so it’s not surprising that he would praise Rockstar on this point. Several responses to Druckmann’s statement point out this parallel, with many comparing the high level ofdetail found inGTA 6’s trailerto the boundary-pushing visuals ofThe Last of UsPart 2. Other commenters pointed out the irreverent humor of the trailer, poking fun at Florida’s reputation for over-the-top antics, seemingly agreeing with Druckmann aboutGTA 6’s “realistic” portrayal of Miami.
It’s important to note thatGTA 6is still in development, so the visuals, along with many other details showcased in the trailer, are subject to change. Having said that, Rockstar has a strong track record when it comes to games that are not only graphically impressive, but well-designed and detailed, particularly in their environments.Whenever Rockstar releases another trailerforGrand Theft Auto 6, those following the game, including Druckmann, may get a better idea of what the final product will look like.
