La date de sortie et le dévoilement du premier trailer de GTA 6 sont enfin arrivés, plus de 10 ans après GTA 5. La frénésie entourant Grand Theft Auto 6 est maintenant déclenchée, mais la question demeure : le jeu est-il à la hauteur de cette longue attente ?
GTA 6 was supposed to be unveiled on Tuesday, December 5th, at 3:00 PM, but things took a different turn. The official trailer unexpectedly leaked on Twitter the day before, forcing Rockstar Games to change its plans. Instead of allowing a low-quality trailer with a prominent "Buy bitcoins" watermark in the middle, the studio released the HD version online. A minor hiccup with no real consequences, as the game is currently a massive hit. It's breaking all records, and millions of fans are endlessly replaying the first video
GTA 6, une immense claque graphique PS5 et Xbox Series X|S ?
The first GTA 6 trailer has shattered records, and the momentum is only growing with each passing day. The highly anticipated trailer, particularly from a technical standpoint, drew attention. Despite the absence of pure gameplay footage, Digital Foundry, Eurogamer's tech experts, decided to dissect the video. Is it a scam? A disappointment? The "most beautiful game in the world"?
According to them, there seems to be no deception as GTA 6 runs smoothly in real-time, not on a high-end 4K PC with ultra settings. The presence of artifacts and the dynamic resolution fluctuating between 1440p native confirm their observations. While character faces might be less realistic compared to other demos like The Matrix Awakens, Digital Foundry is impressed by the rendering of hair.
Undoubtedly, the sequence featuring a bikini-clad woman intentionally tossing her hair left a strong impression. Moments with the probation officer or the man with dreadlocks and golden teeth were equally noteworthy. Beyond the overall hair rendering, despite artifacts indicating real-time sequences, Digital Foundry is also amazed that it applies equally to both NPCs and more important characters, which is typically resource-intensive. Moreover, Rockstar's technology seems to excel in representing a diverse range of protagonists, regardless of their origin, gender, or morphology.
Grand Theft Auto 6 plus beau que jamais grâce au ray-tracing ?
No cheating apparent, except perhaps for TikTok videos; there, pre-rendering might be in play. One crucial aspect of Digital Foundry's technical analysis of the GTA 6 trailer is ray-tracing. According to them, the lighting model is "impressive." Regardless of the global illumination solution used, it is deemed natural and coherent, especially compared to games utilizing a basic rasterization approach.
Quant aux réflexions, DF penche pour une solution hybride (hardware, software), tandis que les ombres ne sont pas projetées à l'aide du ray-tracing. Ce serait du shadowmapp classique qui est une technique plus traditionnelle et moins avancée que le ray-tracing, consistant à utiliser des textures pour simuler les ombres, ce qui diffère des méthodes utilisées dans les versions PS5 et Xbox Series de GTA 5.
Tout cela semble prometteur, mais peut-on s'attendre à une exécution fluide en 4K à 60 images par seconde ? Évidemment, non. En raison des contraintes matérielles, la cadence sera de 30 images par seconde. Digital Foundry ne rejette pas l'idée d'un mode à 40 images par seconde, qui pourrait augmenter le taux de rafraîchissement avec un écran ou une télévision compatible, mais ils ne sont pas totalement convaincus. Le site pense que Rockstar optera probablement pour un seul mode. Malgré quelques réserves, ils estiment qu'en regardant simplement cette bande-annonce de GTA 6, il y a clairement un "saut générationnel". Et vous, qu'en pensez-vous?
