For nearly 24 hours, the gaming community has been vigorously discussing the surprise release of the second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, which Rockstar dropped without any prior announcements. Judging by fan reactions, their excitement has surpassed all expectations—but what's most interesting is that the main focus of discussion isn't the storyline but the unprecedented level of visual fidelity. The trailer managed to impress even seasoned industry professionals—those who have spent decades creating their own video games.

Developers from CD Projekt Red, Pocketpair, and several independent studios unanimously declare: GTA 6 demonstrates such a level of quality that it feels like "a game from the future".

Pavel Burza from CD Projekt noted that "there are moments when the entire office stops to watch a masterpiece", while the creators of Palworld limited themselves to a concise yet eloquent message: "the gaming industry is saved".

Particular admiration is directed at the photorealistic rendition of Miami-inspired Vice City, the cinematic framing of shots, lifelike character animations, and the incredible density of environmental details. Even Mike Daly, one of the creators of the original GTA, admitted: "everything looks really cool, and the animations have reached a new level".

Although some professionals, like Ubisoft writer Rick Godwin, expressed cautious skepticism, calling the trailer "too predictable", even he couldn't resist adding: "I'll still buy it and play it from start to finish".
