Cyberpunk is easily the best looking game on the planet. No other game has the style, the realism, the lighting, the DRIP. It’s quite an achievement. Do you think GTA 6 will usurp the throne?

If GTA6 doesn’t beat a game from 3 years ago and 4-5x the budget, it will be one of the most talked about flops of multiple generations – that said, Cyberpunk is a genre with fans, people like the looks, Cyberpunk 2077 captures that genre. So will GTA6 look like Cyberpunk? Probably not. Will it look good? My guess is yes.
Look “Observer: System Redux”

It will not. GTA 6 will probably be cool, and look good…but no, not better than 2077.
Cyberpunk especially with pathtracing can’t be beaten atm.
Gta 6 won’t have pathtracing at the console launch. That said Cyberpunk is a crossgen game. The lightning is the only next gen thing we got rly thx to Nvidia.
3D models, textures, animations, data streaming etc all that isn’t next gen.
GTA6 however will be next gen in all these aspects. Npc density, way better data streaming, high quality 3d models and textures, highly detailed animations and *physics*. Cloth, hair, water and so much more will probably have dedicated simulation
All that together with some level of Raytracing will look pretty good in the bigger picture. I doubt Cyberpunk can keep up with that at all tbh as much as I love the game lol.
Once gta 6 drops on pc with advanced pathtracing it’s obvious and Nvidia will probably ditch Cyberpunk for gta
Until Orion comes out. The whole thing is why I have super high hopes for Orion. GTA 6 will raise the standard for these types of games
as someone who is looking forward to GTA 6 i certainly hope it looks better but i think that question is more complex than just graphics like you said. and based on the trailers and setting it seems like it’ll be almost the opposite of cyberpunk, sun washed and bright and full of NPCs that are very active for lack of a better word. cyberpunk has a fitting dark aesthetic so I don’t know if it’s rly usurping the throne since they’re such different and directions and vibes
I think GTA 6 will definitely look be amazing but I love Cyberpunk n GTA games n they are totally different games so I wouldn’t even compare them.
GTA 6 imo wont look better due how broad of audience it going to reach
Cyberpunk will look better because of the cyberpunk setting. GTA 6 will have better graphics for sure though but visually won’t be as impressive as it doesn’t have the cyberpunk setting

Ageeed 🦾
Lighting is very dark sometimes
RDR2 already usurped the throne… 2 years before cyberpunk came out.
Just don’t get within 200 feet of any texture in the game, they’re like 420p
Cyberpunk and GTA both have their own aesthetics.
Both developers are top tier in what they do, Rockstar just has the money to hold off investors as long as they need to. CDPR, as renowned and fantastic as they are, are miniscule compared to Rockstar. It explains why Cyberpunk got thrown into the world a couple years early.
I think CDPR can create something on par with anything Rockstar does, and they can outdo each other with their releases. They are both in their own league together.
Yeah you can count on rockstar to deliver after taking so long they cant afford it not to be groundbreaking. Rdr2 is still one of the best looking games today.
I think 2077 looks fantastic. I think it’s a reach to say it’s “easily the best-looking game”.
Honestly, it might look better graphical y but I’m not sure it’ll be able to capture the “style” points. In this regard I think CP2077 being first person only may be a serious advantage for it. Since you’re looking through a person’s eyes rather than their shoulder you get the coolness and style from the perspective of the character themselves.
I think GTA6 will look amazing graphically and be the most impressive game ever for sure, but in terms of art direction I doubt I will prefer GTA6 to Cyberpunk, simply because GTA takes place in a real city which completely limits the artists in terms of the world they can create. Whereas with night city they were free to create whatever they wanted which gave us this fantastic world. not to mention that in my opinion the Cyberpunk setting is way more interesting in terms of atmosphere compared to the GTA setting but thats just my personal tastes
Bugraphically GTA6 will be far ahead of any other game, I mean the budget, number and time of development this game has is unheard of
Eeeeeh…arguably yes. But I gotta be honest, I’m currently replaying Rise of the Tomb Raider, and while it’s definitely lacking a few things, like ray tracing support, due to its age, the visuals in 4K are utterly stunning. And the loving detail with which the characters are animated, tiny details like huddling up from the cold, or wringing out the ponytail after falling into the water, really push the game up.
Of course it’s not an open world game, the scenes are set pieces, so Cyberpunk is still several orders of magnitude more impressive piece of work. But there’s some amazing looking games out there that are arguably just as breathtaking.
My only gripe with cyberpunk is the world is so awesomely detailed and it feels alive and real, but there’s almost no customization options in terms of vehicles or clothing or weapons.
In a world where everything can be modified, you’d think there would at least be an auto shop where you can add underglow to your car or something.
But I understand the level of effort it would take to add that in. Oh well, still love the game.
It will look really good and may look better than Cyberpunk in some regards, but since they will be going for reality, the game will probably not have nearly as much style as Cyberpunk.
I’m not a fan of GTA, the theme doesn’t speak to me at all. Cyberpunk is my jam.
If GTA6 releases functional it will have that going for it. Thing is it’s more about the gameplay with Rockstar games than it is about the graphics. Always has been. It doesn’t need to look better, just be a fun game that plays well at release.
Cyberpunk will probably stay my favorite game, with my opinion it having the best style and world. But GTA 6 is gonna be a behemoth. That world will be much more alive than cyberpunk.
Rockstar games never disappoints imo. I think gta 6 is going to absolutely blow every game ever released out of the water
I love Cyberpunk but RDR2 blows it out of the water
GTA 6 will be more realistic but it won’t have the sauce Cyberpunk has.
If we only look at open worlds, Rdr 2 sits on that throne imo. Horizon forbidden west is also close. If you prefer cities instead of wilderness then yeah, cyberpunk is the best looking game i have seen too.
Gta 6 should look better on pc. Not sure about console.
I think GTA 6 will be revolutionary in just about every technical aspect and push the boundaries of realism in its open world.
Not sure but I pity you for not being able to enjoy something without it being at the expense of something else
To be honest I care more about the gameplay being fun than what the game looks like. I mean retro games are a thing and popular enough these days. That said I have no doubt a lot of money will be put towards the graphics and they will look pretty. It’s just to me that’s more of a secondary consideration.
GTA6 will likely beat CP2077 in terms of things like NPC AI, physics, animation and facial animation, draw distances/LODs etc. but in terms of sheer art direction and especially lighting with path tracing, which I doubt GTA6 is going to have, I think CP2077 will still win in that area. Both are very different art styles though.
Considering the trailer looked better than anything out now and had way more charm and NPC variety than Cyberpunk, yeah, I don’t think it’ll be too hard lol.
Everyone except for main characters looks awful in this game, and for as much as they’ve improved the game over time, it’s still not the game they said it would be.
Rockstar are masters of immersion, so don’t kid yourself about GTA6 not having a better open world. It absolutely will.
The best thing is, Rockstar always does in-game trailers, so what you saw in the trailer is what you’ll get when you play. And it’ll improve by launch. Just look at RDR2 pre-release and after.
GTA 6 will be a milestone in gaming. Make no mistake about it.
it can’t usurp because its not the same, thematically. in eaches own genre they are both S+++++
hell no. and if it comes close it will be shortly eclipsed by the next cyberpunk game fa sho
Arkham Knight is the most gorgeous game ever to me, that and Ghost of Tsushima
GTA6 is just a different beast. It goes for hyper realism. So you get diverse AI, fine tuned physics, and state of the art graphics. Cyberpunk definitely leans into its art style much more than GTA. The city is beyond real, it could never exist in our world and is designed to be more dreamlike and fantastical. The guns lock on, you can weild katanas on bikes, and set people on fire with your mind.
Its really not fair to compare the two because there really isnt anything else like Cyberpunk 2077
I think GTA will be gorgeous in its own right. Rockstars excels at creating gorgeous worlds (RDR2 being a prime example) but also it’s important tho know that GTAVI will be attempting to mirror a real city/ state as closely as possible, while CP is creating a world from scratch. I think both games will end up having very different aesthetics but as far as lighting goes, GTAVI should be a show stopper, while Cyberpunk has become its own thing. It’s really hard to compare the two.
Better question: who will win GTA6 or Orion
Please don’t get all up in arms about this but RDR2 is a more sophisticated and impressive graphical achievement than cyberpunk. Rockstar does not fail because they don’t have to play by the same rules as everyone else.
But cyberpunk is indeed a marvel in its own right and sublimely beautiful.
If GTA6 is not “the most graphically impressive game” of its generation than it has failed in the singular point of its existence.
But all empires fall eventually so who the fuck knows
If I can get chromed out in GTA then maybe, but the sheer audacity of the visual spectacle of a cyberpunk city may simply mean that cyberpunk has the set pieces to make look good, while GTA may have better graphics but not the visuals to shine.
I could see the people and conversations though being better. Despite the work, people still move like they’re robots in cyberpunk.
I’m hoping it does. I was expecting to get a GTA5 back when CP2077 was released. The game doesn’t have the same “freedom” as GTA, but it feels just right for the style of gameplay (even more now after all the updates).
Now with GTA6 and hours and hours of CP2077, I’m really looking forward to see how it ends up looking like.
I mean Witcher 3 looks pretty damn good as well. Yes it’s the same developer but still. Also I do agree with you.
