Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most anticipated games by players. Rockstar once said that their goal is to pursue perfection and bring more excitement to players. Recently, former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij said in an interview that compared with the fifth generation, it may be difficult for Grand Theft Auto 6 to have a big breakthrough.


Vermeij said that due to the relatively small improvement in hardware performance of current consoles, "GTA6" will not have much breakthrough. For example, he said that the transition from PS1 to PS2 was huge, while the transition from PS4 to PS5 was not that big, which prevented game developers from making a technological leap.

Vermeij said: "There has been a lot of progress from GTA2 to GTA3, and from GTA: San Andreas to GTA4, but it's hard for us to see such a big improvement again. I don't think GTA6 will be a big breakthrough compared to the fifth generation. After GTA6 is launched, I think players may be a little disappointed, but it will still be the best game."


Despite this, Vermeij admitted that Rockstar has "taken a step further" in GTA6, and he said that he was impressed by the first trailer of the game. He said: "What surprised me was the beach scene in the trailer. Many characters are busy with their own things, and they all have their own animations. It's magical."

Vermeij approved of GTA6's return to the "Vice City" inspired by Miami. He said he liked the atmosphere of Miami very much and was very much looking forward to GTA6. He would definitely play the game after it was released.
