Animation Counts Across Rockstar Titles
A New York Times preview after the Netflix GTA 6 showcase reported the 600000 animations created for the upcoming title. Rockstar developers provided the comparisons to earlier games to illustrate the increase in animation work. The figures highlight how much more motion and interaction the new game contains relative to its predecessors.
Focus on Environmental Details
“Every room in the game, somebody thought about this. Who's sitting where, what they're drinking, the marks that are left on the table. The pictures on the wall will have the people that are in that room, with their tattoos on their arms and their family behind them. That whole thing has been made, and built, and photographed, and placed in this random room in a random building in a huge city, in a world.”
Art director and studio co-head Aaron Garbut emphasized the layered work on small environmental elements throughout GTA 6.
