Dan Houser and Michael Unsworth are big losses from the writing team. I do worry about the tone of this one, especially after watching the trailer and all the fake tiktok stuff. If you'd told me that was another Saints Row reboot I may have believed it.
Here's the Dev.
Its definitely in-game presentation. Resolution dropping here and there. In engine render will be much crispier.
It is early to tell I suppose, but the leaks did show some new working features on the cars, so it'll be interesting to see how they're actually implemented.
I was expecting a large number of GTA V cars to be ported over. I think it remains to be seen how detailed and/or upgraded they will be...we haven't had that good of a look. I feel like a lot of GTA Online DLC cars were a bit lower quality than the GTA IV and main GTA V cars...a lot of them felt rushed and uninspired to me. A good GTA car, IMO, is one that borrows influence from real world counterparts but the result still feels unique. The Banshee is and always has been a good example of this. A lot of the GTA Online DLC cars just felt like counterfeit versions of real cars - which felt a little low effort to me.
Sure. Well, I was expecting a lot of the cars added to GTA Online to be ported over, but I’ve spotted several cars that are ported from GTA IV, and that’s an old ******* game.
Returning models aren’t necessarily a bad thing if the original assets were of a high enough quality. Codemasters have been reusing stuff since the first DiRT and GRID games until now, even after switching game engines with WRC. Obviously we’ve not seen anything up close yet, but as noted by @McLaren, the leaked footage showed a lot of very minute details that were all editable by the devs (such as seat positions for example). Given that the game is set as the same in-game universe as GTA IV and V, the returning models are obviously not gonna look totally different, but they have definitely gone back and added more details, as shown by the below screenshot.
Codemasters does it so then it’s fine? No. And adding details doesn’t do it for me when the car models themselves are bad/weird looking. It makes the game very inconsistent as we now have some cars that are very true to their real life counterparts while others hardly resembles them at all. Inconsistency like this is what frustrated me about GT5 & 6 as well, with the standard cars ported from GT4.

Aside from all the murder and general blowing up of stuff, sure.
