The arrival of the second officialGrand Theft Auto VItrailer is imminent but in the meantime, fans are looking back at the first one and marveling over its stunning footage.

Tomorrow celebrates the one-year anniversary of our first officialGTA VItrailer!
Since then,Rockstar Gameshas remained pretty tight-lipped about what is perhaps its most anticipated game of all time so fans have had to make do with the crumbs they have been given.

That is why now, a year on, they are looking back at the footage from the first trailer and comparing its next-generation graphics to other big games.
Shared on the GTA 6 Countdown Twitter account, onepostshowed comparison images between theGTA VItrailer andFar Cry 5which was released back in 2018.
TheGTA VIimage shows one of our new protagonists, Lucia, in her prison garb with sunlight streaming onto her face. It looks pretty impressive, especially for in-game footage.
In comparison, the image taken fromFar Cry5is a CGI cutscene, and although looking equally as impressive, we all know that cutscenes are a lot more graphically impressive than in-game footage.
So can we expectGrand Theft Auto VIto maintain these standards when it releases some time during fall 2025?

“Only Rockstar can make in-game footage that looks better than actual CGI,” one commentread.
Anothersaid: “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve finally reached the landmark in gaming where in-engine cutscenes are convincing enough to look like pre-rendered cutscenes.”
With another trailer on the way, we can expect a lot more comparisons over the upcoming weeks but until then, it’s back to waiting.
