Rockstar Games Showed a Sneak Peek of GTA 6’s Water Physics Which Many Missed

The GTA 6 trailer included an interesting detail which surely many fans missed. Since the release of the record breaking trailer, fans have been hard at work, digging through the trailer for the tiniest details. The trailer included lot of important details including a look at the lead characters, the map and more. Further, there were many recreations of real life incidents. But what one fan spotted will blow your mind away. GTA 6 is set to give the word graphics a whole new meaning.

The trailer showcased a realistic game where Rockstar Games has taken realism to a new level—everything from the character movements to the vehicle physics. But one lesser-noticed mechanic is the hyper-realistic water physics that was showcased in the trailer.

GTA 6 Trailer showcases realistic water physics

A recent post on Reddit has clipped an instance from the trailer that shows a flamingo taking off from a pond. In this clip, fans get to see a flamingo take off, and the water in the pond splash around. The way the water falls off the bird, and how the droplets cause ripples in the pond. Each ripple looks very real with the water acting exactly the way it would in real life.

GTA 6 will use the full power of the PS5. Even with Spider-Man 2 for instance, they took ray tracing to a whole new level for players who prefer better graphics. Now GTA 6 will do the same, with better game physics and lighting than ever before.

In recent years, many games have been working on improving the way water looks in the game. Even Rockstar Games has come a long way from how the ocean looks in GTA 3. Back then, Rockstar Games used the opaque look of the water as a way to stop players from going out of bounds by smartly claiming the water looked that way because it was toxic. Going in the water would slowly deplete the player’s health restricting them from leaving the map.

Rockstar Games demonstrated the progression of water visuals from GTA 3 to GTA 5. Each installment witnessed significant enhancements in graphics and physics related to water. In GTA San Andreas, players experienced the ability to enter the water for the first time. Since then, developers have consistently focused on refining the depiction of marine life and the details of ocean and river beds. And GTA 6 will be the most polished version of the same. Along with jaw-dropping water effects, the trailer has brought many other interesting features to light.

What else do we know from the GTA 6 trailer?

To begin with, the trailer confirmed Lucia and Jason as protagonists with a Bonnie and Clyde dynamic. Further, it confirmed the game will take players back to Vice City and get to revisit the iconic Ocean View Hotel.

Two new areas have been introduced as well. The Everglades swamp region and the Hamlet region are part of the lands of Leonida, Rockstar Games’ version of Florida. As players navigate the game, they will encounter criminal factions such as the Thrill Billy Mud Club in the Everglades region. This inclusion adds depth to the portrayal of the criminal underworld within the game.

Players will get to see a variety of vehicles including customizable cars, bikes, jet skis, boats, cars, and planes. The trailer also confirms the presence of car customization shops for custom paint jobs and upgrades.

GTA 6 is also set to introduce a social media app on the in-game cellphone. Taking a parody approach, GTA 6 includes satirical spoofs of real-life incidents from the state of Florida.

With jus the first trailer, the game gave so much details and fans cannot wait for more content. It remains to be seen when Rockstar Games will release the next trailer. Surely we’ll find more mind blowing details like the water physics.
