However, it’s pretty clear at this point that the overwhelmingly negative reaction to GTA 5‘s next-gen port has much more to do with the fact it isn’t GTA 6. In a way, the reaction to this trailer is just an extension of that blowback. Indeed, GTA 5 and Skyrim are arguably the most criticized/joked about games ever when it comes to multi-generation rereleases.

To be fair, this is hardly the first time that GTA 5‘s re-releases and Rockstar’s decision to focus on GTA Online updates over single-player DLC have faced fan scrutiny. Basically, a lot of people are confused at the moment regarding why they’re being asked to buy GTA 5 yet again when the next-gen version of the game doesn’t look much different.

The first involves the quality of the trailer itself and how it either does a poor job of showcasing what is so new and next-gen about this port or does a great job of showcasing what is new and next-gen about this port by revealing that the answer is “not much.” Some say the next-gen version of GTA 5 doesn’t look nearly as good as modded versions of GTA 5 on PC while others note that it doesn’t seem to feature nearly enough new content or even an adequate amount of performance improvements.
