Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 6 is almost, finally–for real this time–actually close to releasing, and the extended Netflix showcase on August 27 (paired with the leaks) has reduced the already excited fanbase into hysteria.

However, the extended reveal has expectedly resulted in fans comparing GTA 6 to its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5. For the most part, fans seem to be thrilled with all the side-by-side comparisons that are floating around on X, such as the one below comparing GTA 6’s Jason and GTA 5’s Michael diving into the ocean.

Of course, as is to be expected with X posts these days, there are some naysayers, as a few fans seem to think that the diving animation looks better in GTA 5. I kind of see what they’re getting at, as the physics of Jason’s backflip animation do potentially look a little unrealistic, but that’s the trade-off for going for a more bombastic animation.

This is old news at this point, considering this was confirmed in the August 25 leak , but the improvements to both crowd density and draw distance in GTA 6 seem to be impressing GTA 5 fans the most. For instance, this parachuting clip comparing the quality of the skylines in both games feels like the best example of how far we’ve come since GTA 5 released in 2013. Sure, the draw distance quality in GTA 6 might have come at the cost of the game being locked to 30 FPS at launch, but it’s still impressive.
