GTA 6 fans stunned by 'scary' screenshot they can barely tell from real life

If you thought GTA VI wasn’t going to be scary, you’re gravely mistaken.

Although it’s far removed from the horror genre, the realism the graphics bring is uncannily spooky.

Each new day brings another dip or high in the rollercoaster that is GTA VI; fans are either seriously concerned or hyped over what's to come.

Part of the excitement derives from the arduous wait we’ve all had to endure while Rockstar Games offers little to no scraps of information.

Consequently, when we perceive something as news, we get overexcited.

But sometimes, we're so hyped up because of what we’ve already seen.

Will this be the only trailer for GTA VI? It certainly feels like it

Granted, there’s currently only one trailer to get our blood pumping, but that doesn’t make it any less effective at doing just that.

As demonstrated on Reddit, though, the realism Rockstar appears to have captured is pretty “scary”.

User Either-Amoeba8232 voiced what we’ve all thought after re-watching the trailer for the umpteenth time, “If you barely close your eyes and look at the picture, doesn't it feel like real life? It's very scary.”

Not frightening enough to have you jump out of your seat, however, it’s unnerving all the same.

The OP isn’t alone in being shocked by the graphics of the new GTA, others too have voiced their surprise over its visuals.

“When I first watched the trailer, I was like ‘what the f**k, is that a shot from the game?’" commented Any_Wish4737.

To which another fan said, “I thought it was real. I watched it when they released it early, so I thought someone hijacked it and uploaded a fake trailer of real-life footage.”

So many of the fandom are joking about needing to “think twice” before aiming for any of the NPCs in the upcoming game.

Of course, there’s always the chance that the new instalment doesn’t meet our expectations, which would typically lead to review bombing.

Well, Take-Two Interactive will not take such behaviour likely.

During a recent discussion of review bombing, the GTA publisher issued a stark warning to those who carelessly review without thinking.

Hopefully, GTA VI will look as scarily detailed as it does in the trailer. But if it doesn’t, you know not to anger Take-Two...
