The latest GTA 6 trailer has ignited a lively debate among readers, with opinions ranging from high praise to disappointment. One reader, David, expressed his excitement for the upcoming release, stating, "After watching GTA 6 on Netflix I thought the graphics were great and they still got a few good months to get them better." He added, "It’s been 13 years since the last one and I’m going to love it. Well worth paying the extra for the Ultimate Edition."
Mixed Reactions to Visuals
However, not all feedback was positive. Another reader, Bobwallett, compared the game's graphics unfavorably to an older title, writing, "GTA 6 looks slightly better than the Max Payne 3 game I recently played on my Xbox 360." He noted that while there were more details, he wasn't "hyped/blown away" given the reported budget. He remains hopeful for a fantastic game, as he's "not actually that fussed over graphics."
David responded to the criticism by pointing out that "nothing is changing about the game in the next two months," as developers would be focused on bug-fixing at this stage.

In other news, a reader named Sam expressed disappointment with Ninja Gaiden 4, despite positive reviews. He described it as "the love child of Platinum’s Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising wrapped in Ninja Gaiden clothing," noting that it lacks the "slower, precise, tight swordplay" of the originals. He also mentioned unusual enemies like "huge robot dogs" and a "ninja lady boss" with dance moves. The GameCentral team agreed, adding that the franchise is unlikely to continue given the poor sales of Ninja Gaiden 4 and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.
