Video game enthusiasts have been focusing on GTA 6, the newest game of Rockstar Games’ iconic game series GTA for the past few days. So much so that the game, which we have been talking about for years, has been exposed to a big leak recently. Images from the development phase of the game were leaked and these images started a great discussion among the players. So much so that many people thought that the images were literally “disgraceful”. Because the images of GTA 6 under development had a very simple structure and there were some obvious errors that stood out.
All this started a new discussion in the gaming world. Were the leaked footage of GTA 6 really unsuccessful? Or do all AAA games look like this while in development? With the involvement of the developers in this discussion, it became clear how unnecessary the discussion was. Because while other popular games were under development, they looked simple just like GTA 6 and were full of errors. Let’s take a closer look at some of the games in development.
Here are some games in development

One of the names involved in the discussion was the developers of CONTROL, which was not satisfied with receiving awards after its release. The chief designer of the game, Paul Ehreth, said that CONTROL received an award especially for its graphics, and that graphics were far from the final version in the early stages. A CONTROL official also shared a video.
Here’s the shared development phase video for CONTROL:
Here is the final state of CONTROL:
Cult of the Lamb, which was released by a group of independent developers in the past months and received full marks from the players, was also included in the discussions. The developers, who prepared a video with a comparison, shared the final version of the game under development. Just like CONTROL, there was a difference in Cult of the Lamb as well.

The developers of the turn-based tactics game Frozen Synapse, which has a serious fan base, were also among the names participating in the discussion. The developers, who shared a photo, revealed the state of the game in development.

The developers of Sea of Thieves, whom we met in 2018, shared a video of the game in 2014. When we look at the shared video, we witness that the game did not look like it does in 2014.
Here’s what Sea of Thieves looked like in 2014:

So far, we have talked about games designed with imaginary graphics. However, this is not the case. For example, the interactive game Immortality, which was released a few months ago. The game with real images looked very strange and even a little funny during development…

Here is a video of the development phase of God of War:

As you can see above, the best games and small games were in a completely different state when they were under development. Therefore, we do not need to complain about the graphics of GTA 6 just by looking at the leaks. It is likely that we will find many things to complain about when the time comes.
