Uncharted 4 pre-alpha shows why GTA 6 early build shouldn't be judged in terms of graphics

As the Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) leak does its rounds on the internet, Kurt Margenau, a veteran video game director who has co-directed many critically and commercially successful titles, shared a video showcasing an early build sequence from Uncharted 4.

He posted a video in celebration of #blocktober, a trend wherein game developers share early builds of popular games they have worked on, before presenting what the games looked like in the developmental stage.

The post was also noticed by the GTA community after fans chastised Rockstar Games for how horrible the leaked gameplay looked, not realizing that it was merely an early build of the game.

Several users went on to show their appreciation to the developers for posting the behind-the-scenes footage:

Through their tweets, the community has expressed their appreciation for game developers' sharing what their games look like through the development stages.
