In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
We had that two gtas ago
Looks incredible! Can't wait to explore the map. 
Haven't bought any games in over a year now and none of the games coming out next year interest me as much. Pre-ordering this one as soon as it goes up.

But we've had it all before. You can't keep doing the same old thing and expect it to remain fresh. And the idea that Americans wouldn't buy it because it's set in London.... Come off it. They'd be all over it like flies on shit.
Weird because the large majority of people love the trailer and it's only a very small few in here who don't find the upcoming release appealing.
I don't think it would have the same appeal to them, no. Watch Dog: Legions which was set in London sold far less than the first two which were set in the US.
People love anything GTA. So why not try something new.
But just imagine how everyone would feel if this was all a work...
That looks incredible. As always, the prospect of exploring a new GTA is always exciting.
I feel sad for your life.
Vice City is my fav GTA. I hope you can select an 80s radio station. Driving down Ocean Drive listening to cheesy music. Yes. That said there's no way I can play this game with young kids around.
Wrestling it is then.
Wrestling it is then.
It is new. Vice City was set in the 80s. This is set in the present.
I feel the same. Not to say absolutely no American will buy a London-set GTA of course, but people underestimate how centric American citizens are of their country, even in a fictional context. I feel we’d definitely see a decrease in sales compared to previous GTA titles.
The takes that they should do something new are hilarious. No.
Same. Sometimes I would literally start off at the hotel and just drive away even all the way up to Little Havana for the music
(on the definitive edition there’s actually a trophy available for getting through the entire radio station)Someone on the GTA subreddit said it's a way to prevent you from exploring the full map instantly. Go to another district/county and you get swarmed by police.
Lucia is wearing a tag on her ankle, I'm thinking that this might be a gameplay mechanic, instant wanted stars if out past a certain time.
Ben White catching strays.
Definitely not disappointed about it going back to Vice City, the world looks great and, ultimately, it's going to be a totally different beast to the PS2 Vice City (was going to say OG Vice City, but that would be the top down one!)
I'm wondering what they can do with the world (other then missions obviously) to make it interactive/worth your time though? Just thinking about the previous Vice City where the beach was a big part of the map, but ultimately absolutely pointless.
Maybe it all just has to be mission-centric/focused - like I can't imagine why you'd go to a nightclub in the game otherwise? Either that or there's just an insane amount of mini-games/random events etc.

Which I think will be it's downfall.
Without the 80s vibe the city is pretty dull.
I mean you're comparing a PS2 game to a PS5 game. The trailer showed it would be anything but dull.
Did you not see the trailer? Are you not entertained?
This is an award-winning comment.
Which 80s hits could they use? I feel they used most of the best ones in Vice City.
This Must Be The Place.
Do you feel the same way about grown ups being excited for mainstream films?
A lot seems to happen there but most of it (the makes the news stuff) cringeworthy so I’m not sure whether I’ll enjoy laughing at it or just not want any part of it whatsoever.
Why do you lot keep referring to the 80s? This is set in modern day with social media culture (vomits) an integral part of it.

Not hugely tbh.
2023 is boring with influencers and the likes which this is leaning into and Miami as a city and Florida as a county is dull as feck. As others have said, if they don't change up the mechanics of the game then it'll just feel like the last decade rehashed. There's bound to be some political satire as well which I'm frankly tired of.
Vice City worked so well because it was basically Scarface and peak 80's vibes. I don't think going for modern day will work anywhere remotely as well. I know you could point to GTA V versus San Andreas being set in 1992 and say they still managed it but there's a lot more variety of geography and a lot more of LA is iconic to be recreated than Miami/Florida, which aside from the neon lights is a bit of a shithole (LA is a shithole too but it has so much film and tv show history tied into it). I know it's dependant on level design and NFS isn't exactly renowned for it but their Miami-aping city was boring as hell.
I know Rockstar usually always manage to pull it out of the bag but they've done a lot of harm with the way they've milked V and then the PS2 'remasters'. I didn't finish V and haven't played online for a long, long time because each new expansion was crap.
It's all gonna be on the strength of the story telling/jeopardy of the two protagonists.
They will pay homage to the 80s Vice City in some way.
Hue and Cry - Labour of Love
They'll probably have a classics radio station in the same way V had a 90s hip hop station
Some of you are right miserable sods.
New Retro Wave radio could be on the cards too, if they decide go full zoomer.
Miami is dull. I mentioned the PS2 game because it was iconic for the vibe it had. 2023 doesn't hit the same as 1986.
Would probably quit gaming if you found the atmosphere in the trailer to be dull.
