Gaming Grand Theft Auto VI

Im with you, thought it looked so good. Its a shame its probably going to be xmas 2025 before we get to play it. I cant wait I have had 10 years of GTA5 keeping me amused so to have a whole new map and all that goes with it to learn is something to look forward to.
Agree - the city looks so much deeper, if that makes sense! Even just from the short glimpses in the trailer! Would love if the NPCs were like they were in RDR2 and you could follow them around and they had routines. Would be a lot more complex in this game, but would be v cool if cars and people didn't magically spawn in so near to you.

Maybe they'll have hubs scattered around the city where NPCs do this? I always imagined driving into, for example, Grove Street in SA and there being a handful of NPCs going through their own narrative that changes over time similar to RDR2. Some guy working on his car until it's eventually built, an old woman shaking her fist as some kids playing on her lawn before losing it and setting up bear traps, other mundane shit like that.
 
Can't stop watching the trailer. :lol: No other game company is able to get and portray current society like Rockstar do and can. They're phenomenal.

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.
 
This looks wonderful. As big a step from RDR2 as it was from GTAV.

It's obviously way too early to complain about gameplay or mechanics we don't know of. From the little we have to go off, it looks like this story may be more in line with the seriousness of RDR2. The world looks beautiful, my one wish is that they build in single-player DLC. It probably won't happen, but if you've built a world this exciting, it seems criminal to not tell more stories in it. I know there's online, but it's not the same as something like Lost & Damned or Ballad of Gay Tony.
 
That looks epic, I absolutely cannot wait.

51m views in 10 hours is pretty mad too :lol:
 
Difficult to judge whether it’s going to be clunky slow third person with the awful dot reticle from that video so I’m on the fence for now.
 
This has been dragging on for so long I haven’t an iota of interest left
I take this comment from a few weeks ago back :lol: to start with, the graphics/visuals look sickkkk. Honestly it looks so worth the hype. 2025 seems like a lifetime away though :boring:
 
Damn that looks great. The shot of the Keys was just :drool:

If the density of those crowds is legit and not just for cinematic purposes then it's gonna be a cracking game.
 
I also disagree with those disappointed it's gone back to Vice City.

I don't think you can get more batshit/easy to parody than the US. And Florida is basically a real life GTA state anyway. It's a melting pot of races, cultures, crime, environments, etc.. It's perfect for GTA.
 
Looks fantastic. Level of detail in the city, beaches etc. Population density and environments are insane.

Shame it will be 2026 before it's on PC. Might have to finally buy a PS5.
 
Already being spammed with 50 THINGS YOU MISSED IN THE TRAILER videos.
 
Wish they'd have gone somewhere new. They did London back in the day, so why not have a go somewhere different. This isn't even set in the 80s, which was half the magic of the original.

You know it'll be good fun I suppose.
 
2025 is light work, try being a Star Citizen fan :lol:

Glad they're not rushing it. Its inevitably going to be a generational release so I'd rather they spend the extra time polishing it.

Agreed. It's one of the best places they could choose to portray the satire they do so well and to reflect current life and world situations.

I would absolutely love a London based GTA but I don't think it will ever go there. The US market for Rockstar is too strong.
 
So they're going with Bonnie and Clyde kind of story. Nice. Trailer looks stunning, seems like I'm going to buy Playstation after all.

And hide it from kids.

It will be 2025 in 56 weeks!

I'm shocked at the amount of people that thought it would be out before December 2024! Rockstar always bring out a trailer at least 12 months before the game comes out.

I think it will come out in early 2025, maybe around February/March time.

I reckon they'll do a second trailer focused on the male protagonist. Probably April next year or something.

Yeah, I agree. They've not 'done' Vice City like this. The last time we visited it looked like this, now it looks like this. We've also known that it is Vice City for years at this point so hard to be still disappointed.

Yeah, same boat. Would rather throw money at my PC, but not waiting another 12 months to play this. I guess nothing it set in stone yet, let's see.
 
I don't know if remaking gta vice city is the optimal choice, in a way they've already perfected the 80s with 2 games.

They could have done London but I think GTA has become about parodying the American dream, could they even successfully pull of a parody of modern British society?

I think Rockstar's ethos is now GTA is for parodying modern society and their secondary titles such as Red Dead, La Noire etc will pay homage to other time periods.

In terms of periods covered in 3D there's

18th century - Red Dead Dead
Late 40s - LA Noire
80s - Vice City/VCS
Early 90s - San Andreas
Late 90s - LCS
Early 2000s - GTA 3
Late 2000s - GTA IV
2010s - GTA V
2020s - GTA VI

That just leaves the 50s, 60s and 70s not done in 3D, so maybe they'll release a non-gta game to cover one of these periods. Perhaps they could even do something set in or around the two worlds wars.
 
It's growing on me, I initially did not like it at all but after watching it multiple times it looks cool.

I also don't get the disappointment at 2025 date. It was never going to be any earlier than that, and it may very well be postponed beyond 2025 anyway.

Plus people would bemoan them rushing it out if it dropped next year and was another Cyberpunk
 
A proper next gen police system would be incredible too. They had aspects of it in GTA V and RDR2.

You could maybe change it in the options if you don't want it but having it where you could be hunted by the police and tracked down leading to a big manhunt would be cool. Or just smarter AI for it. Like if you're hiding from the police and you lose your wanted level you can just run past them 2 seconds after they were just looking for you.

There's an amazing mod for IV that completely revamps the police system.

Things like them not immediately engaging you but if they get a description of you then they'll be suspicious and obviously if they've got the details of a stolen car they'll be after you. Just little things to make it a little more tricky and realistic.

Anyway, the trailer - noticed the characters don't look much different from V characters. Expected to be blown away by next-gen graphics and they look a bit old hat. Skin textures still look like clay. Especially noticeable in the part on the beach with characters in bikinis.

I got really bored of GTA online and I don't think Florida is the best place for a game to be set - there was an NFS game recently that was set in a Florida environment and there just wasn't enough variety to make it worth it. Vice City was less interesting than the GTA3 map but made up for it with a better story and the vibe. I'm sure they'll pack in as much as they can from everything they've learnt from V and RDR2 but I'm sure they'll be making it more obvious than ever to sell you Shark cards and will ruin it with OP things like the Oppressor and Deluxo.

Btw this looked fecking great for its time. Back then it felt incredibly realistic with the imagination doing the rest. 20 from now GTA6 will probably look bad - doesn’t mean that’s a reason to keep doing the same setting.

I’ll put it this way, MGS2 blew me away in a way that RDR2 /GoW could not - because for it’s time it was absurd looking whereas the latter two were great but not quite that ahead of their time (GoW did have a big affect on me but more in teams of the visual and narrative design).

Personally I don’t see an issue. Every developer has their own forte. Rockstars is Americana open worlds - so what other options were there for a modern day map? Texas?! LA? New York? The options aren’t as diverse as people think.
