How much time have you spent in Florida, and specifically Miami?
Gaming Grand Theft Auto VI | Trailer out now
- Thread starter VeevaVee
- Start date
Enough. Wasn't for me.
I'd be saying the same if it was set in Las Venturas because I really wasn't enamoured with Las Vegas.
Just be thankful it's not set in St. Helens.
St. Helens is as equally beyond parodying.
I hate LA but loved Los Santos and GTA V because it's a video game and enhanced the good things and took the piss out of the shite things.

Dull is not a word I’ve ever heard used to describe Miami, so the vagueness of your response makes me assume not much.
Same for Vegas really, I can fully appreciate some people not liking it but dull certainly wouldn’t be a reasonable word for it.
Once you see past the neons there's nothing to either place. Vapid, plastic and naff. Not often I go somewhere and think 'I wouldn't go back' but those two I definitely did.
Well let's hope they pull it off with VI eh?
Sounds more like you personally need a break from the news cycle than anything else.
Such a good song choice, hit that out of the park for me. It already feels like it’s going to be special.
As long as they won't bring too much Saints Row absurdity slop like mechs, jetpacks, superpowers etc. it has potential to be a decent GTA game.
Don't think GTA would go for stuff that isn't at least rooted in reality, just not their style. Having said that, there was a jetpack in San Andreas.
I'm not sure where you'd go to top Miami + the Keys + whatever city to the north for a GTA game given they just recently did New Orleans (albeit in a different era) and did LA and NYC before that.
Seattle + Vancouver is viable I guess, as is Chicago. The only slam dunk is San Fran/Oakland + Reno or Vegas with mountains & desert in between.

people play the game all kinds of ways. There will be socially anxious people who haven’t ever gone to a nightclub but going there in the game lets them do that. There’s also thousands of videos on YouTube of people who have effectively created their own missions/storyline.
Oh man I’d love one set in Seattle during the early 90’s grudge era. That’s my wet dream - going for a Nirvana concern in between missions.
Nah he’s a fully grown man. He doesn’t waste his time playing purple childish video games.
Side note: I’ve always thought it was worth Rockstar making a sequel or something to Bully. I only played it once they re released it on the PS4 so obviously some years after the initial release but it was still quite popular.

Really disappointed by the trailer.
The game world and density will surely be incredible and set new standards in gaming, as Rockstar's main releases usually do, but this was the most generic, bland, soulless, goofy trailer I've ever seen from them. I didn't feel the Rockstar touch at all, it felt like a generic Ubisoft title to me...half the trailer just Instagram reels and showing crazy Florida man stereotypes, women twerking and crocodiles.
I also hope Jason will be a fleshed out character with his own story and thoughts, and not just a yes man for Lucia. The next trailers will probably properly introduce both protagonists.
I'm still optimistic that it's just this trailer that doesn't do it for me and the game will be amazing...but I didn't wait 10 years for this. I also wanted NYC, or Chicago, or some other midwest location after a decade of Los Santos.
I still trust Rockstar, though, as all the main installments since III are all-timer games and childhood favorites of mine, as well as RDR2.

Starting to wonder what the new gimmick will be this time. San Andreas had 3 cities, GTA IV came with a sick car crash physics, GTA V had 3 switchable characters in real time, and now after 10 years of waiting can't really tell what it's going to be.
Perhaps minor details like gas tank mechanic, skateboarding, speed tickets could be immersive, but think could be something on a way bigger scale.
No it isn't.
I know what you mean by that, it comes across as a bit GTA by numbers with some deliberately over the top characters and stereotypes. It looks beautiful but didn't really hit for me.Really disappointed by the trailer.

I'm still confident in Rockstar though and the world is obviously very well built so I think the game could still be top class.

This Redditor has a very interesting take on the plot from the trailer shown. Well worth a look!
He posits that the male character is possibly working undercover for the police and that somewhere along the journey his feelings become real for the female character, who of course, is the criminal element in question. That leads to potential where the Bonnie and Clyde thing plays out.

Some of that sounds very plausible.
Not an undercover cop sent to catch her in particular, that wouldn't make sense. Possibly investigating some major criminal element she's involved with.
And like with GTA5 there will be split endings probably based around whether he betrays her at the end or not. Or whether he confesses and she kills him.

They're not going to give too much away – both in order to build excitement over multiple trailers, and also so that other developers don't get a head's start on what to copy!Really disappointed by the trailer.

It does sound plausible – and of course every single detail in the trailer will have been put there for a reason – R* know that people will go over these with a fine tooth comb!
I agree, and don't get me wrong: I've always loved Rockstar's humor and how they make fun of America and their society, it's just that I hope it won't be the main theme of this game.
I'd never stop playing that.
You're such a hipster
@teambrianGB (no longer on here apparently) had the idea of a GTA set in Hong Kong/Shenzhen, where you get 6 stars for littering on one side of the border, and it's no laws on the other side. I thought it was a great idea.
I expect the soundtrack to very heavily feature Rick Ross. Otherwise what's the fecking point of it being in Miami?
There already is a GTA set in Hong Kong: Sleeping Dogs. Great game.
Since Elon said he can't play GTA because he can't get himself to commit virtual crimes I had an epiphany and can no longer play this either. From here on out I will be free of negative actions and thought like Lord Musk.
I think most of the shots are probably snippets from cutscenes for quests etc.Damn that looks great. The shot of the Keys was just
If the density of those crowds is legit and not just for cinematic purposes then it's gonna be a cracking game.
The shot from 12 seconds where it pans up over the ocean to the beach looks to me like an opening cutscene or even an opening to the actual game when you first start. Far too staged and perfect, it looks like a Sim City game. I say that as a compliment.
In fact the one shot that I thought looked a bit underwhelming was the Tokyo drift slide late on, that certainly looks in game and looks actually pretty blood empty, granted its clearly a remote location but no moving cars or people. Doesn't have the same gloss as the rest of the trailer.
did they show what happens when you boof prossies in your car? the motion used to get me started but moving the camera around to the front of the car, and seeing them just sitting there motionless, really knocked me out of my stride.
Great call, I loved True Crime NYC. Made by the same lab and an exact replica of Manhattan Island too.
