Man youre so right… You know they are going console 1st… then when sales die down they will release on PC. Same rinse and repeat bull shit as before.

My question is going to be how online will this one be? If it’s two separate deals like 5 then cool… If not. I’m probably going to pass.

I suspect given the success of GTA online their priorities have shifted and they’ll want this on as many platforms as possible on release. They’re a GTA online company now, units sold are a secondary concern.

Yeah, I am really tired of the double dipping attempts of trying to sell the game twice.

Please not, V’s characters were kinda meh

Yeah, hard to say what they do. If they keep the GTA 5 insanity level then its hardly a parody of real life since thats where real life is at.

It’s going to be the most politically satirical GTA yet and the chuds will think that it’s actually dunking on libruls.

I’m with you. The trailer looks incredible and I am very eagerly anticipating the game.

The trailer showed a lot of things that would likely be a part of the GTA6 story, and for that it looks like the game is geared up to be something incredibly entertaining and FUN!

My only gripe is the PC version is likely to release after consoles :(

This is definitely at least in-engine, likely actually in-game footage:

• characters swimming in the water during both of the beach shots have no animations whatsoever, they just stand on the water like they’re jesus christ.
• one of the container ships in the later overhead shot showing the derelict bridge is entirely untextured and extremely low res, while the rest of the environment is highly detailed
• in the opening shot, parts of the city are billboarded or simple blocks to provide a basic skyline shape, while the areas around the prison are extremely detailed

The NPCs standing on the water also suggests NPCs are driven by the final actor and animation systems, but the animations for swimming or walking through water are just not done yet.

We also see a significant difference between the recreations of florida man memes, where every motion is keyframed to match the original videos, and the parts of the trailer where we see NPCs actually running their regular animation loops, as in the beach, club or road scenes.

Now, will we see this level of quality in game? Yes and no. Usually, a small elite team builds a vertical slice, a single mission in which every little mechanic already works, followed by many larger teams then building the rest of the game, trying to match the quality of the original template.

A good example of this is the original 40min E3 demo of cyberpunk 2077, which exists in the game 1:1 today. This vertical slice was awesome, but later missions usually had fewer alternative solutions, less polished environments and an overall lower interactivity.

So while I’m sure the robbery / prison / parole hearing part is fully fleshed out and will likely be included in the final game as-is, other parts of the game might not reach the same level of realism. Even if you ran the game on the same high-end workstations the developers are using.

None of this is actual gameplay footage,

So there’s nothing to care about in the trailer.

You can generate anything in-engine, it’s not representative of gameplay. Everyone does it and it’s equally shitty. It looks like a minute and a half of cutscenes and, other than character reveals it looks like a normal release. It just looks like smoothed out gta5, so like…gta5 on pc. The achievement wouldn’t be the graphics, it would be “can it maintain the graphics steadily and not drop frames”

Timeline is irrelevant, agreed. it will come out when it comes out.

Two delays and three price changes later, this game will be fantastic when it comes out in 2027

Not surprised, GTA 5 was announce 2011 and release 2013.

Sounds exactly like something Rockstar would write. Kinda predictable, kinda “been there, done that”.

Thanks, you’ve saved me $80.

Based on how Rockstar makes their stories, I predict one of the two is gonna bite the bullet by the end.

By either
A) sacrificing themselves for the other or
B) being in a shootout with help arriving too late.

I think the “escape from prison” part won’t happen, because we see Lucia with an ankle monitor in the promo pic. Implying she’s on parole or something. The rest sounds plausible though.

I’m only interested in GTA 6 for the single player game. Never played GTA 5 online for more than 30 minutes. I wish they had given us some single player DLC, but I guess Rockstar decided they could make the more money selling a handful of kids fake in game currency so why bother. It sucks for those of us that like the single player because it means we get a new game once a decade now. Used to be that Rockstar released a new GTA every couple years.

Yep

Dude that’s why I stopped playing GTA V, I finished the offline story mode and there was nothing else to do for offline.

The GTAOnline situation is super wack, but R* hasn’t stopped delivering great single player campaigns, well technically only one - RDR2 - since introducing shark cards, and it is still completely separate from RDROnline and the paid currency. I won’t pre-order GTAVI still, even once it comes to PC, but I’m going to pick it up if the reviews are halfway decent.

I guess so. I have no idea what you’re talking about. GTA V was awesome.

You’re mad that the online component of GTAV had premium currency microtransactions? Just don’t buy them. Also, there are loads of single player mods for V, don’t know what you mean.

All GTA onlines have the been the biggest pieces of shit in my opinion.

Never spent a cent and never will.

It was real dirty of Rockstar doing that.

I won’t be pre-ordering (because they likely won’t be releasing on PC at launch, ugh), but I have high hopes. There hasn’t been a R* game without a killer story. I kinda expected RDR2’s story to be an afterthought to the online, as that was their first game since GTAOnline, however it was still an awesome single player campaign.

At what point in history did Rockstar release a sub-par game?

I dont remember the gta v launch, but i definatly remember the cyberpunk hype and launch

Help a woman who needs an abortion

⭐⭐⭐

When has Rockstar themselves put out a bad game?

I was thinking the same, but then again taking a long time to put games out isn’t the same as putting out broken games. I mean rdr, rdr2, and gtav are stellar games that launched without any glaring faults iirc. Taking time is fine as long as we get a complete product.

Ahh yes the “cautious gamer that doesn’t think GTA is going to be good” archetype.

Seriously, I’m in NW FL, nowhere near real cities, but this seems spot on.

🥵 ☕

If this isn’t coming out until 2025, I worry about how dated the graphics already look. It’s like they took the same old models/rigs and just brought them into higher definition? Idk, but something looks off about them to me. It definitely doesn’t help the $70-80 price tags that companies are trying to justify when graphics look mostly the same as they ever have.

I think we might have hit peak realism with graphics and need to lean harder into art direction.

Certainly a trailer for one the games of 2025 at that!

Really? I thought the lighting and environments looked good, but the models definitely need some work. They look like clay mannequins in an HD world to me, and I feel like that’s only gonna get more exacerbated since this doesn’t come out for another 2 years.

Meh. I’m going to disagree. I feel the graphics were underwhelming given the time they took. The scenery was beautiful but the characters and NPCs need some major work.

Elden Ring was better. Cyberpunk is better. Fortnite is better.

They are making us wait 2 more years and I don’t even care because it’s been that long and they have fallen behind.
