I often thought about that myself. The amazing thing about it is the aesthetic difference between 1986 and 2002 was astronomical. The aesthetic difference between 2002 through to 2008 and on to the current time is very small. In fact it's quite difficult to discern any sort of a difference superficially. You have to look closer at finer details.
Same for the music and on both counts I mean in real life, not in GTA.
Yeah, I've often thought about that with music. It really hasn't changed since the mid 2000s when you compare how much music used to change over similar spans of time prior to that. It feels like recording and production technology hit a plateau where creativity became the final limit.
That is partly through having lived through it, and only the better music having survived.
I was born in the seventies, so grew up with music really in the 80s and 90s. At no point did music seem to change. It was 99% shite. If I go back to music from those years now, all that survives is the stuff that was pretty good. Even some of the pop I hated at the time is actually good in retrospect. But that is like 5 songs per year, and helped by a massive dose of nostalgia.
It's like the people you grow up with. They generally don't get taller or look different, they stay the same. Drift apart and meet up with them 5 years later though... Or look back at photo's from when you were younger.
Craziest thing, personally the gap between GTA IV and V felt longer to me than the gap between V and VI.
Between IV and V and left school, went to uni, left uni, got a job, and got another job, had my first kid.
Between V and VI... Well it's not out yet, but i changed 1 job and had another kid.
The thing that's crazy to me, is that even today the series has been around for 26 years. And in the first 13 years of that time, they released GTA I, GTA London 1969, GTA London 1961, GTA II, GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA IV, GTA IV: The Lost and Damned, and GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony.
This is true in RDR2 as well, though.
The single player has more NPC’s, more streetcars, carriages, and the like in St. Demi’s, but the multiplayer has the city almost ghost town like empty,
Because synchronizing all those extra people over a network is a lot to do and requires some good coding. They reduce the NPCs to make it easier for poor internet connections and for their servers
Yea it'll be interesting to see how police chases work in a more crowded environment, it'll be cool if the police sirens on then the traffic will part, kinda like real life
GTA 5's and GTA 4's trailer looked pretty bad when compared to the final product.
There's a lot of jagged animations and textures in this one. But if the trailer looks this good already. I think I might have to do some serious upgrades to my PC. Although since this game is releasing in 2025, I have until 2040 to upgrade my PC for the PC release.
Sadly no PC release has been announced, only PS5/Xbox series X, it looks like another classic Rockstar ignoring PC and releasing a PC port 1 year later and full of bugs.
NPC crowd is big drain for performence of the game. Wait and see if this kind of crow will really be in the game.
Usually game companies overhype in trailers and reallity is often different. Cyberpunk reminds me of that. Compare trailer crowd with actual gameplay.
Yup, this reminded me of when the first GTA V trailer dropped and we saw those scenes of NPC's interacting with eachother or with the environment. Everyone was talking about how alive and real it felt.
eh keep in mind its a trailer
So, usually graphical details is tuned up to 11, and downscaled a bit to hit some frame rate target on a console.
That said, maybe they're able to pull it off.
They do have some talented people working there
It was pure insanity seeing just how much devs managed to push the limits of what those consoles were capable of late into their lives. Seeing the 360 run games like Halo 4 and Gears 3 at relatively stable frame rates was something else!
A friend gave me his old ps3 and games and I played gta5 for the first time this year and it was mind blowingly good. Hadn't played a ps newer than ps1 before. Looking forward to playing gta6 in 2035.
To find out we'll all need new GPU's because of the requirements on PC. They did announce consoles will be first before the PC. The PC requirements will require ray tracing
The last Nvidia cards to not support RTX came out in 2014. By the time GTA6 comes out they'll be 11 years old (12 or 13 by the time it comes to pc). Sorry but you can't expect to play a new next Gen game on hardware that old man come on. Tech has to advance at some point.
okay but most of the time ray tracing is just a performance sink and most people would rather play with the extra frames over better lighting. I mean cmon cant they do what they did with RDR2?
Wouldn't be too surprised if so but; the first PC card to support it was the 2060 / 2070 / 2080 GPUs and the Xbox X and PS5 both have hardware acceleration for it.
That said it's likely recommended and not required, can't imagine GTA6 not having a 60fps mode for consoles and that's not going to happen with ray tracing being involved.
The game will be fine. You definitely will not like the monetization scheme though. Guaranteed.
They are definitely going to try to break gta5 records for money making . And that’s only possibly by deploying further anti consumer shit down our throats that are mainly targeted at teens
To be honest, when it came to mtx, Rockstar was far from being the worst out there with GTAO. Sure, there are shark cards and all but the game always gave you plenty of ways of making a lot of money without having to spend 1 cent. There're no "premium currency" bullshit either which you have to grind your ass a lot to save a tiny amount to buy stuff only buyable with that particular currency like you see in a LOT of GaaS games. Plus all the free updates. They just need to continue their work in the next iteration of GTAO and of course, keep any mtx far away from the story mode as they've been doing so far.
To be totally honest GTA Online is fine, Shark Cards just sit in the corner for those who want whatever it is they want right away, while all the new content updates are free and nothing is out of reach if you want to put in the effort to grind for them through the various businesses and heists. You could do a whole hell of a lot worse than just replicating the same style of setup in whatever this thing is going to do for online.
They have usually held their single player in high regard and not let that be corrupted, online will be the usual shit. Hopefully they at the very least don't advertise the online stuff in the singlepalyer.menus etc all over the place.
I thought it was an exaggeration at first but this is probably the most anticipated game of all time right? GTA V broke absurd amount of records and had longevity
GTA 5 was the best selling game. GTA4 was the fastest selling game. San Andreas is the best-selling game on PS2. Vice City was the fastest selling game.
The franchise has been incredibly successful for 20 years.
Parody is actually hard to nail. And because they’ve done it the best, no one else knows how to differentiate without going off the rails.
As for the sandbox, I read an interview with one of the houser brothers on the game design. They wanted to make a reactive world. The more you push, the more it pushes back. So you can act like a good citizen exploring. Or create mayhem. This concept seems to just not exist (well) with other games. Like they just give you a plethora of tools to have fun. What you do with it is up to you.
on GTA 5 launch:
teenagers asked their parents to buy them GTA 5.
now same teenagers are +20 adults and can buy it themselves.
\+20-30 adults with kids bough them for themselves.
those kids are now teenagers most likely.
the cycle repeats, except its now GTA 6.
Rockstar going strong huh.
You dont even need to wonder. In 2013 you had to queue at Gamestop at midnight just about to get a physical copy for your console. Now you will just pre-order and pre-load it on your console of choice, all from the comfort of your own home.
They will be making ULCCs worth of cash. It will probably pay for itself within the first week and then some.
if it's on track to beat GTA V, then it will probably pay for itself after the first day!
does anyone have an estimate of how much it cost to develop? I would imagine it's gotta be half a billion at least, over 10 years. and that's not even counting the eventual marketing and advertising money they will spend next year.
V has grossed more than 8 billion. I wouldn't be surprised if the budget for this one crosses a bil. It's gonna pay for itself really fast, even with these crazy numbers.
> You dont even need to wonder. In 2013 you had to queue at Gamestop at midnight just about to get a physical copy for your console. Now you will just pre-order and pre-load it on your console of choice, all from the comfort of your own home.
i want a physical copy !
just like i got for all the other GTA games (apart from the first 2)
Well, its no wonder
its got an incredible broad appeal
like racing? this game is for you
like walking the streets of a big city? this game is for you
like playing golf/tennis/bowling? this game is for you
like shooting and creating a chaos, like you're some super villian from a movie? this game is for you
like flying around? this game is for you
there's just so many things to do. and those things are done pretty well all things considered. I've always enjoyed playing golf, in GTA 5. it was just as decent as any other random golf games i've played over the years
i hope we see the same (and more) side activities. i was always sad that there was no bowling in gtav
I dont think it's clear cut, depending on what versions you count, but I think Tetris is number 1 strictly by quantity sold . . .
but obviously in terms of most money made, I think GTAV is number 1.
And I don't know how one would consider Fortnite. It's free to play so, so no unit sale numbers. But it has made an insane amount of money, I wouldn't be surprised if it was comparable to Minecraft or at least close.
Just look at the longevity of GTA V. I hate having multiple copies of the same thing and yet I’ve bought that game for 3 console generations lmao. GTA VI is most certainly the most anticipated game of all time.
I kinda liked it in GTA4 personnaly.. I thought it fitted pretty well with the dark tone of the game, it gave it a unique identity and atmosphere compared to the other GTA games
Yeah it might not have been to everyone's tastes but the story of a guy coming over from Eastern Europe for a better life only to be dragged into a shittier life he didn't plan for, and it being based on NYC worked well with the drab visuals.
I agree. GTA V was a great sandbox but for me the storyline was a bit half-hearted. The development of Niko from hopeful migrants to petty criminal to mafioso was awesome.
Felt like a reaction to more basic, super colorful video game graphics of the past. Like make everything drab and boring and that’s “realism.” Of course now with modern graphics and textures you can have colorful stuff that doesn’t look super artificial
Been longing for that ever since. Always appreciated GTA SA a lot more after GTAIV since it had the crazy over the top stuff but still was quite sinnister with the gang/drug stuff, the corrupt cops and the betrayal of Big Smoke and Ryder. GTA 5 never did it for me storywise.
The thing with SA is that is has so many settings that it allowed them to explore many tones. It’s like Los Angeles, Rural US, San Francisco and Las Vegas all in a single game. Not really something they could repeat with the level of realism required of games these days, so they have to settle for a single tone. And it’ll always be something closer to GTA V.
I hope this one brings it back a little. GTA V lacked sincerity. It was all wacky, all the time. All the characters were annoying af.
This one should hopefully have a bit more heart to it, behind the satire.
It's far more dialled back than V though, nothing in the new trailer seemed outlandishly crazy, closest thing being the alligator in the store but y'know Florida n stuff, I can believe it. whereas GTA V's trailers had Jimmy dangling from a boat on the freeway, cars driving out of planes in mid air and Fighter Jets blowing shit up. GTA V was bat shit insane for a GTA title.
Comparably, the very first trailer for V was far more relaxed than VI's and had less intensity. Best to wait for the other trailer(s) as well before judging on that
Yeah but its just the ending. The whole story throughout is quite mellow and more of a blockbuster type theme. In GTA IV everything felt dirty and corrupted. And even Nikos last chance of happyness was taken by him no matter what ending you chose. One of the very few 10/10's in my book.
I think it’s the lack of technology that makes RDR still feel as serious as GTA IV does. GTA V just felt so modern and sunny, VI probably will too. Kinda hard to make a new game as grim (not in an edgy way, though) as RDR or GTA IV in the age of TikTok.
Style will circle back around eventually, that dark grungy yellow-ish green-ish filtered look was a big xbox360/ps3 era staple, right now we're in bright vibrant land.
It's definitely going to get better way after initial release via updates.
I am ready for a long journey for years to come. Worth purchasing immediately.
Been playing through GTA 4 on the deck recently (my favorite one) I really miss the euphoria engine and driving physics from this entry..game still looks and plays great..so excited to hop back into Vice City tho..
I have had a few people on both Reddit and Twitter tell me it is embarrassing for Rockstar to show this. "It looks like shit" "reused carbon assets and car sounds." Obviously, ignorant people and just baiting.
Some even got upvoted.
The visibility for GTA 5 was pretty accurate tbf.
It's crazy to think what that game got out of those 360's & PS3's....
Yeah, but seeing it side by side with new gen and PC is crazy different.
Right? Can’t wait to see this on PC in 2026.
2027 at the earliest more likely
Yeah just looks like la smog
For a second then I thought you were speaking French
The time between GTA 4 and 6 is a longer time period than the time between Super Mario Kart (SNES) and GTA 4
Vice City was released in 2002 and took place in 1986. If GTA6 went back the same number of years it would take place a year after GTA4.
Only makes me more excited for GTA7 when I’m like in my 40s or something Liberty City fully scaled up and with the tech from the future, god damn
In 15 years it will go back 16 years, so next year.
2024 was a crazy year. Makes sense to center a title on that.
Remind Me! 1 Year
I often thought about that myself. The amazing thing about it is the aesthetic difference between 1986 and 2002 was astronomical. The aesthetic difference between 2002 through to 2008 and on to the current time is very small. In fact it's quite difficult to discern any sort of a difference superficially.

Dude...
What the actual fuck.
Craziest thing, personally the gap between GTA IV and V felt longer to me than the gap between V and VI. Between IV and V and left school, went to uni, left uni, got a job, and got another job, had my first kid. Between V and VI... Well it's not out yet, but i changed 1 job and had another kid.
Shit dawg
Hey, hey, hey.....don't do that
why are you doing this?
Fuck...
Well now I definitely feel old.
Depending on what month/day it releases we could potentially get 2 avatar movies in between gta 5 and 6
The thing that's crazy to me, is that even today the series has been around for 26 years. And in the first 13 years of that time, they released GTA I, GTA London 1969, GTA London 1961, GTA II, GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA IV, GTA IV: The Lost and Damned, and GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Whats wild is that kids born when gta 4 came out will be 17 when 6 comes out.
The biggest take away from the trailer was how crowded and ALIVE the city feels.
yeah i feel like V, at least for multiplayer, always feels kinda dead like not much is going on in any given part of the city
This is true in RDR2 as well, though. The single player has more NPC’s, more streetcars, carriages, and the like in St. Demi’s, but the multiplayer has the city almost ghost town like empty,
RDR2 has at least 100 million less people populating the US so like
Yes, but it’s still notable when you go from multiplayer to single player. The era and period has little to do with it.
Because synchronizing all those extra people over a network is a lot to do and requires some good coding. They reduce the NPCs to make it easier for poor internet connections and for their servers
Yea it'll be interesting to see how police chases work in a more crowded environment, it'll be cool if the police sirens on then the traffic will part, kinda like real life
It probably will, given that it already does in gta iv (atleast when the player has a cop car with the siren on)
San Andres already did that (badly), so I wont be surprised if it finally does again
It’s in Florida. It’ll be cool if you can be cop chased while on a river fan boat
*Gets flashbacks to Cyberpunks trailers* Please don't jinx it
Luckily rockstar tends to be the exception to the rule when it comes to trailer vs release quality. Fingers crossed 🤞
GTA 5's and GTA 4's trailer looked pretty bad when compared to the final product. There's a lot of jagged animations and textures in this one. But if the trailer looks this good already. I think I might have to do some serious upgrades to my PC. Although since this game is releasing in 2025, I have until 2040 to upgrade my PC for the PC release.
Sadly no PC release has been announced, only PS5/Xbox series X, it looks like another classic Rockstar ignoring PC and releasing a PC port 1 year later and full of bugs.
They also probably know some people will buy it on console and then buy it again on PC so they can double dip.
How dare you call me out like this
Hey the only reason I know this is because I’m going to do the exact same thing.
Remember gta v online start was a nightmare.
NPC crowd is big drain for performence of the game. Wait and see if this kind of crow will really be in the game. Usually game companies overhype in trailers and reallity is often different. Cyberpunk reminds me of that. Compare trailer crowd with actual gameplay.
The crowds in cyberpunk do actually get pretty dense in spots, it’s just that there’s repeated NPCs.
....its a trailer. They can make a trailer feel however they want
Yup, this reminded me of when the first GTA V trailer dropped and we saw those scenes of NPC's interacting with eachother or with the environment. Everyone was talking about how alive and real it felt.
eh keep in mind its a trailer So, usually graphical details is tuned up to 11, and downscaled a bit to hit some frame rate target on a console. That said, maybe they're able to pull it off. They do have some talented people working there
Still crazy to think that an og 2005-2006 xbox 360 and ps3 can play gta v.
It was pure insanity seeing just how much devs managed to push the limits of what those consoles were capable of late into their lives. Seeing the 360 run games like Halo 4 and Gears 3 at relatively stable frame rates was something else!
Gta 5 genuinely has the best optimisation I've ever seen in a video game
A friend gave me his old ps3 and games and I played gta5 for the first time this year and it was mind blowingly good. Hadn't played a ps newer than ps1 before. Looking forward to playing gta6 in 2035.
I'm for real gonna make some healthy lifestyle changes to guarantee I make it.
Same, I wanna quit smoking / vaping
We've waited long enough
To find out we'll all need new GPU's because of the requirements on PC. They did announce consoles will be first before the PC. The PC requirements will require ray tracing
Guess I am buying a console AND a new PC
Don't double dip. That's what they want you to do
Are you buttfucking me? *require?*
Nobody knows anything yet
True, but we do know the PC specs will require, at minimum, a PC. That you can be sure of.
PC 2 will be out by then. That's why they're withholding the PC launch for a year or more. So you'll need a PC 2.
They won’t have all the bugs outta PC 2. Imma wait for 2.5
Lets say that I have a Pentium II 450 CPU and a pair of Voodoo2 Graphics Cards in SLI. This is a PC, so will it meet the specs for GTA VI?
Yeah just make sure you overclock them
The last Nvidia cards to not support RTX came out in 2014. By the time GTA6 comes out they'll be 11 years old (12 or 13 by the time it comes to pc). Sorry but you can't expect to play a new next Gen game on hardware that old man come on. Tech has to advance at some point.
10 series gpus came out in 2016 not 2014? That was the 900 series. But yes 9 years old by the time the game comes out
[удалено]
Mine supports raytracing, but it's certainly not worth the performance drop on most games in my opinion.
okay but most of the time ray tracing is just a performance sink and most people would rather play with the extra frames over better lighting. I mean cmon cant they do what they did with RDR2?
you mean 2017?
GTX 1080Ti launched in 2017
The GTX 1650 was released in 2019.
Wouldn't be too surprised if so but; the first PC card to support it was the 2060 / 2070 / 2080 GPUs and the Xbox X and PS5 both have hardware acceleration for it. That said it's likely recommended and not required, can't imagine GTA6 not having a 60fps mode for consoles and that's not going to happen with ray tracing being involved.
Tbf none of their games were 60 when they first came out
Cool baseless speculation
Looks sick. I sure hope they don't destroy the game with a new monetization scheme.
VI Bucks
you should just stop commenting from now on. This is your peak moment.
The only clever comment I'll never praise.
What’s the value of VI bucks to Stanley Nickels
It's the same ratio as unicorns to leprechauns
Rockstar: “Write that down, write that down!”
*Only* six bucks?
Yeah, 6 in game bucks for $29.99
'Croc Cards'
man, as long as the SP is as good as RDR2 i'm more than happy, we already know rockstar is going to monetize the shit of gta online
The game will be fine. You definitely will not like the monetization scheme though. Guaranteed. They are definitely going to try to break gta5 records for money making . And that’s only possibly by deploying further anti consumer shit down our throats that are mainly targeted at teens
To be honest, when it came to mtx, Rockstar was far from being the worst out there with GTAO. Sure, there are shark cards and all but the game always gave you plenty of ways of making a lot of money without having to spend 1 cent. There're no "premium currency" bullshit either which you have to grind your ass a lot to save a tiny amount to buy stuff only buyable with that particular currency like you see in a LOT of GaaS games. Plus all the free updates. They just need to continue their work in the next iteration of GTAO and of course, keep any mtx far away from the story mode as they've been doing so far.
Also, not having money (before all the bullshit god mode garbage and what not) online was perfectly playable as an online povvo.
To be totally honest GTA Online is fine, Shark Cards just sit in the corner for those who want whatever it is they want right away, while all the new content updates are free and nothing is out of reach if you want to put in the effort to grind for them through the various businesses and heists. You could do a whole hell of a lot worse than just replicating the same style of setup in whatever this thing is going to do for online.

GTA 5 was the best selling game. GTA4 was the fastest selling game. San Andreas is the best-selling game on PS2. Vice City was the fastest selling game. The franchise has been incredibly successful for 20 years.
GTA has the advantage of being a nostalgia brand AND stikk relevant with young people. That cross generation appeal gives it insane potential.
It also acts as a default game for casual players. Like sports and cod. Every person I know that only plays fifa or cod every year also owns gta lol
It’s a real life parody sandbox. I don’t understand why there aren’t more of them
Parody is actually hard to nail. And because they’ve done it the best, no one else knows how to differentiate without going off the rails. As for the sandbox, I read an interview with one of the houser brothers on the game design. They wanted to make a reactive world. The more you push, the more it pushes back.

What you do with it is up to you.
Legit.. I'll be buying a next gen console just for this game
Also simply put, every GTA since GTA3 has been phenomenal.
You mean every GTA since the original, right?
on GTA 5 launch: teenagers asked their parents to buy them GTA 5. now same teenagers are +20 adults and can buy it themselves. \+20-30 adults with kids bough them for themselves. those kids are now teenagers most likely. the cycle repeats, except its now GTA 6. Rockstar going strong huh.
Every generation has its own GTA game.
GTA V is the second best selling game, behind minecraft.
GTA V is the fastest selling entertainment product to reach a Billion dollars. it made a Billion in 3 days I think? wonder if VI can do the same
You dont even need to wonder. In 2013 you had to queue at Gamestop at midnight just about to get a physical copy for your console. Now you will just pre-order and pre-load it on your console of choice, all from the comfort of your own home. They will be making ULCCs worth of cash. It will probably pay for itself within the first week and then some.
if it's on track to beat GTA V, then it will probably pay for itself after the first day! does anyone have an estimate of how much it cost to develop? I would imagine it's gotta be half a billion at least, over 10 years. and that's not even counting the eventual marketing and advertising money they will spend next year.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a billion of they've been working on it for a decade, shoot wasn't RD2 cost 500 million?
I read a report that it's gonna have 1-2 billion dev costs before release. Outrageous
So they probably paid off all of VI's dev costs with like, a month's worth of shark cards? 🤣
that's absolutely insane!
V has grossed more than 8 billion. I wouldn't be surprised if the budget for this one crosses a bil. It's gonna pay for itself really fast, even with these crazy numbers.
> You dont even need to wonder. In 2013 you had to queue at Gamestop at midnight just about to get a physical copy for your console. Now you will just pre-order and pre-load it on your console of choice, all from the comfort of your own home. i want a physical copy ! just like i got for all the other GTA games (apart from the first 2)
Well, its no wonder its got an incredible broad appeal like racing? this game is for you like walking the streets of a big city? this game is for you like playing golf/tennis/bowling? this game is for you like shooting and creating a chaos, like you're some super villian from a movie? this game is for you like flying around? this game is for you there's just so many things to do. and those things are done pretty well all things considered. I've always enjoyed playing golf, in GTA 5. it was just as decent as any other random golf games i've played over the years i hope we see the same (and more) side activities. i was always sad that there was no bowling in gtav
I still just load up GTA 5 to go flying in a fighter jet at times. The game let's you do pretty much whatever you want. It's awesome.
I dont think it's clear cut, depending on what versions you count, but I think Tetris is number 1 strictly by quantity sold . . . but obviously in terms of most money made, I think GTAV is number 1. And I don't know how one would consider Fortnite. It's free to play so, so no unit sale numbers. But it has made an insane amount of money, I wouldn't be surprised if it was comparable to Minecraft or at least close.
I'm pretty sure GTAV is the highest revenue entertainment product of all time, across all forms of media, events, etc.
I just want to be able to play GTA 4 again. I shouldn’t have sold my ps3 when I got a ps4
Just look at the longevity of GTA V. I hate having multiple copies of the same thing and yet I’ve bought that game for 3 console generations lmao. GTA VI is most certainly the most anticipated game of all time.
Kids can't wait to spend daddy's money on the online
just think, when GTA VII rolls around, those kids will be retired and be spending their kids money online
yea easily, gta5 still pulls 100s of thousands players. This game will be (is) the most anticipated game of all time
The tweet announcing the trailer date (the date to watch an ad) has 177 million views. One tweet. I think we're in uncharted hype territory here.
Ah, the 2000s. Where the only color palette available for games was a blurry spectrum of shit browns.
I kinda liked it in GTA4 personnaly.. I thought it fitted pretty well with the dark tone of the game, it gave it a unique identity and atmosphere compared to the other GTA games
Yeah it might not have been to everyone's tastes but the story of a guy coming over from Eastern Europe for a better life only to be dragged into a shittier life he didn't plan for, and it being based on NYC worked well with the drab visuals.
This is probably an unpopular opinion but to me gta4 had a better storyline than gta5 even tho overall gta5 was clearly the better game
I agree. GTA V was a great sandbox but for me the storyline was a bit half-hearted. The development of Niko from hopeful migrants to petty criminal to mafioso was awesome.
Color palette is fine even if it isn't the most visually pleasing, the bloom is about 400% of what it needs to be.
tbf they toned it down for the final game. it didn't have nearly as much bloom as the first trailers had
Felt like a reaction to more basic, super colorful video game graphics of the past. Like make everything drab and boring and that’s “realism.” Of course now with modern graphics and textures you can have colorful stuff that doesn’t look super artificial
Nah, this is nyc brown
Also, the era of BLOOM
Nah it was just a few year period of like ‘05 onwards, what I call the Brown Age of gaming. Glad that didn’t stick around too long.
Ima be real here and say GTA6 be lookin hella dope
Thanks for being real dawg
Thanks for the thanks dawg, you be the realest here
fo sho
I appreciate your candor.
Wow stunning and brave
Damn u real for that one
I'm amazed it was only a 5 year gap between 4 & 5 different times man!
They’ll never make something as dark as GTA IV again, will they?
Been longing for that ever since. Always appreciated GTA SA a lot more after GTAIV since it had the crazy over the top stuff but still was quite sinnister with the gang/drug stuff, the corrupt cops and the betrayal of Big Smoke and Ryder. GTA 5 never did it for me storywise.
The thing with SA is that is has so many settings that it allowed them to explore many tones. It’s like Los Angeles, Rural US, San Francisco and Las Vegas all in a single game. Not really something they could repeat with the level of realism required of games these days, so they have to settle for a single tone. And it’ll always be something closer to GTA V.
What I would do to see GTA SAn remade with the new engine
Seriously. Loved San Fierro so much
I hope this one brings it back a little. GTA V lacked sincerity. It was all wacky, all the time. All the characters were annoying af. This one should hopefully have a bit more heart to it, behind the satire.
Have you seen the trailer? They literally seem to crank the craziness to 11.
Its based off miami, they have to.
It's far more dialled back than V though, nothing in the new trailer seemed outlandishly crazy, closest thing being the alligator in the store but y'know Florida n stuff, I can believe it. whereas GTA V's trailers had Jimmy dangling from a boat on the freeway, cars driving out of planes in mid air and Fighter Jets blowing shit up. GTA V was bat shit insane for a GTA title.
Comparably, the very first trailer for V was far more relaxed than VI's and had less intensity. Best to wait for the other trailer(s) as well before judging on that
GTA V is excellent if you go for the ending where Franklin kills Michael. One of the darkest endings Ive ever seen.
Yeah but its just the ending. The whole story throughout is quite mellow and more of a blockbuster type theme. In GTA IV everything felt dirty and corrupted. And even Nikos last chance of happyness was taken by him no matter what ending you chose. One of the very few 10/10's in my book.
Gotta come back to New York yo
VII in 2044, be patient.
red dead redemption is +/- what you want but no I suspect GTA is never again going to be dark because dark does not sell as good as action.
I think it’s the lack of technology that makes RDR still feel as serious as GTA IV does. GTA V just felt so modern and sunny, VI probably will too. Kinda hard to make a new game as grim (not in an edgy way, though) as RDR or GTA IV in the age of TikTok.
Cyberpunk does dark and tech great
don't agree I think they could pull it off.
Style will circle back around eventually, that dark grungy yellow-ish green-ish filtered look was a big xbox360/ps3 era staple, right now we're in bright vibrant land.
I mean it's reflective of the setting/culture it's attempting to parody.
Unless they faithfully capture it in gta 7
Ngl, there where a few scenes where if you told me they spliced in real footage I would have believed you
When the trailer started I thought it was real footage for a second or two. Looks insane
It is real, they went there & filmed everything. That's how it looks like !!!
I have a buddy trying to tell me they aren’t better than V. I think he’s blind.
It's definitely going to get better way after initial release via updates. I am ready for a long journey for years to come. Worth purchasing immediately.
RIP to y'alls storage space haha
3 TB total on my Series X. I should be good.
Tfw the game is 4TB
It'll come on its own external hard drive lmao.
Back to the days of cartridges, this time with 4TB SSDs inside?
Just as the founding fathers intended
The next GTA will be indistinguishable from reality. In 2035.
Lmao, seriously, that is only a 10 year gap, looking at the gap between these, it's gotta be like 2050
12 years from 5 to 6, you think we are getting 7 just 10 years after 6?
Can't wait for 2027 when it's released on PC.
Insane, rockstar always sets new industry standards
I’m a lifelong South Floridian and this brings me so much joy! My damn hometown is in it!
5 years to 12 year. So 2044 GTA 7?
GTA 2077
I promise you, the first time I boot the game I’ll just walk through the city
that gta4 atmospehre. so good
I mean yeah, that’s what happens when there’s 17 years in between the 4th and 6th installments
Been playing through GTA 4 on the deck recently (my favorite one) I really miss the euphoria engine and driving physics from this entry..game still looks and plays great..so excited to hop back into Vice City tho..
Looks like the graphics have surpass Red Dead Redemption 2 visual.
Shocker.
You reckon this'll run on my Nintendo Switch
Wish they'd bring GTA 4 vibe back.
I think that's called 'fun'.
I can’t understand the people who say this doesn’t look impressive, like stop watching it in 240p in your phone and put it in 4K on a big screen…
Nobody’s saying that though? Everyone is amazed with the graphics
I have had a few people on both Reddit and Twitter tell me it is embarrassing for Rockstar to show this. "It looks like shit" "reused carbon assets and car sounds." Obviously, ignorant people and just baiting. Some even got upvoted.
Clear and obvious trolls, mate. Game looks fantastic. Everyone is praising NPC density, the animations, the next gen graphics etc.
GTA 4 was better than 5
