With the plethora of great games getting released every month on PC, it's very hard to feel any excitment for a game that will probably release in 2027 on PC. It doesn't help that GTA Online left a sour taste, and even the single player story was only great for the first few hours then you just start doing heists for the fbi for the rest of the game. Considering we're only getting a cinematic trailer after all this wait, I'm expecting already multiple delays or cyberpunk-level of disaster at launch

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.

[-] cryostars@lemmyf.uk 27 points 7 months ago

Yeah that's my question. Like many others, I grew up with the single player only GTA experience. I have so many core gaming memories just fucking about in GTA 3/vice city etc. I just really hope we get a decent single player experience.

The shark card whale bonanza killed any excitement I had for the franchise. I know they are gonna just milk the shit out of it, and it will probably cut into the quality of the game/experience. On the plus side, smaller games like Last Train Home kick ass and are a ton of fun, and I'm looking forward to another indie game coming out next year.

As a former Floridian, this is definitely triggering my PTSD as they seriously nailed the atmosphere of Vice City (Miami). Curious if the main characters will be as well written as V's were

I'm more interested of how much satire, sarcasm, irony and parody they bring into gta 6. Not really care about graphics since whats shaping up gta is the satirical of the world especially usa.

If they still keep those in check on release, rockstar still had the balls.

Even though it is coming from rockstar main studios, I just hope it won't be end up like Saints Row reboot which turn out become massive joke and the volition had to close up lmao.

The retards in the comments are giving me cancer.

Did we watch the same trailer? This looks fucking amazing. None of this is actual gameplay footage, and about two scenes actually look like cutscenes. but it’s all been rendered IN ENGINE. Just like every other fucking Rockstar trailer to ever exist. This looks freaking insane.

People are shitting on the 2025 release date like…..bruh. RDR2 took 8 years to develop. Rumors say this has been in development since 2019 or so, right after the release of RDR2. So 6-7 years which makes perfect sense. I’m not happy about the nearly two year wait but it fits with the development timeline.

Jesus christ I hope Rockstar parodies all of your asses to show how fucking negative the internet has become.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 6 months ago

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

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.

[-] Monster96@lemmy.world 52 points 7 months ago

I have a strange feeling about the story for this game. Here's my prediction:

Lucia breaks out of prison with the help of Jason and an outside character. Lucia and Jason then go on the run turning into a Bonny and Clyde story. Doing heists and robbing people to make some cash to get away from the cops. But then, they rob the wrong person or they were forced to rob the person by the other character and are forced into the drug trade. Maybe the other character was a narco that either Lucia or Jason knew. The FIB or DEA catch wind of this and since Lucia and Jason prove to be very good criminals, they then rope them into taking down the drug trade by robbing and pulling heists.

This goes on until they both eventually find a way out or plan to pull "one last heist" that'll free them from both the narcos and the FIB or DEA. But then, whoopsie, turns out either Lucia or Jason had some ulterior motive for tagging along with one another. While Lucia or Jason was in prison, they struck a deal with either the narcos or FIB to either escape the country or wipe their record. The catch? They had to bring the other person in, kill them, or just generally betray them.

Then the final act would be one of three options. Lucia kills Jason, Jason kills Lucia, or they both fight the narcos and FIB together Bonnie and Clyde style. Either way, bullets are gonna be flying.

The end game would be only Lucia or Jason are left alive and free of both the narcos and FIB. But, Maybe they became a crime Lord in the drug trade thanks to the other person dying or the FIB unknowingly.

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

[-] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago

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

Not disappointed in the trailer or the game or anything, but I would've loved to see a GTA set in a city outside the US. For example in a London-like city or Tokyo or Rome or Paris.

But yeah this new GTA looks sick. They did a great job in capturing the new fucked up Florida vibe.

If Rockstar wanted to bring back London '69 (maybe '89 now?) I wouldn't be mad at all.

They have police in those city.

All 2022 Rome had only 16 homicides... And street are too small and traffic is too bad for a grand theft auto... Rome is good for spy stories, thriller or stealth games. GTA wouldn't really work

In London not even police has guns... Having someone hanging around with a gun is too unrealistic, more than Harry potter

Sleeping Dogs is probably as close as you'll get. That's a great game btw.

USA as a very car centric country is definitely best suited for a car centric game like Grand Theft Auto.

Knowing Rockstar put off development of this game for as long as they did just so they could milk GTAO for every last penny makes me hesitant at best.

I have never been let down by a GTA campaign, but they know where the money is, I'm hesitant to believe they will give this one the attention it deserves after seeing the profits from GTAO. Or maybe I'm just pessimistic

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 26 points 7 months ago

GTA5's campaign was fairly good, but it sucks they abandoned the planned additions and shoved the assets into GTAO only. I do not care to play GTAO, but I would have liked more things to do in single player. Knowing that this is likely going to have single player solely as a pipeline into GTAO though, yeah I'm sceptical too.

Am I the only one who no longer cares for GTA series after the Shark Code shitshow series has become ans the dropped promise of single player mods and DLC?

[-] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

Looks great. I knew after the RDR2 crocs we were going to be getting much better wildlife, which is very exciting.

Graphics look awesome, promising Bonnie and Clyde story.

Seem to have expanded out their in game social media and Internet designs.

Figured it would be 2025 as historically the first trailer always comes out around a year and a half before the game is slated to.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 32 points 7 months ago

GTA is out of touch with the times. These days it's all grand theft catalytic converter and leave your car in a shit state where you don't know what's even wrong with it if you aren't a mechanic.

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 30 points 7 months ago

I'm cautiously optimistic. I really hope this isn't the first GTA game they ruin. I hate that they discarded the additions to GTA V's single-player in exchange for GTA Online updates, I hope they won't do that here, even though I did actually enjoy GTA Online too.

Stoked for Vice City and the graphics look pretty good!

Won't hold my breath for PC release in 2025 but one can dream.

The fact that they got the twerk animation to be so realistic gives me confidence that they're raising the bar and putting in the work on this game. Also every rule 34 modder is gonna take full advantage of this

If 2025 deadline is met then will probably be 2026-2027 for PC release.

Of all the trailers, this certainly is one.
