MODERATORS
I don't think a lot of people are going to double dip this time. This game will sell consoles, but it's not going to make up for the deficit the console market has compared to how many PS3s and Xbox 360s were out there in 2013.
I really hope this is true. The only thing that will stop Rockstar from the delayed PC release nonsense in the future is actually stopping the double dip.
I ended up with a PS4 just for Red Dead 2. But I still haven't bought it on PC and have no plans to do so.
The thing is, the PS4 kind of made sense because I also wanted a Blu-Ray player. I still have it for that, so a PS5 would be an impossible sell to me. It's like Rockstar tries to sell consoles but this time around is one of the worst ever console eras.

I love how it starts with Jason saying "Just fixing a few leaks". I see what you did there.
Can't wait to pick this up for $30 on PC 3 years after it's released. Fuck $80 games and fuck double-dip releases that don't release same-day on PC.
There's literally no reason in this day and age to not release on pc on day 1. Xb and ps market share is absolutely losing ground to pc at record time, there's no reason anymore.
If they don't pc release day 1, then I guess gta6 actually just comes out 2027.
I mean there is a reason, and that reason is they can get people to buy it twice.
It's a shitty reason for consumers but a viable one for publishers nonetheless.
And it will still be full of bugs

Good gravy the first few seconds looked like live action. Hope Matt Berry is in this one
That’s wild we got a gta 6 trailer before gta 6
Truly the darkest timeline
GTA VII when?
October 3. The one after the sun implodes.
Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.
I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.
This way I could pass to Linux and don't have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.

Ok so we got a regular GTA story with humour, 2 main characters in relationship (maybe another playable one?) and hopefully a detailed open world to do side activities in. Looks good enough for me. Just make it at least as good as RDR2 and you have my money.
Just cutscenes, no gameplay, as always with these trailers. Cutscenes look nice but that doesn't mean shit.
Why can't they show at least a glimpse of gameplay.

Maybe I’m just old, but I feel like all the people complaining about no PC port at launch, or how this trailer doesn’t show gameplay must be ‘new’ to the series (which to be fair, could mean as much as a decade).
This is how Rockstar have pretty much always done it, going all the way back to GTA3 on the PlayStation 2; PC ports have always been 6+ months after.
Trailer 1 tends to be about the setting, Trailer 2 about the primary characters, then Trailer 3/4 about the supporting characters. ‘Gameplay Trailers’ usually don’t come out around/after launch as that’s usually what’s being still being worked on by the devs.
We will always complain about the lack of a PC port at launch... especially in this era.
We're not going away

The first thing i noticed is the awful amount of TAA/Upscaling artefacting. Apart from that it looks good i guess. I mean its GTA. It will probably be an enjoyable game. But still: Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Take2.
God I hope they don't use temporal anti aliasing. Like trails in vc all over again.

Watched without sound.
It looks... Alright, I guess. Very photo real. Not super colorful. Kind've looks like a modern crime drama, which gives me a bad taste and feels like it's gonna be shitty. That one scene walking out of the convince store with the beer, though, was super trashy and I could get behind that.
A thought I had while watching: gta:vc came out in 2002. It takes place in 1986. That means THAT level of nostalgia and romanticization of the period was only looking back 16 years.
16 years before 2026 would be 2010. They easily could have done another period piece with gta6 for vice City in the 90s, 00s, or 2010s. But I guess now that I think about it, things are more fucked up and insane now than they've been in a long time, so why not satirize what's going on in the world today? It's prime juicy bullshit, kind've like what gta3 did in 2001. So it's fine I guess.
Maybe they'll have good music and really good social commentary? I think then we're entering a new era of GTA - where instead of satirizing and sensationalizing a vibe like a movie would, it's just going to straight up do it to real life. GTA then has a lot of opportunity to reinvent itself, basically, as The Onion - The Game, based in Miami.
Will they? Likely no. It would take balls to make a game essentially shitting all over magas. Rockstar is going to have to pull off a hattrick in their writing and tone to pull this off, despite an open and for the taking goldmine that is reality, and they don't have the cajones anymore.
I'll see how the release does on pc and likely play it as long as they don't monetize it past game price, and maybe future expansions. If there are periodical passes, this might be the first mainline title of theirs I'll skip. The shark cards in gta5online, how grindy that was, the loading times, and hedging tone and neutured jokes in the single player, has them already at a very low karma standing for me. It also better release on steam.
This game will absolutely break records, regardless. This is just me from this trailer, without sound.
I think it's interesting how much nostalgia there was for the 80s 20 years ago, compared to 00s nostalgia today. It feels like the cultural/aesthetic differences between the 80s and 00s are so much stronger than the 00s and today.
All that to say I kinda disagree on making GTA 6 a 2000s period piece

I struggle to connect with any of those characters. I did like Niko Bellic, he was a “character”. Maybe it was his accent, his immigrant’s take on things, don’t remember, it was a while ago.
4s story is my favorite of the series.
The juxtaposition of the immigrant story with the satire of America that gta normally has meshed very well. Thinking of the internet Cafe mission and Brucie. Niiko as a character brought more than the flavor of gang members previous and after.

75 million views on one day is insane
This is what people like. Nice
Based on the dev video leaks, the maggat shitting will be intact.
Apparently there is a lot more info about the game on the official site: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI
It's not loading at the moment but it contains some screenshots, character info, and confirms certain locations that will appear.
The trailer looked gorgeous, possibly the most photorealistic game we've seen yet. I know it was probably recorded on a PS5 Pro, but the fact that it looks this good on console is wild. Still lame that it won't release on PC at release.
