No, it won't come close to matching the impact GTA 6 is going to have.

Budget wise it's close. Also should be comparing to GTA7, that's when the releases will align.

It will have a bigger impact as it will be the biggest gaming-related heist in history.

A fun little reminder. They have spent 14 years working on squadron 42.. while it would be unbelievable if they managed to actually ship that game next year, please keep in mind.. it won't be the full game. Only the first of three planned episodes.
That's right. After 14 years they are proudly proclaiming that 1/3rd of their planned single player game might be of a similar quality to a completed gta 6 experience.
The audacity of this guy.

I will believe in this game once it releases.
Not before.

Are you serious? 3 episodes and they will release just one of them next year? That's insane.

Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
As SQ42 is the part that looks the most finished, i can believe that. Its on that scale as CP2077.
But 2026 it should make then.

I honestly would like to give CIG money in exchange for a copy of Squadron 42 next year.
But... I said the same thing last year. Is it actually ever going to release?

I'm not a fan of the low hanging fruit insults on the game and can only say that this is one of my most anticipated games in a long time (S42).
Probably more than GTA6. My mind hasn't watered on Squadron 42. It's cost a mess of money but seems like it will be epic.
GTA6 is a new edition of something we've already experienced. It's safe and will be big budget but that doesn't give it a pass over something we never see in an epic fully realized game like S42. That is something people are sleeping on and giving GTA a pass since it's another high budget GTA.
Squadron 42 doesn't come around all the time and as someone who's been playing games from the early 80's on, it's one of a kind in comparison to GTA6.

Over 13 years and $800 million later and most people still have no idea what to expect from Star Citizen as a finished game. Meanwhine it seems every 12 year old on this planet knows what GTA is and what it's about...

It's just a space adventure game.

I'm sure a superfan would try to tell you that episode 1 is the full originally promised game, and the other two are 'sequels'
But yes. There's three episodes planned, and if you purchased the game 14 years ago that only entitles you to the first episode, you'll have to buy the other two when they come out 20-30 years from now. Can't imagine they were too enthusiastic about the idea of people who spent $30 ages ago getting the full game.. what a convenient solution.

Yeah I paid for early access when I first got my PC back in 2014. Played a few hours and never really went back for much time as it's an unoptimised mess. To think that those of us that have been waiting all this time aren't going to get the full package is a bit of a piss take. Oh well.

It's on track to dethrone DNF. Congrats!
But when regular dev times today are close or over to what the first Stalker was laughed at, nothing is surprising. Some games have way too much money (and time) to burn through while probably a lot of talent never gets the needed funding. Just awesome.

Hoping for it, big difference.
Still a pipe dream though.

Everything is just a game. This is more than just the next space adventure game based on playing Star Citizen and the latest showings of the last year or so.
To me lol
