GTA VI Official Trailer

EDMIX

Writes a lot, says very little
24 million views in 3.5 hours.
Only R* can do that.

Truth. Its at like 26 now.

This game literally just got more views on its teaser in 3 hours, then RDR2 did in 7 years.

I don't think many really understand the magnitude of this trailer.

it’s false that GTA6 is doing everything better than every game before it

Who is doing it better with "everything" right now then them regarding open world games?

So said this a couple of months ago here but I believe MS has scrapped the all digital Series X refresh and plan on jump starting the next generation of consoles about a year or so after the launch of the PS5 Pro

Question is IF MS can push that next gen console out about the time of this game and it’s clearly the best place to play it console wise would it help sales enough for MS?

Is this game the reason MS has changed course to push next gen?
The Series X Ultra Pro Plus is the console I’ll buy

I do not own a “next gen console” currently

No reason to do such yet. IMO.

But I’ll be picking one up likely next year at some point or maybe 2025

For now, my little pc with a 1080i and my One X/PS4/Switch keeps me happy

Exactly. I’ll go buy that game tonight that’s doing it better than GTA 6.

On the bright side, you'll be playing this in native 4k, 60 fps on your shiny new PS5 Pro.
Yeah, but with a daughter old enough to demand full attention and not able to distract the wife all the time anymore..

Looks OK.

Lighting looks good, but materials look lacking, the ditthering is distracting, the character skin shaders look very last gen
Yeah, I agree with this. Absurd because GTA V was light years above the competition in this regard when it came out, best SSS ever seen at the time. RDR2 was also damn solid.
There's still plenty of time though.

doesn't look any better than Spiderman or Horizon, but it's 2 years away, so plenty of time to smooth things out.
It's a whole generation above Spider-Man for the simple fact this has dynamic time of day.. while looking better.

And you can bet your ass lighting is going to be light years above Horizon, simply because RDR2 already was in many aspect.

But the game is already built on Series S, as every Rockstar game is tailored around the lowest spec first..

Would be beyond shitty of Microsoft to taint the game because of that console just to then release it on their next-gen platforms.

Yes... that's exactly what the market wants from MS... yet even more Xbox hardware. /s

If this is really their strategy then the next Xbox will do worse than the WiiU.
 
GameCube was more capable than PS2. That’s objectively fact
GameCube could have had the earlier GTA games, that's true.
But your assumption on the Switch 2 is just bollocks.
Already bad enough that this is releasing on that pile of shit called Series S - we do not need another limiter.
If it were not for that, they could have gone for 100% on the XSX and the PS5

Series S was a mistake (given the specs)

This can’t be denied. MS knows this. I’m assuming they’ll scrap it either next year or 2025 latest.

Extreme attention to detail is what sets Rockstar apart from other developers. Game of the generation. Any developer releasing around the time this game comes out should either cancel their game or delay it till next generation.

it worked for the 360 and they are all out of new ideas so they are going back to the well hoping for a repeat.

their goal is to blur the lines between generations. if Sony comes out with a 17-20 tflops console in 2024. they can wait a year or two and release a brand new 30 tflops xbox 2 years before sony releases the ps6 forcing sony to release the ps6 a year early and make mistakes like the rsx and split ram in the rush to release early.

Phew 😮‍💨

Imagine attempting to release a game within 2 months before or after GTA6 launch

Rockstar will break every record for all entertainment

Movies. Music. Games. Etc

That game will make a Billion in under a week. Book it

One can only hope.
Microsoft deserves everything they get for fucking this gen with their greed for wanting to cater to the low price customer segments.
They should have just released a discless XSX instead of limiting the multiplat titles even more.
 
My only slight disappointment is no apparent mountain areas. I know it wouldn't make sense given the location, but Rockstar could copy appalachian regions of Alabama if need be. Hopefully they add it in an expansion down the road, cuz this game will be around for next 15 years

Yeah. Miami doesn’t have that. So. Definitely lol 😂

I hope they sorted out the gameplay of the game this time.
Because GTA4 onwards the on-foot controls have felt like walking through mud.

In 5 they fixed the driving by making it more arcadey, but the onfoot was still the same old sludge - slow response speed in general, hold/press X to run, autoaiming on guns, turning into a non-responsive ragdol when getting mildly clipped by the environment etc.

Rockstar has this in the bag

No penny will be spared making this masterpiece

It may well cost them $600,000,000

But they’ll make it back in 2 days

This will be historic and maybe one of the few times in gaming history that physical copies are sold out on launch

Seriously, this almost feels like the first truly next gen game we’ve seen. I mean I’ve been beating off to Cyberpunk 2.0 path tracing and shit but this looks even a huge jump from there. I think the last time I had my jaw drop from a trailer like this was for GTA IV tbh
I think it is.
Most others, including Cyberpunk and Horizon had their foundations set in last gen.
This should be just the beginning.

Yeah that really is the biggest question. It can look like a million bucks for all I care. If it plays as poorly as their latest titles I’m not interested.

They also need way better/open ended mission designs.

I can see adults finding Mario games more appealing than GTA's edginess.
You forgot this /s

By the numbers, I don't see much to support this. Keep in mind, I'm sure someone finds it more appealing, I would never debate that as it makes no fucking sense, but by the majority, GTA is going to get that appeal as it dealing with subject matter that adults deal with.
It's escapism after all.

I agree, but have you even see the numbers regarding fiction vs non-fiction regarding stuff like this?

Look at reality shows, look at True Crime shows, look at dramas, the vast majority of adults, favor their content to be able the real world, by an almost absurd amount.


I'm able to find, shit maybe 6 or 7 out of that 100 that are fantasy, other worldly type shows.

La Brea
Ghost
Simpsons
The Walking Dead
Bob's Burgers
Quantum Leap
House of the Dragon

keep in mind....most of em are towards the bottom lol

So don't guess, actually REALLY look at what adults are consuming in regards to media. Adults find the relatable, situational and familiar reality of GTA, as something appealing, so GTA cast a wide net of buys from young to adult.

This quote ALWAYS reminds me of the late Bill Paxton telling the late Phillip-Symore Hoffman to go tell Melissa “why you are the way you are”

Twister (1996)
I swear, that is my first recollection of hearing it as well. That movie was always on HBO growing up.
