GTA VI Official Trailer

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?
What a mess, if so.
 
If this is cross gen...

I wonder if this is real time graphics or if it’s a cgi render of what they envision to accomplish by 2025.
i dont know about the "instagram" shared footage but the other scenes sure look like in engine. you can see some hard poly edges in some of the models

Slightly disappointed that the trailer got leaked. Slightly.
But that got Rockstar to drop the GTA VI trailer themselves. And no surprise, what was shown for the trailer looks incredible. But now I want to see some gameplay, which I have accepted the idea that direct gameplay probably isn't being shown until mid-to-late next year.

I guess I'm weird, I think it looks quite similar to GTA V on PC, but everyone here seems to think it looks amazing so I guess I'm missing something.
I think RDR2 still looks more impressive.
 
Who is doing it better with "everything" right now then them regarding open world games?

I am not the one making the claim that GTA6 currently is the "end all, be all, generational leap over every game made" that the hyperbolic shiny new object crew is claiming.

There are some things GTA6 does best in class, others not so much.

Nah. That twerking was impressive

Ass jiggle confirmed

But for me it’s MORE than appearance

The ocean will apparently play a huge role. Surfing etc
We got the boats on the bayou. Forget their name.
People watering their lawn.
Drunken parties on the beach
Parties on the streets
Confirmed that Social media influencer crap will be in the game too

It looks amazing

Looks great..........for a cinematic trailer, even if it was rendered in-engine. Can make a better judgment when we see some official gameplay footage some time next year.

No people will buy it for the ps5 or Xbox series x or pc they have. The only way it would push consoles is if it was exclusive.
 
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.
The reason the 360 worked is because of Sony's mistakes, not because it launched early. MS did a good job of capitalizing off of those mistakes, even though Sony was able to fix them and, in the end, the PS3 still came out ahead. Currently, MS can't stay out of their own way when it comes to Xbox, something they need to fix before they can even dream of taking PlayStation on.

More importantly, Sony are not making those mistakes, again. They're not doing any crazy custom architecture. They also, most likely, are planning on releasing PS6 in 2027, maybe 2028. I doubt anything Microsoft does is going to make them change that plan. If anything it will make the NeXbox look worse because the PS6 is going to be ahead of it in every category since it's releasing ~1-2 years later, and will play an enhanced versions of PS5 games, like GTA6.

I think thats a good sign. You dont want your main character to be too over the top. Thats how you get Trevor being a complete psychopath and unrelateable, franklin dropping n-bombs every five seconds, and michael having a meltdown over his family or over a mission going wrong. stoic is good. The other chick is there to be the foil. This looks fucking serious unlike gta5 and thats a good thing.

What an absolutely ABYSMAL take. Who wants a "Serious GTA?" I mean, I kind of DO want that....in another IP like "Red Dead" or "Agent".

I don't want my GTA to be serious at all. The reason GTA is so fun is because it's completely over the top and satirical.

Those claiming the main protagonists are boring are 100% on point. It has nothing to do with wokeness either, it's just a glaring fact that they look to have very little distinguishing characteristics. It's the videogame equivalent of casting the generic Michelle Rodriguez and Sam Worthington. Completely boring. The GTA characters of old had a lot of character and personality, and I personally loved GTA5 with Trevor being outrageous AF, Michael being a middle aged business man with a mid life crisis, and Franklin representing a different demographic. It made the game have character.

But no, based on what I see. We are getting this.....

I can see MS going for the ultra money hat. Console Exclusive for 6 months to a year(huge bucks would have to change hands)... wait, no... Rockstar doesn't give a shit, I think? They want to drop this on consoles first, DLC, etc... after they feel the revenue stream is starting to taper off, drop the PC version, ignite sales across all platforms again.

Hard to judge this based on 90 seconds of a trailer

However that trailer was 100% the antithesis of serious. 100%

We don’t want a Saints Row GTA. I dont. With superhuman crap and dildo weapons. Sometimes you can be TOO silly.

I want it grounded but characters to have personality.

PC version coming in 2026 it seems😬

Probably stupid question but any possibility they will support VR?

GTA 5 VR mod was really fun. By 2026 even new Meta Quest 4 could come out..

Sure, it was totally not serious I get that. But the person I was responding to wants that.

Unfortunately, the characters do nothing for me based on what we currently see. Maybe that will change, but I seriously doubt it. Trevor is a national treasure.

Switch 2 is probably not happening unless it’s a cloud version. It won’t be powerful enough.
Depending on what rumors are true, it would be hard to pass on if the system is a success and can handle it just enough lol.
They ain't risking parents seeing a big ass Nintendo logo next to anything like GTA on TV. They stand to lose a lot more than they stand to gain. GTA's audience is already established in the competition.
You do know the Wii had Manhunt 2 right. Like the Wii version was literally why it was so dumbed down and edited 😉

This has “this reveal trailer isn’t very good, Arthur Morgan is boring, Rockstar screwed up” energy all over it.

It honestly looks better than I expected. Hope it maintains that quality in game play. Like the vibe of the trailer. Going to sell a shit ton.

Which part of crocodiles wandering into backyard pools, convenience stores, women twerking on car roofs, karens on tiktok, rednecks grabbing their crotch, and hoodlums jacking cars while driving is NOT over the top to you?

You seem to be forgetting that RDR1's story was also full of trevor, franklin and michael like characters even marsten played it straight. it didnt work. you can set your game in a fantasy setting, but the characters HAVE to be relatable. they HAVE to play it straight otherwise you will never take them seriously and you will never take the story seriously, which for a 40-50 hour campaign is going to be crucial. its why they lost the vast majority of goty awards to tlou1 that year. its why they switched to a more serious story with rdr2. and they are continuing it here.

You can still get your fill of insanity in the streets and there seems to be plenty of it.

If you want serious characters, Sam Worthington and Michelle Rodriguez are not my top choice. They are absolutely generic as they come.

Michael in GTAV was perfectly fine in that sort of Ray Liotta way.

The ocean will apparently play a huge role. Surfing etc
We got the boats on the bayou. Forget their name.
People watering their lawn.
Drunken parties on the beach
Parties on the streets

It looks amazing
every scene is from an insta reel if you see the bottom of each video segements.

Expected nothing less than being blown away by it and it did the job. Damn 2025 is a long wait. Not to mention delays. This is why I didn't want to be on the hype train early.

Will get on it like 3 months before actual release. With GTAs the hype is too much to handle for me.

You don't know jack shit about the characters, you can subjectively not like their designs but that's it.
And how the fuck do you come up with Michelle Rodriguez. Just because she is a Latina you compare her with her, really? They do not look alike at all.
