Could be a big nothing burger but R* updated their YT playlist today. Perhaps another trailer incoming soon?

God, i hope so. It's been a year, dammit.
 
You also know what I'm talking about don't pretend to brush it off. Literally every GTA and Red Dead Game has the same gameplay loop.

Go to point A collect amount of random objects, get caught in a shootout and escape to point B.

Nothing new here and I want to see Rockstar try something new.
Oh god not that cringey nakeyjakey video. You know he did a follow up video backtracking on a lot of that shit right?

Also woah wait! Games from the same developer in the same franchises have similar game design? Holy fuck stop the press. Oh my god. Next you’re gonna be telling me all the halo and destiny games are arena shooters and the Mario games are platformers? Or the gran turismo and forza games are racers?

Simple to ignore me mate, just wanted to give criticism is all :)

We’re definitely due one…

It’s been almost a year since the first and apparently this game is meant to be out in less than a year.

They need to start doing something. I’m still convinced it’s not coming until 2026.

At least give us some screenshots, how hard can that be?!

There's no way this game is coming in 2025, my guess is Spring 2026 and that would be optimisitc.

So maybe something IS happening at The Game Awards? Or possibly releasing something on the 5th of December, which is the same date as the first GTA VI trailer.

No, they don't need TGS. In fact, GTA trailer would overshadow any and all other TGS announcements or trailers.

So that will never happen.

You guys still do not understand how Rockstar operates?

After five GTA games?

They do not release screenshots or trailers willy nilly.

They ramp up trailers and screenshots when the game is almost coming out, in the few months coming up to it.

See RDR2 trailers and GTAV trailers. Also their gameplay showcases.

Them not releasing a trailer is NOT indicative of when the game is coming out.

GTAV's first trailer was released almost two years before the game's release, and the 2nd trailer almost a year before release. And we got plenty on screenshots in 2011 and 2012. The game released in the end of 2013

Yes, there are more media released close to the release. But we saw a lot more of GTAV a year before release than we saw by now from GTAVI.

It is time to release the trailer or at least screenshots right now.

In all honesty, what is a screenshot going to give you?

You still have to wait a whole year before the game is releasing.

If a trailer doesnt come thursday (its plausible), I would bet the trailer is coming in may.

GTA V was also delayed four months.

But you are right, they did share some more media in the meantime.

Here is the entire timeline where you can see what they released and when

The usual ones on Twitter had their bets on December 1 for a announcement for the second trailer, since that was a year ago but clearly didn't happen. It easily could still be this month, I mean we're a year from release, probably less now, if it's indeed still planned for 2025.

It's kinda crazy how we went a full year without any artwork or screenshots. It feels like it's different from V and RDR2 that way, but I'm not sure. Ah well.

Been playing GTA since before Rockstar were even called Rockstar. I know how they work.

GTA V got a trailer November 2011. They went silent until July 2012 which was when we got 2 screenshots (helicopter over city and dude sitting at the park). They were quiet up to about November when we got 2nd trailer just over a year after the first.

That’s when things started rolling. The game was originally advertised as coming out Spring 2013. Pre orders and everything else went up. Game was delayed January 2013 to 17th September 2013.

So yeah we are due a trailer or at least a screenshot if this game is meant to be out 2025. They spent about a year marketing V so assuming the same is true then it’s starting to get a bit late for a 2025 release. My money is on early 2026.

Rockstar games usually have 2 years between reveal and release. V was October 2011 - September 2013. RDR2 was first teased October 2016 and launched October 2018.

VI could still come out late 2025 but we’re into December now with almost a year since the trailer. We might get something in the next few days but if we are into 2025 without anything then definitely gonna be 2026 unless they go for a short marketing campaign.

Well thursday would be a year since the last trailer, its plausible they are doing trailer 2 for then.

If not.. Then I assume the trailer is coming either in february or may.

I feel positive about something soon. With that YouTube playlist changing that is reassuring. Let’s see what happens this week :)
 
If it is a trailer (on the one year date) I can be they won't do it as a Premiere this time since that is how it leaked last time, unless YT has fixed the bug/exploit that was used.

If they don't show anything until February, I'd be even more skeptical that they will release the game by fall 2025.

RDR2 first trailer: Oct 20, 2016 (to release Fall 2017)

RDR2 delay announcement: May 22, 2017 (to Spring 2018)

RDR2 second trailer: Sep 28, 2017

RDR2 second delay announcement: Feb 2, 2018 (to October 2018)

RDR2 third trailer: May 2, 2018

Considering the first delay announcement (~16 months before the expected release date), we should already have heard of it by now if it was delayed.

I'd bet the latest we'll hear about it will be around the end of Take-Two’s fiscal year in March 2025. They delayed RDR2 5-6 months before the expected release in 2017, so realistically we can hear about it pretty late in the process.

To be fake or not to be fake
Fake to be
There’s no way these are real. PS5 and Series X can’t push graphics that good. 2 looks fake as fuck. 3 looks like AI and 4 looks like photoshop.

I know the game looks good but the lighting would need some serious ray tracing to get that.

I'm not a big fan of Rockstar gameplay wise, far from it, but doubting them graphically is wild when RDR2 not only exists but they even got it to run as relatively well as they did on last-gen hardware.

Graphically I'm not worried in the slightest.

I didn't say I was doubting them or worried. I said the game looks good and I think it'll be one of the best looking games to ever release but the lighting in those images look too good. That's some heavy path tracing shit in a video game.

When V launched on PS3 it blew my mind. It had no right looking that good. Rockstar will push these consoles hard for sure. If V is anything to go by then VI will look even better than what it does in trailer 1.

Lol... First RDR2 screenshots.

These games ran on a Xbox One and PS4 base.
yes it's a great looking game. RDR2 on PS4 was amazing.

see above.

There's no path tracing going on in those shots man,

Stalker 2 uses software lumen and it looks that good

I didn't say there was.

I'm not hating on the graphics or rockstar's ability. WTF is wrong with you all? I just said the images look like fake AI and too good for consoles. Yes Rockstar makes good looking games :messenger_weary::messenger_unamused:

Watching the RDR2 Gameplay Trailer again & thinking how much of this stuff has evolved and been placed into GTA VI.

Rockstars history is trying various new gameplay mechanics in their other games before refining and placing in their flagship, GTA.

Rockstar has only released 1 new game (RDR2) since GTA V but yeah Red Dead was definitely something they could use to experiment on.

looks like we ain't getting any info until 2025 it seems
Seems strange that all we’ve got is one trailer and we’re at the arse end of 2024. Not a single screenshot or anything else.

It’s meant to release next year. Likely around September-November so it’s 9-11 months away. Either it’s getting delayed into 2026 or they are going to do a much shorter marketing campaign.

V was teased October 2011. Trailer early November 2011. They went dark until July 2012 which is when we got some screenshots. Trailer 2 was a few months later and after that they started pre orders and everything else.

There were 8 months from first trailer to screenshots and they spent about a year marketing it from late 2012 to 2013.

If we get anything it’s not gonna be until January. 2025 is looking less likely every day.

I’d love if they were doing a short marketing campaign but it’s not really something Rockstar do. Usually they have about 2 years between announcement and release with roughly 1 year of trailers, screenshots, information, etc.

Hopefully I’m wrong and everything is going smoothly.

Things are very different now compared to when GTA 5 was releasing. They do not need to do long marketing campaigns anymore like in the past.

But can’t doubt that they could delay the game until 2026.
