GTA6 will release in 2025

So 12 years after the release of GTA5? Jesus Christ. That sounds more to me like they are just in the starting stage of development, so better question is what were they doing for the past....at least 3 years lets say.
 
Even though I loved RDR2 I hate what happened to Rockstar. In the PS2 and PS3 era they just want from strength to strength and now they just rehash the same thing over and over again. They can at least give some SP DLC for GTA V and RDR2 but they want to keep milking online. It probably is a reason why Houser and Benz left.

Yes, and the trio probably discuss GTA (in some way or form) and what directions the series should take when they talk to each other. It's understandable to wanting to leave and do something else, but it's hard to imagine they would be completely uninterested (and never talk to Sam Houser about it) in something that defined their careers.

There is a real problem with time between releases nowadays. Development time is simply becoming too long. It's easy to see the growing frustration within the gaming community in this regard. It's deflating and given enough time interest is lost and people move on.
 
They released RDR 2 then started GTA 6 or some other title that they might have scrapped (Bully).

Meanwhile they are trying to support GTA Online and RDR Online. (even though it's mostly lazy cash grabs)
 
Man I can't wait to play the PS6 and XBox Series Z version of GTA 5 before this comes out.

At the dumpster fire resetera this is the exact year I predicted it would come out. Told ppl there is no way it would come out in 22 / 23. Some dude said he screenshot my message, its all good though.

Also said i wouldn't be surprised if it came out even later.

AAA game dev can take a very long time now. And when you are Rockstar, making a GTA game you can take absolutely as long as you want. One of the very few devs that can take as long as they want. They don't have any targets to hit, they are still making crazy bank on GTA Online.

They have also been working on GTA 5 next gen version, so that will delays GTA 6 further than it would have. With delays could see this coming out even beyond 2025.

If the game's still early in development then what have R*'s thousands of employees been doing since the release of RDR2 besides GTA Online?

You assume that they worked on rdr2 and nothing else.
I would be surprised if studio like this is not doing at least 3 full projects at the same time

Its a major problem, i dont want to sound like a jaded gamer or something. But gaming is the wackest its ever been in history. Yep i said it.

Factory made games anually, and 10 years to wait for good ones.

I think alot of people just want to hold onto gaming and dont know what else to do. But elden ring shouldnt be type of game that is mega hype imo, not with the way it looks, that was like...what half life 2 level experiences would promote. Back then from games would be those cool little side games lol

I barely play these days

thats ridiculous

and i have a feeling its some sort of weird trickery to mess with our expectations

i was expecting early 2023 at the very latest and optimistically mid 2022 at the earliest

Holiday 2023 I was expecting with a possible delay to 2024. Never expected 2025.

Positives are next gen only and probably be a ps5 pro by then to run it even better. I just hope this GTA V online remaster is really good and I hope the content updates are good going forward to keep us busy.

I also think it would be insane if they don't do a gta 4 remaster in the next 2 years.
 
I have a time machine this is how it will play out.

It's the year 2025 GTA6 will release to huge commercial and critical success. The graphics and productions values will be out of this world. It will be the biggest most detailed open world ever. I will no doubt buy it day one because I am a sucker for cutting edge graphics and production values.

I will then start to get pissed off because the game will still have the same god awful 3rd person controls and even worse linear rail road mission design that was out of date in 2009. A small subset of other hardcore gamers will no doubt feel the same way however nobody in the mainstream press will point this out and the game will have a 97 metacritic score as a result.

I will then get irrationally angry at this as other games seem to get dragged over the coals for far less. I will get especially angry because despite all the extra bell and whistles gta6 will be the exact same game as gta5 and not get called out by the gaming press but they will no doubt destroy a less hyped game for the exact same reason.I will whine and bitch about it on neogaf but pissing in the wind does not even begin to describe the futility. More like pissing into a hurricane that's uprooted trees.

The vast majority of gamers will not care ( which I still dont understand because of call of duty and fortnite crazy success with much better controls and core mechanics) as they will be having fun causing havoc in the open world and or multiplayer. It will be within the top 5 selling games of all time

Mark my words fellow gaffers this is how it will be!😉

Does anyone care? They killed their own franchise. GTA V is eight years old. It's like fortnite now

Fortnite is 4 years old. It's also a battle royale game. In what way is GTA V like Fortnite, besides a ton of fucking people play and spend money on it?

Not sure how the franchise is dead but alright.

Lol wait...so were gonna forget skyrim was mediocre, fallout 4 was mediocre, and new vegas was abysmal.

And even if you dont think skyrim was mediocre. It certainly was mediocre in compariosn to the witcher 3 a game bethesda could never make...

Hell the witcher 2 was more complete than skyrim..

I thought once the witcher 3 came out and won game of the generation, we already knew they beat bethesda...

Unless your memory is so simple and short, that you are prioritizing jumping the bandwagon of recent cdpr hate over theor pedigree....

And even then cyberpunk is better than fallout 4 or fallout 3 . It kind of shits on those games...

Am I in bizarro world now? Suddenly cdpr didnt make one of the greates rpgs of all time? Am i talking to 15 year olds who like simple shit?

Glad someone agrees on that. I never understood the appeal of Skyrim. I played it on PS4, yes its massive but if you ask me what I rememeber from my 60+ hr playthrough, I remember some mission where i had to chose between vikings or romans who I support and the dragon fight on top of a mountain. The rest I literally have no clue as everything is at best B- tier. Its just there, no dungeon made me go "oh wow im so glad i discovered this" . Very, very bland game. I dont remember a single NPC that was on my side as a character and I played this less than 2 years ago.
 
It's embarassing for a company to be unable to cash what they are more or less free billion $ just because their productivity is so shit they need at least 5 years and 3000 people to release a game.

GTA Online is really saving their asses.

GTA V was released in fuckin' 2013.

The best selling AAA game of all times has to wait 12 years to have a sequel.

So 12 years to make a sequel to GTA V?

I thought they would be using some of that GTA online profit all these years to make a super genre defining game…. Looks like they havent even started

Or next-gen development is way more time consuming because of the increase in fidelity, combined with the fact that GTA games are by far the biggest games ever made next to MMOs.
 
12 years for a sequel for the best selling game ever is pure insanity tbh that's like milking GTA 5 for 4 more years ,I can bet my asshole when the ps5 series x version of it releases in fall it will be number selling game for quite a few months again

Depends when they started or if they have even started yet?

Regardless if they started in 2015/2016 and spent all these years they would have a deeper game when they want to release

The scope and scale of the next GTA games has nothing to do with when they've started development. If GTA V at PS3-level fidelity took 5-6 years to make, then 10-12 years for a GTA VI at PS5-level fidelity seems logical.

If there's any truth to this rumour of a 2025 target release date, you can be almost 100% confident they're well into pre-production and prototyping at the very least.

To think they haven't started development at all is pretty silly, imho. What else can this multi-studio developer have been working on since shipping RDR2?

Lets hope they have been working on it for awhile and they are using those 10-12 years to make something special
 
All of Rockstar was working on RDR2, Rockstar said this themselves. So if it comes out in 2025 it won't be 10 years. Would be more like 7 years, or more like 6, if you consider their support of GTA Online and GTA 5 Next Gen

Its not coming out before 2025. Dont know why people keep trying to compare this situation to a typical studio. Rockstar have been supporting GTA Online, and they are making an absolute killing. GTA 5 next gen will make a killing.

Now more than ever, Rockstar basically has no pressure at all. Something like a huge sprawling AAA title, when you can take your time making it, well it can take a very very long time. We've seen huge AAA titles in dev for a long time and even then they aren't ready when released.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if it releases 2026 or 27.

That's a ways away, but it could be a good thing as well. It could mean that it'll be built on a whole new "next-gen" only engine. By 2025 the PS5/Series consoles should have reached PS4/ONE numbers. Still tho... that's a fucking wait!

Actually it makes a lot of sense....the major players at rockstar are gone, they're going rape the shit out of every past 'good' game for a remake before they actually try to get creative again.

You do realize GTA 5 was released on PS3 and THEY'RE STILL making new shit for it for PS5.

I think the only legit plan at Rockstar is they have no plan and will continue to soak up the online MTX money until people wake up
