No, but it was in a terrible state at launch. Zelnick was interviewed a few months later, and when asked about it, he said something like "there was a glitch at launch that has been fixed now" - even though at the time of the interview a lot of problems were still present.

I never bought it, even on sale, sounds like it was a failed attempt at doing a remaster with a shoddy grasp of emerging (at the time) AI tools.

I will get it eventually, as it's the only way to play the games on console.

Rockstar is a strange company, they definitely make enough money to be able to practically ignore their audience at this point, too big to fail, and they kind of act the part, which is sad, they have a great legacy, but that's unimportant if you're chasing billions.

If they weren't guaranteed outrageous success each time, you'd have Red Dead 2 updated for next gen consoles etc by now, but there's literally no incentive for them to do anything but push new titles and GTA online.

They're absolutely one of the most blessed companies on earth, GTA 6 can objectively be a 5/10 and it will still break global entertainment sales records, I mean their trailers clock like 100m+ views, these people aren't even in the same industry as the rest, Rockstar is the main character in this hobby.

$100 it is then.

Bearing in mind multiple SKUs is the norm now anyway, this is an absolute certainty.

But there will also be an $80 base SKU with a bit of content stripped out as purchasable DLC.

 

[Randall365]

As above - they'll go down the Ubisoft of charging $100 for the actual game but offer a standard version with significant bits missing for $70. Certain people in the media will say what 'great value' the deluxe version is.

 

[Portugeezer]

How many Mario Kart World's worth of value can they bring?

 

[digimaster7]

Boys, sorry but I don't think I can hold myself for GTAVI… there's a good chance I'll open my wallet no matter the price

GTA is probably the only franchise on earth where I'll always buy it day one no questions ask, its my most favorite franchise ever, been playing it since I was like 10 yo

 

[zaga]

It will be $100 but maybe with some BS that makes it seem like it is not really $100

Like $20 of GTA Online credits

We are but weak men, bro, nothing to be ashamed of, us guys love to pay for sexy stuff we like, and obviously gta6 is pretty stuff we gonna like a lot

 

[Ramiro_Rodriguez]

This game probably has content that'll last well over a year if you count GTAO as well. The only problem I see is once the floodgates are open, Ubisoft will start charging 100$ for their crap as well.

But not for gamers who are only interested in the story.
We will get maybe a 30-40h campaign and that is fine. Give us another 40h of content and we're satisfied.
Bring a story dlc or two and we will buy it. So like we did back then, with GTA IV.

And Ubi can charge whatever they want. But when they can't sell games for 50-70 $, why charging 100 $?
To blame again a franchise (star wars) instead to face the true, that their games sucked?

 

[Woggleman]

It will most likely be 70.00 dollars. The last thing they want is backlash from gamers for charging too much and they will sell so much that they can afford to not charge 100.00.

They've spent so much developing it though. Easily being the best selling game of the year isn't enough.

 

[E-Cat]

It's certainly more value than Mario Kart World

 

[DavidGzz]

New screen? Looks crazy good.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Not including DLC's

It's not, which is why you need to be mentally and spiritually prepared for a world where you see a yearly, full-bore AAA GTA $199,99 release as Rockstar leverages emergent AI technology.

Next GTA will be prompted, legally locked down, and that money printing pipeline will keep going until consumer money dries up completely or the sun collapses in on itself.

Instead of paying thousands of people billions, you only pay a single good AI company a cheaper fee per output. They own the GTA IP, they are locked in to succeed indefinitely.

Debatable

I mean, I love RDR2 as fuck, but it's easy to see what was made with effort and what wasn't

GTA V is more invested by them, but since the community was always way bigger, there's no discussion for that
