Leaving up.
Lucia is awesome! I look forward to playing it (in 2 years)
Yeah when they release it for the ps6
I think it’ll be a great game, but disappointed they don’t want to release for me. I was so hyped I was going to buy a PlayStation, until PlayStation started their latest BS with discs. Now I’m forced to wait to give them money
GTA5 lost me in the campaign, and I can’t imagine GTA6 will be any better in that regard. Never bothered with the online features. I’m not even disappointed they aren’t doing a PC release and doubt I’ll buy it even if they do.
I mean, just the idea that a purchase of the game amounts to tacit support of their union busting bullshit is reason enough not to buy it. Their games sell the gangster fantasy, but GTA6 as a product is basically the antithesis of rebellion.
Oh I really liked GTA 5s campaign, I replay every couple of years
Oh same, the campaign just became boring after a while. The online mode was funny for an evening. I will definitely buy GTA6 when it’s on PC for <10€ though. That’s a fair price for a few evenings of fun
Well, looks like GTA.
It’s funny that so many people are disappointed that a GTA game looks like a GTA game. The absurd hype is going to come back to bite R* in the ass

Going to break records. Don’t think Rockstar is going to have any problems here.
I get some of the very well deserved hate for Rockstar but come on, it’s one of the best looking games this year, and the fact it looks like that on, an apparently baseline, PS5 is nuts.
In a few years when they port it to PC and we we can throw it at a high end graphics card, it’s going to look like real life. And it’s clear that there is more then just graphics here.
Mind you, I have no idea how they are going to handle the online mode as GTAO was terrible. I hope they do better with that.
This wasn’t meant as either criticism or high praise. It looks like a GTA game is supposed to. I mean gameplay-wise. This is good for people who like GTA and anyone else won’t care. The game will probably be fun and have tons of stuff and minigames to play.
Well it would be difficult for it to look like any other game it’s not like they’re going to add puzzle elements. But it does seem to be a bit more realistic, it looks like you won’t be able to just shoot the cops and then go hide underground in the train network, so that’s a fairly major departure from traditional gameplay.
Sure does look a hell of a lot like GTA
Wait…so two unknown people just walk up and say they’re picking something up for a guy, and the dudes out front just let them in? That was so ridiculous I couldn’t keep watching
Now introducing our main character: Generic White Guy! I also didn’t see one joke or parody… The thing that’s expected of GTA… It used to be social commentary. This just looks like a cop show about drugs.
I skipped through it but there was a very obvious die hard inspired mission towards the end. I think that counts as a parody although it lacked humor in my opinion.
Did you miss the drug and fast food commercials?
Yes, the drug one cut off early… The fast food one felt like society has already passed that level of marketing. Like, if it was on TV today I would jusr accept it as a marketing campaign.
People IRL know where meat comes from. It wasn’t like “hunt your own burger” - or “Now with the special cannibal beef”… It was Poe’s law, nothing signalling extreme parody.
…they just felt like, ads. More like a simulation of what some executive thought was in GTA5, rather than someone moving with it.
Oh my. If you didn’t sense the parody in those ads, I fear that satire is lost on you.
That’s kind of the point of Poe’s law…
It was a weak sense of parody. Like what are they parodying? That drug and fast food ads exist? We live in an age of Trumpism… People wearing gold diapers… You think I’m flinch at ads for drugs or meat?
There’s no play or even pushing of limits there. There was no spice to it.
This video demo was 25 minutes out of a game that’s going to be more than 30 hours, most likely. It seems strange to expect to be able to evaluate its satire off of such a small sample.
They parodied how strange our drug ad laws are and how much of a crutch we use drugs as. Then the fast food commercial started by showing a wide ecosystem of animals that were seemingly all killed for one sandwich, because no one can fit a sandwich that big in their mouth; then it labeled it as 30,000 calories, which is about 10-15x what most people will or should eat in a day. Jokes are rarely funnier when someone explains them to you, but you asked what the parody was.
Maybe the game itself is the parody. Like when Jeremy Strong’s character in Succession thinks he’s gangster because he listens to rap music and does drugs sometimes. But he’s still just an insecure, corporate manchild.
Isn’t that the premise of every cop/drug movie ever?
I kind of expected a game where you shifted between comedic versions of the current cast of social characters there are in American society today.
Parodying all sides of poverty/wealth, woke and Nazis, Q-pilled Grandmas with guns, Tech Billionaires and fascists, gen-Z and gen Alpha and aging millennials… Hit us all up and make fun of it all.
I’m betting there’s no ICE deportations, flock cameras, or AI bros in the script.
Rockstar used to be a British company parodying American extremism… But they moved the whole company to LA. Now they’re an American company, contributing to America’s corporate culture and politics. That’s probably why this feels undercooked.
That’s, like, the least ridiculous thing that happens in a GTA game in general.
At the main entrance to the building been just some thugs, dropping a name and a short vibe check seems totally reasonable to me. The security guy for the business was at the elevator and to me it looked like he was texting with someone to confirm.
I would probably buy it (when it’s on sale at a reasonable price!) if it wasn’t for the poor treatment of their employees and alleged attempts at union busting.
I wouldn’t even say alleged, it was very blatant. An employment tribunal has already ruled against them and the case goes to full trial next month.
Yeah, I only said ‘alleged’ because I haven’t been following it that closely and am not familiar with the latest details. Last time I saw anything about it Rockstar looked guilty as hell.
Shitty overblown budget of a “game”.
I’m not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.
Note that they didn’t say they wouldn’t be playing it
🏴☠️
Ultrabased
It’s mostly take two. Not rockstar. yes rockstar have sacked lotsa people but the people who made the decisions are basically peons of take two. All the credit goes to take two imo.
It’s Rockstar if they really care they could put their foot down, they have the cred to get whatever they want.
This just looks like an expansion pack for gta5 imo. I dont really understand why this is being hailed as a massive cultural event.
They literally crashed Netflix, it’s gonna make a trillion dollars
Because about 150 million people are going to play it in the next couple of years, which we can’t say about any other video game that we know of.
This just looks like an expansion pack for gta5 imo
I don’t even plan on buying this, but I think this is a wild take.
It’s essentially the difference between gta 3 and SA but instead of it taking 3 years it took them 13 years… so the take is absolutely not wild
Yeah except one skyscraper in GTA 6 probably has as many polygons as the entirety of GTA 3.
I wonder how many hardworking people they’re going to plunge into uncertainty by ruthlessly laying them off.
At least the line will go up
You just know it’s coming.
“Coming?” Did we already forget those unionized employees being the first heads on the chopping block?
I’ll buy it on steam for like $10 bucks… if there is a decent single player campaign, otherwise I’ll pass
It’s only a single player game. (Currently)
Isn’t it co op? That’s why they have two MCs.
No. The two MCs are who a single player can swap between. It’s a single player gameplay mechanic. There is no co-op or multiplayer in the current release and the two protagonist stories will always be single player.
GTA 5 had three protagonists you could swap between for the single player, so this is refining that dynamic.
They’ll likely release an online product sometime next year.
Ah I see, thanks.
It looks incredible. I seriously wonder if we’ll ever see another game ever attempt this scale, this could be rockstar’s magnum opus.
Point to the spicy yet endearing character… Because I didn’t see any. Saw some stiff cop-like stand-ins though.
Where was the social commentary? The jokes/parody about society? The fun stuff that made GTA5 a media storm.
If I’m getting critical I agree - the story seemed somewhat mild/cliche. The dialog was lacking any sort of interesting banter, it was mostly fluctuating between business and panic. I’m not really loving Jason’s VA, but I didn’t dig Niko’s VA either at first.
However the sandbox that I’m seeing in action (ie, the police chase, hallway gun fight) is frankly incredibly and ridiculously detailed to a point of absurdity. It’s a generational leap forward in open world richness, of that respect.
I’m hopeful it doesn’t take always take itself so seriously. There was some commentary shown in the first trailer too, though.
Yeah, and there’s some swamp area stuff in this clip - but I don’t think that’s a very wide net of parody.
I think you’re right. It will be A+ gameplay and detail. Switching between feelings of tension, panic, and business. And no doubt there’s cops to escape.
Watch Dogs had some of that. It didn’t sell it though. GTA5 exploded in popularity because the media were baited into talking about it, GTA6 feels like a mature game in a genre defined by GTA5. That fine, enough for most people. Cops and Robbers is a fun enough genre for most people.
Already in the works and already bigger than GTAVI. It is called Star Citizen
Lucia is a dream for horny modders. I can already see the plethora of nude mods and mods to give her comically huge boobs and ass.
Guess Panam in Cyberpunk wasn’t enough.
I’ve literally only just got a pc capable of playing cyberpunk so thank you for the mod list. - I won’t dare, I never live down the mocking from my girlfriend.
I wonder if that’s why Rockstar haven’t put in female playable characters from now. I don’t think there was any in Ballad Of Gay Tony, I know there wasn’t in IV main game.
TBoGT was Luis, who was pretty much what VI’s male protag (Jason?) should’ve been. He actually had a personality other than just being the big badass guy.
I suspect the reason they haven’t had female protagonists before is just pure male defaultism rampant in the gaming industry. Gamers would’ve made a ton of noise in the past. Otherwise, a game with Catalina as the protagonist could’ve been really interesting.
This looks like a fun time. I look forward to having the hardware to run it, in 10 years. Maybe in 20, when I retire.
Cute thinking you’ll get to retire in 20 years when you sink all your savings on hardware.
Yes as soon as I posted that I realised how silly it was
Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don’t connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it’s a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.
Graphically… it looks great. If what we’re seeing isn’t just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.
The dudes voice I don’t like. Apparently I’m not the only person judging by some of the comments I’ve read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they’re somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn’t match what we’re seeing as the Model.
Eh. Anyways whatever. I’m old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I’m not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That’s just me though.
It says captured on ps5 at the very end
And why would they lie?
Well it’s releasing on the PS5 so it would be pretty dumb if it doesn’t actually work on the PS5. Anyway what the mostly showed was cut scenes and they are easy to optimize because anything that’s literally not on screen can just be unloaded.
I remember when the very first teaser came out for this and people were going wild. I asked in a streamers chat (first mistake) if there was any actual in-game gameplay footage or it was just a CGI/cutscene and the streamer chewed me out lol. “Let people be excited about things!”
