    It looks like a modded GTAV.

    Granted, its still well over a year out.

    But Meh.

    Especially since Rockstar will probably hyper focus on online multi and milking the whales, and give a shitty single player experience again.

      I think they are totally planning on adding the new map to GTA Online. Just like in Vice City you visited the original GTA 3 map.

      “Sequel to game looks like improved version of game”.

      Not sure what point you’re trying to make here?

        I think the point is - it’s disappointing to see GTA 5 2.0. I expected something more, something different, less generic, not just another coastal city or a GTA 5 clone. It seems like they just merged the engine update with GTA 5. Watching the trailer bored me, like being forced to watch a mediocre action comedy movie. I don’t know how the majority of the game will feel, but this trailer is just so generic. If this were a movie, no one would care. Maybe that’s the point, but still, my hype is somewhat gone. I at least expected a different scenario than this GTA 5 DLC story or at least set it somewhere other than a coastal city.

      Gta5 had a shitty single player experience? Did we play the same game? Wtf?or rdr2, another Rockstar game?

      Shit on Rockstar all you want, but their game have entertaining stories…

        They did leave a lot of stuff for online only, never even updating things in singleplayer.

          I’d argue I got my 60usd worth of content out of the single player. I can understand they focused on MP for further content.

            Considering the going rate for games anymore seems to be 10 hours of game play for 60 dollars, I can believe you on that comment at least.

              You finished the gta 5 campaign in 10h? You just speedran it once?

              If not, nice hyperbole…

              (rdr2 campaign was also more than 10h, to name a recentish Rockstar game) . Many other big AAA titles aside from cod also have campaigns that last longer than 10h.

      It’s Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde were crappy criminals but they were quite famous for their media presence. I think this one will have the protagonists be social media star criminals, and it will come back and bite them. Also, one dies, iirc.

          "Rockstar’s next game, Grand Theft Auto VI, will include a playable female protagonist,” Bloomberg adds, citing sources familiar with the game.

          “The woman, who is Latina, will be one of a pair of leading characters in a story influenced by the bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde, the people said.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_VI?wprov=sfla1

          Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) and Clyde Chestnut (Champion) Barrow (March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934) were American criminals who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression. The couple was known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the “public enemy era” between 1931 and 1934. They were ambushed by police and shot to death in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_Clyde?wprov=sfla1

          Now watch the trailer again after looking at this: https://www.ign.com/wikis/gta-6/Social_Media_in_GTA_6

          A Bonnie and Clyde social media fueled rolling catastrophy in a place that is very much also a rolling catastrophy (FL), seems pretty on par for GTA. They often mimic classics, GTAV had some underpinnings in the Three Musketeers (think: all for one, one for all ending).

          https://epicrapbattlesofhistory.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Fametown/Trevor,_Michael,_%26_Franklin_vs_The_Three_Musketeers

          The consequences of media buzz IS the story of Bonnie and Clyde. It’s unlikely they would have been chased by police like they were without the newspapers. They were petty criminals.

      Rockstar has done nothing but actual in-game footage for trailers since like GTA3. So, yeah, that shit is fucking insane. Doesn’t even look like a PS5 could run it.

        As comments on GAF have been pointing out, 2025 will be after the PS5 Pro.

        What I can’t figure is how this will run on the Series S.

              So did BG3 at the start and we all know how that went. Microsoft had to reneg on multiple policies just so they could have the game on their consoles.

                I believe only the local Co-op was removed though? And the optimizations made for XSS were beneficial to all other platforms as well as they stated, and the game runs now much better on PC and PS5

                  The optimizations would have been done eventually anyways and Xbox had policies that they had to bend just to have the game on their systems.

                  People can say the game is coming, but that doesn’t mean it’s happening, it’s already been an issue and will be a continuing issue going forward. The console just isn’t that powerful.

                  If the game does release, it won’t be the same game as the X, not a chance.

          They must have magicians working for them or something. I guess that’s the advantage of using a completely tailor made engine created with unlimited funding, rather than using Unreal or something.

      I am guessing they’ll wait until after new consoles are released. Let people buy ps5/xXxboxXxSeriesNexXxt remastered. Then let people buy the pc version. Get 3 copies sold to each of most hardcore gamers.

      Wonder how much effort they will put into preventing mods this time. I know they bought 5M so it seem they will want to shut all the unauthorized mod communities down.

        I wonder how much that will be true this time around. This is the first console Gen where I have no plans to get a console, so they can’t even entice me to double dip due to lack of a console. And if I haven’t got a console by 2024 I won’t be getting one just for one game. Exclusives don’t have the same draw anymore, since they’ve started getting ported.

          Only console I’ve held onto was the Wii. Unless a Wii release is coming, I’m doomed to wait for a PC release.

            One silver lining I see in delayed release is that I have less of an incentive to upgrade my GPU until then, and new GPU might be out that should hopefully handle it maxed out when I do get into it.

    Looks great. I knew after the RDR2 crocs we were going to be getting much better wildlife, which is very exciting.

    Graphics look awesome, promising Bonnie and Clyde story.

    Seem to have expanded out their in game social media and Internet designs.

    Figured it would be 2025 as historically the first trailer always comes out around a year and a half before the game is slated to.

      If this isn’t coming out until 2025, I worry about how dated the graphics already look. It’s like they took the same old models/rigs and just brought them into higher definition? Idk, but something looks off about them to me. It definitely doesn’t help the $70-80 price tags that companies are trying to justify when graphics look mostly the same as they ever have.

      I think we might have hit peak realism with graphics and need to lean harder into art direction.

      Meh. I’m going to disagree. I feel the graphics were underwhelming given the time they took. The scenery was beautiful but the characters and NPCs need some major work.

      Elden Ring was better. Cyberpunk is better. Fortnite is better.

      They are making us wait 2 more years and I don’t even care because it’s been that long and they have fallen behind.

      Really? I thought the lighting and environments looked good, but the models definitely need some work. They look like clay mannequins in an HD world to me, and I feel like that’s only gonna get more exacerbated since this doesn’t come out for another 2 years.
