if it doesn’t have VR mode supported that I can’t play it because I’ve transcended gaming already

once you do this in VR it’s never the same any other way

Watched without sound.
It looks… Alright, I guess. Very photo real. Not super colorful. Kind’ve looks like a modern crime drama, which gives me a bad taste and feels like it’s gonna be shitty. That one scene walking out of the convince store with the beer, though, was super trashy and I could get behind that.
A thought I had while watching: gta:vc came out in 2002. It takes place in 1986. That means THAT level of nostalgia and romanticization of the period was only looking back 16 years.
16 years before 2026 would be 2010. They easily could have done another period piece with gta6 for vice City in the 90s, 00s, or 2010s. But I guess now that I think about it, things are more fucked up and insane now than they’ve been in a long time, so why not satirize what’s going on in the world today? It’s prime juicy bullshit, kind’ve like what gta3 did in 2001. So it’s fine I guess.
Maybe they’ll have good music and really good social commentary? I think then we’re entering a new era of GTA - where instead of satirizing and sensationalizing a vibe like a movie would, it’s just going to straight up do it to real life. GTA then has a lot of opportunity to reinvent itself, basically, as The Onion - The Game, based in Miami.
Will they? Likely no. It would take balls to make a game essentially shitting all over magas. Rockstar is going to have to pull off a hattrick in their writing and tone to pull this off, despite an open and for the taking goldmine that is reality, and they don’t have the cajones anymore.
I’ll see how the release does on pc and likely play it as long as they don’t monetize it past game price, and maybe future expansions. If there are periodical passes, this might be the first mainline title of theirs I’ll skip. The shark cards in gta5online, how grindy that was, the loading times, and hedging tone and neutured jokes in the single player, has them already at a very low karma standing for me. It also better release on steam.
This game will absolutely break records, regardless. This is just me from this trailer, without sound.
StonerCowboy@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Dumbest take of all time besides when Trump speaks.
Imagine judging a a trailer with no sound and saying “it looks all right” like if it truly doesn’t look insane.
“Not super colorful” mfer you color blind??? They nailed the anesthetics of Miami. Guess you can’t see all the neon lights, and the beautiful dresses and the colors of the cars nor the weather. Yea super not colorful 🤡
And you bet your ass Rockstar is gonna lean on all these fools you think Rockstar backs down from making fun of world events? Lmao
PmMeFrogMemes@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think it’s interesting how much nostalgia there was for the 80s 20 years ago, compared to 00s nostalgia today. It feels like the cultural/aesthetic differences between the 80s and 00s are so much stronger than the 00s and today.
All that to say I kinda disagree on making GTA 6 a 2000s period piece

Shardikprime@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sex sells. For a given character, that’s basically the only reason to be there. It’s like a third of the reason why people play (second being the game is fun, first being the game is affordable)
You might not like it. You might gaslight yourself and others into believing it’s not true.
But it is
Look at Concord
Look at Marvel rivals
No one in their right mind would want to be, even less play as a 15 dollar Baymax bootleg in Play-Doh armor, or to look like an inner city gender slug who’s also Ronald Macdonald’s cousin.
Even less after shelling 40 bucks on it
rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Isn’t Marvel Rivals free? And uses very recognisable, well known and beloved characters? I agree that sex sells, I just think this particular comparison might have other factors when it comes to how active the game is lol

Am I the only one who absolutely hates GTA?
It’s bland as fuck and somehow people go and fucking play the same shitty mechanic game for hundreds of hours for 13 years, not even mentioning the fact that they buy it fucking times.
It’s not even out and I already absolutely hate this game and how everyone is hyping it to be next coming of Jesus when it’s going to be EXACTLY the same as the other ones with crappy storyline and a basic af gameplay
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
I’m sorry, but gta FIVE was bland as fuck. Gta3 was groundbreaking for the time because it was 3d, gtavc was actually incredible, but now looks like hot dogshit, and gtasa while a great game and expansion on basically everything, was the beginning of it getting bland and formulaic.
And gta5 was like… The right direction after gta4, but felt really half assed.
That being said, I love this franchise and want it to do better. I just know that they likely won’t.
So don’t hate it, just criticize it for what’s really wrong with it. As a person who’s played since gta2, it’s immensely frustrating to see it degrade. Your complaints are valid.
WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah that’s my point like… It’s an ok game, the story has always been very bland to me, very predictable and simple, I’d at least forgive that if the gameplay was always fun an exciting, but people do everything in their power to ignore it’s flaws and just say it’s perfect and overhype it like there’s nothing to improve.
Rockstar knew how to make game mechanics that made cars feel amazing to drive in Midnight club 3 and LA, and the ones in GTAV are crap, they all feel like driving on ice, they knew how to make good gunplay like Max Payne 3,and in GTAV is bland as fuck. That’s what I mean. They clearly know how to do good stuff but in the last 13 years they really haven’t innovated at ALL, and why would they? People are STILL wasting money on GTA Online 13 years later, and the same people will still buy GTA6 3-4 times in the next 10 years
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Why are you here then?
Like I see posts about Anime all the time and that isn’t my thing, so you know what I do… I just pass on by and let people enjoy what they enjoy without trying to come off as superior or enlightened.
GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
But, how else are you supposed to know that THEY’RE enlightened and superior, if they don’t loudly proclaim it at every given opportunity? Hmmmm?!
daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I liked vice city and San Andreas.
Since IV they have been striping features from the games (also IV had huge performance issues). And V is completely bland to me. I didn’t enjoy it. And I don’t expect much from VI. I expect the same shallowness as V with a different background.
If I’m wrong good from everyone. But I won’t get disappointed if it’s as boring a V.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Same. But I WILL be disappointed. I like the series too much, despite it being shit for so long. I want to play good games, and I know what Rockstar is really capable of. So if another big release by a core gaming studio comes out and it’s trash, that’ll suck.
callouscomic@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Pro tip, if your sentence ever begins with “am I the only one…” then just stop and completely reconsider the point you want to make. Just make the point. Lose the fluff.
FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You could’ve just said that it’s not your cup of tea.
WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It isn’t my cup of tea, what bothers me is the EXTREME overhype. It’s not normal.
Literally EVERY social media I have has posts of people analyzing frame by frame of a stupid trailer, like… Wtf.
I get people being excited, but it’s a trailer, it’s not the next coming of Jesus
echodot@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Then why comment?
WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Because the game isn’t even out and the people are treating it like the next coming of Jesus.
Their games are “Fine”, but for some reason people just go absolutely nuts over the same bland mindless gameplay from 13 years ago.

October 3. The one after the sun imploded.
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Maybe I’m just old, but I feel like all the people complaining about no PC port at launch, or how this trailer doesn’t show gameplay must be ‘new’ to the series (which to be fair, could mean as much as a decade).
This is how Rockstar have pretty much always done it, going all the way back to GTA3 on the PlayStation 2; PC ports have always been 6+ months after.
Trailer 1 tends to be about the setting, Trailer 2 about the primary characters, then Trailer 3/4 about the supporting characters. ‘Gameplay Trailers’ usually don’t come out around/after launch as that’s usually what’s being still being worked on by the devs.
Xatolos@reddthat.com 10 months ago
[deleted]thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I know, which is why I specifically called out from GTA3 onwards. 😜
They’ve been console first for a lot longer than not; pretty much ever since they changed their name from DMA Design to Rockstar North.
Denjin@lemmings.world 10 months ago
And?
DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
We will always complain about the lack of a PC port at launch… especially in this era.
We’re not going away
Woht24@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Wasted breath.
I’d be surprised if they did release on console and PC at the time. Literally hasn’t been done by Rockstar yet, so why would they start now?
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Feel free to complain, no one is trying to stop you. Just understand though that you are screaming into the void, and nothing will come of it bar heightened cortisol.
Grand Theft Auto is the arguably the most profitable gaming franchise ever, and it got there doing this exact release cadence. Rockstar Games & Take-Two Interactive will continue to do so for as long as it continues to maximise profits.
Does it stuck for us gamers? Absolutely, but that’s just Capitalism. Given how quickly this hobby has been enshittified over the post decade, we should probably be counting our lucky stars that it looks like Rockstar is still investing heavily into the next entry, and not just pumping out shallow annual releases like Call of Duty!

A fellow gooner 🤝 there were multiple ass shots in that trailer lmao
Psythik@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Y’all have been doing this with every GTA release since the very beginning of the series. I don’t know why everyone keeps falling for it. The PC port is coming; it always does. Most likely around Q4 2027, or Q2 2028 at the very latest.
Rockstar does this because people have very short term memories. They’re banking on your forgetfulness so that you’ll buy the console version, and then the PC version as well when they announce it a year later. The Rockstar double dip is their signature move.
dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
We wanna play on release!!! We want them big booties in our face on day one!!! Not day 365!!!
biofaust@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.
I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.
This way I could pass to Linux and don’t have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.
Danitos@reddthat.com 11 months ago
Just FYI: I’ve had a really good experience with Heroic launcher. Use for playing those Epic freebies I’ve acumula over the years, and has been pretty solid, almost Steam-like experience.
dink@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Just a warning to those interested like me:
- they don’t explicitly mentioned Rockstar Launcher compatibility (unless I missed it somewhere)
- they mention possibility of a ban when trying to use online features through their launcher.
So hypothetically, if GTA VI comes to PC, this may not be a workaround for Rockstar Launcher, and even if it is, online might be a sketchy.
treyf711@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I second this. I would use an epic account like a burner account and just get all those free giveaways. Heroic works for the Amazon prime games as well. I played a little bit of trek to Yomi the other day because I had a friend mentioned it was free on epic and I didn’t even realize I already had it.
gcheliotis@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I struggle to connect with any of those characters. I did like Niko Bellic, he was a “character”. Maybe it was his accent, his immigrant’s take on things, don’t remember, it was a while ago.
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
4s story is my favorite of the series.
The juxtaposition of the immigrant story with the satire of America that gta normally has meshed very well. Thinking of the internet Cafe mission and Brucie. Niiko as a character brought more than the flavor of gang members previous and after.
abobla@lemm.ee 11 months ago
The GTA 4 story was amazing, I missed more dramatics moments on GTA 5, the closest I felt we had for a dramatic moment was

the killing Michael ending
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Gta5v was fun to play. The story was mid. The game overall was only just okay. After online came out and we really saw the true rockstar colors, though… Mmmm yeah no.

I don’t ever pre order but Rockstar is a different beast. I will be pre ordering on the PS5 and then purchasing on PC about 6 months later. Take my moneyyyyy!
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Don’t pre-order. That’s bad for everybody.
samus12345@lemm.ee 11 months ago
You know what’s wild? The original Vice City was a period piece, taking place in 1986, 16 years before the year it was released. This Vice City will be released 13 years after the last GTA.
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh look it’s my mortality
Monster96@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I can see it now.
So, Jason and Lucia are together, right? Lucia gets out of jail and then Jason and Lucia start robbing again. Pulling a Bonnie and Clyde thing robbing across Vice City and the surrounding areas. But, as a result of their robberies, something from either of their pasts comes back to bite them. Maybe Lucia has some connections to the cartels and is the reason why she got canned. Or Jason got her out by doing making a deal with someone he shouldn’t have. Either way, kinda like what happened with Michael in the last game, they’re forced to work with the cartels and corrupt cops. And, eventually, it gets to the point that they’ve become so infamous that either the cops are cartels have it out for them. But, they offer them a deal. To either Jason or Lucia. You wanna live? Kill the other. If you don’t, you’re both dead. That’s gives us multiple endings like GTA V. Either Lucia dies, Jason, or both.
If it’s anything like Bonnie and Clyde, the ending is not going to be fun.
DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Oh I’m definitely keeping Lucia alive
simple@lemm.ee 11 months ago
But it turns out they fake their deaths and the camera pans to a small town in mexico: “15 years later…” where you play as their child and discover they’re both alive and well, but bored with their lives. They reminisce on the good old days of adventure before reading the mail and discovering a potential bank to rob. “One last heist, eh?” one says to the other before both of them smile and the screen cuts to black.
Hire fans, or something

I’ve never regretted a GTA purchase (admittedly I didn’t get the remasters so that might be why…) so I’m cautiously looking forward to this one. Started up 5 again recently with the Enhanced version dropping on PC and man its still stupid fun.
Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Just cutscenes, no gameplay, as always with these trailers. Cutscenes look nice but that doesn’t mean shit.
Why can’t they show at least a glimpse of gameplay.
echodot@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Because the game isn’t out for another year and it’s unreasonable to expect them to show current gameplay because it won’t be at all representative for the final result.
samus12345@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It’s still a year away.
abobla@lemm.ee 11 months ago
maybe they’ll release the gameplay later, it looks similar to how GTA 5 trailers were released, the gameplay came after the second trailer.
n1ck_n4m3@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Can’t wait to pick this up for $30 on PC 3 years after it’s released. Fuck $80 games and fuck double-dip releases that don’t release same-day on PC.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
There’s literally no reason in this day and age to not release on pc on day 1. Xb and ps market share is absolutely losing ground to pc at record time, there’s no reason anymore.
If they don’t pc release day 1, then I guess gta6 actually just comes out 2027.
Denjin@lemmings.world 10 months ago
I mean there is a reason, and that reason is they can get people to buy it twice.
It’s a shitty reason for consumers but a viable one for publishers nonetheless.

Apparently there is a lot more info about the game on the official site: www.rockstargames.com/VI
It’s not loading at the moment but it contains some screenshots, character info, and confirms certain locations that will appear.
The trailer looked gorgeous, possibly the most photorealistic game we’ve seen yet. I know it was probably recorded on a PS5 Pro, but the fact that it looks this good on console is wild. Still lame that it won’t release on PC at release.

GolfNovemberUniform@infosec.pub 10 months ago
Ok so we got a regular GTA story with humour, 2 main characters in relationship (maybe another playable one?) and hopefully a detailed open world to do side activities in. Looks good enough for me. Just make it at least as good as RDR2 and you have my money.
