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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.
Psythik@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Unless you have no plans to play Online, the money you’ll spend on Shark Cards trying to catch up with established players will far exceed $80. That’s why I stopped playing GTA V Online—I got tired of grinding for cash, just to keep up with the people who dedicate their lives to one game (I refuse to spend money on microtransactions in any game).

The first thing i noticed is the awful amount of TAA/Upscaling artefacting. Apart from that it looks good i guess. I mean its GTA. It will probably be an enjoyable game. But still: Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Take2.
BombOmOm@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
As long as they let you turn off the upscaling I won’t complain about it. Unfortunately there has been a trend as of late to force it on; the artifacting drives me nuts. It’s always harder to to see in youtube videos though, since they are compressed quite a bit compared to live play.
Biggest thing that concerns me was their focus on pushing one into multiplayer in V. I’m worried that is going to intensify since it made them so damn much money doing that last time.
Either way, game isn’t out for a year, and it isn’t out for PC for probably two years. So, just going to go back to enjoying my Breath of Fire IV playthrough I’m currently doing. :)

ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Why?
jonesy@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You mean aside from abandoning RDR Online, cancelling GTA V singleplayer DLC in favour of GTA Online shark cards, intentionally delaying the PC release of GTA V to maximise the number of people who would buy the game more than once because of FOMO, absolute dog shit support and punishing their community by crushing the modding community? I’m not sure.
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
God I hope they don’t use temporal anti aliasing. Like trails in vc all over again.
Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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.
samus12345@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
It’s still a year away.
abobla@lemm.ee 3 weeks 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.
echodot@feddit.uk 3 weeks 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.
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks 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.
DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
We will always complain about the lack of a PC port at launch… especially in this era.
We’re not going away
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks 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!
Woht24@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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?
Xatolos@reddthat.com 3 weeks ago
Rockstar was a PC gaming company before they went into consoles. GTA 1 and 2 were made for PC before being ported to console.
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago
And?
samus12345@lemm.ee 3 weeks 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.

biofaust@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.
BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I love how it starts with Jason saying “Just fixing a few leaks”. I see what you did there.
kepix@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
everyone is mad about the lack of pc port. im just glad her ass is great.
Psythik@lemm.ee 3 weeks 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.

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 3 weeks 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.

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

SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks 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.
Monster96@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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.
simple@lemm.ee 3 weeks 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.

iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
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.
simple@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
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.
paraphrand@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s definitely the most photorealistic game of this scale. IMO. It’s looking to be quite the feat, and worth the development time/wait.
WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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 3 weeks ago
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.

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.

ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t think a lot of people are going to double dip this time. This game will sell consoles, but it’s not going to make up for the deficit the console market has compared to how many PS3s and Xbox 360s were out there in 2013.
circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
I really hope this is true. The only thing that will stop Rockstar from the delayed PC release nonsense in the future is actually stopping the double dip.
I ended up with a PS4 just for Red Dead 2. But I still haven’t bought it on PC and have no plans to do so.
The thing is, the PS4 kind of made sense because I also wanted a Blu-Ray player. I still have it for that, so a PS5 would be an impossible sell to me. It’s like Rockstar tries to sell consoles but this time around is one of the worst ever console eras.
Khrux@ttrpg.network 3 weeks ago
Back in 2013, I bought an old PS3 + GTA5 for £150 or so just to play the game, then once I had it, picked up two more exclusives, before never touching it again pretty quickly.
Getting a console for GTA6, plus the game, this time may set me back more than my expendable income after rent and bills. It will absolutely sell consoles but I’d wager people are actually able to buy a console much less than in 2013.
CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t even have a console unless they plan on releasing it on Switch 2… so yeah, it’s gonna be a longer wait and I’m okay with that.
