At this rate, the PS6 will be out by the time this game is ready.
All I care about is when I can download the cracked PC version.

Had my money on a 2027 release for the PC after the first trailer dropped in late 2023. Looks like i wasnt pessimistic enough even though i accounted for a console exclusive year and a rather big delay. Maybe by 2028 the AI bubble will have popped and GPUs are affordable again.
edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Even if the AI bubble bursts by then, chuds will probably come up with some new bullshit to keep the market inflated, just like scalpers, crypto miners, and NFT weirdos before them.

The first time it was announced for Holiday season 2025, right?
Anyway: For AAA releases I always assume [Announced release year + 1 year]
It always get’s postponed for one year. So far every occurence has been confirming my hypothesis.

I remember when GTA 5 came out, everybody was excited. San Andreas had been HUGE. Both in map size, and in game sales.
I bought it day 1. Then the PS4 came out, and GTA5 for PS4. By this point we all knew what GTA5 was.
My friend wanted so badly for me to buy a PS4, just to buy GTA 5 again, just so he’d have someone to play with.
Then PS5 came out. Same story.
I actually bought a PS4 at some point. Regret it. Barely ever played it.
Then I bought a PS5. Regret it. Barely ever play it.
And now that I know how microtransaction laiden GTA is, I’ll be skipping GTA6 entirely.
Now I see them firing a bunch of people. A few days later I see GTA6 is delayed until this time next year.
Why would anyone be excited for a series that now peaked 21 years ago, and has only had 1 other release in that time?

I understand why youre not interested and I also don’t care for it, but it’s disingenuous to say it isn’t one of the most hyped games of all time. The first trailer has 268 million views on youtube and that’s only on the official channel. People are excited.

Did you forget about GTA 4?
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’d take GTA 4 or 5 over San Andreas, easily. And at this point, a large part of the appeal is GTA Online for a ton of folks; not me, but a ton of folks.

4 was a masterpiece. The story is supurb.

I still play GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories.. I never looks back or forward from that moment.
WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 2 days ago
Remember you are still supporting them by pirating it and talking about it. Boycott for real.
Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Yeah, I’d imagine the remaining staff retaliating because they did some union busting and fired a bunch of people will do that.
Keep in mind GTA V alone literally made them BILLIONS.

Is anyone (on Lemmy that is) actually gonna play this game? It’s for sure goanna be like free to play micro transaction hell
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The campaign, yes.
olafurp@lemmy.world 1 day ago
When it goes on sale 5 years later probably
Hagdos@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I had a ton of fun with the GTA V single player campaign, years ago.
I’ll wait for the reviews, and probably for the price to drop, but if it’s not all multiplayer micro transaction hell I’ll absolutely play the biggest game of the decade.
I_Jedi@lemmy.today 1 day ago
If I do, I will probably play it for around two weeks. That’s when I expect anti-cheat to get me.
echodot@feddit.uk 1 day ago
As with most games I’m just not going to get it day one and wait for the reviews. It’s not like they’re going to run out of stock so there’s no harm in delaying things.
I want to see what they do with th RP side of things, as a rumours of a proper RP mode which would make online play actually bearable. But since it’s just rumours with no evidence I’m going to wait.

How are other publishers supposed to avoid the release date if it keeps changing?
SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s actually close to around the time Activision releases Call of Duty games, and that year’s CoD will be MW4. I HOPE all the Infinity Ward higher ups are having heart attacks right now, after what they did to the CoD matchmaking they deserve every game of theirs to flop.
tpyo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I have a family member who worked for IW on CoD but left shortly after the merger when they saw the writing on the wall. Granted they left for a company just as bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Well, it keeps getting pushed back, not forward, so that helps.
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
It really doesn’t. Because now that is lost revenue for a month/quarter for no reason at all.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 days ago
They have 2 years left before GTA6 becomes DNF 2.0.
darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Where does Elder Scrolls 6 fit in there? I have a feeling it’s going to go even longer in development than GTA.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 days ago
Elder Scrolls 6 has been in development 1 year less than GTA6.

DNF 2.0?
Hubi@feddit.org 2 days ago
Duke Nukem Forever. The game used to be a meme due to the insanely long development.

We got a third GTA delay before GTA6 😭
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Eh, fuck it. I have no need for more “douche and a turd sandwich” “both sides suck” humor in the 2020s and I have zero desire to give rockstar any money after their blatant union busting.
circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Well that’s a great sign.
melroy@kbin.melroy.org 2 days ago
Lol. there will be aliens on earth for sure before GTA 6 will be released
tonytins@pawb.social 2 days ago
This is going down as yet another game that’s stuck in development hell.

lath@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Oh my, guess all that “not” union busting mess is backfiring on them big time.
SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 2 days ago
That’s literally what happened, the remaining devs are revolting.
ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Where is it reported that the remaining staff are revolting?
Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 day ago
They lost more money delaying than if they had allowed everyone to unionize. Pathetic.
FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 2 days ago
Did they try to deny the obvious union busting?
lath@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yeah. Said the fired workers were sharing company secrets on discord instead of having union chats.
