As a former Floridian, this is definitely triggering my PTSD as they seriously nailed the atmosphere of Vice City (Miami). Curious if they main characters will be as well written as V’s were

Please not, V’s characters were kinda meh
zzmthesurand@kbin.social 11 months ago
Michael and Trevor were pretty well written, it was just the story that was kind of lacking IMHO
Graphine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The retards in the comments are giving me cancer.
Did we watch the same trailer? This looks fucking amazing. None of this is actual gameplay footage but it’s all been rendered IN ENGINE. Just like every other fucking Rockstar trailer to ever exist. This looks freaking insane.
People are shitting on the 2025 release date like……bruh. RDR2 took 8 years to develop. Rumors say this has been in development since 2019 or so, right after the release of RDR2. So 6-7 years which makes perfect sense.
Jesus christ I hope Rockstar parodies all of your asses to show how fucking negative the internet has become.

It’s going to be the most politically satirical GTA yet and the chuds will think that it’s actually dunking on libruls.
JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’m with you. The trailer looks incredible and I am very eagerly anticipating the game.
The trailer showed a lot of things that would likely be a part of the GTA6 story, and for that it looks like the game is geared up to be something incredibly entertaining and FUN!
My only gripe is the PC version is likely to release after consoles :(
justJanne@startrek.website 11 months ago
This is definitely at least in-engine, likely actually in-game footage:
- characters swimming in the water during both of the beach shots have no animations whatsoever, they just stand on the water like they’re jesus christ.
- one of the container ships in the later overhead shot showing the derelict bridge is entirely untextured and extremely low res, while the rest of the environment is highly detailed
- in the opening shot, parts of the city are billboarded or simple blocks to provide a basic skyline shape, while the areas around the prison are extremely detailed
The NPCs standing on the water also suggests NPCs are driven by the final actor and animation systems, but the animations for swimming or walking through water are just not done yet.
We also see a significant difference between the recreations of florida man memes, where every motion is keyframed to match the original videos, and the parts of the trailer where we see NPCs actually running their regular animation loops, as in the beach, club or road scenes.
Now, will we see this level of quality in game? Yes and no. Usually, a small elite team builds a vertical slice, a single mission in which every little mechanic already works, followed by many larger teams then building the rest of the game, trying to match the quality of the original template.
A good example of this is the original 40min E3 demo of cyberpunk 2077, which exists in the game 1:1 today. This vertical slice was awesome, but later missions usually had fewer alternative solutions, less polished environments and an overall lower interactivity.
So while I’m sure the robbery / prison / parole hearing part is fully fleshed out and will likely be included in the final game as-is, other parts of the game might not reach the same level of realism. Even if you ran the game on the same high-end workstations the developers are using.

Rockstar has a pretty good track record on their trailers being very close to what the actual game is.
Exusia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You can generate anything in-engine, it’s not representative of gameplay. Everyone does it and it’s equally shitty. It looks like a minute and a half of cutscenes and, other than character reveals it looks like a normal release. It just looks like smoothed out gta5, so like…gta5 on pc. The achievement wouldn’t be the graphics, it would be “can it maintain the graphics steadily and not drop frames”
Timeline is irrelevant, agreed. it will come out when it comes out.
PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That one scene where the guy was getting out of the car kinda looked like gta5 but the rest looked great…
Aasikki@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Rockstar has a great track record of their trailers being very close to the final game. Just look at any of their trailers and the final game. There’s not really any reason to believe it will be different this time.
SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 11 months ago
None of this is actual gameplay footage,
So there’s nothing to care about in the trailer.
Graphine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You are part of the group that I hope they parody.
Crafter72@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m more interested of how much satire, sarcasm, irony and parody they bring into gta 6. Not really care about graphics since whats shaping up gta is the satirical of the world especially usa.
If they still keep those in check on release, rockstar still had the balls.
Even though it is coming from rockstar main studios, I just hope it won’t be end up like Saints Row reboot which turn out become massive joke and the volition had to close up lmao.
Poggervania@kbin.social 11 months ago
Honestly, if Rockstar can make a modern GTA equivalent of Saints Row 2, they’d be golden.
Which is kind of ironic in a sense since Saints Row was originally the “GTA at home” clone but became amazing.
Crafter72@lemmy.world 11 months ago
In a sense of gritty crime story telling? Yeah I’d agree. Things that make SR1 & 2 differs from GTA is that they dont shy away from goofiness and let players having fun with lots of side activity but at same time they also have coherent direction where the story heading at (like Yakuza series).
Though I would be more cautious in writing as the only veteran staff of GTA creation that stays on Rockstar is Sam Houser. Dan Houser (his brother), Leslie Benzies and some others key people had leave Rockstar games due to some internal issues as far as I know.
Ser_Salty@feddit.de 11 months ago
Just the trailer itself includes two direct parodies of real Florida people (the tatted guy on TV and the woman with two hammers)
aluminium@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, hard to say what they do. If they keep the GTA 5 insanity level then its hardly a parody of real life since thats where real life is at.
Lesrid@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I find it a little upsetting that 5’s parody has become only a slight exaggeration of reality

cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Not disappointed in the trailer or the game or anything, but I would’ve loved to see a GTA set in a city outside the US. For example in a London-like city or Tokyo or Rome or Paris.
But yeah this new GTA looks sick. They did a great job in capturing the new fucked up Florida vibe.

If Rockstar wanted to bring back London '69 (maybe '79 now?) I wouldn’t be mad at all.
MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve always dreamed about this one, London 69 updated in their recent style. I think they talked about this before and the problem is the cops in London didn’t carry guns then so it made it difficult to be a GTA game in the typical sense.
Zeth0s@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They have police in those city.
All 2022 Rome had only 16 homicides… And street are too small and traffic is too bad for a grand theft auto… Rome is good for spy stories, thriller or stealth games. GTA wouldn’t really work
Umbraveil@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Technically… London has already been done.
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Ah… you make a very good point.
madsen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sleeping Dogs is probably as close as you’ll get. That’s a great game btw.
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Thanks for the reference! I’ll check that out!
Michal@programming.dev 11 months ago
USA as a very car centric country is definitely best suited for a car centric game like Grand Theft Auto.
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
That’s true lol. It’s not called grand theft métro de Paris.
CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
The Getaway (aka Snatch: The Game) had plenty of car action, it was pretty neat blasting through the tight roads and navigating traffic.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I want them to spin off another top down style gta game, I love the 3d but it would be cool to see them iterate on the OG style.
GTA 2 was my favorite
TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
GTA Chinatown Wars is great when it released for Nintendo DS and the PSP. It was actually a really well done update to the GTA 2 style of gameplay that a lot of people missed because it was a portable game.

3ntranced@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I always assumed GTA to be a broad parody on modern America. From the beginning it was a new York esque mob-gang warfare, and then moved out to add in more usa adjacent scenery. It’s more about keeping with the theme, let IPs like watchdogs take the initial risks.
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Good point. And Florida has become crazy enough that a GTA game set there is almost realistic.

MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’d like it just set in any new city outside of these 3. It’s always been a rotation of Liberty, Vice and San Andreas, even back to GTA 1 (which was the 3 cities in one)
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
True. Chicago would’ve been nice. Or Atlanta.
vanontom@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The Florida vibe is definitely oozing from this trailer. I can almost smell it, and quite frankly I’m disgusted. Bravo. I would’ve preferred the next GTA being somewhere else, but maybe this it exactly where it belongs.
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Agree. Florida culture has become very conductive for this kind of game.
tryptaminev@feddit.de 11 months ago
i dunno if they find enough whacky criminal characters. Seems to be the other countries are still too normal or things are too fucked up for the series to work there.

Monster96@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have a strange feeling about the story for this game. Here’s my prediction:
Lucia breaks out of prison with the help of Jason and an outside character. Lucia and Jason then go on the run turning into a Bonny and Clyde story. Doing heists and robbing people to make some cash to get away from the cops. But then, they rob the wrong person or they were forced to rob the person by the other character and are forced into the drug trade. Maybe the other character was a narco that either Lucia or Jason knew. The FIB or DEA catch wind of this and since Lucia and Jason prove to be very good criminals, they then rope them into taking down the drug trade by robbing and pulling heists.
This goes on until they both eventually find a way out or plan to pull “one last heist” that’ll free them from both the narcos and the FIB or DEA. But then, whoopsie, turns out either Lucia or Jason had some ulterior motive for tagging along with one another. While Lucia or Jason was in prison, they struck a deal with either the narcos or FIB to either escape the country or wipe their record. The catch? They had to bring the other person in, kill them, or just generally betray them.
Then the final act would be one of three options. Lucia kills Jason, Jason kills Lucia, or they both fight the narcos and FIB together Bonnie and Clyde style. Either way, bullets are gonna be flying.
The end game would be only Lucia or Jason are left alive and free of both the narcos and FIB. But, Maybe they became a crime Lord in the drug trade thanks to the other person dying or the FIB unknowingly.
Based on how Rockstar makes their stories, I predict one of the two is gonna bite the bullet by the end.
Schmuppes@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sounds exactly like something Rockstar would write. Kinda predictable, kinda “been there, done that”.
frezik@midwest.social 11 months ago
Best part of GTA V for me was the social satire and Trevor being a total sociopath. The story isn’t anything special, the final mission hits the wrong story beats (it should have ended with the big shootout of government bureaucracy pileup), and the gameplay has some design mistakes (like business income being completely useless, and money in general being a non-issue after the first big heist). It had bugs that prevented story progress without workarounds that were never fixed. It got a lot of praise at the time for having crazy draw distances in an open world game while working on an XBox 360. That’s no longer a big deal.
I don’t think it deserved all the five-star reviews it got back then.
Conversely, if the social satire is on point and the character building is solid, then I’ll be happy.

Thanks, you’ve saved me $80.
Krzd@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Based on how Rockstar makes their stories, I predict one of the two is gonna bite the bullet by the end.
By either
A) sacrificing themselves for the other or
B) being in a shootout with help arriving too late.arsepisser@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think the “escape from prison” part won’t happen, because we see Lucia with an ankle monitor in the promo pic. Implying she’s on parole or something. The rest sounds plausible though.
Goblin_Mode@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
Knowing Rockstar put off development of this game for as long as they did just so they could milk GTAO for every last penny makes me hesitant at best.
I have never been let down by a GTA campaign, but they know where the money is, I’m hesitant to believe they will give this one the attention it deserves after seeing the profits from GTAO. Or maybe I’m just pessimistic
Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
GTA5’s campaign was fairly good, but it sucks they abandoned the planned additions and shoved the assets into GTAO only. I do not care to play GTAO, but I would have liked more things to do in single player. Knowing that this is likely going to have single player solely as a pipeline into GTAO though, yeah I’m sceptical too.
AnAngryAlpaca@feddit.de 11 months ago
I think GTAO (and RDR2-O) is pretty much unplayable with all the obvious cheaters in each session. Rockstar doesnt even care if someone runs around with a K:D of > 1000:1, ruining the game for everyone else …
kosanovskiy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Am I the only one who no longer cares for GTA series after the Shark Code shitshow series has become ans the dropped promise of single player mods and DLC?
kromem@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
GTA is out of touch with the times. These days it’s all grand theft catalytic converter and leave your car in a shit state where you don’t know what’s even wrong with it if you aren’t a mechanic.
hal_5700X@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Florida simulator.
I hope this is going to be good. But I’m not going to hold my breath. Because we are talking about Take-Two and Rockstar here.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

Hindufury@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The fact that they got the twerk animation to be so realistic gives me confidence that they’re raising the bar and putting in the work on this game. Also every rule 34 modder is gonna take full advantage of this

I got tired a long time ago of games forcing phones and social media into them. They’re never done well, and real life social media sucks enough, we don’t need more of it in games.
Fredol@lemmy.world 11 months ago
With the plethora of great games getting released every month on PC, it’s very hard to feel any excitment for gane that will probably release in 2027 on PC. It doesn’t help that GTA Online left a sour taste, and even the single player story was only great for the first few hours then you just start doing heists for the fbi for the rest of the game. Considering we’re only getting a cinematic trailer after all this wait, I’m expecting already multiple delays or cyberpunk-level of disaster at launch
7u5k3n@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Man youre so right… You know they are going console 1st… then when ses die down they will release on PC. Same rinse and repeat bull shit as before.
My question is going to be how online will this one be? If it’s two separate deals like 5 then cool… If not. I’m probably going to pass.
cryostars@lemmyf.uk 11 months ago
Yeah that’s my question. Like many others, I grew up with the single player only GTA experience. I have so many core gaming memories just fucking about in GTA 3/vice city etc. I just really hope we get a decent single player experience.
Wahots@pawb.social 11 months ago
The shark card whale bonanza killed any excitement I had for the franchise. I know they are gonna just milk the shit out of it, and it will probably cut into the quality of the game/experience. On the plus side, smaller games like Last Train Home kick ass and are a ton of fun, and I’m looking forward to another indie game coming out next year.
MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I suspect given the success of GTA online their priorities have shifted and they’ll want this on as many platforms as possible on release. They’re a GTA online company now, units sold are a secondary concern.
abk16@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Take-Two already announced on their website there will be a time-exclusive release for PS5 and Xbox initially.
My guess is they’re going to treat online like a separate game release, like they did for GTA V and RDR2, and get out a PC version when that happens.
lud@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yeah, I am really tired of the double dipping attempts of trying to sell the game twice.
