Grand Theft Auto 6

2PM our time. Let's Go!

And they sure know how to exploit.

Can't wait 😁

Yesterday's tweet for new GTA online content in December has 21k likes!

This vague image of a palm tree is about to top 1m likes in 2 hours!

Hype Hype Hype 🥳

Any guesses what type of release date we might be looking at?

From what I remember it was about a year or so from GTA5 being announced to released?

They said the trailer was getting shown early December, and all day before this tweet there was a load of people tweeting and tweeting "Hey it's December now where the trailer"

They'd be getting that again and again until the trailer otherwise, this is the one time an announcement of an announcement/trailer makes sense.

I just can't get excited for this. Rockstar have burned any faith I had in them when their lack of single player dlc, zero effort releases and intent on milking online. But at the same time I'm sure they can do something special, but society is very different now so I wonder how they'll present everything.

My prediction is they'll just show the usual jump cuts of the city with some people walking and cars driving to some song and people will say it's the most amazing game ever.

Like the conspiracy theories from the first GTAV trailer where it showed Michael from behind and everyone was convinced it was actually Tommy Vercetti.

Ten years milking GTA Online and nothing but crappy remasters and ports released since RDR2 in 2018.

The accountants have taken over in Rockstar, I've bought every mainline GTA title on release day since GTA2, this time round I might wait for a review.

I'm already shocked by thing #8

I know people complained about GTA Online a lot but they made so many important changes over the last couple of years but the is infrastructure was buckling and you could see what they wanted to do just wasn't possible without rebuilding. Gives me hope that the new GTA Online should have a solid base to kick things off. There was a ton of single player focused content added and i know well never make up for a lack of base game dlc, but it's a step in the right direction for online.

As for the base game, man, I still vividly remember GTA 1 and the journey this franchise has been on, can't bloody raid to see what they have in store but keeping expectations somewhat in check. Rockstar have never been the best as mission design so i imagine a prettier looking GTA 5 with better music (as long as they have the 80's station).

Of course how else are those YouTube channels (some who say they already have the trailer and showing it) get there views and 💰

Was inly thinking, I wonder how much money MS are willing to throw at Rockstar to get this as a Day 1 Gamepass. I don't think it would make financial sense on Rockstars side, but would be a massive and necessary win for MS.

Just thinking about the vice city and surrounding areas, there's probably gonna be a lot of animals making the trip from red dead. Gtav was sparse for wild life.

My main hope (especially after RDR2) is that they remember that GTA is supposed to be fun rather than realistic. I want every type of gun that I can pull out of the prison wallet when I need it even though it might not be realistic. I want to drive a vehicle until the battery on my controller runs out without having to think about having to stop to put 'gas' in the car or whatever. If I put a hat on my character, I don't want it to fall off and then I have to try re-equip it.

Tell a decent story with decent characters, and let players have a bit of fun with it all. And have some of the bigger main-story missions be scripted and linear, but let players be able to experiment more with most of the other missions.

Oh!!

So looks like it's time to buy a new console......

GTA5 was the first proper GTA I got into (on PS3) and it was just....... well, you all know how utterly amazing it is/was. I've not done a whole lot of gaming since then... but always said when GTA6 came out, I'd get it, and whatever the latest Playstation was it arrived on.. so I guess that time will be soon.

Almost definitely no gameplay. Probably not even a release window (especially given the delays to GTAV and RDR2).

It'll be similar to the first trailers for both GTAV and RDR2; one minute or so giving hints towards the story, showing off the setting and one or two new things you can do in the game with a main character(s) VO. Maybe by the third or fourth trailer we'll start seeing proper gameplay.

We're in this for the long haul. Even without delays the game is probably still 18 months from release. They're not going to give away anything substantial in this reveal trailer.

Apologies for being slightly OT, but if we're looking at a 12-18 month lead time to release, for someone who's completely out of the loop re console generations/releases etc.. (my recent history is Wii, PS3, and sons Switch), is it known roughly when the PS6 will be released? As if it was close enough to the game's release, I'd imagine it'd be clearly better on the next gen consoles....

I only played GTA5 on the PS3 (which I bought in 2013, so was already close to being replaced by the PS4), and though it was amazing and better than anything I'd played before, when I saw my nephew playing it on his PS4 a few years later, I couldn't believe how much better it looked and felt (I had a very brief go)...

As Retro says, we're unlikely to get the next gen for a minimum of 3 years, probably even longer. The PS4/Xbox1 gen went from 2013-2020, which would likely mean this PS5/XSX gen could be 2020-2027 at least.

Many are expecting a possible PS5 Pro or similar upgrade to Xbox consoles next year. A mid-gen upgrade like there was last gen. If GTA6 is likely 18 months away, chances are the PS5 Pro would already be out by then. But if you wanted to jump into this gen before that if you had interest in other games, there'd be no harm buying a new PS5 anyway.

Thats fine then, when it comes out I'll just get whatever the PS of the day is.. mid generation, which I believe my PS3 is (Slim?). I just thought if the next gen was just around the corner I'd hang on, but a PS5 will do fine.. I did get into Call of Duty a fair bit too, but once GTA5 came out, it was game over for everything else...

That first trailer for GTA5.... it was just fcuking epic!! And I really hope we get something worthy of it tomorrow...

Same, this will be the first time since the first GTA game that I won't be playing it on release on a console.

As much as it's a day 1 release buy for me, I've finally reached the point of 'I can't have that ugly piece of shite in my living room' when it comes to the PS5 and Xbox Borg cube.

Xbox Series X is a beautiful quiet piece of hardware. Even comes in a really nice box. PS5 is fugly, noisy and comes in McDonald's packaging. IMHO. 😁

GTA6 doesn't need better hardware. PS5/SX should be plenty. What it does need is some really fresh game design and a good story. I don't care for the multi player.

PS5 is a quiet machine.

The design is divisive without a doubt and it's a clunky unit but it's easy to keep clean, removing dust is a must for modern consoles, I like many people had to void my PS4 warranty to be able to clean the dust out of the fans etc the PS5 makes that process simple, a couple of plates clicked off the unit and you're able to clean it out, no screws to go missing etc, click them back on and the jobs done. It sits there super quiet after it's start up noise, the days of noisy fans should be over once people keeps their machines clean.
