I don’t really like the idea of GTA being set outside US. Its humor is largely based on mocking the US culture.
Gaming Grand Theft Auto VI
- Thread starter VeevaVee
- Start date
Not really, tbh. The batshit American culture just works for GTA.
I didn’t personally like the 3 character stuff last time except during combat, I found that part entertaining but I like to just get behind 1 protagonist. Hopefully you can play as as either or for those that liked it jump between.
Dunno but not 2025, I am out the loop with games hence buying a console but I was hoping for a 2024 date. Basically a date that meant I might as well not wait until Black Friday 2024 so let’s say I was hoping for any time before Thanksgiving 2024.
The entire trailer is basically what daily life is like in Florida.
Hopefully the main characters are called Florida Man and Florida Woman.
Yes. I’ve rewatched this about 5 times & certain scenes just look so dense, hopefully it’s really built up in areas & moves like one.
They'll milk it for sure hoping PC players buy it on both. Console 2025, PC 1 year later .. mods even longer.
Had no doubt it would look terrific from a visual perspective but I have to echo the sentiment on the setting. Vice City was one of my favourites growing but going back to that feels like a missed trick. I also don’t agree that GTA only works with Us culture. The things it mocks aren’t US centric but modern human life centric. But it’s fine - they feel it’s part of their brand / understanding and that’s also cool.
Like I said before, the main thing I’m keen on seeing is whether the gameplay becomes fun again (relative to the current times). Hope they listen to that specific feedback many had on previous titles.

I'm so welcoming to a bonnie and clyde like story in GTA's world. Going to be so badass.
The shot at 33 seconds immediately put this from the hotel lobby in my head. It's the same Ocean Drive strip, just 2025'd.
Can't wait, looks great.
They're not gonna have co-op for the story are they? If so that would be epic.

Not much actually revealed in that trailer. I'd agree it looks like a Bonnie and Clyde type story, but hopefully its more of the case you select one at the start and largely play as them. I'm never a fan of random switches between character inside missions. I've always preferred to have one consistent character that I view as me in games
that’s what the online is for (assuming you play online)
Trailer visuals look good. Looking forward to it. 2025 is far away though.
I did ages ago, but only because friends were. Though I didn't really mean me and in actually me, more as in my perspective/input to the story. I've always preferred to have a consistent character that I play.
I loved the crowd density. Hopefully some improvements on the AI of NPC too.
Got ya
A complex and well written relationship would be an interesting narrative angle for a GTA game and throw more weight to story beats given you play as characters who feel strongly about one another
It seems social media will be a big factor in this - as every shot here is on SM or towards a camera. Really hope that and the whole zany Florida culture doesn’t become a caricature - I mean it can but I think it’s also a low hanging fruit of satire / comedy to milk that.
The lead’s models look quite bland to me. Then again so did Arthur Morgan to me in the initial trailers. And look how that turned out.
Also see people stoked about the final shot of them robbing a store. And that to me is the most bland one as it’s basically every main mission of RdR2.
At the end of the day, for me personally , whatever else they do or don’t do, the gameplay changes or lack thereof will be the key factor. If the game plays like past titles with minor strides then this isn’t what I want at all. If they make the kind of leap Naughty Dog did with their gameplay in TLOU2 then bring it on.
Baseball bat vs. prostitute will still feel the same as GTA 3.
Think it looks absolutely incredible but surprised and disappointed by the 2025 date. Thought it would be late 2024 at the absolute latest.
Had a feeling it would be 2025/26.
If I remember correctly in 2013 when V was released, it was as early as January of the year when the release date was pushed back?

True - had they said it was coming in 2024 it prob would have been delayed until 2025 anyway!
I’m not really sure why anyone can be disappointed tbh
Well, the only real disappointment is that it doesn’t reveal much
Other than not revealing much, I’ve seen folks say it looks disappointing…..how? I saw incredible…..utterly stunning graphics and awesome crowd density
I’m looking forward too it even if it is abit of a long wait

I think it looks stunning! The world looks busy, vibrant and real and I can’t wait to explore it!
I just wish it was arriving sooner!
So the trailer didn't show any actual in game footage!?
It was in game footage - it wasn’t rendered outside of the game engine.
It was cut scenes, yes the graphical engine is the same but it was just cinematic footage,
Not saying the final product won't look close to this, but in-engine is not in-game. Showing in-engine footage is pretty much meaningless nowadays.
But I have no doubt that the final game will look just as good.
Holy shit. That looks so good.
Im with you, thought it looked so good. Its a shame its probably going to be xmas 2025 before we get to play it. I cant wait I have had 10 years of GTA5 keeping me amused so to have a whole new map and all that goes with it to learn is something to look forward to.Holy shit. That looks so good.
Maybe they want to have a different setting / protagonist / visual style ? feck knows. There’s always good reason to be disappointed with anything - even things that you or me might find great.
I think it’ll look like that. It’s a year and a half away - the most expensive game on the planet can surely look like that in 2025. And Rockstar games tend to look great for their time of release anyway.
Can’t wait.
yeah the combat on V and RDR2 was a bit dated but they were just great vibes. Nobody can build a vibrant open world game quite like Rockstar.

2025……still, shouldn’t complain I’ll probably clear my backlog by then.
Prune juice tends to work for me.
Cheers.
Anyone reckon we will have a new PS5/Xbox model in time before this?
Wouldn't be surprised if it is around the same time – or it will release on PS5 with a next gen update following along soon after.
