Gaming Grand Theft Auto VI

Btw this looked fecking great for its time. Back then it felt incredibly realistic with the imagination doing the rest. 20 from now GTA6 will probably look bad - doesn’t mean that’s a reason to keep doing the same setting.

I’ll put it this way, MGS2 blew me away in a way that RDR2 /GoW could not - because for it’s time it was absurd looking whereas the latter two were great but not quite that ahead of their time (GoW did have a big affect on me but more in teams of the visual and narrative design).

Personally I don’t see an issue. Every developer has their own forte. Rockstars is Americana open worlds - so what other options were there for a modern day map? Texas?! LA? New York? The options aren’t as diverse as people think.

Yeah Florida allows for everything except basically snowy mountains. If you put it in Texas you'd basically not be able to put black people in the game.

:lol:

Yeah I liked the fictional Montana (actually I probably liked the gameplay more than the world) that Far Cry 5 did which was I think a bit like that belt of the US but it doesn’t suit a GTA game at all. Vegas could be another option I suppose but again all glitz and not enough variety.

I had the exact same thought. Far Cry 5 had a fun setting, but it's hard to see a GTA game there.

Personally, I'd love to see them do something like they did with San Andreas, with three different cities.

You don't need to defend it. I was there on day one and played it again last year. However, it's undeniable that the scope, fidelity and mechanics of a modern open world don't demand a revisit.

This would he make sense if options like Tokyo, Subcontinent, Europe or a fictional place like Night City were an option. But it’s not - this is a Rockstar world and the options are what they are. So I’m not getting the fuss about location.

Anyway it will mean nothing to me if it plays like their previous titles. That’s what I want to see change big time.
 
I feel sad that we have fully grown men excited for this.

I think it's really nice to see everyone happy about something for once. It doesn't happen often these days so take it where you can get it I say.

Odd comment.

What things is it ok to be excited about?

Enjoyed Punk's return a lot and have probably replayed it more than 50 times. Not really enjoying the wrestling part as all the matches are the same and the in-ring storytelling is either missing or is forced. Also, in terms of storylines, nothing seems interesting.

As for the wrestlers, LA Knight is a throwback to the Attitude Era. Cody has improved a lot in terms of charisma although he is still a bit sloppy in the ring. Kevin Owens is incredible, and Sami Zayn is good.

I guess we should all move over to the wrestling thread instead?
 
Agreed. It's one of the best places they could choose to portray the satire they do so well and to reflect current life and world situations.

I would absolutely love a London based GTA but I don't think it will ever go there. The US market for Rockstar is too strong.

Americans don't buy GTA because it's set in America.. And Miami is such a dull location!

A new Grand Theft Auto is something I've looked forward to since San Andreas in 2004. Grand Theft Auto release day is one of the best feelings in life. Especially now with it being a 10-12 year wait it's just special and you're damn right I'm excited for it.

Well, According to a leak
there will be three major cities in GTA VI

Couldn't disagree more. I love Vice City and I've been waiting years for them to go back there. And according to one of the leaks, there's going to be multiple cities.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get like a San Andreas style map where they join say Florida and Georgia together so they can include a city based on Atlanta too. Just a hunch I have...

Anyone who thinks Miami is boring will get an all expenses paid trip there from me, then we'll see who thinks it's boring.

No expenses will be paid and you'll be shipped in an oil drum.

I just don't think Americans would buy GTA as much if it was set in London and the UK market loves the parody of Americans.
 
Why not NY as the setting?
Because that's only 2 games ago and it would break the cycle of the original 3D trilogy. GTA 3 (Liberty City = NY) > GTA Vice City > GTA San Andreas > GTA 4 (Liberty City again) > GTA 5 (San Andreas again, although a smaller part of it) > GTA 5 (Vice City again).

You post in the pro wrestling thread you plonker.

I just started to watch wrestling again and one thing that's strange is none of the factions look serious. They all act like clowns even the bloodline that's supposed to be serious. I used to love tag teams, but it seems like no one cares about that now.

Also, I heard that Roman Reigns is the real deal now. He's always just smirking and whenever he acts alpha, he's extremely monotonous with no depth to his character.

How hard is it for Kevin Owens to put on some muscle? At least look like a wrestler if you want to be a star.

It's not like he's excessively fat either. He trains every day so I wonder why, bad eating habits more likely.

Looks incredible! Can't wait to explore the map. :drool:

Haven't bought any games in over a year now and none of the games coming out next year interest me as much. Pre-ordering this one as soon as it goes up.

But we've had it all before. You can't keep doing the same old thing and expect it to remain fresh. And the idea that Americans wouldn't buy it because it's set in London.... Come off it. They'd be all over it like flies on shit.

Weird because the large majority of people love the trailer and it's only a very small few in here who don't find the upcoming release appealing.

I don't think it would have the same appeal to them, no. Watch Dog: Legions which was set in London sold far less than the first two which were set in the US.

People love anything GTA. So why not try something new.
