Grand Theft Auto VI

[John Arne]

Trailer leaked, so Rockstar went and released it officially.

Looks so nice, personally I would have preferred a new city (south America or Asia), but I know why they don't do that.

In all likelihood still nearly 2 years away. Kind of want to replay 5, but then I could easily do it at this point next year.

[Raoul Duke]

Looks cool. Definitely more of the same but if it ain't broke (/also makes you bazillions of dollars per year)...

GTA5 was on GamePass recently, might still be there if you fancy replaying it.

[Ben]

I’m not the target audience anymore probably but the fact it’s Vice City might convince me to buy the game through pure nostalgia. I’d need a console to play it on first though.

[wullie]

Looks amazing but my concern is that Vice City was great largely because of the 80s Scarface feel to it, not sure there's the same appeal to modern Florida although I will change my mind if you can go on a rampage in Disneyland and hijack a space shuttle.

[niko_cee]

Never played 5, has modern tech power allowed the 3d versions to step out of their linearity or, other than the odd dilemma, are you still required to play through the missions in a prescribed and non-failable way - in the sense that if you do they are still there to be tried again? Always thought that was one of the most interesting aspects of the original, even if it made Vice City, due to their insane police force, almost impossible.

Still think San Andreas was the high water mark for these. That scope. :drool:

[Shindig]

Yeah, when people think of Vice City they're wrapped in that coke-fueled 80's vibe. By the looks of trailer the vibe is going for a Florida Man pastiche. At least the wacky social media section seems to point that way.

My problem with Vice City as a location was how flat the place is. I reckon the linearity will still be there. The Bonnie and Clyde protagonists lend themselves to more heists which will be where any sense of creativity might slip in.

[Baz]

Might be one of those people and book time off work when this comes out. 2025 though. :worried:

[Bernanke]

The amount of views this trailer is racking up is absurd. GTA really is a whole special thing isn't it.

I'll probably play it, it'll probably be pretty good. :sorry:

[SincereTheRebel]

Gsmr will be amazing. Like all GTA's are. The level of detail in the lasts installment was a mastetpeice.

[Mike]

Excited to give this a go, I had hoped they’d do something like ‘here’s a trailer and it’s out super soon’ but I guess they can’t build up the hype that way.

[Pepe]

Place does look like Miami. I am guessing that it will be as boring as all of the previous ones.

[SincereTheRebel]

There was online chat about it being based in London. Not too sure how it would work with the AI claiming to "Chef You Fam"

[Yevrah]

Less of a movie like their last efforts and more of the jank from the earlier games would be my wish, which won't happen.

[Gray Fox]

Didn't the stolen data supposedly say the game takes place in a couple of different cities?

I'm interested to see what the new gimmick is. Last time the near seamless swapping between characters was a great introduction.

[Shindig]

There's a map leak which implies 3 major cities.

[SincereTheRebel]

What is the size of the map compares to others?

[Ian]

I imagine as with all the other Rockstar games I've played I'll play this, admire it as an impressive feat and be left utterly cold by it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

GTA isn't my bag but I played LA Noire a few years back and thought the world-building side of it was amazing. You'd have to wonder how good they'll be at it in 10 or 20 years.

[Gray Fox]

What is the size of the map compares to others?

Only dealing with leaks for now but it would seem to be 3ish times bigger than GTA5, the last time I heard it mentioned.

[niko_cee]

Vice City San Andreas. :drool:

Miami, the Keys and maybe somewhere on the other coast like St Pete, Everglades in between.

The older I get the less of a selling point this stuff is.

[Gray Fox]

Young me would have been impressed. Current me wonders how our current hardware is going to cope(especially given the PC version will likely be a 2027 job).

[Shindig]

Current hardware is fine. We've just not seen many studios really get their teeth into it.

[wullie]

I like the sound of a bigger map, they're one of the few developers who know how to build a world so I'd trust them to both fill it and leave parts of it peacefully empty. Apparently there's going to be a large amount of buildings you can actually enter which will be a huge difference

[Baz]

Gonna be a scramble at work cos about four of us want two weeks off for it.
