Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[The Last Stand]

*everyone gathers in front of the announcer of the R* Panel*
"Ladies and gentlemen..."
*everyone leans in, they are all eyes and ears on this guy, more focused than a distraught bystander on 9/11"
"We are excited to announce..."
*they can't contain themselves, they're all hyped beyond belief, they could die or kill a person at any moment of distraction*
"GTA... SAN ANDREAS STORIES!!!!" (aka GTA V2)

I was there when R* had the gall to do an "extended and enhanced" GTA V trailer during Sony's State of Play. That was the biggest Rick Roll yet.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

If it was a real San Andreas Stories, like taking place in the 3D era San Andreas but like in the 80's I'd be happy tbqh

But if it was just another GTA V expansion I'd be like too little too late

Anyone who's not retarded knew that GTA6 reveal is too good to be part of SNOY's notingburger showcase

Yeah, I believe the 3D era lore is done at this point. GTA IV was a soft reboot for the franchise in terms of storytelling for the better.

GTA 6 announcement, Take Two's stock increases. It's sad that GTA 6 is only of necessity for their stocks and not of passion.

Lmao.

 

[The Last Stand]

How are they going to make Vice City look distinctive in the HD era? That's a hard act to follow.

 

[Serbian Peacekeepers]

I think that at the very least GTA 6 will have a fun sandbox, story will probably suck ass and have shitty references to cringe leftoid politics, and will probably feature Not-Trump and Not-Proud Boys being a enemy who is both incompetent but also a threat to all of America and must be stopped. The game will probably have some BLM shit in it and Cops will probably be overtly racist, and all the other awful ideas we can think of, but at least running over pedestrians in a car will be fun.

They're not going to even try. The (zoomer/millennial) money is in making everything contemporary, not in a stylized vision that overrides potential profit.
Expect a current-day Miami, which outside of Miami Beach is ugly as shit and has 0% of that faux-80s glitz.

Since IV, R* has had a priority in making their worlds cutting-edge detailed and graphically impressive. Style, atmosphere, and fun take a far-back seat.
No seriously, check the interviews; they always use words like "most detailed" or "most realistic" when describing their new settings post-SA. Never "most fun". I particularly remember them being excited about how it would originally take you an hour to get from edge of Liberty City to another (lol) and how they made glass-breaking animations for vehicles rather than sell you on how much fucking fun you would have or how much customization would be improved (lol x2).
Then there's their eternal unicorn since VC; life-like Peds/NPCs. They've always promised that their 'next-gen' AI means pedestrians and NPCs are completely independent of the player and that if you choose, you can stalk one at random and watch them live out their lives; go to work, go home, socialize, and eventually ascend in their lives or be left on the streets. Then post-launch they explain that the technology "just wasn't there yet" (true, but it'll never be at that point anyway. Having an AI that runs itself millions of times simultaneously is going to be stressful on all but the most beefy CPUs, so maybe just stop saying this time you really got it down).

Forget about all that; the nigger music will be most of the content featured on the radio except for the homosexual urbanite station and the hipster station. Fucking hell, can we at least get a Spotify/AM/Pandora/etc station on consoles akin to the MP3 Player/Independence FM/Self-Radio stations on PC?

As far as we can see on the leak, Ocean Beach looks more like irl counterpart of it (Miami Beach)
No 80s aesthetic or whatsover

 

[The Backwards Man]

Since it takes place in GTA universe Florida, will the beaches be filled with fat landwhale mexicans like in the stories our Dear Feeder serenades us with on MATI about his time in the fabled lands of Pensacola?

 

[The Pulverizer]

I can't wait for GTAVI to come out so we can all see what a giant disaster it will be. People have been salivating for this release in the last 10 years and it's going to be the biggest disappointment in videogame history.
If they cancel it, then Take Two's stock will literally plummet overnight and R* will go up in flames. They've been teasing this game for so long that backing out now would be suicide. R* will most likely take the pretentious TLOU2 route so they can at least get pity points from the media and the morons that listen to game journos.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

The leaks show that it's modern day, and of course they'd do that.

Zoomers aren't going to spend 20 dollars on a shark card for a Testarosa or a Countach. They want new modern cars and flying rocket bikes.

All electric of course.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

I was literally sick for almost four days and I found out from an Instagram clone website that GTA VI will have a teaser trailer come December, yet to somehow get over this sickness, I’ve been doing nothing but watching Manhunt gameplay videos.

Not that that has anything to do with this new development, but for those unaware; in the next 10 days, Manhunt will turn 20 years old.

Rockstar can also go real cheap with modern indie music for most of the radio stations and maybe have one 80's station that just plays Synthwave for the aesthetic.

They should at least license some Pop Smoke music for the clubs. Hell, throw Young Mayley a bone for his music.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

As far as the GTA VI soundtrack goes, it would actually be a real disappointment if they don’t add a vaporwave radio station in game. It needs to be in the same vein as this:

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

I'm suddenly reminded of how much people wanted a Synthwave station in GTA V, and all the fake rumors about Kavinsky claiming he'd be a radio DJ in it.

Damn, feels like a lifetime ago now.

 

[The Last Stand]

and will probably feature Not-Trump and Not-Proud Boys being a enemy who is both incompetent but also a threat to all of America and must be stopped.

Don't forget the exclusion of the Confederate flag and perhaps a trans side character for social justice.

Hell, certain parts of America are practically IRL GTA servers anyway.

Yeah I think it's gonna suck. Physics and visuals will be amazing, but outside of that, gonna be awful. All the people who made GTA and R* what it was are long gone now.

Game will have no real edge, its social commentary will now be cringe instead of hilarious, story will not be compelling at all.

It will make buhmillions of dollars, but the game will still fucking blow.

I'm glad I'm old enough to remember the glory days on PS2 where we had a stretch of a new GTA game almost every year, and they were all dank as can be.
