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

[xXx: State of the Union]

Yeah...I know. Rockstar just ain't the same.

Truly GTA III was the last good GTA game

Can we take a break from whining about niggers for a second so I can mention how weird the game looks on a graphical level? Something seems really off, for lack of a better term. It looks less like something Rockstar made using their Rage engine and more like Unreal, actually it gave me real Sony first party vibes aesthetically, which threw me off.

I'm 95% positive what you're looking at in this trailer is...the best I can put it right now is "cutscene content".

The reason it looks like a Sony first party game is because it's motion captured cinematics. This isn't gameplay euphoria animations.

That's why I said the twerking, the police body cam and news/social media footage is "pre rendered", although that's not the right term. It's motion captured cinematics. Still done in engine I'm sure, but not in gameplay.

Edit: For the actual graphical quality, there may be a disconnect because people are probably subconsciously comparing it to GTA V which is over a decade old now and not RDR2, so the big jump could be jarring.

That, and the game won't actually have that level of quality at release, most likely.

The racial make-up of Miami has whites as a minority. They're not that much far ahead than blacks in terms of demographics, and let's be honest the niggers are definitely underreported because if you think the Haitians are wanting to participate in the census you're nuts. Miami is a city of mutts and illegals and people are surprised it's depicted this way? I mean, I get it, I know where I'm at, but lol

4 was a good take on the series imo. It's 5 where the series dropped the ball and became budget Saint's Row, which itself became a wacky random XD humor simulator rather than a crime drama with some humorous elements.

if you pay money for this when it's out you deserve to have your bank account drained.

don’t play San Andreas then, it’s going to turn you into the quartering if you play it

I don't get the point of this. This shit isn't even coming out for another two years, and the internet has an attention span of a week at most. What does releasing this trailer accomplish? You get people excited for absolutely nothing and they forget all about it two years before your game is ready for market. That's assuming no big delays either.

I've never played GTA, because I don't get the appeal. From an outsider I see this trailer and think I really hate all these people. I get that it's meant to be over the top, you're not supposed to think too hard about it, and you're not supposed to think they are good people. But I can't imagine spending 30+ hours on a game where everyone is a total degenerate and I'm just waiting for bad things to happen to them. It all just seems really obnoxious. Maybe the games aren't that bad when you get into them, but this is how GTA sells itself. I just don't see the appeal, and I don't get the hype for a game that isn't even close to being ready.

I don't know, I'm not sold on it. There was a very generic feeling to the whole trailer that didn't hit with me.

It also looks outdated. To think it won't be out for at least another year. Probably two.

 

[The Last Stand]

I’m still trying to figure out what exactly GTA did that was such riveting social commentary. It was mostly lazlo making dick jokes and consumer brand parodies

Where can I begin?



There's an ad about a gigantic fast food burger for sale. Americans love fast food.



Another ad about a monster SUV alluding to the SUV craze from the early 2000s.

1..“Urban youth” picks up game.
2. I have to play a chick? Nigga, nah. Return.
3. Rockstar blames pirates on sales.

 

[Tepes Thot]

The graphics feel like those 3D mockups for house/apartment designs. The ones where they go all out and include people “living”.

It most likely won’t look like that in the end, but it’s uncanny valley right now.

omg consumer brand parodies, what insightful and enlightening social commentary

I still can't believe they never sold a Maibatsu Monstrosity in GTA Online.

My generation of GTA player is truly dead. I guess I should just be grateful they threw in a Cheetah Classic while I still played.

Unfortunately that's the norm and has been for years, I can't think of the last time a AAA game was announced within a year of it's release, at least here we get in-engine stuff showcasing the map and shit, nowadays the announcement trailer for a major game is usually pre-rendered bullshit.

still more witty than cyberpunk. It amazes me a group of adults in a room with collective brain power can’t figure out a decent joke or two with these video games.

 

[FiveStarAce]

I'm always down for a good love Story, but there is no Chance in hell any modern video game writer can write a natural relationship.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Is the plot twist that her BF is a cop and throws his career away because ACAB and becomes a criminal?

2025 tells me they're waiting for the political wind to change before they add more shit.

Animations looked crap.

On the plus side, DeSantis put all the troons and faggots into literal death camps, so we won't have any of them in the game.
