They missed an opportunity to set the game in Faux-Minneapolis to really work with those demographics.

It's such wasted potential that they are STILL recycling Liberty, Vice, Los Santos, Liberty, Los Santos, Vice, over and over after all these years. The GTA world feels very small and creatively stale at this point, and some interesting new cities and locations could have injected some life and interest back into the series. Why not somewhere based on like, Dublin? Shanghai? Mexico City? There are so many cool cities with their own criminal underworld and subcultures. Why does Rockstar keep going back to the same well? Vice City was almost entirely a homage to the show Miami Vice and was heavily defined by it's 80s setting, I don't really see the appeal of 2020s Vice City with phone videos of twerking and le funny Florida Man (a meme current on reddit 10-15 years ago). Based on the trailer alone it seems soulless and uninteresting to me, granted it's just a trailer but its purpose is to get me excited and I'm nodding off.

Perhaps they want to play it safe with the setting by using what has worked in the past and also get some extra sales from nostalgia. It is kind of unfortunate because these modern games are really a "eggs all in one basket" approach to media and they aren't making any other titles in the series to be put out in a relatively quick rate compared to the 2000s so you kind of get stuck with what you get and if you like it, you like it and if you don't, you don't.

I can't say the trailer's woke (though Rockstar has some major red flags coming out of RDR2).

But the trailer was a celebration of trashiness, with the tolerable bits being the scenery parts.

With a new tone at the company and a change in creative direction, GTA VI will probably feel very different from its predecessor

You probably don't even need to read past the opening of the article to know what to expect. The bit I can read from the article before the paywall pops up says they cancelled a mode where you play as cops because of St. Floyd. GTA6 is woke and you can just tell from the excessively niggery trailer and the fact it's a tough girlboss latina latinx main character, but that article all but confirms it.
 
I don’t have much faith in modern Shartstar to produce anything of quality especially after the Houser brothers and Leslie Benzies were exiled from the company years ago.

I’m gonna call it this game is gonna be ESG dogshit

Some slower progression would be nice too, starting out hitting liquor stores and working your way up the food chain to banks or some other large target. One of the things I didn't like about 5, was having a lot of money so early in the game.
 
Mid Theft Auto. Niggercattle love their twerking, don't they? A friend of mine who I watched the trailer with was making monkey sounds the whole way through and this nigga black as fuck.

Trash.
 
Don't mind the female playable character, but man there are barely any Hispanics, for being Miami that is ludicrous. Can't wait to hear my Cuban, Venezuelan and Colombian friends bitch up a storm.

Also, I really hope R* ups their game on mission structure and gameplay.

If they did something else like that, in an international setting, I'd rather they just made it its own "brand" ala Red Dead, LA Noire, etc rather than trying to shoehorn it into GTA.
 
Since everyone here seems to think this trailer is shit because 'it didn't show anything off' I linked the first trailer for all the other 3D GTA games.

GTA 3's trailer is not technically the debut, but I can't find a good version of it. GTA 4 is still a masterpiece.
