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

[XL xQgg?QcQCaTYDMjqoDnYpG]

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.

That's what nu Saints Row did. Even with a Synthwave station.

 

[Miller]

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:

I'm still pissed that Cyberpunk 2077 didn't have a vaporwave radio.

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 said that punching down was bad, so expect the worst of current year, especially now that the old team have left Rockstar.

if it is a bonnie and clyde type of deal i might buy it on discount, if it is STROOOOOOONG WOMAAAAAAAAAAAAN and some schmuck hard fucking pass

They could do a radio station dedicating to playing Eurobeat

Bonnie and Clyde would be a really good premise for a co-op GTA clone.


What is the point in even having a contemporary Miami game?
All GTA games should just be period pieces.

 

[Mr. 0]

All GTA games should just be period pieces.

GTA III was contemporary. As was IV. They're all period pieces if you wait long enough.

Never had much interest in trying GTA IV.

90s Los Angeles is the best Los Angeles.
80s Miami is the best Miami. You'd think that would have picked that, cocaine cowboys era and all.
70s New York was the gritty one, right? I don't really remember.

Work with the best setting you have available. Personally I'd really like 70s San Francisco (San Fierro).

They already kinda did 70s NYC with The Warriors. 80s NYC would be kinda interesting, as you had stuff like celebrity gangsters like Gotti, the crack epidemic, Wall Street "greed is good", the rise of hip-hop culture, etc.

Modern day Miami really does nothing for me as a setting.

Whenever famous seedy NYC was. Since you mentioned crack, that's probably it.
2010s Detroit would have also been a great setting (I like the idea of vast abandoned neighborhoods, especially if it had RDR2-like ambushes and stuff... imagine having both crowded downtown AND nature and deer and raccoons reclaiming ghettos), and I maintain Texas done like San Andreas would have been amazing.

 

[Odd Opossum]

its social commentary will now be cringe instead of hilarious

One of the developers said they're going to cut back on the satire, because they're afraid of both political sides attacking them. I mentioned it before on here, but I don't think a Grand Theft Auto is possible to make nowadays. There's a reason why GTA 5 was mostly about bank heists and glowies, because there's not much "unique" crime wise about the post-2013 world.

 

[bango skank]

I don’t care what radio stations they have, just add in a fucking ipod or walkman item to buy so I can listen to the radio outside of when I’m driving.

There's school shootings and le haXX0ring I guess, but who would want that in a gta game?

Sad.

The NPR and Rush Limbaugh parody radio stations in GTA 4 had me absolutely dying back in the day. Probably the funniest videogame ever made imo. Just incredible, so many games try to be fuñny and it almost never works, but gta nailed it again and again, with 4 being the peak imo. It was like South Park in its humor to, just lambasting fucking everyone. No punches pulled.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

alright take your pick for the music the radio stations will play in 6. ive a feeling theres gonna be a modern latin pop station playing stuff by the j balvin and the bad bunny so ive accepted this fate but what else might they get playing on there?

Given how awful the radio already was in V, I have a pretty good idea:

• Boring Hip-Hop station #1
• Boring Hip-Hop station #2
• Boring Hip-Hop station #3
• Boring Hip-Hop station #4
• Boring Hip-Hop station #5
• Boring Hip-Hop station #6
• Boring Hip-Hop station #7
• Boring Hip-Hop station #8
• Boring Hip-Hop station #9
• Boring Hip-Hop station #10
• Latinx Radio that’s half random pop songs and half unlistenable trash
• Generic Pop Station that plays Taylor Swift
• A halfassed country station (country music is for chuds) where there’s only like ten tracks and one of them is Old Town Road while the other is something from Florida Georgia Line
• An even more halfassed electronic radio station that has only five tracks and all of them are horrible
• An indie station that’s effectively the same as the pop station but with one or two slightly more obscure artists
• A rock station that has barely any actual rock music and is just random songs from the 80s that have guitars in them
• An awful talk radio station that lacks any humor
• Another horrible talk radio station that consists of NotLaszlow being a Nazi incel Chud only to be educated by his brilliant female cohost
• A synthwave radio station

Lazlow left some time ago; I hope SOME of his writing skill is in the next GTA. It's certainly possible since this GTA was in development for God knows how long.

All GTA games should just be period pieces.

What the fuck gave you that idea? The first GTA was conetmporary, III was contemporary, IV was contemporary, V was contemporary. Hell, even Chinatown Wars was contemporary.

GTA 2 was the only exception where it was set in the future but no one ever bitches about how that's not a real GTA because it's fictional, and not contemporary/period piece.

The only "period piece" games from the series were Vice City, San Andreas, Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories, with LCS being a prequel to III. Well I guess you can add GTA London to that too, but that was just a mission pack for the first GTA.

GTA was never a series that was just period pieces and I have no idea what made you think that way. The period piece games were a brief episode between 2002 and 2006.

Then again:

Never had much interest in trying GTA IV.

All of your opinions on GTA are worthless based on that fact alone. If you haven't ever played IV and formed a personal opinion of it through that, your opinions mean jack shit.

Yeah this thread already talked about this.

Also, whoever posted that is a retard as much as IGN is. R* has NEVER said anything about "GTA VI" or "GTA 6". This keeps being peddled by journalists and the GTA community which is known for spreading rumors or even outright fabrications and lies as cold hard truth.

R* specifically talks only about "the next GTA game", so it might as well be a mobile game or a game that's titled something else.

I really fucking hope that R* will announce something that's not called "GTA 6" or "GTA VI" so that every single retard that kept yapping about it will get flabbergasted by the fact that it's not called that. Much like Valve worked on a new Half-Life game that wasn't called Half-Life 3 and Valve never said it was gonna be that but people kept talking about Half-Life 3 anyway. And it was a VR only game.

I want this so I can laugh, but deep down I know this is going to be a monkeys paw wish and it will probably just be "Grand Theft Auto" and the rumors of Rockstar wanting to make a blanket platform similar to what (some in) Activision were trying to do with Call of Duty will be true.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

@Slav Power I don't think they were all period pieces, I'm saying I think they SHOULD be period pieces, and my big argument for that is both that historical (20th Century) American cities are more interesting than contemporary ones and their two most beloved installments (San Andreas and Vice City) were, surprise surprise, period pieces (80s and 90s) that had much more charm because of it. That perhaps I don't give a shit about III and IV and Chinatown Wars because of their boring fucking settings, which I don't have to play to know I wouldn't like. And V sucked ass.

Also, suck my dick.
