Okay but twerking, generic looking main characters aside, who in the company looked at Los Santos then thought "Okay but what if the next setting was Vice City but WITHOUT all the charm and purpose of setting it in the 80s?"
Literally the last time anybody gave a fuck about Florida or Miami in any good capacity.

We have a whole Liberty City that would have been a significantly more interesting setting.
 
Yeah, it’s a huge aspect. The way the music worked in previous games felt like a soundtrack to a film.

I remember thinking as a kid that I couldn’t wait for the commercials to stfu on the real radio, but GTA’s commercials were so layered and funny it was cool.

There’s also the fact that a good selection could even make you leave your genre comfort zone.

I’m not looking forward to Post Malone and Megan the Stallion screeching. The radio will age like gumbo just a few months in if that’s it.
Another new immersive feature of GTAVI

Instead of listening to the shitty songs on the radio, you set up a playlist on your IRL phone and just listen to that just like everyone does IRL now.

I'd say you'd do it in the game, but everyone knows modern consoles won't allow that. (or do they have spotify or something now? fuck if I know tbqh)

Probably someone who realized that Gen A, Gen Z and a large portion of Millennials are not going to spend hundreds of dollars in shark cards for 1980's vehicles and clothing in GTA Online 2.

Because Vice City already exists. What you're describing has already been done. Why do so many people apparently want to be served the same thing over and over again?

And I disagree with the premise that you need the 1980s for the Florida setting to be interesting. It's still a state that's strongly associated with weird and wacky things happening in it, hence the Florida Man meme.

The trailer had little dialogue, so we didn't get to hear anyone say the word "fuck".

Strip clubs were featured within the first 30 seconds of the trailer, you're literally imagining things. What part of this says that Rockstar is removing ANY edge?

Do you not understand what a HYPOTHETICAL is or are you the retarded nigga in the back, desk-space to himself, watching Skibidi toilet on loop while eating glue in his 5th grade class?
 
They thought Miami would look like Kansas.
Kansas City, Kansas has a larger percentage of blacks than Miami. It's like 21% black there. In Miami, it's around 12%, basically the same average as the United States. Filling a Miami stand-in city with niggers is unrealistic, it should be majority White Latinos as it is in real life.

But we all know in current year, it's all about how many niggers you can fit into your game/movie.
 
Anyone who is mad about this trailer is simply confirming that they're the kind of person who falls for outrage content mills like The Quartering, people looking to be mad almost purely for the sake of being mad at something.
There's a segment of people who are just getting old and are mad that video games no longer give them good feelings like when they were young, too.

Some learn to accept it, but others lash out.

That's if you only count the City center. The greater Miami area which consists of most of southwestern florida has a black population which comprises 18% of 6 million residents. Combine that with Miami Beach being a prime tourist destination during parts of the year and you have a much larger population that will have a different behavior than anything in Kansas.
 
First Impression of 5 > San Andreas > Vice City = 4 > 5 = 3 > First Impression of 6
 
GTA as a series is dead. Its main draw was being a sandbox to do whatever, not many games at its time of Vice City or San Andreas could do that. Now you can throw a rock and hit a bunch of games that fill that niche but better. Rockstar should’ve done Bully 2 or a period piece set around 1920s Chicago during prohibition, that would’ve given people a good reason to be drawn in. Now it feels like any reason I’d want to play GTA (sandbox mass shooter vidya to mindlessly waste time) I can easily find elsewhere.
 
If was get the opportunity to shoot a twerking girl (as seen in the trailer) off a car it could be interesting.
Jesus christ though, that is a LOT of fucking ghetto shit infesting the first half. REALLY don't like that vibe. Had me thinking it was only black people for a good bit.

YouTube Title: GTA6 best game ever.

Video content: George Floyding random black people. Picking up black people and throwing them off cliffs. Shooting a rocket launcher at black people at a beach.

Ban Reason: Racism.

Because Rockstar has never embellished their settings by adding unfitting things like jetpacks, rocket cars, mad max battle cars, and various other vehicles that are practically ripped from 80s movies like the flying car that is literally the Back To The Future DeLorean. Or adding style that totally belongs in downtown Los Angeles such as functioning Tron suits, mad max armor, android ninja armor, and alien costumes of various levels of authenticity ranging from greenman ayylmao suits to detailed predator expys

Because Vice City already exists. What you're describing has already been done. Why do so many people apparently want to be served the same thing over and over again?
Please list like 3 modern games that are akin to Vice City with a similar time period and setting.

And I disagree with the premise that you need the 1980s for the Florida setting to be interesting. It's still a state that's strongly associated with weird and wacky things happening in it, hence the Florida Man meme.
I'm not saying you strictly need the 80s to make Florida interesting.
Yes, Florida man is a meme, but as a setting for an 8hr campaign and online game that will last the next decade. It sounds like a hard sell for me, broh.

If you like it, all the more power to you; go grug out in the Florida swamps with my blessings.
The biggest rumor I'm holding some hope for is that it will span all three areas of Los Santos. Liberty City, and Vice City. Given how much they talked up the development of the Los Santos map from GTA5 and the sheer amount of work it took to construct that map. It would be insane if they didn't bring it back in some capacity.
