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

[Beautiful Border]

Because GTA: Vice City and Scarface: The World Is Yours are 22 and 18 years old respectively and play and looks as such. Two decades ago is hardly modern.

You can play games from that long ago and still have a pretty good time (in fact I'd say you're more likely to have a good time playing a 22-18 year old game than a modern one). Even aside from how bodged the GTA "Definitive Edition" remasters last year were, they also unintentionally proved that these games didn't need to be remastered to begin with.

On a personal level I'm honestly just sick to death of being beaten over the head with the 1980s. Stranger Things, Ready Player One, the virtually endless sequels, remakes and reboots of franchises from that decade, it's gotten beyond tiring. I totally understand why the decade is so well-loved, but we're at the point where we need to move on and do something new already. You can in fact have too much of a good thing.

At the moment sticking to a single landmass has been boring.

I agree with you here. A reason I think Florida is a good choice is because of the diversity it could bring to the map design - the Everglades, the Florida Keys, that's a decent amount of variety for the non-Vice City areas right there. If they were feeling ambitious they could even include the Bahamas in some form.

A modern version of a Red Dead city like Saint Denis would be neat.
Going back to San Fierro or Las Venturas would interest me as well.

I'd like to see a prohibition era Red Dead after all the first games timeline ends with Jack in 1914 age 19 so you could have it take place ten years in the future when the government starts cracking down on bootlegging and you could have it with Jack and a band of misfits sticking it to the man smuggling Canadian Club over the border.

I'm surprised there isn't more outrage about this game launching on xbox series S in 2025. A console so underpowered, it dropped any advertising of 4k and can barely hit 1080p above 30fps.

Imagine launching a game 10 years in development on what is essentially a last gen console. May as well release it on X1 and Ps4

Xbox Series S|X. They're two SKUs of the same console (family.) By law, any games released on Xbox Series X would need to have an Series S port. I know they'll have to scale down some graphics for the Series S to run it properly.

This is probably years late, but does anyone else feel like GTA5 was intentionally disincentivizing players from having fun killing NPCs? One of my favorite features of the old games was that if I was in the mood to run over drug dealers and such without dealing with the police, it was convenient to do so because one star only lasted like 10 seconds and you could get a away with killing several people without getting one. But in GTA5 I noticed that if you kill anyone or anything anywhere with any weapon, the police always get called and then they seek you out for 5 minutes straight, and the only variation is in the delay. For me it really sucked a lot of the potential fun out of the game and disappointments like that are why I'm the most underwhelmed I've ever been to hear there's a sequel coming out.

Played through VC again a year ago and breezed through that mission. How the hell were we so retarded that it took us many attempts to complete it?

You've been preparing for that rematch your entire life whether you knew it or not.

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

Doubtful. The 3D era lore and the HD era lore are two separate universes. Ray Liotta and R* ended on amicable terms. They even gave a farewell to him after his death. I feel it's more of him not understanding video games as a respectable medium. It went better than Burt Reynolds and VC.

Speaking of good terms with voice actors didn't in his opinion the guy who did Nico in IV get shafted pretty bad when it came to getting paid? He said he got paid well enough but when it came down to how much the game would ultimately made it was a pittance.

 

[ScurvyRat]

I cannot fathom a bigger blunder than releasing on console only, but that barely scratches the surface of the severity this trailer indicates.

Console gaming is the worst it has ever been and that's saying something. Especially with the size of this game and the apparent graphical fidelity, current hardware just won't support the game advertised in the trailer.
It really feels like a cyberpunk situation all over again. They promised an impossible product and will have to pay the price when the game comes out. If you thought 2077 was bad, oooooo baby just wait till you see the console fags lose their fucking minds when the $100+ game they bought runs like dogshit and looks about 20% as good as this initial trailer.

Everything from what we have heard from GTA 6 has been a massive fucking shitshow. From the leaks last year to the shenanigans around the trailer releasing, it's quite clear that Rockstar is crumbling from the inside out.

Think about how they have walked back the intense violence, racism, and offensive content in the past few months. Their corporation has been infiltrated and the rot is beginning to show. Call it feminism or Jewery, or just pure retardation, I don't give a fuck. You know as well as I do that's what's happening.

Starfield is just the tip of the iceberg for major game studios that are "too big to fail." 2025? Shiiiieeeeeete nigga, that's plenty of time for other AAA games to come out and flop hard like Starfield.

GTA 6 will be the one that crashes the industry.

 

[Croaking Spider]

After seeing the trailer, it really doesn't do much to make me feel any anticipation or desire to play it. The GTA series has become more soulless and toothless with each passing entry. I'm sure there will be plenty of Marvel-tier quippy dialogue and quirky characters across the sexual and neural spectrum, but you know what there won't be? Potshots at degenerates, fat women, gays, or unironically addressing current-day clown world.

Every now and again I'll give this a listen when I'm driving somewhere and it never fails to at least get at least a chuckle out of me. If GTA6 doesn't have an Alex Jones radio show equivalent, I'll be disappointed. Lazlowe got a raw fucking deal in GTA5, even as a play on the idea of radio shows going out of style. Give us back Fernando Martinez.

 

[Twinkie]

Gator wrasslin? Muddin? This looks like it's going to have better minigames than GTA5.

 

[FunPosting101]

lol
A full fucking year of everyone on /v/ shitposting about this game. Also Miami doesn't have nearly as many blacks in it as this trailer makes it look like it does. A more accurate demographic mix for the area would be: old white people, young hispanics and whites, and the occasional black person. Fuck you rockstar for announcing this shit so early.

Trailer so hyped, it has more LIKES than VIEWS. HOW?

Sometimes the API for it is just behind, I have seen it on obscure videos also.

 

[lolcow yoghurt]

wow game series that is full of niggers and crime have a new game that is full of niggers and crime! gaming is truly over, the western game industry has fallen... time to go play hentai visual novels...

 

[fartsnstuf]

honestly, the writing is on the the wall, and you'd have to be naive or retarded to not see it

>Sam Houser stopped giving a shit
>Dan Houser fucks off
>Lezlie Bensies fucks off
>Lazlow fucks off
>Having shit be leaked numerous times
>stated on numerous occasions that they're getting rid of the "Frat boy culture" and "punching down"
>R* team shirts are endorsing current year faggotry with "Rockstar Pride"
>Milks the shit out of GTA: Online and Shark Cards
>same company that released the terrible """Definitive""" Editions
>same company that also tried to force people to upgrade to the """Definitive""" Editions

 

[Greggs]

Did anyone actually enjoy fifth installment? I gave up around meeting Trevor I guess, hardly remember anything.

>Lazlow fucks off

Ok, why even bother then

robbing banks is cool naked sheebons twerking on cars is not both are crimes though

 

[RVNX]

I was more hyped for Microsoft Flight Simulator than this.

For some reason this trailer invokes absolutely nothing worth looking forward to. Vice City had its appeal from the 80's setting, so putting it into the 2020's just makes it feel more like another Watch Dogs or other GTA clone rather than a GTA itself. IV was great because it transformed an otherwise lively city into a depressing hellscape, and V was just refreshing and massive overall. VI has nothing on offer that's in any way new or interesting.

 

[soulgains]

My personal wish for this game is that Danny McBride or Theo Von have a redneck advice station where R* doesn't write for them. Theo Vons show is practically a GTA radio show already.

I now see why Null hates A&H with a passion. 40 pages of 4chan tourists unable to contain themselves as they sperg about niggers. Reminds me of why i stopped going there over half a decade ago.
