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

[The Last Stand]

GTA 6 is the only game I know that despite having shown no gameplay (officially) or price tag, it can STILL create hype only on its existence.

I don't get it. So, Vice City will be dated from its source material because Miami has a lot more buildings since GTA 6 was developed?

I read somewhere over a dozen skyscrapers were built in those 8 years.

Over a dozen? 35 skyscrapers have been completed since 2017, 90 are currently under construction.

The map as seen so far is missing several notable buildings, such the Elysse which is very notable as it's directly next to a very unique building that is currently in the map that you can see in leaked footage, it broke ground in 2018 and finished out in 2021.



Also this iconic shot from the trailer, see the clear sky? That is impossible today as in 2018 they built apartments right on top of it.

Add them in DLC?

All I can hope for is that it does not reach MindsEye-buggy territory. That will then be a serious concern down the road.

Hopefully it'll be that shit but even then, thanks to the Gigganigger gamedev trend there won't be anything else coming out at the same time so they're still likely to make a profit.

 

[Problematic User Forever]

Out of those games, Rockstar North only made GTA III, VC and SA; Rockstar London made Manhunt and Rockstar San Diego made Midnight Club 2 and Red Dead Revolver.
So yes, it was a crazy run of games all under the "Rockstar Games" banner, but just for clarification, it wasn't the same team working on all these games simultaneously, it was different Rockstar studios.

That makes it worse because all of the studios are working on this.

Also because they genuinely don't want it to get into consumer's hands. The Jews must not like what it says.

But they also can't cancel the game because the only thing jews like more than controlling people is money. Best they can do is delay it repeatedly.

I think it’s so expensive (probably remade at least 2-3 times like RDRII) and jeetcoded that releasing it and its online component any sooner would result in a Cyberpunkesque disaster but worse. Remember that Rockstar has had an Indian office since 2016.

Constant delays are never, ever a good sign. Something nefarious is happening.

I think a long delay between first announcement and second reveal tends to be due to dev hell issues (issues on vision and remaking vertical slices over and over again), but delays this late in the dev cycle are probably due to spaghetti code and probably the online component (i.e. RDRII’s online mode had a very tortured dev cycle and arrived later than it should have).

 

[Bunkerhousing]

the funny thing is that kind of morons are dreaming that R is rewriting the game to take out the WOKE instead of trying to fix whatever the fuck the jeets they employ are tying to do

Well, both reasons are viable.

 

[Commander X]

From what I've heard, the reason for the delay on GTAVI is because Rockstar realized some of their employees almost forgot to put in the graphics.

 

[DennisReynolds]

I'm more surprised people were actually counting down the days than I am it got delayed again. Hell, I forgot they ever gave a release date in the first place, I just assumed I'd be fucking senile before it ever came out. I love GTA/RDR as much as the next guy, but maybe I'm just used to the I'll get it when I get it approach as a PC chad. I really hope there's some truth to the rumor about it being delayed to remove woke shit and the dataminers dig up proof for YouTube grifters to kick up a shitstorm over. That would be fucking hilarious and justify delaying it another couple years in my book

 

[Frightened Rabbit]

My only hope is that Rockstar has further delays, causing them to fire all their Engineers, and replace them all with 90% AI and 10% interns, this way, GTA can finally die.

 

[Xavier Renegade Angel]

I think this will bite them in the ass. Only die-hard fans would buy a new console to play exclusively GTA 6. They will lose the fans that liked GTA for its moddability.

I bought a ps5 for it no gamestastion 5

 

[JimmyJones]

I still remember skipping school to go to the midnight release of GTAV at Best Buy with my voucher in hand. Man those days are long gone

 

[Commander X]

I hope when it is finally released it will be priced $120, because I want to see how many people will defend that, be they shills or just randos who come riding to protect the honor of AAA studios that put out bloatware.

 

[Duane Dibbley]

Kikestar are going to get their shit pushed in by a employment tribunal if even half of this is true. How could such a huge company with such expensive lawyers be so stupid?

I worked in a union place before where managers would fire staff, illegally, then just pay the court costs.
Basically it's quicker to fire someone who questions the managers, regardless of reason, then pay them out of the budget that covers court costs, one that sits with the top HQ and not the smaller plants, meaning it doesn't affect the bottom line of the factory.

That message talks about people who have worked there for 18 years, that's prime R* and a draw for new coders wanting to get into the industry at the time. Do you reckon those long-in-the-tooth employees will be happy with constant crunch, jeet-wrangling and the trannyfication of R* bro humour? Especially when they try and Unionise- which neuters the power of the managers?

They 100% got illegally fired and they'll be paid out 6-12 months wage, but they will never work there again.

Now people have to do that in the cold next year. What a disgrace.

I saw a copy of GTA V at a GameStop for $5.

 

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

Even with delays this late in the dev cycle, GTA6 is still likely going to do gangbusters - the real question is "Will it make back the budget?", considering the reported dev budget for this game reads as more than the GDP of a small country.

Honestly, I'm more interested in seeing if the game releases as a broken mess a la Cyberpunk or Minds Eye, and if that kind of release state is the punch in the dick gamers need to stop buying shit on hype. Which I know, give Rainbows...

 

[diroama]

I'm getting bored of this game already. It's been made by faggots, troons and jeets and will be garbage.

Who is going to midnight launches in 2025+? As much as I liked them they're a relic.

 

[Duane Dibbley]

Will the game even be playable for the first few days? Let's say it hits sales targets of 50 million in the opening weekend. The servers won't cope with that.
