60? I wouldn’t be surprised if Rockstar uses this to start up $/£80 games…

How about a 1:1 simulation of 72% of Argentina, lukewarm fusion and your hamster is undead? Mummy in the standard version, lich king in the deluxe.

GTA IV had the radio crackle right before receiving a phone call just like how GSM radio interference worked at the time.

GTA V had in the middle of a restricted part of the map a drain overflow which has runoff to a floor light that was shorting out as a result.

Rockstar's commitment to detail in their open worlds is unlike anything else, and they can never release any DLC again or support a title after launch at all and turn it into a vessel for funneling to their online money maker all day long and I'll still eagerly await whatever morsels of that single player vessel I can get my hands on.

My thoughts exactly. However, it excites me that Rockstar still managed to make RDR2, and it was a masterpiece. Even so, I never played "Online" MP mode, nor have I ever played GTA's, and I hope they noticed, lol.

Yeah I have no hype considering what they did with gta online pay walling all but a few of the cars

Oh my god it's going to have so many microtransactions it's going to be awesome. Not.

Or their VR game

The massive hype and popularity means everyone and their mother will buy it day 1 even if it ends up being trash. They don't need to keep you happy, just to buy the game

I'm not really excited because I felt like V basically took all of the fun detail out of the story and main world and saved it all for online.

The missions and world in V had so little charm and so little of the detail that made IV and previous so amazing. The world was massive but felt totally empty.

But I know they made a bunch of money with online so I'm sure that's how it's gonna be again this time.

Honestly, I don't think you're alone in not being excited. I feel the same about this one.

Personally it has more to do with the infection of MBAs into AAA game dev space than the old guard retiring.

No, I think that's fair. I miss being excited about new games, but the disappointment usually hits quick and hard if I ever allow myself to. Between rampant AAA shittification that's accelerated recently, and the fact that a lot of AAA wasn't all that good in the first place, it's hard to really build up any enthusiasm.

Looking at Rockstar/Take-Two's behavior in specific, since GTAV at the very latest, it's even harder to be optimistic. I bet they'll even find a way to cram shart cards into single-player, the fuckers.

At least it's rumored they got the FiveM guys to do the multiplayer, so maybe it'll be less abjectly, pathetically, monstrously shitty than GTAO. I assume they'll still find some way to ruin it, though.

Now, if it turns out it's great, I'd be ecstatic. I'm not buying this one anywhere near release but if it seems like a drastically better deal than I'm expecting, I'll be very, very surprised - and I'd like a game to surprise me pleasantly for once.

Also available on whatever terribly named console Microsoft comes up with next.

They keep saying next grand theft auto game. I guess we won’t gonna learn it until first trailer.

I think it should be called Grand Theft Auto: Vice

I don't think they've ever officially said GTA VI

There's no way they're launching this game in January. Start telling yourself now that it's not coming out until fall 2025, that way anything sooner seems like a bonus.

Hopefully they just make GTA Online it's own separate standalone game so then maybe they'll actually add content for a single player game after release for the first time in nearly 20 years and not just keep shitting out new microtransactions.
