Wait, this is actually, finally real?
With PC probably 2026 or 2027. No way I’m going on the hypetrain this early.
I almost forgot that delayed PC releases are a thing with Rockstar Games.
I feel like they would be insane to miss the PC streamer market for their online play that they will 100% be making all their cash from.
Cool, so they went from a 5yr release schedule to a 12yr one.
Goes to show how much money they made with lousy “remasters” and GTA Online. The only proper new game they released in between was RDR 2.
Which was 5 years ago.
There was an article on here a little while ago that said games are getting so massive that a 10 - 12 year development cycle is not only unexpected, but should become the norm soon
I’m fine with that. My backlog is so large, I’m definitely going to die before getting through it.

Don’t call it that, man! games are an escape, a leisure activity. Not some work assignment you need to compulsively finish. It’s OK if you don’t play everything there is. 🙂
Lol I know it sounds like I’m treating it like a job, but it’s more like wanting to travel the world but knowing I’m not going to have time in my life to see everything (which is both a metaphor, and also a thing I would actually like to do that competes for time lol).
We have to prioritize some experiences in life over other experiences we also want to have, and that’s just how it is. So if they could just stop making new things for a while, that would really make my job easier 😝.
As real as it gets, coming from Rockstar’s official YouTube channel.
The graphics look amazing as they did with RDR2, but unless there’s something truly innovative about the open world’s gameplay (like for example persistent, story unessential NPCs or a more dynamic relationship between the player and police) I don’t see a reason to be hyped about this game.
I’m hyped because Rockstar has a solid track record (* for new releases).
They do, although their additions up until now have been about more content: more vehicles, more space, more detail, more activities, more granularity
I want to know what’s specifically going to be better or more interesting. I’m honestly happy replaying RDR and GTA V or finally finishing GTA IV and RDR2 because those are all fantastic games.
Not to mention there seems to be a not insubstantial amount of reused assets from all of those additions.
Sure, but asset reuse is not about laziness. It’s about prioritizing. If it ain’t broke, don’t waste your time fixing it.
True. It’s just after all this time between releases, I don’t know, I was just expecting better. For anyone who has been foaming at the mouth over Online, this one’s been a decade in the making. Or however long since they decided to not bother with singleplayer content additions.
Everyone playing the newest Call of Duty has been foaming at the mouth for something new as well. Buying the newest game is not going to manifest something new. In fact, quite the opposite. If more of the same generates them more money with less cost, they will 100% do that.
“Standing on the shoulders of giants” is a saying in science. We build on the work that came before.
Same with Rockstar. Go back and play GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas.
You really feel how these were built on the same engine/platform and how each game kinda just feels like the game they made while making the other game. If you look at the timelines San Andreas came quickly after Vice City (by modern standards at least). Imagine if they didn’t upgrade and reuse assets? If everything was to be built from scratch.
True but those games came out at a time when they were releasing a game every year or so and there were often still reworks to most of the assets they reused. This is a game that’s coming after a decade of money grubbing. They aren’t a plucky little upstart anymore.
So therefore they should model everything anew again?
Looks very good actually but 2025…I wont have any hair left.
GTA V came out when I wasn’t even in secondary school yet and now GTA VI is supposed to release when I should have a degree.
Doesn’t sound like you’re doing too well at the moment then 😅
Looks ok as teasers go
The change in the mood of the room from starting the trailer to the ‘2025’ announcement was like skydiving without a parachute.
