Bloomberg: Grand Theft Auto 6 to be announced UPDATE: Rockstar confirms trailer for next month!

Wow, it might finally happen lol… over 10 years since the last one.. longest wait ever..

UPDATE:

Going to be the biggest game ever.

PC scrubs will have to wait though, they need to concentrate on a PS5 and then a PS6 version first.

Meh.

Microtransaction land incoming.

weirdly i had a dream about gta vi the other night. it was very good. so if it does turn out to be very good, remember you heard it here first

Ohhhh SHIT! I'm ready! And been ready for a decade now

My Series X is ready!

GTA4 was bad. GTA5 looks bad. No interest in 6.

I'm not sure the gaming industry can handle a game like this having the disastrous launch we know is likely to occur. Game will probably be great years down the road, but that launch window in today's gaming climate will be brutal for a game as ambitious as gta6 is likely to be.

Gta5 was waaaaaaaaay better than Gta4. Gta4 was not very good.

@TheEroica: Damn, I love 4. My favorite setting and main character.

i loved iv when it first dropped. after the first act i thought san andreas fell off a cliff. story stretched wafer thin and it became a jack of all trades master of none glorified driving game.

the more serious tone of iv was a welcome change initially. but then as time went on the lack of character development really hurt it. you were never anything but an errand boy working for increasingly senior members of the underground.

v finally got the balance between serious and sandbox right and felt like the best evolutionary path for the series. hope vi doesn't go too rdr2 and become more life simulator than video game

We've heard this song and dance before. In other words, it's not happening. At least not on those time frames.

GamePass, day one launch or bust!! ;o

Make it happen MS even if you need to buy R*. lol :P

Since we're set on believing GTA rumors, this is what we know about the new map

It’s confirmed!

PS5 exclusive

@R4gn4r0k: Ugggh.

Can you imagine the graphics/demands though.

Consider how good modded GTA 5 looks for being a PS3 title or how some (ridiculously) think RDR2 still has the best graphics.

Could blow Cyberpunk way out of the water.

Only runs on the PS5 slim because of the power of those wobbly feet.

What kind of graphics are you expecting here? Honest question?

If they go for the ultra realism approach we could see a 30fps release.

I stopped buying R* games at launch as I damn well know there is a PC version in the end.

I waited for RDR2 for two years and when it came as a Epic exclusive I though to myself: eh, I can wait a while longer.

A month later it was on steam and it was already -20% off.

Hard for that not to be a day f'n one...awwwww yeahhh

Will you be getting it on Playstation or Xbox?

Probably PS. might as well keep the series going on the same platform. Although I did play RD2 on X-One!

@R4gn4r0k:

I absolutely want them to bring the PS5 and XSX to their absolute knees with barely 30 fps. (those on console don't seem to mind anyway, just look at how all the xbox users gobbled up 30 fps Starfield and claim its fine)

Then we get DLSS3.5 Quality and FG so that a 4090 can run it path traced at 60 fps or ray traced at 100+ fps in 4K.

A 4080 should get similar path tracing and ray tracing performance as the 4090 but in Performance instead of Quality.

A 4070Ti should get similar path tracing and ray tracing performance as the 4090 but in 1440p instead of 4K.

A 5090 should be able to run max settings (PT), with same FPS as a 4090 runs max settings (RT). The 5090 will probably be available by the time its out anyway. So around 60-75 fps for the 4090 completely maxed vs 90-120 for the 5090.

What I expect is CP2077 level minus the low quality / blurry assets and textures.

Alan Wake 2 level of graphics and detail but in a huge open world with npcs.

Maybe something like the Matrix demo?

Has the thought crossed your mind that maybe you would get it on Xbox?

Sure. I'm doing my best to resist tho :P So far this Gen I have only gotten a PS5 and I waited a year after launch to get it. So many games to play, not enough time!

What about Steam Deck?

Oh hell yeah! About damn time. Loved both IV and V so definitely hyped for VI.

I still never played 4. I heard a remake/remaster was coming fall of 2023. Anyone heard any more info about that? I was holding off for that.

Hope it's on Game Pass, not because I'm so cheap I wouldn't pay for it otherwise, I'd just love to see Sony fanboys go utterly bonkers.

@lamprey263: no way in hell MS can pull that off but if it happened all hell would break loose. It’d be one for the ages.

Games that sell really well don’t need GamePass lol

Kinda surprised Rockstars didn't consider revealing the trailer at the VGA. The guy who interrupted Geoff this year would have made a 2nd attempt asking GTA6 trailer just for the hell of it:

Story wise, sure. It had compelling characters.... The game played like nyquil though.

@SolidGame_basic: "Games that sell really well don’t need GamePass lol"

That's not the point, it would gaslight Sony fanboys, who are all recognized by everyone but themselves as obnoxiously entitled and explosively over-reactionary, thus, the real value of such a deal would be the ensuing shitshow to follow.

Wonder what the release date will be. 2026?

Lol, what about all that talk about Sony acquiring Rockstar? That would surely embroil Lems 🤩

Meh, GTA has always sucked for me.

Need Peter Moore to reveal a GTA VI tattoo. 😅

@SolidGame_basic: "Lol, what about all that talk about Sony acquiring Rockstar? That would surely embroil Lems 🤩"

That talk is manifesting itself in a vacuum of poor messaging from SIE to consumers, in a vacuum where the only objectively verifiable information is doom and gloom for the Sony fanbase. These dead end 4chan rumors have been going on for years, along with Bloodborne's 4K/60fps PS5 update that's never happened, and Abandoned secretly being a DiVinci Code rationaled plot by Kojima to make a Silent Hill game. It's just a circle-jerk of wishes by Sony fans that PlayStation has a response to the ABK acquisition. Sony had their response, it was Bungie, and it's already been more trouble for them than it was worth, further reason corporate would never agree to such a sizeable acquisition.

Such beliefs just illustrate the desperation of the die-hards to grasp at straws to hold out hope, even though they're now sweating Sony's lack of 2024 line-up, no future events planned, they're already worried Silent Hill 2 is DOA over Pyramid Head origin story. Sony Twitter and YouTube shills are now discussing giving up gaming should Xbox become a stronger market force.

But such a move isn't even fiscally feasible, corporate Sony wouldn't risk letting SIE put the financial stability of the rest of the company in jeopardy, not over a gambit. Especially after the $3.6B Bungie acquisition hasn't done what they wanted and they're having to thin the ranks all around while everyone is bogged down trying to create the next Fortnite. Buying time exclusivity is far more plausible, but just that, plausible, but not cheap. More likely, Sony makes a marketing deal, i.e. paying a hefty ransom which keeps it off Game Pass for a set duration, but it's still a multiplatform game.

Behind the scenes, no doubt there's a bidding war, Xbox throwing out numbers of how much they'll pay to have it on Game Pass, PlayStation throwing out a number to keep it off Game Pass. Who blinks first I wonder 🤔

I was wrong.

They better not F**k with PC gamers again like they did with GTA V. It was very annoying that they ported GTA V on PC two years after the consoles so I hope they will release it on all platforms on day one this time!

I can tell this is gonna be a masterpiece people still use RDR:2 as demonstration for graphic cards and such matters, Imagine how crazy GTA6 is gonna look. Can't wait for the gameplay and story.

Cool but where's the 60fps update for RDR2?

Yawn.

Look I'm sure it will be fun, but honestly it's too little too late for me.

I'll play it, but not hyping it.

For real.

The emphasis on multiplayer in the last game really sort of killed it for me.

It won't matter as reviewers will help hide it like they did with the original release of GTA5 back on the 360/PS3 where the MP was completely broken, reviewers just reviewed the SP giving it 9's & 10's and not once even mentioned the MP or waited to review it once the MP was released.

Microsoft is said to be vocal on social media regarding this announcement. Some are reading into this that, at the very least, Microsoft will have some kind of marketing deal in this. Looking like another L for PS5.

There's further rumors the MS marketing deal will be used by Take-Two acquire an Eastern publisher. They don't say this next part explicitly, but I have to consider if there's any truth there, a mere marketing deal wouldn't be enough to cover a publisher buyout, but a day one Game Pass deal would. But again, rumors. We'll need to wait and see.

@lamprey263: It's not coming to GP, well not in the first 2-3yrs anyway.
