My high school classmate who now works at Cockstar told me it was coning out this year just 3 months ago.

I hope it never comes out tbh.
GT-May '26 
Unsurprising.
It will be delayed again. And when it finally does release it will be a buggy unfinished mess that won't run well even on the top of the line hardware.
It's Cyberpunk 2077 all over again
With open world slop being so widespread, what even is the appeal of GTA6?
Rockstar games are not typical open world slop, focusing more on story and immersion. There's a world of difference between Sasso Creedo #5042389 and Red Dead Redemption 2

kill cops in South Florida.
for someone who has been killing cops in SoCal for 10+ years, I appreciate a change of venue.
I also am curious about what sort of novel mechanics will be in this one. last one I could take an in-game selfie with the burning body of a cop I killed.
maybe this one will let me make a little in-game cellphone video with music playing while I burn one alive on the beach and shoot an AK into the air.
some open world games are like an easel waiting for an artist to help them become a masterpiece.

Modern Vice City, I guess. Also It's technically supposed to be the finale of the modern-ish trilogy.
Also It's technically supposed to be the finale of the modern-ish trilogy.
3D trilogy (because fuck LCS and VCS apparently) and then 4-6 are the HD trilogy. Finale feels a little weird unless there's a narrative i don't know about, i thought it was just 1-2 recurring characters, not even to the extent of Phil or Catalina.
I know about the trilogy's yeah. Speaking of LCS and VCS. Fuck Rockstar for only porting the former to fucking mobile and the latter to nothing at all (because who could have guessed having Phil Collins in your game is gonna be a copyright nightmare).
I meant as in If Rockstar is going to soft reboot the GTA franchise again or is gonna keep going with the HD universe because we haven't seen Las Venturas or San Fierro yet.
they kinda stumbled into gta online last time and now they get to take that and whatever lessons they learned from rdr2's shitty online and make something even more exploitative. i wouldn't expect 7 until that falls off or there's some crazy new technology that justifies new shit, and i have no idea what/where the game would be.
Probably unfortunately. I played GTA 5 Online on my PS3 until the shut It down a few years back. Thankfully I haven't stumbled on too much micro transactions from It. I just remember some hacker giving me a million dollars lol.
Also some people in the community are making a revival GTA 5 Online but you have to have Discord to access It which sucks. Not to mention It's in It's early stages.
that reminds me there's most of a port of VC into IV's engine out there and r* tried to shut them down so they just released the whole thing standalone instead of having to have 4 and vc yourself and building it with a script.
Las venturas is what I want to see the most, but probably will have a high chance of a lack of interiors if they get to it, barring maybe one casino
but maybe we could visit these cities in 6, albeit in one mission, like with north Yankton, but who knows
Same, just for Vice City and Vice City Stories lol. I just love the vibe and how VCS basically combined the gang war mechanics from San Andreas and business mechanics from OG Vice City.
It legit feels like an improvement on the original. And fuck, the music is awesome.

I'm not surprised, since modern games are so complex and they try to jam the mechanics from 500 different games into a single game these days. I just got Horizon Forbidden West, only played the first few hours (no spoilers please), and there's a chess mini game, all kinds of different fighting mechanics, including melee combos, a weapons crafting minigame, and the side quests are what you'd expect from main quests five years ago.
Games have gotten too complicated. The modern gamer/consumer probably has some wild unrealistic expectations for GTA 6, and it's going to be near impossible to match those expectations. This is not me making some excuse for rockstar games or any of the scummy companies, but just observing where the market is going. Games are no longer what they once were. It's like if every movie was a 10 hour long trilogy, or every song a 10 minute epic. It's too much. And the industry shows no signs of changing course.
Greedy executives who think that making every AAA slop game an online battle royale survival looter shooter with a cozy life/dating sim sub plot will bring in every demo.

They're definitely going to charge $80+ at launch
what no way 
what do you mean the game with only one trailer and nothing else is delayed?
rambling here but since ps5s can be jailbroken, I wonder if it’s possible for someone to dump a pkg file (idk how to word sorry I’m bad at it) of the game so we could download it for free, unless they do some bullshit like making the game require the latest update
