GTA once was great as sublime satire with a blend of all kinds of cultural references coincided with the technical ability to make an immersive world.
Nowadays it edges towards saints row, with the latter bring more creative

It'll only take a few minutes
Then your ship fails to launch and you need to do emergency repairs and when you come back to Earth the only version of GTA6 you can play is a shitty remaster.
This makes me curious. There have to be sci fi stories out there where instead of cryostasis, people are just moved really fast or put in high gravity environments to make time move slower for them
That's a major part in the Ender's Game series. They have faster than light communication, but the ships travel at like 90% the speed of light. So when traveling between planets, it's like a two week trip to the people traveling, but 20 years on planet.
The main character Ender travels often, so he is only 35 in the second book, a couple thousand years after the first book.
Oh true! I haven’t read Ender’s Game in years, and I only read the first book. Thanks for the reminder I should re-read.
But I’m also specifically curious about sci fi franchises where the slowdown of time is intentional as a way to preserve people, it sounds like a cool premise, and with the mountain of sci fi material I imagine it’s probably been done somewhere
That sounds like a really cool idea for a movie or a book.
....what are your expectation for GTA 6? Mine are pretty low considering shark cards and enshittification
I expect them to have that shit not just in the online aspect but the single player as well. Which also means you can't play if you're not connected.
They canceled the GTA V story DLC after seeing the success of GTA Online, and their long-time head writer and producer resigned. I have little faith that GTA6 will capture the same spark that their earlier games had.
Mine are hopeful. I expect GTA Online to still be shit, but I hope that the main story is good. Considering it's rockstar, then it should be a pretty proper game story wise. But we'll just have to wait and see.
Right? This is where I'm at.
GTA San Andreas was peak GTA for me.
Not vice city? Wow, OK...
Oh yes. When next gta came out I couldn’t understand why they made it so dumbed down compared to SA
I liked the over simplification for one iteration. It started to get daunting to run through everything
you’d likely need to go somewhere a bit more extreme to wait for silksong
Then they all die, because of old age.
Do you mean the astronauts on the ocean planet? No. They are experiencing time correctly, they won't die of old age until much later than earth.
Gravity does weird shit to time.
I think they're joking that even with the accelerated passage of time on earth relative to them they would still die of old age before GTA VI releases
So... If I'm understanding that right, and I die on this planet of old age (not the giant planet wide tidal wave) given the current life expectancy of men, we're looking at 40 years or about 350k hours. So 2,450,000 years would have passed on Earth.
Yeah sounds about right.
Then there's Star Citizen... Eternity isn't that long, is it?
That piece of crap will never be released. They make more than enough already.
Is there a goal-post tracker? Like, xyz feature added to release plan, +5k man hours
If there is they surely must have moved that goalpost several times.
Fun place to remind everyone that the elder scrolls six teaser video is over 6 years old now too.
Still the same stinky Bethesda engine I bet. Same stinky bugs, just like starfield.
They had to poop out starfield first
Doesn't give one much hope for a new Elder Scrolls, does it
Nope. I'm expecting Skyrim with better graphics on the same ancient engine. I'm sure it will be fine, but Bethesda no longer makes genre-defining games.
And the same ancient animations and the same ancient loading screens :/
"According to my calculations, we'll just have to wait here, oh... about six years."
GTA6 release confirmed for the year 368944
I'll join you on that planet and wait for HL:3
CONFIRMED
