News & Gossip VII: For Blood and Headlines

it looks like they’re doing a vibe check so they can see what people are saying on twitter first before committing to anything too hard

the tom petty track is a good song but feels like… hilariously inappropriate for a game set in contemporary miami

would be great for a GTA game set in the san fernando valley in the 80s tho

I laughed so hard at all the like contemporary party footage with a fucking tom petty song like florida music is blowing up and you guys couldnt find anything for your game set in miami…? Also it’s kinda amazing how much better the early gta 4 trailers were at both communicating what the game is actually like and being cool

they don’t want to actually commit to anything when they need the game to run for 15+ years

If the previous trailers for their previous games are any indication then this is an accurate portrayal of what the game will actually look like, graphics-wise, when it releases. Pretty impressive. Some of these shots look way better than even RDR 2. And if the information from last year’s mega leak proves accurate it will have just as much, if not more, emphasis on NPC interaction and general simulationist game systems as RDR2.

I’d say a year or two is too long a wait but I’m old enough now that a year flys by like nothing. It’ll be the end of next year before you know and they’ll be dropping trailer 3 a week early and everyone will be speculating on if it’s coming out on spring or summer.

I don’t think this is co-op is it? surely that would of leaked. That dialogue was pretty generic, could of been a sony game. no sarcastic asshole protagonist opining on the state of the world, you can already feel the dan houser absence. wish I could find that michael mann quote about modern day miami being a place he’s not interested in at all

Can you even still be a bank robber in 2025? Obviously people still rob banks but how many of them actually get away with it? Paging Cuba…

I dont know what consoles gta 6 will run on, but gta 7 will run on sticks and stones

the setting is imo way more fun than anything they’ve done since like San Andreas (I know I was supposed to have liked 4 but I didn’t really and I think it was mostly a generational thing) so I’m reasonably chuffed

it feels trashy and semi suburban which I like because their version of cities never scans to me

when the trailer leaked on twitter it had a “buy bitcoin” overlay which caused the price to spike

Giuliani’s Labyrinth is at the intersection of Pentiment and GTA6. I have my finger on the pulse of game design

GTAVI takes place in alt universe where tom petty is a major cultural touchstone among the multicultural youth of Miami

i will never pay for or play through the story mode of a GTA game but every single new one will always be the best “get high and pass around the controller” game that currently exists. so looking forward to playing this one in that context! you can maybe play a lady criminal, it vaguely seems!! maybe it wont absolutely hate women as much as the past ones have lolol

hoping this GTA doesn’t have a vehicle with a homophobic slur in the name

this is truly the only context to play these games in, imo. GTA games have come a long way over the years but so many of them suffer from awful mission bloat with dogshit writing but all that fades away when you ignore all of that, add a few friends (add a few grams) and do “play until you die” sessions until everyone is laughing and coughing
