Will Next GTA FINALLY Have Gore?

[ShadyCreeksKiller]

I was extremely disappointed in R* for reducing the level of gore from Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3 to GTA V.

 

I understand that R* is afraid of jeopardizing potential sales internationally by making particularly gruesome content (like Manhunt 2), but they shouldn’t shy away from bringing extreme gore to games set in the 21st century.

[El Penguin Bobo]

RDR and MP3 had pretty good gore in my opinion. GTA V was meh. Seeing that RDR 2 had pretty awesome gore, (you can blow off limbs in that game), I'm pretty sure GTA 6 will have that as well.

[ShadyCreeksKiller]

RDR and MP3 did have good gore, and they took it away when developing GTA V.

 

What’s stopping them from doing that again when making GTA VI?

[VictorVance1239]

Blame the parents for buying the game for their underage children. This is why we can't have nice things.

In gameplay you can feel free to aim your weapon, including a bazooka, to any person. Was Trevor not stomping on a man's head and showing the leftovers on his boot not enough? Or the torture scene?

Cutscenes and scripted content doesn’t count. If I’m playing a game from one of the most successful franchises in history, and it’s rated M, and it’s literally about crime, and your character is always carrying an arsenal of weapons, and you can kill just about anyone in the game, I should see a head explode, not some red marks on their skin.

Hopefully, they did it better than I expected in rdr2

 

i think were past the point where it would be considered too edgy for gta

[Hikikomori-Yume]

No.

Gore is too problematic and would insult my delicate leftist sensibilities.

[Lioshenka]

GTA 3 was badass. Blood everywhere. ability to shoot off limbs and fountains of blood coming from the neck.

[Journey_95]

We can only hope, RDR2 delivered here but GTA may be softer again because it's more mainstream

I hope so. Being able to RPG someone and see chunks fall off of them realistically would be f*cking badass. Plus imagine realistic headshots with high caliber weapons.. like when I snipe someone's head with a .50 cal I expect for a head explosions, or at the least a hole straight through their head.

ShadyCreeksKiller makes a point, the game has always been rated M (18+) and a little more gore would be welcome. Remember GTA SA? You could pop someone's head off.

I still miss the gore from GTA3. You could shoot peoples heads off and/or their arms off and watch them limp around before dying. If a car blew up next to a pedestrian, all of their limbs blew off and their body was just the torso laying on the ground.

As time went on the gore in the series seemed to get less gruesome despite having new tools to use.

To be honest I'm surprised by the level of gore even in Red Dead Redemption 2, but I think the GTA series would have much harder time getting to that level because of its mainstream status as Journey95 said and all the sh*t surrounding school/mass shootings would play a big role.

 

The 3D era's level of gore was always more comical to me and it wasn't until Manhunt that R* started getting more serious. Personally I would love to see what's in Red Dead Redemption 2, but given the current political climate I wouldn't be holding my breath. 

[beardedninja16]

Yes gore in GTA games make is more life like if you kill a guy and there is no blood is not really immersive.

SA is when they actually started toning down gore. I notice in rdr2 there is no player gun wounds for some reason...

[Thejeffster]

Honestly I wouldn't mind bring back gore into the series, it would make it wayy more realistic in most cases. Granted it would probably more gruesome due to graphics being better than GTA:SA or GTA III.

[FoxSites]

I don’t see the point of toning down gore ingame and then having gore in cutscenes, I’m conflicted on weather it will be in the next game or not becuase of the mainstream appeal of gta and you don’t see gore in cutscenes very often.

[Hmmm nice bike]

I get the arguments about GTA being too mainstream to have RDR2-style gore, but at the end of the day, it's a game meant for adults. And they only want to keep making certain things more detailed and realistic, so more detailed gore during gameplay is a pretty logical visual addition.

 

Also, considering how the worst "controversy" that GTA V had was the buzz about a torture mission (and not about the usual "killing cops and hookers" complaints that were around in the early-mid 2000s), I'd like to think that the parental craze about GTA has waned at least a little bit. Fortnite is people's new concern, simply because of how addicted their kids are getting to it.

Yeah the media really doesn't care as much about games anymore. Spiderman PS4 got away with showing a terrorist attack in NYC.

And nobody gave a sh*t when V featured a Mark Zuckerberg parody getting his head blown off on live TV, something that probably would have been talked about loads on TV and online if the media acted the same way about games in the last few years as they did in the 2000s.

[universetwisters]

I feel like with all the sh*t GTA does to warrant an M rating, adding actual gore would make it 18+. 

[Lotte]

I'm going to guess the reason that GTA V isn't as gory as RDR2 is because one was originally built to run on the 360 and PS3 and ported later, and the other one was built to run on new generation consoles from the get go

 

 

[GTK0HLK]

1. to the one who mentioned A side.., stop.., the other side is just as slimy and thinned skinned..,(if not more)[even if joking]

 

2. Manhunt unfortunately is at a point where it's controls get in the way to new players.., reminds me that there was a thread if such content or missions where to be made or etc.., since lots of people appreciated the masks that where given in Online..,

 

3. I would really like if they did some work on that..,

it would also give reason to improve animations and other things people want on the combat weaponry side of melee..,

[GTA/O obviously won't be come the next game that has fame built on excessive gore, but at least should have a decent and well done for it's specs. Close -enough it- can to being real enough, and not get excessive and gaudy for a GTA]

 

4. the way it was done in RDR2/O made the improvements in melee combat much more fun..,

and creates moments that at times would seem out of the normal and ordinary..,

I feel like with all the stuff Wolfenstein 2 got away with in 2017, GTA6 could probably get away with a little more gore.

[bigeggplant]

If GTA 6 adds gore, I doubt it will be much unless it's added to some zombie apocalypse mode or something. I don't see a big demand fore gore in general, it's more of a niche attraction for weirdos.
