Maybe they can solve this out for adding a "Hardcore/realism mode

 

They can solve this by going back to the last save point, it doesn't have to be a Hardcore mode. It could be like RDRII where you die and appear somewhere else like it didn't happen.

classic GTA mode with the magic pocket that can carry infinite weapons?

magic pockets all the way. i don't get the appeal of being limited to only a few weapons. why does everyone want to turn GTA into a simulation of real life? what about car crashes? does anyone want to wake up in a hospital a week after the crash with missing limbs and a heavy concussion? would that be appealing? how about getting rid of the ability to save the game? you can't save in real life. saving your game doesn't break the immersion?

I want the game to be more challenging. I want something like MP3 Hardcore / Old School where you need to think before you act, use cover, be tactical, count the bullets, that kind of thing. The character taking 30 shots, falling from a building and waking up in the hospital a few hours later makes no sense. It can easily be fixed by doing something like RDRII like I said above.

that just doesn't work in a game like GTA. it would take away all the fun. when GTA games were ever realistic and why should they start now? maybe there's market for realistic open world crime games but GTA should stay true to its origins. let other franchise fill the gap. i'm strongly opposed to the idea of turning GTA games into something their not

Exactly, I was just about to write something like this. I don't understand why do people want to make GTA too realistic, the game was always about doing whatever you want, steal cars like it's nothing, shoot the whole city up, die and respawn in the nearest hospital. I wouldn't mind some kind of a hardcore mode, just as long as we have a choice to turn it on/off.

 

I also hope the core system from RDR2 doesn't appear in the next GTA, as it wouldn't fit in IMO. I liked it in RDR2, as it added a kind of survival element to the gritty and serious tone of the game, but GTA is another story. In terms of realism, I think they should focus on improving physics, graphics, sound design (these are already great in RDR2, but of course everything can be improved, mainly with the next gen hardware) and AI.  For example, I would love more weather types like severe storms, hurricanes, blizzards etc..

GTA IV a little more challenging, that's it

You can still do what you want, but with a bigger challenge and new mechanics.

GTA always followed the line for something more realistic, each game had a mechanic appealing to it, they put them all together in RDRII and I really liked the result and want something similar or even more realistic in GTA VI.

What do you prefer, Max Payne 3 / RDRII style weapon system, where you can only carry a few weapons, more realistic or classic GTA mode with the magic pocket that can carry infinite weapons?
 

I prefer a more realistic and grounded style experience like RDRII, I think GTA VI could be even more realistic and with more survival elements.

Classic GTA style all the way. Granted the VC-IV style, not like V/RDR 1 where you can switch between ALL the weapons in the game. It worked well for RDR 2 because it's a slower-paced, more RPG-ish sort of game. GTA has always been much faster in pace, completely limiting what we can access would go against core GTA gameplay.

We saw that Artist who posted a picture of Liberty City in GTAV graphics, but we never saw it. They could have ported it to GTA 6 ?

I mean every game had a piece of land or a map that was only accessible through specific missions, it's almost a feature to expect from every new Rockstar game.

Spoiler

 

GTAV, North Yankton

RDR2, Gurama

 

GTA 6, Liberty City?

Maybe our character did something in Liberty City and needed to get away?

My two Cents on the speculative release date of Gta 6 by logical thinking and from a marketing perspective or a profit maximization point:

 

I think Rockstar will release Gta 6 together with the new PS5 wich will be released in November 2020, maybe a couple of weeks or months later, the same as with V and the PS4.

 

Therefore the Announcement of Gta 6 should be 6-12 month before the release date.

 

I strongly believe that the Project Americas "Leak" is 99,9% true, because it sounds very believable. It must be something huge and new.

 

They are by defintion working on GTA 6 since 2012 or before for a fact and i tell you why.

 

Benzies explained in an interview in 2012:

 

Quote

"we don't know what GTA 6 will be, but we've got some ideas"

 

The development of a game or whatever begins in my opinion with ideas. The implementation began probably 2013. Gta 6 should be in development for 6 years now.

 

It´s almost finished. It will be released with the new Consoles. The hype will be bigger if the gap between the announcement and the release is shorter or not too long. And there will be maybe less leaks.

 

We should expect an announcement in spring/summer 2020.:)

 

HYPE!:D

No way it will be announced next year. 

Announcement in 2021 to maybe launch in 2022

I think Rockstar is kind of in the same position they were with GTA IV, we'll get an announcement sometime next year before the PS5/Xbox whatever's release, so the hype created by GTA VI can kinda boost those consoles' sales, and by the time VI comes out (1 or 2 years later) those consoles are well established in the market. I don't think it will be the very first game on those consoles, for that I think they'll do some RDR2 port, or a new smaller game (like that Table Tennis one).

Why? Explain why. It makes no sense at all, way too late.

 

You have to see it from a marketing perspective or maximization point.

 

My argument is, that they make the most profit of it, if they release it together with the new consoles.

 

The rumors of the release date of the PS5 is November 2020, which is before christmas. And it´s time for new consoles.

 

You will see that i´m right in the end, just by logical thinking.:p

Maybe.

 

But the profit would be higher, if they sale it in a bundle together with the new consoles, or not?

[deadasdisco]

My updated guess is GTA announcement next year with RDR2 as a next gen launch title

it doesn't make much sense to release a game as big as GTA 6 for a system that doesn't have an established user base. they can release something small like Table Tennis 2 as a launch title. don't get your hopes up

I am looking from a marketing perspective, GTA VI in the launch of the new consoles will only benefit Sony and Microsoft in sales. The most important sales are pre-order sales and first week sales, is when you make the most money. If rockstar waits a year after the new gen will already have a large installed base, probably 50 million consoles, releasing the game with the new consoles they will not sell a third of what they would sell with a large installed base.

Lets do some Rockstar math...

Announcement 

Trailers around 10

Screenshots around 100 

Unveil artwork 

Promo items 

Pre order sales, how can you pre order a game for a console that isn't even out yet lol?

 

The game will be extensively marketed GTA VI posters plastered all over the world TV ads internet ads you name it you will see it, some big gaming websites will get the game early to review it sometimes even a month early how the hell can Rockstar do all this in under a year?

 

What would be the best thing for GTA VI? of course next gen but this is Rockstar Games we are talking about PS4 as sold over 100 million units so you do the math...not only that not everyone is that well off to go out and buy a new console

Millions of people will buy the new consoles. The specifications of the new consoles are SSD, 8k and ray-tracing.

The release of the pc version will be later. Maybe 2021/22. It´s all about the profit. They are making a good deal with Sony, is my guess.:)

If you compare Rockstar releases with new console releases their games always come out at least a year later

That's the point, millions WILL buy the new consoles. There won't be a a user base of millions at launch.

This. I have a feeling that if the next gta is set in Vice City and Cuba, then story main theme is probably smuggling, just like heists in gta V. Maybe more emotional story, IAA blackmailing protagonist etc etc

Were sold 5 million PS4 in 1 month, PS5 will not exceed 8 million in 1 month, if they launch VI a year later they will probably have about 30 to 40 million consoles to sell the game.

Even if there are 10 million preorders for each console, the total number of units sold will dramatically increase over the first years.

[YNNEL]

If we assume this game has been in development for 6 years or so, I guess it is possible that they are way ahead of schedule and are certain there are going to be no delays. And maybe that could explain why its

not been announced yet and are planning on announcing it alongside the official PS5 reveal?

But it make no difference if they sell it in a bundle with the new consoles or one year later in this context, but they will probably sell more in a bundle Nov 2020.

 

Keep in mind that President Trump will still be the chief in the White House and people will earn more money than ever before, it makes perfect sense for me.

Yes. That makes perfect sense. It will be something connected to the new consoles, thats for sure. Soon!:) Spring or Summer 2020.

RDRII took over 8 years, GTA VI is definitely going to be a much bigger game, so for me 2022 makes more sense
