this has some good clips of the "weird part" of the 80s, movies, music and adsΒ :kekw::cringekek:Β Β 


I like the "newretrowave" stuff, the new type of music is nice and all but that's not 80s, it is modern, it kinda exaggerates it at times, it's what makes people think that the 80s is overused and such.

I wouldn’t mind that honestly. It’s not something I had even considered before but it’s not a bad idea. I know some will argue the practicality of it

Many in this topic is people complaining how they don't want an 80s setting, in an 80s topic. "i'm glad they didn't go back" It's like complaining in the main topic about the opposite thing.

Β 

The current one as long as it isn't too similar to V it will be great, for example the people act the same or even worse than 2013 so I don't expect much of a change with pedestrians. The club scene from one of the leaked footage was that typical "hood" talk of today.Β :cringekek:Β It is modern setting so it makes sense anyway.

People change through the years, they talk different, they behave different. 1980s and 2020s people act completely different.

Not just how they look.

Β 

AlsoΒ modern day we've seen it a million times now got too tired of it. I can enjoy it but I find different time periods more interesting for story mode.

I actually have an issue with that club scene. Rockstar shouldn't even be working on stuff like that so far ahead of release and should only work on stuff that isn't at risk of becoming outdated, if they're not even close to release.

Β 

What's going to happen if some aspects of pop culture change from some of that stuff and they cannot get the game out until 2025?

Β 

Rerecording lines will be a damn headache and swapping out music from 2020-21, as that's probably when many of those leaked scenes were recorded ahead of testing. You can't pretend 2020/21 pop culture will be a match for 2024-25 and this is where an 80s setting is less of a risk to execute, on a protracted development timeline.

Β 

With an '80s setting, you don't need to worry about portraying today's pop culture (2024-25), using yesterday's (2020) resources (script/recordings). This could blow up in their faces on that front, even if the game is great.

Β 

Generic gameplay should have been the focus and then save all that time sensitive stuff (pop culture), for closer to release so that the music and cultural references are current/relevant.

Β 

Portraying the future (2025), is a tricky ass gamble compared to portaying the past in a detailed, high quality video game.

Β 

This is why many artists make demos as early as one or 2 years ahead, but wait until a few months before release, to produce the tracks for a new record.

Some guy: 80s are overused

Me: Ok, name one really immersive modern open world game set in the 80s

I think it might be because multiple movies and TV series in the past few years have been set in the 1980s or have been surfing on the 80s nostalgia. Some games recently have also done the same thing but to a lesser degree than movies. That might be why some people are complain about the 80s being overused. But I am just assuming here, so don't take my words as solid facts.

The third Bad Boys movie set in modern Miami has a great vibe

In terms of that yeah maybe it's not but overall another time setting is difficult to get right, not many of the developers lived in that time also I assume, they will have to sit and watch movies, analyze actual recordings of Miami then, interviews and all that. Accurate portrayal of past years isn't easy to get right, one scene for example out of like 60 in-game might get "too modern". But if it's rockstar I am sure they are capable with research, again not that difficult, everything about the setting is already there.
