GTA 6 Speculation & Discussion [Part 7] - The one with the announcement

[OREOBOREALIS]

I like the characters. They are very close to what i would have betted them to be like and was wishing something similar.

But very disappointing if its only in florida setting. Hope theres another map, either latin american or in north like carser city etc.

we gonna write the same thing a hundred times more guys?

it is one huge map bigger than GTA V and the "bloomberg leak report" said they will add more content by updates, which I think it is correct.

In one clip where one of the protagonist gets shots in an alley we can hear a music that is in V but since like 2013 or at least PS4/One release so, even like a police chatter is pulled from V but it stops before saying the localization since well it isn't los santos anymore

Placeholder stuff is to be expected until the final assets start coming in which can be as late as a year or so before release.

Since they are testing. Good chance they use lines from V to see if everything works as intended. Including chatter over the radio.

Remember that someone found hurricane generator code in RDR2 files?

GTA6 will be set in Miami, so we will have hurricane seasons.

Not a "hurricane generator" but a weather type. Considering that other GTA VI stuff was found in the RDR2 files, now it's even less farfetched.

I must be lucky to never have seen such thing

Strange that they have it so early into development then.

Well it's a part of the engine, not really a per-game thing, so... It was backported onto RDR2 PC as well, that exact same message. It's definitely a PC specific message about graphics settings, this thing is being properly done on PC now lol.

Huge false hope. If you don't buy a console you're gonna be waiting and the story is gonna be spoiled for you.

Eh i don't think that's gonna be a thing in 2024 or whenever, there is a big possibility it's gonna be a simultaneous PC release. As someone else mentioned R* even have their own ecosystem to release the game on now, so they don't need to worry about additional publisher/store cuts.

I think that is what the robbery mission may suggest. Play solo and switch between characters, or co-op it with a friend. Still think that is why they played with the Lamar/Franklin missions in the Contract update.

That's the exact vibe I got from the Short Trips. The game will obviously have a fully single player Story Mode where you'll be able to switch between both characters, but expecting coop between both, playing the entire story and open world events with a friend is not far-fetched at all.

Mhmm, a lot of stuff can even already be made but won't be put into the game until much later.

By the clips we saw, highly probable. There are already some co-op games that works with shared inventory and stuff

[kasaGG]

God I wonder what Online would be like with a hurricane.

Remember John F. Hickory from Pressing Issues in Vice City? What if he or someone like him returns and you can help him dig the Freedom River to separate Florida from the rest of the States?

Now that the “FIB” are onto a certain “hacker”, do you think they will use the same techniques as their fellow IAA buddies for interrogation?

That doesn't really shoot down any of the points I made. They do the delayed PC release on purpose. By delaying the PC release of RDR2 they were able to hold off on it being pirated by 2 years after the game released. Even more people are going to be trying to pirate GTAVI so obviously they're going to go the same route to save them millions of dollars plus milk the people who are gonna buy it a second time on PC after buying it on console.

Especially for music, they'd probably wanna get more current music. A game set in, say, 2024 but with only music from 2021 and before would be weird.

Piracy is no where near the issue it was even 10 years ago.

 

The reason(s) they seemingly delay the PC version are 1) double dipping revenue and 2) they hyper focus on the console versions first and then the PC versions.

 

However due to the service nature of GTAO and inevitably GTAO2 supporting GTAO2 console and an out of sync GTAO2 PC would be awkward.

 

I personally have a lot more hope for a day 1 PC release than I have for any prior R* release.

Piracy will not break sales, because many people buy from online.

I‘m surprised no one has mentioned something that goes in the same direction, but I see this couple/bonnie & clyde dynamic shaping up to be something like the better call saul plot.

This is what I’m thinking as well, a Breaking Bad type story. I think that the leaked gameplay suggests that maybe both characters are “on the run” and that’s why they are staying in a motel, perhaps they get involved in the cartel early on and then they regret their decision when they realize it wasn’t what they signed up for. This could also introduce rifts into Jason and Lucia’s relationship as the pressure builds, the leaked clip of them in the motel room with Lucia seeming to confront Jason made me think of a plot like this.

You do realize that the people that pirate games OFTEN and most of the time are the same that can't exactly afford a console? Releasing it after 2 years won't change the fact that people will pirate it anyway

[Emmi]

There won't be a day one PC release. What they will do is release GTA VI on PS5, XSX in late 2024 (if we are lucky) and 6 months later they will release the PC version as well as debut GTA Online 2.0.

GTA Online - against the believe of a lot of people in here and elsewhere - won't release anytime soon let alone together with GTA VI. It will be a 6 month gap or so and it will launch alongside the PC version instead.

Addiotionally, many of the clips weren't just captured on a PC, but apparently on a PC build. A lot of them have a warning about exceeing VRAM and to lower graphics settings. And that's actual game UI looking stuff, not just debug stuff. You wouldn't need that for a console because, you know, there's only a set number of graphics options.

What lol? Piracy is still a huge issue. Gotta be in huge denial to think people won't be pirating the biggest game of the decade/
