I honestly think there's still nothing more organised than a forum for this type of discussion. Even Reddit isn't quite the same thing and quite a lot of people still prefer this format - real-time social media and chats like Discord also aren't quite the same thing as organised topical and sectioned discussion! I just see Discord as IRC back then, a lot of people chilled on IRC channels but forums were where it's at for a lot of people.

Quite a few big forums are still up too!

 

Also, re: GTA manuals, you can see us peeking around the middle of this GTA Warehouse (another fansite at the time) history page in the GTA VC website (gtavice.com), GTA III PC manual, GTA SA website and manual (already as GTANet)! The days of "webrings"

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not to mention, the GTAOnline Subreddit and Discord are swarmed with the younger generations playing GTAO. Conversations are meme-y, can get toxic, and generally very low on the braincell count most of the time.

 

These forums have been the most civilized place to discuss the GTA series, and are almost an anomaly in comparison to the other places as well as the ingame community. The contrast continues to shock me often, with how vastly different the atmosphere feels here compared to the aforementioned places. (These forums are great)

State of Georgia has important locations? Never saw it in films and such. If they expand the map north then it will have it though most likely. They could just mix states.. Like.. Georgia together with Alabama / Mississippi or South Carolina? So they keep most important locations from all.

 

Atlanta and Savannah are the two largest cities there..from what Google Earth shows me.

The airport of Atlanta is the busiest in the world?

Rockstar trying to "invite" us for 10th year to Los Santos

 

 

We are Niko, Roman is Rockstar.

Literally - every DLC announcement feels like an absolute piss-take.

Atlanta would be great, since the presence of increased crime in the city, would fit GTA

Some people really want Google street view simulator

At this point it would be probably easier for Rockstar to have google street view simulator type of map rather than make their own world, that will meet players expectations. Creating those worlds have become insanely undertaking task.

[tsto]

The more I think about how much Rockstar has learned over the last several years with GTAO, the more I realize how much potential they could have with GTA 6 & Online 2.0. Thinking about it in this manner makes me feel like, knowing how detail-oriented they tend to get with new projects, that it will take a really long time to get the game to where they want it to be. I hope I'm wrong and we're not too far off from a trailer or more indepth details about the game. Going prone.. that alone is already going to be a major game changer. Not carrying ~25 weapons in your weapon wheel anymore probably, and actually having the few weapons you got on you show on your body is gonna be awesome like in RDR2. I crave this immersive realism in a modern setting so much. I would be totally cool with a compromise for heavy weaponry, such that if you wanted to carry a grenade launcher you could but it would take up a main weapon/rifle slot, so you'd be compromising yourself as far as the subtler weaponry, carrying a pistol, maybe a micro-SMG and the launcher.

 

Edit: Going further about this, I think it would be cool if we could store the rest of our weaponry in our safehouses and then choose to deposit a few into our personal vehicle's trunk. So when you're out in the world and you need a different weapon for the task at hand, if your PV is nearby you can go to your trunk, unlock it and switch out weapons. Sort of like switching your weapons from your horse's saddle in RDR2. I think this would make the most sense for this game and would add excellent immersion for not too much effort coding wise.

Luckily for us, Rockstar started working on GTA VI before the release of current-gen. Soooooo.. I guess we might get it towards the butt end of the cycle again?!

Those development companies have no one but only themselves to blame. It's already 2023, they got PS5 devkits years ago and that's when they should start to work on those projects.

If it's trimmed down to a few small towns and highways I was looking on Google Maps at Miami South Beach the length looks 1000x longer than GTA Vice City

that's correct what he said though, games take longer to make now, we noticed. More details, more realistic, more content and all that.

Especially if it's open world.

people should realize it and the companies too of course so they can expand their teams, which they do.

That's not the point of that post. Any big company that's starting full development was absolutely busy on another project that most likely came out just a few months ago, exactly how R* started full development of VI only after RDR2 came out.

Honestly, that doesn't look so bad.  I drove diagonally through Oklahoma once and that was MISERABLE. Just flat and empty, with one McDonald's situated in a bridge over the highway to keep you from going fully insane.

I'm not talking about full development, I was thinking rather about those early stages - prototyping and so on. You don't need hundreds of employees for this.

You can rest assured that most companies do pre-production on future titles when their current one is in full production, and Rockstar ain't any different (their next project after VI is 100% in pre-production now, one way or another). Otherwise, the gap between subsequent releases would increase from ~5 years to maybe 8-9 years.

Then rockstar need to focus only at making GTAs, for their sake.

Atlanta was my childhood home. Awesome place, huge drug trafficking, huge hip hop and stripclub scene. We’ve seen it in 2(ish) rockstar games before. Midnight club 3, and manhunt 2 (cottonmouth)

Well, they're actually supporting GTA though, aren't they, for the last 9 years? That GTA happens to be GTA Online.

I don't think GTAO is going anywhere, and for that exact reason, there's no point in making back-to-back GTAs anytime soon. With potential map expansions and large content updates, they can spend another 8-9+ years, if not more, without making another brand-new GTA again.

I'm not a game developer so I'm not the right person to enlighten anyone but still, there are plenty of videos from various game devs and even interviews with R* higher ups on how those things work. At the same time you don't need to be game developer to notice, that something is very wrong with this industry. Many games have become open world games but there's really no reason for this from creative standpoint. If small studio like Asobo can make game within 3,5 years and that's during pandemic, so can Rockstar and many other game developers, the only problem is scope of the project. Heck, GTA IV was made in 3,5 to 4 years and that's with a literally all brand new tech, that of course had to be researched during that time by devs.

If the updates are going to be a huge improvement from GTAV then I don’t mind. But if it’s the same scale, I don’t know what to say.
