I know he's not an insider or leaker, but he actually compiled some (more or less) legit information. And he's not making any clickbaits, he's definitely far from this GTA 6 NEWS & LEAKS clown when it comes to new GTA VI information.

I feel like GTA VI’s story might draw noticeable inspiration from the first few Fast and Furious movies (atleast I hope so ). After finally giving in to the temptation of watching all the leaked clips I feel like Jason has quite some similarities with Paul Walker. Besides that we know we’ll be able to shoot from within our vehicles with ‘bigger’ weapons and the focus on improving on cars in general (which, I know, could very well just be because Rockstar wants to “significantly improve upon previous releases”) is something that makes me think the story (or at the very least a few missions) will be inspired by some of the ‘heists’ done in the Fast saga. 
 

On top of that I think a large part of the current GTA community would really appreciate something inspired by Fast and Furious (just not the futuristic sh*t please).

You're not wrong, those are just speculations. And if they were working on a game set in the past but changed the general concept in the middle of development the real question is - how much was done in all those years? Twitter user Gaming Detective claims that the game was ready in 70%. If that's true it is hard to believe that wasted few years and a lot of time and money on a project that was entirely scrapped. Of course those are only speculations - but if that's true, they might be trying to create story expension set in the past made with the assets of early GTA VI concept.

 

Well, he's a pretty sh*tty detective if he can't discern what's fake and what's not.

 

Jason Schreier is as legit as it gets in terms of gaming industry-related reports, and he didn't say a single thing about R* scraping a 70% finished game. That'd be a huge point from a journalist's point of view when writing a report about them, which goes completely contrary to their apparent efforts to reduce crunch. You just don't throw away finished work like that when you're trying to maintain workload. In fact, he clarified in a tweet that, as far as he knew, the game was always set in the present.

I really hope for November 2024 release, 2025 just sounds painful for me.

 

If it were to release in November 2024 that would be 11 years and 2 months after GTA V on PS3, and 10 years after GTA V on PS4.

Late 2024 seems like the earliest plausible release window, so in typical R* fashion, it can easily get... delayed.

 

And if you ever feel bad about the gap, think about this

Yeah theyre useless, once fooled hundreds of 10 year olds for a gta 6 trailer but it was just some sh*tty mod they got paid to promote

 

[Lukas2580]

41% think that GTA VI won't be announced this year

I hope that they're wrong

Some dangerous claims being made out of speculation based on hearsay. Of course by the typical clickbait websites or people who cannot read. I don't even think this is worth much of a discussion but the stupid rumour mill has already been started so  

 

"Cutting content" doesn't mean an incomplete game, every game you've ever played has cut content due to production limitations or delays, including all GTA games, RDR2, etc. This doesn't mean much at all, R* has been working on GTA VI for a good while, rumoured "reboots" or not. It's been said 100 thousand times that the rumoured scope changes were most likely around removing South America bits and focusing on VC, etc. which would be just fine by me as they can do a lot with a large Vice City map, lots of new mechanics and features, a new story, etc.

 

GTA IV was gonna have an entire countryside and a developer's portfolio from back then even has the original concept. Oh no, GTA IV was cut back, bad game! /s

South Central as seen in Midnight Club: Los Angeles was supposed to be in-game at launch as well but was later included as a rather large DLC. Just thought I’d add that too

I hope we get atleast 1 single player dlc for VI instead of using it for online... 

[YNNEL]

I’m determined to play this game. Even if it means sitting in a rocking chair and carpet slippers barely being able to afford the PS15 to play it on, I will do it.

I would love for VI to be loosely based off of 2 Fast 2 Furious in the same way V is based off Heat

Yeah definitely the first few movies and not the other, they literally strained far away from street racing which is what the movies were about, Tej was a mechanic now he's some cybersecurity expert, sean was a street racer now he's some space rocket engineer who managed to get a vehicle to fly to the moon, all this superhero sh*t makes you go WTF.

Cutting portions of the game to release it later as DLC ... yeah sure. I really hope they don't do that because at the end of the day noone guarantees us this cut content then gets released at all so I rather have them delay the entire game to late 2025 or even late 2026 IF it means we get the entire, intended story content/mode and not a half-finished, rushed product where noone can say for sure that Rockstar fullfills their promise and we get further single player content in the future (remember what happened with this promised GTAV story mode content, YES). Cutting portions from GTA VI only to get it out the door by late 2024 or early 2025 sounds like the stupiest decision in my opinion and I think every one in here agrees with me.

you’re 17 now? I was 16 when I bought gta v for myself on release. all I can tell you is be thankful you’ll be young enough to truly enjoy it in all its glory, and as we get closer to release, for the love of god STAY AWAY FROM SPOILERS!!!

 

If I was 17, I would've had my account here since I was a year old

 

29, I'm already 29...

[Crateman]

I remember in 2020 predicting a 2024/25 release for consoles, 25/26 PC. People called me troll, but time put things in place.

We are in March 2023, the most that we Will get this year is a teaser.

While I definitely love the first two movies, Fast Five is a big favorite of mine as well. Sure it's one of the later movies with no real focus on racing, but that whole heist sequence was so badass and it wouldn't look outta place at all in GTA5 if R* had thought of it first. Would've been awesome to rip the vault out of the Paleto Bank and just haul ass down the Blaine County highways, smashing the police cars chasing after the crew in an epic pursuit. 

 

OR maybe it could've worked for the FIB Heist. Either way, I thought it was a good movie

Each year Rockstar push further and further VI announcement and release.

 

2019: The announcement must be this year.

2020: The announcement must be this year.

2021: The announcement must be this year.

2022: The announcement must be this year.

2023: The announcement must be this year.

 

At this pace, R* will release a crossgen title, with the next gen

2019 and 2020 were never an option

[myst7]

For years nobody got an idea to make driving more balanced and easier, especially in open world games. 

Mafia 1 have buttton to activate/deactivate city driving (it was F5 i guess and it was blocking your speed to 60 mph or so).

When you moving your character by using arrows or WASD than he's moving with normal speed but when you holding Shift and moving than he's running.

Why not using this in vehicles? arrows/WASD driving normal city/casual speed and driving, while holding Shift is pedal to the metal and accelerates to max car speed.

Maybe in GTA VI

That's a point, maybe we should sacrifice some kind of animal, a goat or chicken perhaps?

I can already imagine Jason and/or Lucia jumping out of an airplane with a car and then deploying a prachute. Though I wouldn’t want VI to go in that unrealistic. Direction I do think it could be a very cool mission. 
 

Thinking about that we already had Trevor jumping out of a cargoplane with a car and then jumping out so the move to parachute in car isn’t that far off

This guys seems to always be trying to find a reason to think that Rockstar will set a portion of the game in the 1980s.

Any concern towards the trouble the Xbox Series S is giving some game developers apparently? I've been reading a few things here and there on Twitter about it, and they mention how the Series S is a bottleneck to this current gen of gaming. That if companies want to release their games on the Series X, they must also run on the Series S.

 

I don't know much about it, but I hope this won't affect GTA VI too much, since we're all hoping for a true next gen experience. Regardless of this, I know Rockstar is the only one to still knock it out of the park, but it would suck if they too had to cut back on things due to the less powerful Series S.

If they had to I hope they have a separate Xbox series s compatibility mode instead of cutting back for all other releases.

It's not like an announcement isn't going to happen, worst case scenario we get a trailer next year. But dlc is a different story.
