This is what I’ve told coworkers when this game comes up. I believe Rockstar themselves only referred to it as a single player experience.

Seeing how much they pivoted to multiplayer monetization in 5 post-release, I expect 6 will have barely any campaign with a roblox-like predatory multiplayer.

This expectation is crazy to me. Most of what we’ve seen in an official capacity is cut scenes for a story mode resembling what they’ve been putting out since 2008, and that’s if you ignore the fact that gameplay has leaked multiple times and there won’t even be multiplayer at launch. Smart money is that there’s a campaign like they’ve always made and then the online rolls out months later, like their last two games.

Setting your expectations based on marketing is truly “smart money”. It would be a nice surprise if that happened, but the monetary incentive pales in comarison.

I think the smart money is on them continuing to do what they’ve been doing for decades, which is the kind of campaign they’ve made for decades, especially since there’s no online mode out of the gate.

I’ve noticed that 5’s big online content cycles have all come with their own detailed trailers and “story” moments. I don’t know when those come in between missions, but it’s plausible some of the 6 trailer content comes from missions like those.

Not when they keep showing the Bonnie and Clyde characters that we know are the playable protagonists. It takes more effort to believe that they’re not making a campaign like they’ve always made.

Nobody’s claiming they have “zero” singleplayer campaign, but it’s possible it’s very short. A movie makes its trailers off of an hour and a half of content, so the campaign doesn’t have to be long to generate enough for trailers, especially if they can mix in shots of online campaigns.
