Comment on Fired Rockstar devs don’t want you to boycott GTA 6 but ask for support - Dexerto
Katana314@lemmy.world 2 days agoI’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.

I get where the cynicism comes from, but they still made their regular 30 hour campaign for RDR2 after GTA Online already blew up. They make campaigns like this. It’s what they do, it’s what these trailers and store pages allude to, and it’s what leaked footage shows. As much money as the online mode makes, they’re not about to shun the players they’ve had for decades as though they don’t matter, because those players are still worth billions of dollars to them, and work that goes into their usual campaigns can be repurposed for online after the fact.
