Oh joy. What an important cultural contribution that will be.
GTA 6 will have a 'significant online mode' to generate revenue for years into the future

I’m fucking done with Rockstar after GTA5. Took a great franchise and fucking ruined it with online mode.
Also, I can’t play Vice City (still my favorite) on PC without the Social Club bullshit or downloading a cracked version (I gave up on pirated software), despite it being a single player game. Just another company I’m happy to boycott forever.

You should try playing Vice City on a PS2 emulator. Connect your emulator with retroachievements.org and try to get all the achievements. If you can find a legit PS2 copy, it won’t be piracy.

That’s a good wisdom! I still have my original PS2 disc packed away, but I’d have to get a DVD drive for my PC (I haven’t had one for years). They’re cheap enough, and I’ve got a few other games as well. Thanks!

I only ever bought RDR2 from them, which is still bringing me a lot of enjoyment, and after seeing how they squandered RDR online for the heinous crime of not printing money fast enough, I don’t think I’ll be buying anything from them for the foreseeable future.

That’s my big problem with the online mode as well. They could have actually made it fun but it’s totally unplayable because they don’t do anything about hackers while at the same time even by legitimate means giving players access to fucking sci-fi death machines.
I’m so sick of spawning in and instantly getting blown up by a flying motorcycle with infinite rockets. That’s not even fun gameplay for the person the flying motorcycle.

Oh good this is here, I don’t have to post it.

We all figured that. The question is will there be any additional single player content.

Will the netcode be as crappy as in the original GTA Online? Sources say yes.

GTA Online was/is peer to peer. Imagine a world where they chose to have dedicated lobby servers…
deranger@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
When you say peer to peer, does this mean every player communicates with every other player, or does one person act as the “server”?
Mandy@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
The only reason they even doing more than an online mode at this point is cause they might lose out on a couple of greens otherwise

I don’t think so personally. Without a story campaign, there is just not enough force to push the launch sales. I think that’s why since Black ops 4, all cod has a campaign.
Just hope they don’t make the campaign need online connection too, lol. Rockstar launcher is shit enough as it is.

This is depressing. RDR2 is on of the pinnacle achievements in gaming and it seems like it might be the last of its kind.

How sad is it when gaming companies first advertise to their shareholders before the gamers…
60fpsrefugee@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Hate it or love it, GTA has become one of the world biggest brand. GTA6 might be one of the biggest mainstream game. And you just don’t make the biggest game without the biggest parachute to get everyone on-board.

So sad that Rockstar now too is “one of those”, but that is what always happens when small companies making great products grown into large corporations. Gta6 will be shit, it will ring in the end for Rockstar and nobody at the exec level at Rockstar willl care because they will have filled their pockets and can jump ship.

Lemme guess: microtransactions next?

Anyone who bought a shark card here is to blame

Oh well I’m definitely going to get the game then. I was concerned that it wouldn’t be maximally profitable for shareholders.
I don’t need to know anything about the gameplay just that someone who isn’t me will make a lot of money out of this.

This game is looking less fun every day

That’s not a headline. That’s like the science community releasing a headline that Earth has been confirmed to be an oxygen rich environment.

The source the Tweektown article is quoting also says:
bloomberg.com/…/-gta-6-release-date-will-decide-m…
This is probably more interesting, that some upcoming games which don’t have release dates may be waiting for this before they commit to a schedule is somewhat noteworthy.
icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Officially confirming obvious things is still important
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 months ago
this is not huge news.
echodot@feddit.uk 4 months ago
Well technically we’ve had it confirmed all the way up to the PS9. Which presumably will release alongside somehow the Xbox X
OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
To me this is more like, the playstation 6 will have online connectivity.
