  It looks incredible. I seriously wonder if we’ll ever see another game ever attempt this scale, this could be rockstar’s magnum opus.

    Point to the spicy yet endearing character… Because I didn’t see any. Saw some stiff cop stand-ins though.

      If I’m getting critical I agree - the story seemed somewhat mild/cliche. The dialog was lacking any sort of interesting banter, it was mostly fluctuating between business and panic.

      However the sandbox that I’m seeing in action (ie, the police chase, hallway gun fight) is frankly incredibly and ridiculously detailed to a point of absurdity. It’s a generational leap forward in open world richness, of that respect. I’m hopeful it doesn’t take always take itself so seriously.

    Already in the works and already bigger than GTAVI. It is called Star Citizen

    CDPR won’t be far off with future witcher and cyberpunk games.

  I can’t buy it. I couldn’t find a reason to get a console this gen. So I’ll be waiting for PC, and I got enough things to play for years in the mean time.

    The patient gamer strategy has always paid off for me, and I have to recommend it to everyone else.

    One of the games I finished most recently was Cyberpunk 2077. Great game worth playing today, not so great at launch. And on the CD Projekt topic, The Witcher 3 has also been on my to-do list for ages, and guess what’s getting a remaster in a few more weeks?

    There are too many games out there to play in one lifetime. When most games seem to be in their worst state at launch, why rush to buy when there’s so much else out there to try while you wait?

      It’s unreal for me how impatient some people are, a friend is buying an console just so he can play it earlier. Pre-ordering every single game and then complaining they get unfinished stuff.

      Like dude i just wait till it releases with a normal price tag, we’re waaay to old to care about having fomo.

  I’ll buy it on steam for like $10 bucks… if there is a decent single player campaign, otherwise I’ll pass

    It’s only a single player game. (Currently)

  I watched this last night, and honestly, aside from the buddy system that nobody asked for and what appears to be some kind of morality/criminal profile system that makes very little sense in a GTA setting, I saw remarkably little that actually interested me.

  Yes, it looks absolutely gorgeous. Yes, there are heavy plot elements, impressive character animations, and an enormous amount of polish. But underneath all of that, I’m not seeing much that makes me think, “Holy shit, this is what GTA needed to become.”

  And that’s what concerns me.

  My fear isn’t that GTA VI is going to be bad. It’s that Rockstar has spent all this time trying to “innovate” when they really didn’t need to. GTA already has an incredibly successful formula. Give us a massive, reactive sandbox, better AI, smarter police, deeper heists, more emergent gameplay, better vehicle physics, and more freedom in how we approach things. That’s innovation enough.

  I don’t need GTA to become Red Dead Redemption with cars, a morality system, relationship mechanics, and a heavily scripted narrative.

  I’m also increasingly worried about the industry’s tendency to try to appeal to the broadest possible audience while simultaneously designing around increasingly specific demographics. You can end up with a game that technically has something for everyone but somehow loses the thing that made people love the franchise in the first place.

  Just look at the new Wolverine game. That’s exactly the sort of direction I’m afraid of seeing more often: taking an established property and deciding that it needs to be something fundamentally different rather than simply making an excellent version of what people already liked.

  All Rockstar had to do was make another GTA. They didn’t need to reinvent the wheel.

  I really hope I’m wrong about this. Because if GTA VI turns out to be an incredible open-world crime sandbox underneath all the cinematic presentation, I’ll be the first person to shut up and enjoy it.

  Please be right, Rockstar.

      I skipped through it but there was a very obvious die hard inspired mission towards the end. I think that counts as a parody although it lacked humor in my opinion.

      source
    • zikzak025@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Maybe the game itself is the parody. Like when Jeremy Strong’s character in Succession thinks he’s gangster because he listens to rap music and does drugs sometimes.

    At the main entrance to the building been just some thugs, dropping a name and a short vibe check seems totally reasonable to me. The security guy for the business was at the elevator and to me it looked like he was texting with someone to confirm.

    That’s, like, the least ridiculous thing that happens in a GTA game in general.

  It looks good but so what, of course it does. Can I go into any house/business? How open world is it truly? Does every ship have unique items and layouts?

  Thanks for sharing. I never judge from trailers but I don’t think they will release a demo: it looks good but also the same GTA stuff, I was hoping for something more audacious and instead it seems innocuous at a narrative level. Maybe the first boring GTA? I think it will sell very good since it targets normies for the most but I’m very curious to read the critique when playtested.
