      I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
      Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that’s gonna be super hard to crack?
      Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren’t particularly worried about piracy?

      Of course given the popularity and antecipation I’m sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it’ll go down.

      This game is what’s finally going to push me upgrade my 3060Ti in a few years but… I’m not exactly hopeful on there being anything to upgrade to. Would prefer to skip nvidia and amd has decided to abandon the high end market but if I’m upgrading, I’d like to go up a tier or two, not just a few generations. I want to be blown away by the card that’s going to have to last me the next 5-10 years.

      I’m also guessing there won’t be a new GPU generation out next year.

          TBoGT was Luis, who was pretty much what VI’s male protag (Jason?) should’ve been. He actually had a personality other than just being the big badass guy.

          I suspect the reason they haven’t had female protagonists before is just pure male defaultism rampant in the gaming industry. Gamers would’ve made a ton of noise in the past. Otherwise, a game with Catalina as the protagonist could’ve been really interesting.

    Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don’t connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it’s a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.

    Graphically… it looks great. If what we’re seeing isn’t just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.

    The dudes voice I don’t like. Apparently I’m not the only person judging by some of the comments I’ve read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they’re somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn’t match what we’re seeing as the Model.

    Eh. Anyways whatever. I’m old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I’m not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That’s just me though.

          Well it’s releasing on the PS5 so it would be pretty dumb if it doesn’t actually work on the PS5. Anyway what the mostly showed was cut scenes and they are easy to optimize because anything that’s literally not on screen can just be unloaded.

            I remember when the very first teaser came out for this and people were going wild. I asked in a streamers chat (first mistake) if there was any actual in-game gameplay footage or it was just a CGI/cutscene and the streamer chewed me out lol. “Let people be excited about things!”

              To be clear there is a difference between pre-rendered cut scenes and in game cut scenes. I’m pretty sure everything we saw, and have seen so far, has all been in game cut scenes.

              But still I suspect that the game won’t be the same quality out of cutscenes as it is in cut scenes. Most games actually have two different character models depending on if you’re using it for gameplay or cut scenes, and it’s how GTA IV did it.

      I get some of the very well deserved hate for Rockstar but come on, it’s one of the best looking games this year, and the fact it looks like that on, an apparently baseline, PS5 is nuts.

      In a few years when they port it to PC and we we can throw it at a high end graphics card, it’s going to look like real life. And it’s clear that there is more then just graphics here.

      Mind you, I have no idea how they are going to handle the online mode as GTAO was terrible. I hope they do better with that.

        This wasn’t meant as either criticism or high praise. It looks like a GTA game is supposed to. I mean gameplay-wise. This is good for people who like GTA and anyone else won’t care. The game will probably be fun and have tons of stuff and minigames to play.

          Well it would be difficult for it to look like any other game it’s not like they’re going to add puzzle elements. But it does seem to be a bit more realistic, it looks like you won’t be able to just shoot the cops and then go hide underground in the train network, so that’s a fairly major departure from traditional gameplay.

                RDR1 was a special case, San Diego didn’t port their previous few games either which is why we don’t have Midnight Club LA on PC for example.

                GTA is too big. It’s guaranteed extra sales for a game they already have. Same with RDR2, it was heaps more popular than the first (which itself was more popular than expected I guess) so leaving it console exclusive was never really on the table.

    Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won’t watch because I’d rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I’ll probably get this several years after release the same way. I’m remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).

    Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It’s not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I’m an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

        I’m not particularly a fan of GTA series. However did completed every one of them since GTA III. My issue with GTA VI trailer though is that it looks too realistic, and not really well stylized. It doesn’t ring the vibe of Vice City. And it doesn’t look catchy for my eye. Would love to be proven wrong after release (More good games to complete). I can acknowledge that lighting tech is impressive. Animations are good. And environment is detailed. But atm it looks soulless for me comparing it even to the same GTA V. And story wise tracking 3 doofuses idiotic plans was actually fan. Here I don’t feel anything remotely special atm. Might be a damn good sandbox. But will it be the actual successor amongst the series games is under the question.

          I suspect two things:

          The world will be more immersive and less soulless once we can actually navigate it. It’s also the first time there’s been a swamp in GTA which is cool.

          Lucia will be by far the better protagonist. The other one seems poorly written and with a voice completely mismatching the character model. I think Lucia will have more depth and her voice is more pleasant.

      It looks amazing everything about it is incredible. Except Jason’s voice. It’s so immersion breaking I can’t put my finger on it. It’s not that it just lacks emotion, Arthur’s character in RDR2 lacked emotion most of the time. And he’s a great character

      This is something else entirely. It distracted me during the entire reveal and I found myself getting more annoyed with it as the trailer went. It sounds filtered and muffled like he was talking into a box fan. During recording

          It sounds like it’s being ran through one of those anonymous voice filters while the person saying the lines is trying to fake a deep voice.

          It doesn’t fit the character model whatsoever. I truly hate it. Do we even know who’s doing the voice yet? Maybe rockstar is filtering it so we can’t identify it yet I don’t know. If it’s filtered great that’s not what we will be hearing. If it’s not. Then it’s a major problem

              Yes they were. The pistols shot in the hallway sounded amazing and then sounded different in the open which was even better

      I don’t think anybody does detail quite like Rockstar. When I finished Read Dead 2 I just sat through the credits in awe at the sheer amount of effort that had gone into it. Animals skinned while you watch, lines recorded twice for close and far away dialogue, whole hunting and animal systems. Subtle changes in dialogue depending on how you play.

      Compare to “AAAA” games like Far Cry Avatar, with an equal number of systems, but none are really fleshed out, and the whole thing feels very half arsed in comparison.

      I think the only game to really come close to them is Baldur’s Gate 3.

      Yeah, the online stuff is pure fucking greed, but I don’t care for that. I don’t play it. I never loaded GTAO or Red Dead Online. I don’t demand I be allowed to pay extra for more DLC. It’s all in the base game I already bought. I play it, I finish it, it goes on the shelf. Or it went on the shelf. RIP discs, I guess. :(

      I will still recommend people wait. Wait for reviews, wait for initial audience impressions, and wait to play it on your platform of choice.

      What I see is a game that has a lot of detail and some big cinematic moments that make for a good trailer. But whether all that detail translates into a genuinely fun experience remains to be seen.

      For all we know, the rest of the game outside of the trailers could be nothing but ET trying to jump out of holes.

        Oh, I agree. Always wait for reviews unless you like throwing money away.

        And I won’t be buying this game.

      Apple make good hardware, their software is awful. It’s really annoying because I really want a time of flight sensor on my phone so I can do some 3D scanning but I’ll have to put up with apples awful operating system that won’t talk to any computer that isn’t a Mac
