i aint touching GTA Online again.
it ruined GTA. V is a great single player game but as soon as Rockstar realised how much lettuce they could make from GTAO then just abandoned what made GTA so great. fuck single players and lets just milk every last drop from everyone.
we should've had GTA VI by now but nope. who knows when we will get it if we ever do. even if you do enjoy GTA Online it is now a 7 year old game surely it's time for Rockstar to update it? I wouldn't want to play in Los Santos all the time (i know the new update has a new map but it's nothing like a proper world map). Let us play in Liberty City or Vice City. Update the engine to make the game look and run better. Again, this is a 7 year old game! Look at the difference in visuals between GTA V and RDR2. Heck, they could probably make it look better because RDR2 is 2 years old now.
I know GTA Online is printing them money and i can't really blame a business for doing what makes them $ but c'mon to fuck Rockstar!
My guess is that Rockstar skipped PS4 gen because the console is just not powerful enough. Both PS4 and Xbox One (first model). Look at Cyberpunk 2077 and what a mess it is on those consoles. If Rockstar were to make GTA VI, it would not advance the series. Red Dead Redemption 2 got lucky because the game doesn't need many NPC, many buildings and huge maps. There is open world but it's one thing to make you believe that you're in some bandit camp with 2-10 people and another that you're in a big city with thousands of people, cars and the AI that actually works (not like in Cyberpunk). Even the populated areas in RDR2 looked kind of empty... and remember how the consoles struggled with framerate in that last location of RDR2.
PS4 and Xbox One are simply too weak and you can't make GTA VI and tell people "sorry, but we need you to buy PS4 Pro and One X".
I've also seen Last of Us 2 being brought up... guys, it's a survival horror game with post-apocalypse themes made by people who were developing Playstation exclusives for generations and probably are in touch with the designers of the console.
PS5 has more power and the very fact that we can have 60 fps in some games is already a huge proof that this generation is easier for developers. Rockstar couldn't even make GTA V work at 60 fps on PS4 despite it being a PS3 game, couldn't make a PS4 Pro patch or (!) have Red Dead 2 work at higher framerate on Pro.
