Don't worry I expect the lead character will be 'strapped' for such occasions

When this thing fucking dropped, man. Damn. People spent weeks picking apart every individual frame.

No shit, like you expected him to talk about a game they didn't even officially announce yet

Yeah, when V released I was in university, stayed up all night eating pizza and crisps and drinking beer playing it. By the time VI releases I might well be a married father and homeowner. Time's a real bitch.
I’m gonna miss my youth because it’s gone in a blink of an eye

I wasn't around the internet much when the reveal of GTA V happened and I have a question, how does it typically goes with the announcement of such a big game? Do they first announce it on their website that the next GTA game is in development or they release a trailer first and then come out publicly with a statement about the development?
They literally just dropped a photo with the V logo on a black background on their website with a trailer date below it. I think it was late October.
Funny thing is, they denied that V even existed a week before they announced it. Rockstar are really good at keeping things under wraps

Of course, this is nothing new to me, the less we know about something, the more we are excited about it, it's just the way it works, but if I learned anything from interviews with a AAA developers like Capcom, is that they start a pre-production of a new game before the current one is even out. Rockstar can deny as much as they want that there is nothing to announce, but this is just a logical conclusion that there is a new GTA in development and has been for some time, they wouldn't waste so many years without even thinking about the next GTA game.

I think they would wait for gta5 sales to taper off before an announcement.
It's still a beast.

Please let the main character be a black, female, transsexual in a wheelchair. Just for funz & giggles about wokeism.
Or just remake GTA4.

"Fans think that in-game media may be referring to websites and TV shows found within the game world. If that’s the case, the internet didn’t become mainstream until 1990, with the creation of the World Wide Web and the first web browser. For this reason, fans speculate that GTA 6 must be set sometime after 1990."Rockstar Games Job Listing May Hint at Grand Theft Auto 6 Setting

How much of a zoomer do you have to be to think that media didn't exist before the 90s?

This is a non-issue because this can easily be bypassed by making current and future vehicles "futuristic" by 70/80s standards.
I don't think GTA Online is striving for realism anyway.

Has anyone played the GTA trilogy on PS4/PS5? I’m thinking of picking it up on PS5 for old times sake! Is it just a straight port 30fps etc. I might just play through them for the nostalgia or maybe I’m best to keep my good memories.

All GTA’s before 4 had shit controls... Went back to play them and they are awful. Atmosphere was cool but the rest was bad

I’ve always thought it would be cool if each new GTA took place in a different region/country, kind of like Assassins Creed. GTA Tokyo, GTA Moscow, GTA Havanna, GTA Istanbul etc, you get the idea. Because frankly, modern American (coastal) cities as a setting feel pretty stale and boring at this point.

Hope they set it in the UK. Where you suddenly get five stars pop up, and cops rush to taser you when you sit on a park bench.

Controls are functional albiet simplistic. It's not that about Vice City that I dislike, it's the missions, map design and the rushed feeling of it. Game saved entirely by being set in the 1980s.

You make me feel old, I was 27 when GTAV released.
I was older than 11.. About 13 when the first original GTA game was released on PC in 1997. Those were some good times!

I can't play them because of how bad the controls are.

Nice to see a fellow gaffer in my age range, I remember having lan parties with my buddies bringing over their full tower PCs and crt monitors crammed around my dinner table playing original GTA

If not then be prepared to play a female character that's super uncomfortable because most criminal females are extremely drug addicted and or have some sort of drug daddy, which... yeah... No thanks, undercover cop is the way to go. Hell, it would even allow you the player to choose what to do with the enemy, let the escape or arrest them.

GTA VI 2026 release or later?
Grand Theft Auto V sold 20 million units in 2020, the most since its 2013 release. For some perspective, Vice City sold 20 million copies total. GTA V sold 140 million copies since release for an average of 20 million per year. Usually after 7 years, sales numbers for the last year are lower than the average. Not so with GTA V. It appears even Take 2 is surprised by that because back in 2016 Strauss Zelnick said, “We do expect GTA Online’s results to moderate because October will be three years since we released it.” That was 5 years ago and it's still going strong.
The release of the Expanded & Enhanced version plus the growing base of current gen will keep sales going strong for a while. Rockstar is probably going to keep adding updates for a few years. I don't see them creating the E&E version and not trying to milk it as much as they can. The more time goes on, the more people buy current gen, the more people buy GTA V.
They also have to avoid burnout. Strauss Zelnich said, "We have to rest the franchise at some point." After this many years of GTA V with everything that was added to it, I figure they're going to want to rest it at least a year.
I don't see why they can't get at least 3 years of strong sales numbers from E&E. That brings us to 2025 and then a year of rest = 2026.
