No footage shown for years
Is been worked on, isn't been worked on
Moved teams
No mention of GTA online plan
GTA 5 single player dlc cancelled for focus on 6

Biggest one of all?
They were planning on releasing it cross gen but they've missed the boat. The 'leak' was to test the waters to see if they could get away with still releasing it cross gen.

GTA6 should have launched by now. But what did we get? GTA5 trailers and another rererelease where the cops have walkie talkies instead of guns.

_______________________________________

Ignoring all of that, answer this:

How does a game built on edgy humour, laughing at stereotypes and macho, masculine crime gangs, launch a safe, tame, no-no word avoiding sequel that doesn't paint any minority in a bad light?

If it is classic GTA, it'll be shredded by the LGBT.
If it isn't classic GTA who the hell will want to play it?

Millions of copies will be sold, just like cyberpunk.
The media will tell you it's game of the generation
Your lying eyes will say it's bland, boring and forgetable.

You must be extremely young if you think it's GTA vs LGBT groups

Rockstar are very pro left. it has been Christian alt right puritans trying to cancel GTA and Rockstar games in general over the years and it will be again. It's set in Florida, they are going to take right wing mocking to the extreme

It will be insane for PS5 and Pro for 2-3 years.

Basically up till nearly the end of the generation... might have 2 years after but GTA6 will have a long tail.

I'm not young. I was there day 1 with GTA 1. I remember Jack whatshisface trying to ban GTA and mortal combat and the hot coffee mod getting stick for showing tiddies or whatever.

This is different. It isn't the catholic church trying to ban Holy Grail, or some bible basher saying violent video games cause school shooters.

This is the market following a group of people who see GTA-style humour as kryptonite. That group dictates the industry.

I'm just going to say this without going into further detail - this is absolutely incorrect, and I know it for a fact.

Edit: to clarify - I don't know if the game was being developed for last gen consoles, but I highly doubt it considering the project timeline. What I do know is that the leak was not a testing ground.

Haven't seen a single left wing person complain about GTA6. All I see is right wing snowflakes already trying to cancel the game at the mere imaginary thought there is a left wing idea in the game

Nevermind the meltdowns over black people in the trailer. Wonder who did that?

why would leftist complain about leftist politics in GTA6? this makes no sense.

but if you put white straight powerful males in front of the seat, oh, boy, just hold on..
there was already articles about why there is no lead women in GTA. and what do you know, what happened?

He's right though? GTA was pretty much always a game that caricatured society and pretty "woke" by whatever standards woke is nowadays. I'm pretty sure anybody that thinks otherwise didn't pay any attention to these games.

my man, look what he wrote. and what i wrote back and forth. it is not about the woke or it isn't woke. left or right.

he - ''Haven't seen a single left wing person complain about GTA6.''

me - ''why would leftist complain about leftist politics in GTA6? this makes no sense.''

he - ''GTA has always been made by leftists for leftists''

0 self awareness. he proved my point for me and looks like a clown by telling other to be quiet.

I see it being really good for PS5 sales if its not on Switch 2.

This will sell just fine.
LMaybe journalist will give it some lower than expected scores just so they can go with the consoles are dead narrative everyone seems to be pushing. For views at the least

If it will be running on patato S, isn't it possible to run on Switch 2 too?

This is what happens when you but in and ignore the post I was responding to

"How does a game built on edgy humour, laughing at stereotypes and macho, masculine crime gangs, launch a safe, tame, no-no word avoiding sequel that doesn't paint any minority in a bad light?

If it is classic GTA, it'll be shredded by the LGBT.
If it isn't classic GTA who the hell will want to play it?"

Also you

"but if you put white straight powerful males in front of the seat, oh, boy, just hold on.."

Not my fault you guys think GTA has changed when it has always been this way. Trying to start another fake culture outrage war where there is none.

You're just puritan Christians rebranded to woke in games instead of violence in games

Maybe on day one purchases but the MAU will drop like the Hindenburg

How can they not?
I was referring to Lifetime sales? GTA 6 will sell for years unless something goes seriously wrong. It won't have the luxury of 3 different generation of sales, so many will quick to say it underperformed but it's also the only game I can see, finally mass migrating the remaining 50+ million dedicated PS4 players.

As for GTA being toned down, it won't really be. They will definitely be doing a meta commentary on modern society, is anyone safe? I don't think so, they can teether the line and get away with it.

Outrage and Mass Boycotts will never work for a game like this, so good luck to anyone who tries.

Yet again. I don't care about right or left, non of this shit. I grew up with GTA1 and forward games, i don't care.
You are right about how these games were created, but i don't talk that at all.
I CLEARLY single out what i am responding to, so other points are just mute.
