Expecting people to not preorder GTA VI was wishful thinking. 5 came out in the peak of gaming, a few years before everything started turning to 💩, leaving a positive feeling about the brand in everyones minds. They have yet to burn their reputation and the GTA brand by releasing modern audience slop like every other AAA studio has over the last 12 years.
 
Something tells me AnyPS5 (or something like it) will have GTA6 (at least the single player part) running on Windows/Linux before any official PC release happens. It might take a year, but GTA6 would be a holy grail of sorts for hackers+AI to reverse engineer.

Rumor has it GTA 6 is launching on PC in Q1 2027, so I doubt that if true.
 
one of em will be working on it minutes after release, they want that braggin right.

If so, next year is going to be quite stacked for me.

Metro 2039
Tomb Raider
Exodus
FF7 Revelations
Resident Evil Veronica
The Expanse game
No Law (assuming it comes out)

And maybe GTA6 (I liked 5, thought 4 was crap).

Let's hope at least half of those will be actually good.

I think GTA4 was infinitely better than 5. Especially the expansions. I sank hundreds of hours into 4, while only finished the story mode once in 5 and then dropped the game. Characters were annoying and boring af. Even the driving physics is worse in 5 than 4. And the size of the map became a burden instead of a benefit.
 

GTA 6 leaks again just six weeks before release, with 25 minutes of gameplay​

A new 25-minute gameplay leak from Grand Theft Auto VI has appeared online, showing previously unseen gameplay, cutscenes, vehicle customization and what appears to be a fully functional first-person mode. The footage was released by Cyberleek, the same leaker who has been sharing GTA 6 videos...

I think I will enjoy Metro & RE, as those devs deliver. FF7 Revelations I should enjoy as well given I liked the last two. Others are a wait and see, but so far they look decent for me.

Hoping Tomb Raider is gonna be OK. Besides all the obvious crap it has possibly going against it, and after how boring the last game (Shadow) was - the is also a remake/the same story for the third time now (counting the original) with this game. Lot to overcome.
 
This Company Is Paying One Lucky ‘GTA 6’ Fan Nearly $900 to Play the Game for 8 Hours

Ahead of the release Grand Theft Auto 6 in November, TV and broadband provider Virgin Media has launched a new sweepstakes: It’s going to pay one winning candidate almost $900 to play the hotly anticipated adventure-action title for eight hours and share their “honest” review of the game on social media...the winner also will get a free copy of GTA 6

Virgin Media is accepting applications through Nov. 15 for the gig, requiring applicants to explain why they deserve the job...the catch?...the promotion is being sponsored by Virgin Media Ireland, and the offer is open only to residents of the Republic of Ireland...

Console problems for now. Series S has the smallest storage of 512GB, but if you ask me those owners should be grateful GTA6 will run at all.

I was in the same boat during the GTA5 launch. Was grateful it ran on the 360 at all, but I basically had to uninstall everything to clear up enough disk space to install it. Woes of opting for the smallest storage SKU.

I seem to remember having GTAV, plants vs zombies and zuma installed lol.
 
I havn't gotten console yet to play, think I'm going to wait a couple months after release for ps5 units to flood ebay and hopefully get one a bit cheaper. Maybe by that time there will be some idea if/when a PC version is coming.
 
Eh I was going to get it on release but honestly have no intrest. When it is $5 I'll get it maybe. I'll proabaly spend the next month's with the OoT remake.

"GTA 6 Will Need Up to 212 GB of Storage, Pre-Load Now Starts November 10​

by DrUsmanSaleem Today, 19:05 Discuss (8 Comments)
Rockstar has moved GTA 6's pre-load up by two days. According to an updated Newswire post and support page, digital pre-orders can now start downloading on November 10, instead of the November 12 date announced back in June. The exact timing depends on the console. On PlayStation 5, the pre-load unlocks at midnight local time in the user's respective time zone. Xbox Series X|S gets a single global unlock at 12 a.m. GMT, which works out to 7 PM ET or 4 PM PT on November 9 for players in North America, while the full launch is still set for November 19.

Rockstar also put a number on the file size for the first time, saying the pre-load will need "up to 212 GB of available space depending on your device." That's a touch above the 210 GB figure a dataminer pulled from the PlayStation Store backend last week, but it's safe to say it was an accurate leak. The "depending on your device" bit suggests the PS5 and Xbox builds won't be exactly the same size, though Rockstar didn't share a per-console breakdown. That does mean that on a launch PS5 with roughly 667 GB of usable storage, GTA 6 alone would eat close to a third of the drive."
 
GTA 6 should be banned—but that will never happen, at least not in democracies.
I assumed a long time ago that GTA 6 would be built using the mechanics of RDR2—with better graphics.

All these Gamers guys at work talking about this game for past 9 months. If the game wasn't a total time sink I would pick it up. I just hope the frame rate is ok I expect 30 fps.

Just googled it 30 fps is confirmed

What am I supposed to explain, or what
Let me brief you,
The Confirmed ban
Tajikistan – The government has reportedly banned the sale of GTA 6, citing concerns that it promotes crime and violence. This follows its earlier ban on previous GTA games.

Obviously, in some poor struck African regions, they can’t afford electricity- so they can’t play.

Countries where availability is currently uncertain or restricted
Pre-orders are unavailable or highly limited on some PlayStation stores in:
Bahrain
Kuwait
Oman
Qatar
Lebanon
However, there has been no official announcement from those governments that GTA VI itself is banned but it’s hard to come by there.

Russia
Russia is a special case. The PlayStation Store no longer operates there due to Sony’s suspension of services, so the game isn’t available through that storefront. This is not the same as a government ban on GTA VI. They did ban some LGBTQ+ content and shows there. So we can understand their stance on western attitudes. Further, it’s likely if the PlayStation store opens up there, it’s only a matter of time before police or the government discovers Grand Theft Auto.

China
China has very strict game approval rules, and GTA games have historically not been officially released there. GTA VI is also not officially available through the Chinese PlayStation Store.
They do have VPNs but that’s exactly what British kids use to use certain social apps due to the age ban that’s going on there. The police generally go after VPN providers unless they are going after someone in particular, then the police would charge the individual with using a VPN. But this is not common on a grand scale. The government here is heavily into censorship (for a progressive country of its size).

Officially banned: Tajikistan.
Restricted or unavailable in digital stores for Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Lebanon, China, and Russia (for different reasons), but these are not all confirmed government bans.
So I guess, not everyone has VPNs- some people have parents who won’t let them play. So how do kids and adults play in these regions or in western states where the parental or household regime is strict?

Are you considering moving to one of those countries since you want GTA6 banned?
 
Rockstar Games has released a new gallery of 39 GTA 6 screenshots

https://www.rockstargames.com/VI/launch-gallery
The last few batches of screenshots I've seen really make it seem blurry and low res. It's obviously making use of some pretty heavy upscaling. Almost like it's a little too ambitious for current gen consoles, and even then that's supposed to run at 30fps? No thanks. I think it's gonna look like crap on big screen tvs.

Probably leaning heavily on FSR. FSR got updated to 4.1.2 on consoles which I'd like to think GTA6 will ship with. Guess we'll see.
 
I'm getting GTA V vibes from the technical performance. The game can run on current-gen consoles, but there's that nagging sense that itr's really meant for next-gen systems. I can see GTA VI running without FSR at higher frame rates, at the least.

Yes, it looks blurry and ugly because those are consoles. It is pushing current consoles to the limit, and I know they are making graphics/gameplay in mind to scale up for PC and the next consoles.

GTA 6's PC port will release sooner than you think to avoid losing money to AI rip-offs, says former Rockstar tech director

The rise of generative AI that is making it extremely easy for anyone to port games to PC or improve emulation is likely going to pressure the studio and its parent company Take-Two Interactive into releasing GTA 6 officially on PC sooner than expected, as former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij believes some will cross any hurdle to get it on PC as soon as possible, even if it would cost tens of thousands of dollars in tokens...

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/it...i-rip-offs-says-former-rockstar-tech-director
 
And if that happens it will be like the launch of the definitive editions. Temu copies essentially. The real one that they should be worried about is the PS5 hypervisor getting cracked again which would allow them to dump the game and get it working in an emulator easily.
