This is the best summary I could come up with:


Rockstar Games released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI ahead of schedule on Monday night after it was leaked online.

The trailer confirmed that the massively successful video game franchise would return to the fictional Vice City, based on Miami, and appears to show the series' first female protagonist.

The trailer, which showed off fast cars, robberies, strip clubs and even an alligator walking into a store, garnered almost 20 million views on YouTube two hours after it was uploaded.

Some users commented that this evoked "major Bonnie and Clyde vibes," referring to the infamous American crime couple during the Great Depression.

The trailer has been keenly awaited by gamers, with more than a decade passing since the last installment of the Grand Theft Auto series was released.

Earlier this year, a British court found a teenager responsible for leaking around 50 minutes of in-game footage during the development stage back in 2022.

It looks like just GTA V with mods and crack lol

But i already see people 70€ for it.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm probably going to pirate it with the way they've treated gta online

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Rockstar Gaming disapproves

Yeah they treated it really bad and the cheaters were everywhere and toxic playerbase is not really good.

And after i looked up how gta online handles serverside/clientside code, i can understand how easy it is just to cheat.

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah, basically everything is p2p from my understanding. and the anticheat is basically nonexistent (technically a good thing for linux gaming).

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ther is no point in not cheating in gta5 online. You either grind like a motherfucker or you buy shark cards that are expensive as fuck. Why not cheat abd if you get banned you buy the game again, because it's still cheaper.

Uh, it looks similar to GTA5 because it is the SEQUEL… The graphics and detail are amazing, GTA5 will probably feel like PS2 graphics when this is out.

Sure it’s just a trailer and no gameplay but if the trailer uses the games graphics engine this is incredibly impressive.

70€ for hundreds or thousands of hours of entertainment is a pretty damn good deal. Compare that to a ticket at the cinema for 2 hours.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I would not say its hundreds or thousands of hours? 30 hours max for GTA V for my "playthrough" and Online is not usable for coop or anything else then shitting on new users. But i was never a fan of GTA so you can be more hyped than me.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That is a ridiculous amount of time to put into a game. And completely impractical and shouldn't be considered a selling point. Thousands of hours probably but Jesus relax.

[–] Graphine@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

RDR2 is so massively detailed and open that frankly I think that game is worth HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay. Two years in and I’m still finding new things to do. I agree I didn’t spend that long with V outside of the main story given how little there is to do, but it’s safe to say they’re gonna take everything that was a masterpiece with RDR2 and just put it in GTA. That’s kind of why the hype is so large.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My biggest problem with RDR2 is how linear and on-rails it felt. Seemed like a ton of window dressing with very little to actually do outside of the main story and its big action set pieces. One of my biggest gaming disappointments. I really hope GTA VI puts more love into its open world this go around.

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

IF (big if) it has decent performance on 20-30 series cards, an actual story and a better online mode, i probably will purchase it. but not for 70 bones. i'll watch out for keys online.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Their announcement specified ps5 and series x. There was no mention of pc.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You mean decent performance for GTX series cards, as if a game requires higher cards => less optimized. I wont have any hopes it will be good online mode as i see that its just a GTA V with visual mods and a "new" story.

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

any gtx card is now 3-4 generations old. the 1080 should be able to play it at low settings but i won't blame them if they require 2060 and up.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

if the 1080 wont run it on ultra low 720p its so bad optimised, like Cyberpunk 2077 on release, and this will probably downgrade everyones experience.

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It looks like a GTA knock-off. The amount of fuckbois in the trailer gives off a Saints Row vibe more than a GTA one.

[–] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's a trailer, my man. it's supposed to be over the top. and with a 10 year wait, we're expecting a lot from them.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Yeah, thats the thing 10 years for that mix of saints row, Far Cry. Is a bit undershooting its promise.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Yep thought that too but didnt wanted to say it out loud.

[–] FlavoredButtHair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If it comes out early enough in the year, wait for black Friday.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I will see if it is starting like cyberpunk or if its getting a good release.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Looks cool. It has been a while now.
