    Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don’t connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it’s a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.

    Graphically… it looks great. If what we’re seeing isn’t just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.

    The dudes voice I don’t like. Apparently I’m not the only person judging by some of the comments I’ve read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they’re somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn’t match what we’re seeing as the Model.

    Eh. Anyways whatever. I’m old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I’m not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That’s just me though.

    Seems like a good game but the expensive price plus the fact it will be 30FPS on launch is a no-go for me. Will wait for PC release (if that ever comes?). Got enough backlog games anyway.

      Quite possibly. The other side of the coin though is that I’m sure Netflix wanted the deal to pull in new subscribers, so if options to watch it elsewhere prevent that from happening, that could still be a win.

      It’s kind of obvious they are double dipping on the anxious that would buy a console solely for GTA.

        They haven’t announced it’s coming at all yet, it’s speculation on our end.

        They’d be mad not to, but again, they haven’t said it’s actually coming yet.

          I’m old enough to remember exactly this discussion for GTA 3, 4, 5 and now 6.

          Yeah, they never announce it for PC early so they’re not cannibalize console sales. They do this eeeeeevery time. Every single fucking time.

          It’ll be out on PC in due time.

      I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
      Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that’s gonna be super hard to crack?
      Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren’t particularly worried about piracy?

      Of course given the popularity and antecipation I’m sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it’ll go down.

        The game won’t run without an armed agent pointing a gun at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

      GTA IV was the last one I’ve ever owned. Been tempted by 5:00 a few times but I have got enough games that I’ll never play. I don’t need it as well.

    Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won’t watch because I’d rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I’ll probably get this several years after release the same way. I’m remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).

    Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It’s not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I’m an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

      I will still recommend people wait. Wait for reviews, wait for initial audience impressions, and wait to play it on your platform of choice.

      What I see is a game that has a lot of detail and some big cinematic moments that make for a good trailer. But whether all that detail translates into a genuinely fun experience remains to be seen.

      For all we know, the rest of the game outside of the trailers could be nothing but ET trying to jump out of holes.

      It looks amazing everything about it is incredible. Except Jason’s voice. It’s so immersion breaking I can’t put my finger on it. It’s not that it just lacks emotion, Arthur’s character in RDR2 lacked emotion most of the time. And he’s a great character

      This is something else entirely. It distracted me during the entire reveal and I found myself getting more annoyed with it as the trailer went. It sounds filtered and muffled like he was talking into a box fan. During recording

        I actually agree with you. I was browsing the comments and during the first few minutes I was thinking “ah, they’re exaggerating”, but it really did get worse and worse. Really puts me off as well.

          It sounds like it’s being ran through one of those anonymous voice filters while the person saying the lines is trying to fake a deep voice.

          It doesn’t fit the character model whatsoever. I truly hate it. Do we even know who’s doing the voice yet? Maybe rockstar is filtering it so we can’t identify it yet I don’t know. If it’s filtered great that’s not what we will be hearing. If it’s not. Then it’s a major problem

      I mean sure they’ve had money and time than God to make it, but boy did it look like they spent it well. The big thing for me is the real time lighting, a lot of lights are drawing shadows and a lot of objects are self-shadowing on each light… it’s crazy!

        I’m not particularly a fan of GTA series. However did completed every one of them since GTA III. My issue with GTA VI trailer though is that it looks too realistic, and not really well stylized. It doesn’t ring the vibe of Vice City. And it doesn’t look catchy for my eye. Would love to be proven wrong after release (More good games to complete). I can acknowledge that lighting tech is impressive. Animations are good. And environment is detailed. But atm it looks soulless for me comparing it even to the same GTA V. And story wise tracking 3 doofuses idiotic plans was actually fan. Here I don’t feel anything remotely special atm. Might be a damn good sandbox. But will it be the actual successor amongst the series games is under the question.

      I don’t think anybody does detail quite like Rockstar. When I finished Read Dead 2 I just sat through the credits in awe at the sheer amount of effort that had gone into it. Animals skinned while you watch, lines recorded twice for close and far away dialogue, whole hunting and animal systems. Subtle changes in dialogue depending on how you play.

      Compare to “AAAA” games like Far Cry Avatar, with an equal number of systems, but none are really fleshed out, and the whole thing feels very half arsed in comparison.

      I think the only game to really come close to them is Baldur’s Gate 3.

      Yeah, the online stuff is pure fucking greed, but I don’t care for that. I don’t play it. I never loaded GTAO or Red Dead Online. I don’t demand I be allowed to pay extra for more DLC. It’s all in the base game I already bought. I play it, I finish it, it goes on the shelf. Or it went on the shelf. RIP discs, I guess. :(

    I don’t want an extended preview, I just want a PC release. Gotta dodge spoilers for a year or two. That’s not gonna work.
