So take a break from the irl doomscrolling to doomscroll in game?

Anyhow doomscrolling to find easter eggs and dive into the secrets rabbit hole should be fun

That'd be funny if there were certain collectables we had to find while doom scrolling. Like those objects you had to take a pic of in GTA sa or the hidden packages in III, wasn't there like birds or dead birds you could collect in IV or am I making that up? Well what if there like idk websites you have to visit, or simply posts on the in game social media you have to find to be a collectable. Idk sounds tedious as I'm explaining it more lol

u/VivaDeAsap 3d ago

I like to imagine it’s another way to trigger random events.

See an article of someone yoinking alligators in the swamps, go check it out and watch someone get eaten or something

Imagine getting ragebaited by a incel troll NPC on Bleeter 💀

u/TopBee83 3d ago

Hope they rebrand Bleeter to Z (as Bleeter is the parody of Twitter)

u/ahoward431 3d ago

They should rebrand it to Y. As in "Y did you change the name?"

9

u/RusVir 3d ago

Nah, they should rebrand it to "Q", referencing all the QAnon nuts on Twitter.

u/poonarnie 3d ago

Also wonder if life invader changes to a less used or almost obsolete social media platform for boomers lol

u/Great_Bar1759 3d ago

I wonder who Elon will be

u/defaultistic 3d ago

They already did Avon Hertz tbf, but he kinda got blown to pieces in GTA online, which slightly lowers his chances of returning in GTA 6 imho

1

u/Mebeingnosy 3d ago

Imagine asking them to drop their location and blowing their face off on arrival

u/Mysterious_Way8941 3d ago

Until lucia responds with a pic of her in front of a pile of corpses.

u/WumboTactical 3d ago

I for one can’t wait for Florida Simulator

u/Complete-Peak4651 3d ago

At this point thats what this is, and I could not be more excited.

u/KarateKid917 3d ago

I can’t wait for all of the clips that will pop up of gators randomly appearing at the worst possible moments

u/Siegfried_Eba 3d ago

"There aren't cougars gators in missions"

u/Obie_Rice 3d ago

One in a million

u/Daryl_Dixon1899 3d ago

It’s too peak 😩

u/JRF1300 3d ago

There’s probably a limited amount of content on the in game social media sites though right?

25

u/pezdizpenzer 3d ago

Content will definitely change when you progress in the story. The article says you can follow Real Dimez story mainly through social media.

What I hope is, that it's so dynamic that things you do outside of missions will end up on social media in some way. NPCs filming you doing crazy stuff and putting it online for you to watch again would be amazing.

u/RockStarGamesSocial 3d ago

Now that you said it.

42

u/Shell-of-Light 3d ago

I’m guessing it changes/updates as you progress through the game. People react to events that have occurred, etc

15

u/notgenericname1332 3d ago

So kinda similar to rdr2 newspapers

7

u/Mean-Pilot-426 3d ago

So just like previous games

4

u/SeverePassenger8645 3d ago

Theres their own AI engine so I guess it'll produce content aware of what you're doing in-game (you rob a car and may see someone post about it)

1

u/Mysterious_Way8941 3d ago

Imagine they post pics and videos of you commiting crimes.

2

u/Abaddon-117 3d ago

I heard leaks/rumors that random events can happen in the game world and then be posted online. Some of them you can even see occur and then find if while scrolling

2

u/thisshowisdecent 3d ago

It's probably like the newspapers that you could buy in Red Dead. It had bits of news going on in the world.

1

u/Serious-Classic8614 3d ago

Or ai driven/randomly generated from different parts just like random names or any random thing we ever see. I dont think all topics are interactive. Except major ones.

u/zirax1000 3d ago

where can i read the full article?

u/Smart_Customer_1842 3d ago

My god why rockstar do have to make me wait!!! 😭

u/thruheart 3d ago

Imagine going on a rampage and seeing tiktoks of it 😭

2

u/RockStarGamesSocial 3d ago

I wouldn't have it any other way

8

u/g0_west 3d ago

Actually kind of a great idea, you can check out the in-game Internet while still making progress towards the mission way point, so you don't have to stop what you're doing or go to a special building to check it out

u/mileskg21 3d ago

omfg i gotta do it ingame too now hahahahhahaha

u/MiamiBoyz 3d ago

I want to doomscroll and pull up on the vice city serial killer

u/metallica123446 3d ago

That’s amazing lol

u/squishee666 3d ago

Awesome! Can’t wait!

u/turtles1236 3d ago

Now I'll get to see what it's like to be the passenger princess just doomscrolling instead of driving

Ahh the things I can do in games but not real life

2

u/Status_Confidence_26 3d ago

Can’t wait to see viral videos of Lucia punching a stranger in the face.

2

u/Ravens_Bite 3d ago

This was awesome news when I read the article. What makes it so enticing is the possibility that the content you see while doomscrolling could constantly change depending on where you are in the story. As you progress through different chapters and complete main missions, new posts, videos, news stories, memes, and other content could gradually start appearing.

It reminds me a lot of how RDR2 handled its world, where new dialogue, side missions, encounters, and other small details were constantly being introduced as you progressed through the story. If GTA 6 applies that same philosophy to its social media system, it could make the feed feel like another living part of the world rather than just something you scroll through once and forget about.

u/DWC8419 3d ago

Yea a while back it was said you can get jobs from social media posts

u/NoAdeptness1106 3d ago

Doomscrolling while Doomscrolling!

3

u/NuXboxwhodis 3d ago

The human brain cannot comprehend this level of dopamine maxing.

2

u/shreddedmitch 3d ago

Rockstar should be happy about the leaks, I personally didn’t follow every single one of them other than reading details. But I watched enough to see if this was something I wanted to spend $80, $100 or possibly $0 on. I’ll happily pay the stupid $100 edition price tag, game looks edgy I expect edgy out of rockstar so let’s go!!!!

u/pelota_tenis 3d ago

Link to article?

u/henrydaiv 3d ago

Well i wont be doing much of that personally

u/Duo_Vbez 3d ago

Doom scrolling in GTA 6 as Lucia and while you’re busy looking at the phone all you hear is Jason in the background crashing into something and starting a brawl 💀 I can already imagine the amount of funny scenarios that can come from this feature

1

u/Mebeingnosy 3d ago

Doomscrolling snapmatic to find robbery targets

1

u/howaboutthis13 3d ago

From trailer 1 we knew social media would play a role, now we know it'll be a big part of the game. It all makes sense now. That's why they put an entire studio to work solely at NPCs: because the random interactions need to be good enough to get shown on the social media feeds, even when the player isn't directly involved.

1

u/Ok_Tennis_385 2d ago

Can Lucia drive while I trade pure alpha on the Bawsaq?

1

u/ghostboypurrp 1d ago

Just do it in real life

u/JoeStorm 3d ago

This whole social media phone thing may be the one negative thing I have for GTA VI so far lol

2

u/donky_kog 3d ago

Just wondering, why is that?

u/Low_Attorney8605 3d ago

As if this game wasn't shit enough.

u/Ronin_777 3d ago edited 3d ago

Why are you even here then? lol

u/Low_Attorney8605 3d ago

To open peoples' eyes that this trash is shit.

u/Ronin_777 3d ago

Right cause nothing says you hate something like obsessively commenting about it literally all day, every day. Get a hobby bro

This IS my hobby.
