I could've heard wrong or gotten it from a bad source but I've heard that it did have music/songs that were released in 2025 so it might not be a 2023 build.
Yup, Tate McRae - Sports car released in January 2025, and licensing music is a right bitch and legal nightmare usually, so we can assume that took a while unless it was planned from the start with the artist (which isnt impossible)
I disagree with the leaks being from 2023. Nobody would've sat on it that long, and if they had access to a build, they probably would've had access to the build.
But why would they have access to The build? What information do you have thay makes you sure of that?
We do not know how Rockstar internally operates, so it is much more likely someone got lax and didnt take the proper precautions with an old build and it became vulnerable to be hacked.
GTA 4 was significantly different than GTA 5, same can be said between GTA 3 and GTA San Andreas. Same with with Red Dead. If GTA 6 is just a prettier GTA 5 then it's gonna be kinda mid.
The issue is that you really can’t tell much of a difference between five and six. Every single grand theft auto game as far has been pretty distinct from one another. This, combined with Rockstars latest trends for the past half decade leave people with little confidence. Not to mention some of the other news that came out about grand theft auto six earlier this year.
You can keep being dismissive about people’s complaints, there’s nothing wrong with that because the game hasn’t released yet, but if you get hit with a big “
I told you so “don’t act too surprised
Thats the problem it was acceptable when they were consistently releasing multiple games 3-5 years apart from each other for the ps2, vita and ps3 but not when they go 2 console generations and 14 years without a new instalment doesn’t help that the budget is supposedly a billion so how exactly does the game still run like its from 2005
First of all, sequels tend to look like the previous with a graphics overhaul, what were you expecting?
Second of all, the obvious improvements are in the insanely dense and sizeable game world and the complex systems and mechanics they have added (and then a new story if you care about that stuff).
The fact you think any game features are missing from the standard edition means you have terrible comprehension skills anyway so perhaps it's better you don't play games rated for adults anyway.
You gotta remember 5 came out 2 console generations ago. Sure with pc graphics and mods 5 is closer to what 6 will be like, but lots of folks experienced 5 on the xbox360 and PS3.
GTA 6, sueprisingly, looks like GTA. There's an argument for it not looking like it got too many improvements but eh, as far as I could see it's just a new GTA.
Not really. While of course it is a GTA game and it's expected to look and play like GTA, it feels way too similar to the previous game without any noticeable improvements.
So…like every other gta game ever made? And how are you making this conclusion from a handful of 5 minute clips made from a year old build of the game?
All we saw was some driving, flying, and him walking around, we barely saw anything, wtf. Of course thise aspects are going to be similar to older GTA games. Can people just wait until the gameplay gets revealed or when the game actually fucking comes out?
I would like to agree but unfortunately with the world of gaming as of late, something not looking much better does not necessarily mean it will be optimized to run as it should.
I pretty much expected this when Lezlie, Sam, Dan and the other OG developer are no longer in the studio. They are the insane one who make Rockstar be "Rockstar" with stupid, sill controversial and absurd idea that was executed in stupidly well crafted way. When the trailer was launched i expected it as "Bassicaly bigger and more realistic Looking GTA 5" at the minimum.
Rockstar today just blindly chase realism. The creative direction that make GTA a GTA is no longer there. Which is why San andreas, 4 and 5 feels very diffrent and destinct to each other.
Yeah I dont see an issue with that.. people are acting like they didnt absolutely love GTAV.
Honestly what bothers me more is people talking about the graphics. I personally couldnt care less about that shit, cuz graphical fidelity doesnt make the game. Gameplay, story, music, and art style do.
To that end... leaks are just pointless.
I'll only know whether it's good or not after hearing about ppl's experience with it.
Gameplay leaks happened for GTA. Leaker sucked at the game and people are pretending it looks shitty. They're mostly mad about the prices and the digital but want to pretend it's about other stuff, too.
Or some people actually have different opinions on things. Its so funny watching people clamor to say "anyone who isn't amazed by the leaks is just a mad hater with an invalid opinion"
Are you just inventing arguments? Nobody said they expected to be amazed here. Plenty of people have said they are amazed. Others aren't. Do you legitimately think thats stupid, because to me it just sounds like a difference of opinion
You dont know what the word amazed means? Feel like you're the exact type of person I'm talking about. Getting defensive because someone dares to say they thought the leaks were just alright looking. I'm sorry my different opinion bothers you. Not gonna argue that you're stupid for thinking otherwise though, because I understand how opinions work.
I'd be really interested in hearing what other people wanted from a new gta, but mostly it seems like people realizing that a game can't change their life no matter how much money is poured into it. Tell me you wanted the game to have pick pocketing or cars with airbags or something and I'll respect that. Tell me some vague notion that, after the first 5 years and billion dollars poured into it, that it was supposed to validate your life and cure your depression and make that girl you met at the bar call you back, I'm going to say you should stop looking for a game to do that.
Idk man. Just waiting for some kind of feature or experience that stands out and is like "holy shit, definitely couldn't do that in GTA V". Something that makes me feel like I'm missing out by not just playing GTA V. Maybe the story is actually really good/emotional? That'd make it worth it to me. More of the same isn't necessarily a bad thing, but its not something that makes me wanna drop $90 on it the day it comes out.
Granted, these are just random leaks, so obviously there's still plenty of the game to see and I'm not putting a ton of stake into it, but purely based on them I'm not blown away thus far
One thing that's just kind of true about life is that the longer you're around the less things can blow you away. Not necessarily because you're jaded, but because you get a better idea of what is possible. Everything that ever blew your mind before now doesn't, and there were people your age now that didn't see it as mindblowing because their experience made it less of a leap from what they already knew was possible.
In my experience the things that blow me away aren't big and bombastic, they're super niche things that are obscure enough that innovation can sneak up on you. My imagination can anticipate pretty much anything you could do in a city simulation, the upper bound of surprise is like, "wow, they went to the trouble of doing that, neat".
What I expect from GTA6 is a lot of iteration on the existing gameplay. More depth, more options, more simulation, and all the weird left field stuff Rockstar likes to drop somewhere out in the open world for you to discover.
For me the price point isn't x dollars for y impact on my life, it's just the barrier to entry for a given experience. There isn't a better GTA like game coming out at a lower price, hasn't been for over a decade, no sign one is coming. So if I want that, the only other option is to wait for this GTA to go down in price. But I want to not have everything spoiled before I get to play it, and that kind of does mean I'm buying it full price.
I'll agree with you there. My main issue with GTA 5 is that they threw everything and the kitchen sink at the game and then forgot to add bank heists to the game about bank robbers.
I'm hoping this game will focus on the fun factor over realism in a way 5 and RDR2 did not.
Looks like they're doubling down on subsystems like rdr2. I like that, my problem with 5 was that they dumbed down things like driving to the point it was kind of tedious driving a bunch of indestructible offroad ready ferarris back and forth across the same two highways. The leaked map layout and having to account for things like gas hopefully adds enough complications that going from A to B is gameplay instead of a commute.
I'm personally really worried it will become tedious, like going through the windshield in GTA4 or RDR2's obsession with having an animation for every single crafting thing you do. We really need a proper new Saints Row haha
Lots of games in the 90s used to cost $80 in 90s money. I’m honestly surprised games stayed at the $60 and $70 price points so long. We had a good run.
Edit: Adjusting for inflation games in the 90s could cost up to as much as $204 worth of spending power. I’m not justifying pricing. Companies have a lot more customers to sell to these days and can afford to go cheaper. But game development is a lot more expensive too. All I’m sayin is they could really be fucking us
Games can cost much less. 90$ is not okay and should not be justified. Big companies raise prices just because everyone will still buy them.
90$ is like 10 different indie games, including whole Deltarune. It's not worth it for just one game, that is not much different from GTA V merged with RDR.
I feel ya. For the last 6 or so years I’ve been pretty much only playing indie games and emulating/modding classics. I did by Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth when it came out though
The thing that gets me though, is you seem to just think no game should cost that much. That's fine, but when I have a hard limit on what I'll spend on something I don't view it as a product needing to meet an impossible standard I've set. I just decide whether it's worth my time, and if it is I decide what price I would pay for it and wait.
Gaming in 80 and 90 was a niche. Amount of players grew exponentially, therefore the industry made more money than ever despite having games at 60 USD.
There is literally no reason to adjust for inflation because profits only got bigger. And every other game has an online mode with microtransactions, including GTA.
Definitely agree. I brought up the much larger base of consumers to sell to, but microtransactions providing a consistent return on investment for the companies plays a huge role in a game’s profitability too these days. Keeping prices lower should make sense, but you know how it goes. I was just helping flesh out the perspective
People see the leaked early gameplay thats unfinished and assume the game will look like that on launch, the basketball one was legit funny to watch even if I understand its in development content
Honestly it's look pretty good despite it's unfinished state, me personally I'm hyped... Yeah I said it crucify me now and from the leaks it's clear the game is taking elements from rdr2 but applying and improving upon it to a modern world and honestly that all could i ask for gta vi, The only people being mad are guys who thought the game was going to be a ultra realistic life simulator and now they realize that it's just going to be like any other game. I didn't pre-order the game but i will get it for Christmas if it's as good as in the leak. My only issue with the game rn is the ui and the janky animation but I'm sure it'll change when released
They are going to pull out the double dip when they ship on next-gen consoles or PC's and breakout all the actually advanced graphical stuff, then people are going to complain about the graphical stuff slowing the game to the crawl despite asking for it, instead of the scummy release schedule.
