Since the GTA V reveal trailer way back in November last year the rumour mill has been turning quicker than the wheel of a Lamborghini. It’s slowed in pace however, in the light of the fact that Rockstar really haven’t released any further information. Until now.
With Rockstar releasing two brand new screenshots from inside the GTA V world in a recent ‘Asked and Answered’ post (the aftermath of which we’re still currently right in the eye of) it’s started gathering momentum all over again.
As Grand Theft Auto approaches its 10th anniversary, Rockstar Games is revving up to celebrate this iconic game and show appreciation to its dedicated player base. Ten years is an insanely long time for a game to remain relevant within the current gaming world. But Rockstar has proven that through constant updates and listening to fans, their games can last a generation.
It's still around because all the creative people who had any vision left the company due to mismanagement, greed (not paying bonuses, same as Modern Warfare 2 devs back in the days of old Infinity Ward) and no vision of what GTA 6 should look like, settings, playable characters etc.
GTA 6 has been in development hell since 2013 right after GTA 5's initial PS3/360 launch. You can't make great games without creative people and this proves it.
Crazy that with how big Rockstar are they've only done GTAV and RDR2 within the past 10 years
10 years and on three console generations and they are still milking the game.
No, I think you can still say it's being milked if people are buying it. You milk a cow right? So you don't just throw the milk out, you sell it.
Man, to think how excited I was when GTA5 released 10 years ago, today…wonderful times!
I’m grateful that GTA5 was a big success, sales wise on Day 1 with $800 million made and hitting the 1 billion mark by day 3 of its release of memory serves me correct, a groundbreaking feat, showcasing the power of the GTA name, it’s popularity and impact in the gaming world that knows no bounds, with continually striving to revolutionize the open world landscape, it’s always a thrill, thanks to Rockstar and their incredible team. But dang, that online MP, it’s a blessing and curse. Knowing it delivered some good times for my friends and myself, along with others all over the world (never spent a penny on it) but how people just bought shark cards, Rockstar just milking it, it just blows my mind how things could’ve been different if the MP wasn’t as successful or better yet, was as successful as it turned out to be, but R* hadn’t become greedy and changed when all that cash started to flow in from the online mode. Maybe then we could’ve actually gotten some other follow up games from beloved properties that they own such as Max Payne, Manhunt, L.A. Noire 2 etc.
Anyways, hopefully the money made from GTA5’s online will truly benefit both the SP and online MP modes (not just the online MP with the possibility of a changing world etc) but that the SP story/open world which I’m not too worried about really brings groundbreaking tech to once again revolutionize the open world landscape, while also expanding upon the amazing and revolutionary things that RDR2 introduced with the NPC’s etc. But also, referring to GTA6 there’s talk about R* having hired 20 people supposedly for just the new water simulation stuff that R* wants to accomplish with the game being set in Vice City, oh the possibilities.
Either way, I’ve been far removed from Los Santos and will NEVER be returning. I look forward to making my new residence Vice City, hopefully within the next year or so😂🙏🏼
We definitely wouldn't have gotten any other games from Rockstar as they merged their studios to develop RDR2.
Actually, when you blow these screenshots up to full size, the visuals only look a tad better than GTA4.
Sure, it may look pretty, but when the draw distance is tiny, and the city lacks any life unless you're within 50 or so feet radius, people will understand why a new generation is needed.
Open world games become lifeless at a certain distance from the ground, or even while on the ground because the hardware can't have all that stuff happening at once.
It was very noticeable in Saints Row The Third, and I kept dreaming about how awesome a game like that would be for next gen consoles. The graphics didn't even have to change much, I just wanted a bigger/more detailed game world.
Yeh it looks really nice for this gen but I would think and hope next gen looks better than that.
whats dogs looked like next gen, gta 5 looks this gen, even if it is quite nice looking.
Uh Yea guys,
Those images were scaled down and pixels were thrown out in the process. Up-scaling them to full screen(whatever your full screen res is) is not going to look anything like what will be rendered on screen... PC nor console.
