Does Take-Two even need another Grand Theft Auto?

If you work in games retail, it will be hard to forget September 2013.

Grand Theft Auto V launched to phenomenal critical acclaim, resulting in snaking queues outside stores and a level of commercial success that no other boxed game has attained before or since.

A few weeks after the game launched, Rockstar released a dedicated online mode called GTA Online. The open-world experience had some initial launch issues, but has since gone on to big success. The mode has been regularly updated and subsequently ported across to PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Yes and at this point I personally feel like they should separate online from the story and go F2P.

Online is alright, but it doesn't matter if it was great. It will never replace the impact feeling of the new GTA coming out with a whole new cast of characters wrapped into a crazy story.

That's a powerful goddamn tradition that has been set since 2001, don't screw it up now because you want to take the franchise into a midlife crisis, be thankful you have such a successful game for this long, especially from what it was the beginning, the 8bit days... Ugh thank god for 3

How crazy would it be if we get another Grand Theft Auto game that can sell pass 50 million units

Buzz7S3494d ago

Of course it does. Take-Two are one of the few Western publishers who do not give a s*** about "muh feelz" and as long as they are in business and publishing a game like Grand Theft Auto, as gamers, we don't have to worry about our hobby being censored or toned down.

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese39d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast38d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake38d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8546d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown46d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8545d ago (Edited 45d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole45d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name46d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj45d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
