that means the ps5 version wont be shut down until 2030

MadLad1038d ago

Can we just get GTA 6? I'm 29, and the game released when I was just leaving college. It was a birthday present given to me for my 21st birthday.

northpaws1038d ago

I am really sad that the success of these online games delaying some of my favourite games, such as GTA Online delayed GTA 6, and World of WarCraft delayed WarCraft 4... -_-

Father__Merrin1038d ago

Sadly these gaas titles make so much money its suicide to make it all anew. I'd love to see a new GTA or a new Rainbow 6 that isn't online only/battle pass etc but I don't think it's coming

MadLad1038d ago

I miss gaming from when I was growing up. Before DLC was a thing.
Give me finished games, and the odd expansion pack.

Father__Merrin1038d ago

@ted I hear ya, ps2 xbox game cube dreamcast all complete games. Even os360 at least during the earlier years it was mostly complete games on disk this is all gone forever now.

PS I also miss the manuals

RedDevils1037d ago

It all start when M$ trying to compete with paying exclusive deal to third party developers and Sony start following the trend, and the rest was history.

Taero1038d ago

I was playing it when my first kid was born, he's starting second grade now :/

EoCx1038d ago

Man, I'm trying to read about game articles not have an existential crisis.

Profchaos1037d ago (Edited 1037d ago )

Yeah I know the feeling I was 18 standing in line for a midnight launch of GTA IV then again at 23 for GTA v but here I am now in my 30s and the only rockstar release over all these years is rdr2

I hate that online became the priority. Rockstar being the perfectionist they are also means ultra long dev times.

If online wasn't planned for things like rdr2 where it's there but not as popular as GTA online we might have seen quicker Dev times on more games

King_Noctis1037d ago

Rockstar from the past would have already given us GTA 6, Bully 2, Midnight Club 5, and new and quirky games like The Warriors.

Rockstar of today bow down to Take Two and their corporate wish.

Gamer751037d ago

It's a shame that they didn't continue with the Midnight Club series

MadLad1037d ago

I definitely would love to see a Bully 2, but I can't even remember how many times I've played through the Warriors. I feel like every weekend a friend and I would stay up all night playing through it.

GTA online is the worst thing to happen to GTA. It’s allowed the company to release 1 game a generation instead of every 3-4 years. They make so much money off GTA online that they don’t bother with single player experiences. Apparently fulfillment or pride in your work isn’t enough for them to make new games.

The last GTA came out 8 years ago

GamerRN1038d ago

We didn't even get a GTA last generation...

ToddlerBrain1037d ago

We’re getting the same GTA for a third too…

Inverno1037d ago

When you really think on it it's very disappointing. The PS2 saw GTA3, Vice, SA, BULLY, and 2 Manhunt games(?). The. PS360 gen saw Midnight Club, GTA 4\5, RDR, L.A. Noire, Max Pain 3. The PS4Bone saw RDR2 and that's all I think. Even the PSP got 2 GTA games. I appreciate that when Rockstar makes a game they go above and beyond with polishing it but they've definitely gotten less diversed in their library.

They aren't the only dev either. So many devs made some crazy things back during the PS2 gen that once we moved on to the HD era went into making one game and a couple sequels for the entire gen. GTA online isn't really to blame, this whole started with HD

FPS_D3TH1038d ago

So can we port our characters again soon? Pc gaming now but I’ve got a level 300 character with millions in property and cars left on my PlayStation acct

Profchaos1037d ago

Nope no word on this but I hope they enable it unfortunately given how rampart cheating is on the PS3 gen it's probably unlikely as they would enable all those players to get away with stolen $ via glitches that remain undetected.

cammers19951038d ago (Edited 1038d ago )

Who cares? Gta online killed this franchise. It's sad and pathetic. We used to get alot of gta games now it's just online content. Ps2 era got five games, ps3 era got a few and ps4 era got nothing just ports.

I'm so tired of online killing franchises. Fallout 76, elder scrolls online, gta online all spell trouble.

DOMination-1038d ago

FO76 and ESO weren't developed or supported post-launch by Bethesda Game Studios Maryland
A lot of the GTA Online content is not developed by R*North but instead R*Dundee/London

So whilst I get the point being made, it shouldn't really be stopping the main devs from creating.

Amplitude1037d ago (Edited 1037d ago )

@DOMination:

Yeah I'm 100% confident Rockstar North has been working on something. I honestly hope it's something other than a GTA game. Bully 2 <3 or a new IP. In any case it's gonna be amazing whatever it is.

Their games take forever to make. Not sure how long Red Dead 2 was in development but... I'm sure they need time lol

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

phoenixwing26d ago

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno25d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist32d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist32d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

Petebloodyonion32d ago

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
