Um, I think the 3 protagonists in GTA V were perfect. The contrasts between those characters and the dialog when they came together is unforgettable. Now we've got a couple - great. Will I get busted if I go to strip club? lol

I think this might be prologue material and we might end up selecting one of these two to play past that with more protagonists after that.

Makes sense. Don't think they'd want to make it too different from the success that was in 5.

phoenixwing3d ago

i'm not really going to be impressed if we play as terrible people. nico from 4 was more likeable because he had the underdog immigrant story. if i play as a psychopath like in 5 i'll be dissapointed.

CrimsonWing692d ago (Edited 2d ago )

You’re playing a game called Grand Theft Auto. You play as a criminal…

I think the whole “terrible” people thing is overblown about 5. Trevor was the only real “psychopath” and quite frankly one of the best characters in the franchise. Franklin was more grounded in the “I’m tired of this same ol’ sh*t,” and Michael was great as a character who didn’t necessarily want to get back into crime but got pulled in and had to deal with Trevor and losing his dysfunctional family and seeing how it was affecting him.

It’s just weird to me how I see this “I don’t want to play psychopaths,” bit when the only character that happened to be truly crazy was Trevor and it added to the story bit of Michael trying to hide from him. I found him to be hilarious… not sure what that says about me though.

KwietStorm_BLM2d ago

Are we talking about Grand Theft Auto or Hello Kitty? V was not an aberration in the franchise. It was just the most recent.

andy852d ago

I won't. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

scorpio_20492d ago

I felt the same way about 4 and 5. I liked that Nico was a regular guy pulled into doing all of the stuff. Trevor and Michael were pretty much psychopaths but Franklin was an underdog. I like the rags to riches character more than someone who is a psychopath.

Dfooster2d ago

You need crazy characters to justify the crazy gameplay otherwise it wouldn't be that believable watching driving miss daisy take out 4 helicopters with a bazooka

Cacabunga2d ago

There is a limit into how much you can reinvent the biggest entertainment franchise ever. Then colossal funds to develop.

I just want the world to be more alive, which i have no doubt they will deliver after what RDR2 achieved 6 years ago!!! If they make an even better open world than RDR2 then we’re in for a threat

Lionsguard2d ago

So Niko gets a pass to commit crime because he's an immigrant? Nice.. very modern of you.

But he's not talking about the way the game plays from minute to minute. He means the game design and advancements in the game world won't be so big, partly due to console limitations, which doesn't really make sense since GTA V is a PS3/360 era game. He also hasn't worked at Rockstar since 2009, so he has no idea what direction they've gone in with the game.

I think it's a curious statement. If you look at the huge jump from GTA III to San Andreas within the same generation, and then look at the different between IV to V, there's no reason to think they would hold back or be hampered with the design of VI. Yet he feels we'll be disappointed.

TheProfessional2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

There was a lot of detail missing in V compared to IV though, maybe they could improve that in VI. Also the campaign had way too many pointless missions just to hear Trevor or Michael talk and the heists had too much set up and no real choices. Rockstar also got greedy and overemphasized the mutiplayer in V and cancelled all single player dlc.

The tone could also be more consistent in VI. Trevor was just a sillier version of Lynch from Kane and Lynch with no depth. And the comedy stuff with Michael's family and Franklin was generic and uninspired. If the Franklin campaign had more of a Menace to Society type tone and no Lamar it would've been better. Lamar is a total cliche and so is Jimmy.

FIELDMARSHALL_P2d ago

I agree about the multi-player but on the cliche aspect the whole game is cliche and parodies America if you look at it.

Gamingsince19811d 22h ago

@fieldmarshall

Yup even the first gta top down view game was meant to be cliches and parodies, I'm not sure this other guy gets it lol

Ninver2d ago

In other words more online dlc nonsense. Guess sp will have to do again.

Well game design wise, the series has remained mostly the same since 2001.

Go to location, watch cut-scene telling you what to do, go to second location, kill then collect item, or collect item then kill after, or escape criminals / cops. Sometimes you have to return to original mission starting point. That's their formula, don't expect anything different with 6, other than more details and a lively world enabled by better hardware.

MrBaskerville2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Dont't forget: "driving \ walking \ riding to destination while people talk."

I expect the usual extremely linear rockstar mission design. It will be expensive and impressive, but exactly the same as every other game they've made.

TheProfessional2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

That's one of the worst aspects of Rockstar campaigns recently. So much padding and unnecessary gameplay for obvious exposition. And a lot of it is bad or pointless ex. Trevor's nonsense or redundant Micah and Dutch.

The gameplay in those missions can also be tedious when they have you moving shipping containers or flying a helicopter across the map to drop something off.

anast2d ago

It will be a copy paste job...They don't make enough money on GTA V online.

1nsomniac2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The Rockstar dev team isn't Rockstar anymore. All the top dogs have left and we've seen from the last few years that the current team is pretty inept at their job.

They seem to be doing a lot of damage control this week. It's not looking good. For the first time in history I wont be buying this GTA on release anyway. I'll be waiting and seeing what state it releases in.

Chard2d ago

All the top dogs? I knew Dan Houser left, though I don't know if he had any input to GTA6 before he left. Sam Houser is still there - I thought RDR2 was still great so I'd be interested to know how many others have left since.

KwietStorm_BLM2d ago

They did their part on VI before they left. But what are you referring to about the current team being inept? And who's doing damage control?

BillyCrystals2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I'm fine with this. GTA V is still a masterpiece to me. I've played through the single player at least 4 times which is rare for me. But all aspects of V's gameplay is pure fun to me so the hours just melt away. I even enjoy the more "boring" missions because it's so satisfying to be hanging out in/driving around that world.

Ubisoft Not Worried About GTA 6: Other Games Out During GTA's Past Releases Do Really Well

Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot isn't worried about about GTA 6 and states that from their experience, games available during a GTA launch do well.

Hofstaderman3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Brave words.... GTA V has done well since 2013 to date. 11 years, Yves.

RiseNShine3d ago

Old man, now that it's even trendy, it's time to step down, Ubisoft is looking worse than ever.

Inverno3d ago

You've not had to worry about a GTA game being released for over a decade bro. There are games bigger than what Ubi shites out that avoid releasing around the time of GTA, that's how massive GTA is.

Demetrius3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I if I were other devs I wouldn't worry neither, especially since down the line rockstar will abandon offline support and fully focus on online only bs. Hopefully Gta 6 is made with plenty of depth and not just gorgeous graphics, come on rockstar come back and show how open world games should be.

DarXyde2d ago

Rockstar putting out a new GTA or Red Dead Redemption is like Kendrick Lamar putting out a new album: it doesn't happen often.

... But when it does, it's an industry-stopping event where you'll enjoy it and go through it time and again to really peel back the layers of the experience, coming away with new perceptions each time.

Ubisoft is known for prolific, cookie cutter slop. Which I would probably compare to Drake post-NWtS.
