Quoting yourself...a new low

Seems about right GTA4 would be your favorite when it had the Gay Tony expansion.

Location checks out.

enjoy getting bent over by rockstar

We should all make some sort of forum bet and turn on activity share and link PSN and Xbox Live to our discords. Nobody would do that, but I think this is going to have more FOMO than wow expacs, D4, wow classic servers, etc. And all those got people that said no.

I hate to say it but this game looks good and I haven’t played any of them except 3, VC, SA, and almost all of 4. Never touched 5.

TJT · 2026-08-29T15:17:26-0400

FOMO of a single player game?

Come on.

Aazrael · 2026-08-29T15:19:53-0400

Will my normal PS5 be able to play this or will it die from heat and 10 fps?

Haven't bought it yet but it will be a day one for me. Not into pre-ordering digital stuff really.

On that list. All in all it looks like they are going down the path of tedium is gameplay like RDR2.

You have to refuel your car and recharge your Tesla? What the fuck?
You have to commit petty crimes like robbing 7-11 to make money throughout the game?
- Comes off as just doing missions wont be your big money.
- Also appears like you can't do shenanigans with sports betting to just make money quickly?
You cannot buy houses or apartments. Only garages. Weird.
Ultra realism features like blowing up a safe ruins the loot. And you can look around most places to find safe codes to open then normally. ???
Forza level car customization. Suspension, bakes, big list.
Lucia has an ankle monitor (lol).
Character stats are in. A la San Andreas so you have to weight train and shit to get more stamina.
You have to use a variety of tools to steal cars, and some bullshit mini game to identify which one to use. Gay.
- You straight up cannot steal fancy parked cars because you need tools and skills to open them. WHAT FUCKING GAME IS THIS?
If you carjack people like you would normally, they can pull a gun on you and resist. Which happens randomly.
You can only carry like 1 or 2 weapons at a time.
You can doomscroll the in game version of Tiktok (I hate the future).
You'll run into tons of people livestreaming and this leads to various events (I hate the future).
You need to deposit money into a bank via ATMs or something or money disappears upon death.

Brother this game ain't going anywhere and it's likely to be the last GTA for 10-15 years. What are you going to miss out on by not playing day 1.

I got GTA5 for PS3 at launch and now we're approaching the end of ps5.

Nija · 2026-08-29T15:58:26-0400

Game looks to be phenomenal. Not sure what you guys are smoking. Buncha fun haters up in here. I'm playing Crimson Desert until this comes out. Day 1 for me on PS5 Pro.

If those are in the game, I won't bother playing.

So many things on that list are more tedious gameplay, not enhanced experiences. Some studios have already learned to put in "skip bullshit" options for repeat playthroughs and speedrunning but this is crap you don't even want to do on the first time.

They're basically just adding in RDR2 mechanics and "realism" to GTA. Everyone (besides me) seems to love RDR2 so I'm not sure what the problem is.

The only thing on that list that really bugs me is the bit of faggotry at #19. Rob is a lying sack of shit and everyone knows they'll be working on it up until the last possible second before they have to send the day 0 patch over to QA, and not having to make a gold master isn't going to make even the slightest bit of difference there. It being digital-only is 100% about Take Two being too cheap to pay for multiple triple-layer blu-rays and, most importantly, wanting to ensure that there's no resale market for the game ever.

That said, I'm not going to pretend I'm going to make some sort of moral stand on this one. Not going to let my hate for the worst publisher in the industry stop me from getting this day one, barring some other bit of news between now and November that changes my mind. At least it's available on Series X so I don't have to give any money to my other most-hated company in the business.

TJT · 2026-08-29T16:19:58-0400

Realism is what made GTA4 hella gay. They toned that down in GTA5 only to amp it up here again because of the success of RDR2.

I do not like that you are being pushed into serially robbing convenience stores with some weird investigation angle to find and crack their safe. But it is in line with what the gameplay trailer showed and also is reminiscent of masking up in RDR2 to go rob stagecoaches and stuff. Masking up here also has a similar effect. I do not mind some degree of realism but I hated it in RDR2 also. Tedium is not gameplay, putting mechanics in the way of the core gameplay loop rustles me.

Let me steal cars and do wild nonsense. That is GTA. Not preventing me from stealing a Ferarri because I ran out of key cloners or something. Like what is going on here? Having a limited player wallet and being forced to roam around depositing your cash from selling drugs into your bank account via an ATM is just. Ugh. Why?

I also hate the ingame phone and its own ecosystem of apps. That is fake and gay to the extreme. 10000% the MTX are going to be done through an in game app thing. I read that they hired PixelM devs to develop the in game phone. That is how nuts these people are.

Your In-Game Phone in GTA 6 Does More than You'd Expect

GTA 6 phone comes with Snapmatic browsing, WAINK vehicle scanning, and a physical in-game interface. Learn more here.

beebom.com

GTA 6 phone also comes with a new app called WAINK. Players can use it when approaching parked cars to scan them before deciding whether they are worth stealing. WAINK provides several details about a vehicle, including its value, the cost of registering it as a personal vehicle, and whether it has a lock, alarm, or tracker.

so I read somewhere that it's gonna run at 30 fps. Is this true? Jesus fucking christ, what a pathetic shitshow.

I wasn’t specifically referring to myself. But there is clearly FOMO for zeitgeist moments. Elden Ring was a really great example. Fantastic game but I know a ton of non-Souls players that jumped in because of the zeitgeist around it. Definitely more applicable to multiplayer and friendslop, but it does happen.

Drinsic · 2026-08-29T16:25:33-0400

I enjoyed RDR2 well enough despite the tedium, and this is being described as being somewhere between GTA5 and RDR2 in that regard, so I'm sure that putting gas in my car after driving for 3 hours isn't going to kill my enjoyment.

Ignoring the shit endings (which is the same reason I don't like RDR or RDR2), I liked GTA4 more than 5 so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me.

Yes, it's 1440p30 on XSX and PS5. No word on PS5 Pro yet, but the assumption is something like 1600p and possibly some minor improvements to things like lighting/shadows/ray-tracing, but still just 30 fps.

This is coming out 6 years to almost the day the base PS5 was released. The fact they got this running at all with the scale, scope and graphics they did is probably a feat of programming for these systems. When the next gen / pc version comes out it will run at a FPS that is more expected.

The most common PC graphics card in Nov 2020 was the GTX 1060. Good luck running this shit on one of those if this had a pc release same day.

Vorph · 2026-08-29T18:23:07-0400

That's true, but any game that can push out 3.7 million (1440p) pixels at 30 fps should easily be able to do 2.1-2.4 million (1080p-1152p) at 40 fps. It's not like there aren't plenty of other games that have offered the same trade-off, and anyone with functioning eyes will always choose the 120Hz option if they've got the TV to support it.

Kharzette · 2026-08-29T18:28:50-0400

The GTA games usually have horrendous control latency, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. There used to be articles on gamasutra measuring various games with a high speed camera.

Despite not being interested in modern GTA games, I watched it and it looks pretty solid if you're into that kind of game. I'm not into the whole drug dealing/robbery/criminal simulator myself, but I understand it's more fun to break the rules than follow endless protocols and procedures as a law officer.

That said, I'd really like a similar open-world with good graphics where you play a no-rule law officer, something between Crackdown and Judge Dredd where you're just stomping criminals left and right.

Open world ICE simulator in a world where world where the US has declared illegal immigration a high tier felony and live capture and deportation is "preferred, but not required".

It would print money......
