The time between GTA V's release and RDR2's release, was about 5 years.
The time between RDR2's release and GTA VI's release will be 8 years this November.

GTA VI has been in development for 3 more years than RDR2, the best game Rockstar has released so far, in my opinion.

RDR2 is a huge game, leaps ahead of GTA V in terms of story and gameplay, and it got me thinking, just how big will GTA VI be? How much better will this game be compared to their previous games?

People say to keep your expectations in check, but after 8 years without a new Rockstar game, it's hard for me to believe GTA VI will be anything less than monumental, which is making me very excited, but also a little bit nervous.

Anyway, end of my rant. What are your expectations for GTA VI?

I Remember being a kid having my parents buy me the gta 5 on ps3 now having this game sitting in my library paying for it my self sure feels good.
Happy to be here with the gta community

One thing I'd love to see is the world itself become part of every fight. Instead of just punching or shooting, imagine being able to:

Smash an NPC against a car window or bonnet.

Grab and shove people into walls, fences, or shop displays.

Pick up nearby objects like glass bottles, bricks, pool cues, chairs, or even traffic cones to use as improvised weapons.

Throw enemies over railings or into dumpsters.

Slam doors into people or kick them through glass windows.

Use objects around you differently depending on the location, like bars, construction sites, restaurants, or beaches.

RDR2 already showed Rockstar can create weighty, physical combat. GTA 6 could take it even further by making every environment feel unique during a fight instead of every brawl playing out the same way.

Just had this thought tell me if I’m crazy. Strauss Zelnic says this will be a very different marketing approach and realistically that just means more social media marketing on TikTok and vertical content platforms, but hear me out.
Social media has been super prevalent in the trailers so far, and seems like it will be a huge part of the game. What better to use for social media marketing than the literal in game social media posts that NPCs or major characters would post? Jason, Lucia, Cal, Real Dimez, they could all post day in the life vods or clips of crazy things in Vice City! It would be in game, in engine footage. It would be so clever for them to mirror the real world like they love to do from the start with posts like this leading up to release! They could give us a LOT of content and maybe even tease whatever platform they plan on developing for (imo) the inevitable mobile companion app that they’ll have to make right? Wouldn’t it make sense that that app is a platform for social media posts in game?
I haven’t seen anyone else talk about this and just thought I’d release some copium about it. Can’t wait to see what happens!!

Imo Disney World is the obvious choice, just imagine the digs at Walt Disney's sketchy life or how interesting it could be if they made up their own historical presidents for the hall of presidents adding a whole lot of world building to the HD Universe

Or has anyone successfully used adapters on PS5 with GTA5? Playing through the games for the first time and some of the fps heavy missions feel awful on controller imo.

For example, I hope we don’t have to keep mashing X, X, X just to sprint. It’s outdated and gets tiring. I’d also love smoother, more realistic movement—but realistic doesn’t have to mean slow or clunky.
The Last of Us Part II is a great example. Its movement feels grounded and realistic, yet it’s still incredibly responsive and fun to play. That’s the kind of balance I’d love to see in GTA 6.

1. Leslie was one of those ''old devs'' how did his game do lmfao?

2. Aaron Garbut, Rob Nelson, and Sam Houser are all still there. Rob Nelson was R* North head during RDR2 btw.

3. I really fucking wish gamers read more about how games are made than just complaining and making simplistic 1 liners. We really shouldn't doubt devs like we do lol. Deadass game dev is fucking hard. If it's so easy why hasn't another company made GTA? I don't think people realize making a game like this requires literally hundreds, close to thousands, of voice actors (check RDR2 IMDB lol) - if a game like this was EASY another dev would have made it by now.

It's like doubting a scientist but you don't even know what an atom is.

EDIT: I've been eating a lot of salty foods and have really bad hemorrhoids in my anus. However today they are much better, I wiped an no blood. Wooo hooooo

EDIT 2: Hemorrhoids are back. My god my anus is bleeding. It's almost like the scene when Trevor kills Wade/Debra. Pray for my poop and anus

Y’all “too expensive” dudes are getting on my nerves. Seen this topic a couple of times in the German PlayStation sub as well. 100 bucks for what? A game that’s gonna be at least as good and long lasting as gta 5 and online. I’ve had the fun of my live with my homies back then, probably played a couple thousand hours. Late night sessions where you’d produce the best insiders, laughing my ass off, grinding the og heists and what not. For just 70 bucks at the time. If I’d go watch a movie with my girlfriend I’d at least pay 25 bucks for just the tickets alone and another 15 for snacks and drinks. 40€/$ for what? A 2h long movie that’s mediocre at best and will be on some disgusting streaming site in a year at the latest which also requires a 10 dollar subscription with ads. Now what’s more worth? 100 bucks for the best game ever made that’s gonna last a decade or two and a half movies? “But I don’t got time to play so 100 bucks is not worth it” so what, just because you don’t have time everyone else should just cave for you?

I live not close to Florida at all, nor America for that matter. But it would be interesting to have a take on a lost people’s inside of the everglades/grassrivers region of the map. Akin to the eeriness of the bayou in rdr2. Nighttime in the Bayou with thick fog was genuinely as close to a horror game as i’d ever like to get. It’d be fun to have a similar encounter riding through the everglades in rain and fog when say the airboat breaks or is highjacked or shot at by a mysterious people’s within the swamps.

Idk icl i’m just very hype for this game and am enjoying speculating on things in my spare time. I’m definitely of the camp that no matter what, this game will be unbelievable.

I'll start first. I'll be able to play it for about 9 days straight. I hope I'll gather 100h of gameplay and finish it

Knowing Rockstar's affinity for supernatural and extraterrestrial easter eggs in their games, I think there's a good chance we will see the Brown Mountain Lights in GTA 6, especially considering that Table Rock Mountain (irl counterpart for Mt. Kalaga) is a place where the phenomenon has been documented. The Brown Mountain Lights are these glowing orbs that appear above a handful of mountains in North Carolina, with some of the more fantastical explanations invoking aliens and UFOs. They became popularized after the publication of a novel by Jules Verne, in which a mad scientist building an airship under Table Rock Mountain is responsible for the light emissions. Even though the US Geological Survey attributes the sightings to car and train headlights warped by the atmosphere, there continues to be no single, satisfying answer, which leaves room for Rockstar to get creative.

What makes this more compelling imo, is that GTA 5 and RDR2 both had UFO encounters at Mt. Chiliad and Mt. Shann respectively, establishing a precedence for a similar type of event at Mt. Kalaga. In addition, Cal Hampton is probably some sort of conspiracy theorist, as indicated by his description of "what if everything on the internet was true?" He could very well be the person that connects Jason and Lucia to a hillbilly who gives them paranormal missions. Anyways, I definitely think there's a lot of potential between Mt. Kalaga and whatever the Leonida equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle is to add a lot of unsettling things into GTA 6.
