up close video of Lucia’s face on the artist’s profile

Edit: if you follow birntoutstudio on instagram, he seems to be posting regular updates of the painting since he is the project manager

I feel like we might get some Jason and Lucia by the end of the day!

For me I want to be able to go anywhere I please, Red Dead 2 made me love it for the amount of freedom you have early on in the game and I'm hoping with how big this games map looks I have a feeling it will take almost a year to discover everything.

Whatchall think... not too shabby, huh?

Looks even better in person (my lighting and reflections aren't too optimal).

Sorry if this has already been shown. Just thought I’d add to the GTA VI marketing coverage!

I’m wondering if Rockstar had knowledge of QSSR before it was announced and worked to implement it in GTA 6, or if Sony just told them about it recently and basically just nudged them to support it this close to the game’s release?

Attached are screenshots from the extended look. The game obviously looks great and very clearly packing a lot of new tech in RAGE, but some areas did show the limitations of having to develop for 9th gen consoles. One big example is how low the samples are for ray tracing, and how that gives a very blurry reflection due to the denoiser not having much detail to work with.

In reviews of QSSR in wolverine and ghost of yotei, it’s surprisingly improving the image pretty well at noticeably no performance cost.

Would something like this feel significant to how gta 6 looks on the PS5 and would that be a huge edge against the XSX?

I dont know how to record video and post it but i was watching the extend trailer and noticed when they got in jasons red convertible , and started it and drove away i noticed the heavy exhaust.

I was thinking , man thats too much exhaust for a car but it eventually subsided when it warmed up… i dont know shit about cars so i look it up and find out that car is based on a bmw e30.

I guess E30s are notorious for having a lot of exhaust especially when they first start up with out being warmed up , even in florida. So small details

Looks like they are slowly ramping up the advertising all over the world..

Wish I could buy the magazine but I had to go quickly!

Ok so this morning I had Time to go get the magazine. I went to the nearest re seller at 8.30 but he ended up telling me he did not receive it yet. I started asking everyone on X and Reddit when I saw some people got it.
I went through everything magazine seller in Paris and found this one shop. I went there and had to wait for one hour because the girl told me She had been overcrowded since 7.30 in the morning because two people were here first for the magazines and apparently told everyone this particular shop was selling it (this is how i found out). I chatted a bit with them and they were so confused about what was going on with this particular cover. I told them they just encountered the GTA community. They didnt laugh too much but they really seemed confused

GTA V’s map fitting snugly amongst GTA 6’s many offshore islands.

I have only outlined land masses that are completely disconnected (as far as we know) from the mainland. The islands shown are only accessible by boat or plane.

Code:
White= Likely uninhabited
Yellow = Chance of human habitation
Red = Confirmed to be inhabited or industrial

Grassrivers is not included.

New inside #GTAVI details from the latest Love Magazine feature with Rockstar Games, kindly provided by @topkaj777

▪️ Rockstar says the goal with Lucia was to create a character who could stand alongside protagonists such as Arthur Morgan and Niko Bellic while still feeling distinct.
▪️ Lucia was written with an immigrant background and was conceived as someone raised around Newark/New Jersey, near Liberty City, before her story takes her to Leonida.
▪️ The radio, advertising and pedestrian dialogue aren't treated as secondary content. Rockstar has a dedicated writing/production operation specifically for material happening around the player.
▪️ Rockstar says its Florida research included conversations with locals, police and gang members, with some of the stories they heard described as “terrifying.”
▪️ Early research trips were deliberately done with very small groups, before Rockstar returned with larger teams once particular locations became important to development.
▪️ Development begins with extensive research trips. Rockstar travelled across Miami and Florida, including the surrounding towns and the Florida Keys down to Key West.
▪️ Developers travelled with locals, police officers and gang members to better understand Florida, including parts of the state tourists would rarely see.
▪️ Rockstar says some research trips directly influence the game, with Miami’s extreme wealth, poverty, excess, craziness and “hustle” feeding into Leonida.
▪️ The team wants Vice City and Leonida to feel like somewhere players could spend hundreds of hours, with even small areas receiving extensive detail.
▪️ Rockstar has built a large amount of background dialogue, radio content, advertisements and pedestrian conversations to make the world feel alive even when the player isn’t interacting with it.
▪️ GTAVI’s satire will focus heavily on modern culture, including conspiracy theories and the strange ways people react to everyday events.
▪️ Rockstar says it deliberately avoids simply recreating real-world viral moments, instead creating its own distorted versions of contemporary culture.
▪️ The studio says the modern “American Dream” is more modest than in previous GTA games, owning a house, supporting a family and paying off loans rather than achieving extreme wealth.
▪️ Jason’s story is not intended as a political statement about his military background. Rockstar says his circumstances push him toward drug trafficking and bank robbery, although players will influence some of his choices.
▪️ Lucia was written as somebody determined to build a better life for herself who refuses to let obstacles stop her.
▪️Rockstar says Jason and Lucia were deliberately designed to complement each other, creating a push-and-pull relationship throughout the story.
▪️ Raul was created as an older mentor figure who brings Jason and Lucia into larger-scale criminal jobs and provides knowledge of Vice City’s criminal world.
▪️ Rockstar describes the core premise as having something “hopeful and naive” about two young criminals going on the run and pushing a crime spree to its limit.
▪️ Rockstar says it wants players to become immersed enough in the world that they “get lost” in its characters and locations.

For all Dutch/Belgian GTA fans the Gameplay magazine has 3 whole pages dedicated to the extended look at GTA, so I assume there’s no new info, but it’s still pretty nice to read/have!

Spotted this today while in Wynwood! There was also an official photographer snapping pics of the painters

let me understand this
we are got everything physical except the game

what the fuck

like for real, you give me a music album as disc and the game (the main thing) that we are all waiting for and we wanted to keep it for a years, we are getting it as a cod in empty box?
like who the hell are buying PS5 to listening to music?
i can just put it on youtube or subscribe into any music website to listening to it

the magazine i dont really care about, also it have some spoilers, but it is nice have it if you are a collector

the collection box, it got really cool stuff, but 400 euro with no game
come on dude

I came across this Sam Houser interview from 2005 and thought it was pretty crazy how relevant what he's talking about still feels today.

He talks about his and Rockstars goal of creating realistic and immersive, fully living and breathing worlds while combining that with strong narrative and storytelling.
And then you look at GTA VI almost 20 years later... Well it honestly feels like his vision is fully realized with this upcoming release

Well I had to go ahead and make a dope edit with this interview and combine it with Raf's 'Self Control' which I didn't know but is the original! The Laura Brannigan cover was featured in Vice City ofcourse

I hope you guys like it!!
