Immersive_Matthew, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I think the bigger issue is that the franchise is stuck in the USA, at the same locations, in the same gangsta American dream plot. I was hoping by they would branch out as there as so many other interesting places outside of the USA that are car focused that are dying to be explored. When I watched the trailer, I felt like I already played this game.

hexabs,

Far Cry covers the impoverished/autocratic nations.

dx1,

Including Montana.

Immersive_Matthew,

I was thinking more Singapore, Tokyo or for something very different like Ho Chi Minh(Saigon) or similar. GTA, but in a radically different type of city not just jungle and villages.

hexabs,

I’d like to suggest Sleeping Dogs 👍

mayonaise_met,

GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn’t do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland: My Summer Car is kind of that game.

But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting if you would.

I agree, London would be awesome. Anyone ever play The Getaway back on PS2? I genuinely enjoyed that game a lot. GTA but with cockney accents/Guy Richie, the game.

mayonaise_met,

There are plenty of over-the-top British stereotypes they could do that the rest of the world would also appreciate. Royalty, Jacob Rees-Mogg/Boris Johnson style politicians, Brexit craziness, chavs, Geordie Shore, empire nostalgia.

III,

London is the only city from their game history they haven’t revisited. Granted, it is the only real location they have used so likely that is a big reason they never will. But a UK-based game would be awesome.

mayonaise_met,

They probably shouldn’t have named it London in hindsight. But back then of course they probably didn’t know they were going to revisit Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas a couple of times.

Cool. Then I’ll pirate it at lauch.

PC is always current gen. When will they learn?

MaxVoltage,
@MaxVoltage@lemmy.world avatar

they did a long time ago the game will be online only without a story

III,

PS is always “millions of iterations of current, next, last, the previous, the one before that and the one after that” gen. I believe they have learned.

Likely? It’s almost a certified R* moment to forget about PC for 1-2 years and then release the (better) version there later on.

ours,

They know they can play on some people’s (poor) patience and double-dip getting people to cave in, get it on console, and then on PC a couple of years later.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This too.

RaoulDook,

Well the joke is on them because I don’t have any of the “next gen” or last gen consoles and I’m not going to buy one. If they release it for PC then I may buy it after it goes on sale, but I won’t put more effort than that to get GTA6

ours,

That’s exactly what I did for GTA 5. Patient gamers… unite!

Less bugs, all the improvements, and at the best price too.

doggish, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

The continued use of Next Gen for what is definitely the current console generation does make me pretty annoyed

telllos, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

Is there PC gamers who don’t own consoles??

VonCesaw,

Why would I pay $600 to play the same games but worse

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

My most recent non-handeld was an xbox 360 from before I got into computers. Why would I buy a console if I already have something to play games on?

amstafff, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

So? Who gives a shit lol

dangblingus, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I don’t think anyone with more than 5 braincells thought this was coming out on PS4 and Xbone.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Welllll…It’s T2 we are talking about.

Ultraviolet, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

Almost every AAA release has pulled the same trick for at least the last 10 years if not longer. Don’t announce the PC release until after the console release, that way some people buy the game twice.

Graphine, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

Honestly I do understand why PC gamers are upset. But this isn’t exactly news. They’ve done this with every PC port. And given the clusterfuck that was GTA IV on PC I’m fine waiting another year for a GOOD PC port.

Again I get it. But I personally bought a Series X when PC gaming was too expensive to get into so I take it that’s who they’re gonna go for as well.

TheEntity,

I doubt waiting any amount of time would warrant the port to be good. See: GTA:SA

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

The new one was amazing.

dangblingus,

That was almost 20 years ago.

TheEntity,

I obviously meant the recent remaster.

HerbalGamer,
@HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works avatar

that is not obvious since most of us don’t count it.

TheEntity,

Hah, good point.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

With mods it’s workable

RaoulDook,

You mean the Hot Coffee mod right?

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Heh. Maybe

ExfilBravo, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I’m actually ok with this. It will keep online hacker free for at least a year.

GiddyGap, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

Looks very Florida.

ProbablyNotQualified,

Almost as if Vice City is based on a very large city in Florida.

Son_of_dad, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

PC gamers are the biggest Pirates in the game industry and then get mad when studios don’t care to release a PC version.

PsychologicalCannabis,

Hey. I found a brain dead take.

Son_of_dad,

PC gamers do indeed pirate more, they’re also unpleasable, so why bother

CausticFlames,

Hey look, I found another one!

A_Random_Idiot, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I bet its because console players are far more likely to dump their life savings into Shark Cards 2.0 in massive fits of hysterical FOMO, than PC players are.

    Some PC sales are better than none.

    dangblingus,

    What does PC piracy have to do with console sales?

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    They want a year of solid sales on consoles before they release on PC

    Goronmon,

    Is this type of comment helpful for you? Are people supposed to follow-up with some comment about PC players are sheep and will be buy the game for consoles and then buy it PC when it releases there?

    This platform war nonsense is tiring.

    Donger,

    GTA5 PC players usually play on modded servers that don’t use shark cards. I think that’s what they meant.

    Goronmon,

    Yeah, I’m unconvinced that PC players don’t purchase micro-transactions.

    Gabagoolzoo,

    Good thing no one said that

    Goronmon,

    Yes, my post was hyperbole, I should have been more accurate.

    You didn’t address the topic though, are you just here to score points?

    Gabagoolzoo,

    "Hyperbole" is just a euphemism for strawman. No one said PC players don't buy shark cards. You made their argument look ridiculous by misrepresenting what they said. That isn't a good faith argument to begin with.

    Goronmon,

    I bet its because console players are far more likely to dump their life savings into Shark Cards 2.0 in massive fits of hysterical FOMO.

    …isn’t an example what I would consider a “good faith argument” to begin with, but I do apologize if my responses come off as blunt.

    A_Random_Idiot,

    I never said they didnt. But PC can be modded and exploited much easier than consoles can, Which can impact their sales of blatant bullshit ripoff micro transactions.

    Goronmon,

    Can impact, but likely not a huge one. Just like how most people playing Skyrim are playing without mods, most people playing GTA games aren’t going to bother with mods and modded servers.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    I’d rather mod myself game money than spend on MTX with T2.
    And the majority of minimal tech literate gamers are nearly the same.

    aulin,

    Just like how most people playing Skyrim are playing without mods

    Doubt.

    Edit to expand: I honestly don’t think I would’ve played it if it wasn’t for mods. The interface is so blatantly consoley and clunky that every action takes way more effort than it needs to.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    The likelyhood of a console player buying MTX and a pc player buying MTX is IMO more likely biased towards console.
    There certainly are whales on all platforms but mobile doesnt count right now.

    ABCDE,

    mobile doesnt count right now.

    Why not? It’s the biggest market.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    In this argument…
    Mobile eclipses probably all platforms combined.

    A_Random_Idiot,

    my friend, you need to have a nice refreshing bowl of chill the fuck out.

    Cause you are literally just inventing narratives to be pissed about.

    Goronmon,

    Just calling out nonsense when I see it.

    A_Random_Idiot,

    Think of your family and calm down and stop getting irrationally angry at your own imagination

    Goronmon,

    It’s OK if someone disagrees with you on the internet, you know. Your world isn’t going to end, haha.

    A_Random_Idiot,

    Says the guy raging and inventing narratives to be angry at.

    Goronmon,

    You seem just as angry as I am? Why else would you still be responding? Just downvote me and move on.

    kandoh,
    @kandoh@reddthat.com avatar

    Lol, every pc gamer I’ve ever encountered has to have the latest video card due to FOMO. The thought of only getting 59 FPS keeps them up at night, keeps them from playing the games they’ve already paid for.

    A_Random_Idiot,

    Wow, I’m amazed that you’ve met literally every PC gamer on the planet.

    how many years did that take?

    BigBananaDealer,
    @BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

    actually all it took was one discord call. they all answered

    A_Random_Idiot,

    Obviously not, since I have no recallection of this, and have zero interest in the latest overpriced bullshit video cards.

    BigBananaDealer,
    @BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

    well, we didnt talk to random idiots so maybe thats why

    EldritchFeminity,

    we didnt talk to random idiots

    every gamer on the planet

    So what’s the truth

    BigBananaDealer,
    @BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

    his username. look at it

    EldritchFeminity,

    I’m aware, I just couldn’t miss the chance to call gamers idiots. Because we are.

    quams69, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

    It looks pretty mid anyway, unless they announce dedi servers and rp support I really don’t care about rockstars played out boomer ass writing

    BruceTwarzen,

    I just can't get excited for gta anymore. I know some people are very excited and can't wait, but can they keep the train going for two years (or probably 4)
