      Y’all have been doing this with every GTA release since the very beginning of the series. I don’t know why everyone keeps falling for it. The PC port is coming; it always does. Most likely around Q4 2027, or Q2 2028 at the very latest.

      Rockstar does this because people have very short term memories. They’re banking on your forgetfulness so that you’ll buy the console version, and then the PC version as well when they announce it a year later. The Rockstar double dip is their signature move.

      I don’t even have a console unless they plan on releasing it on Switch 2… so yeah, it’s gonna be a longer wait and I’m okay with that.

      I don’t think a lot of people are going to double dip this time. This game will sell consoles, but it’s not going to make up for the deficit the console market has compared to how many PS3s and Xbox 360s were out there in 2013.

        I really hope this is true. The only thing that will stop Rockstar from the delayed PC release nonsense in the future is actually stopping the double dip.

        I ended up with a PS4 just for Red Dead 2. But I still haven’t bought it on PC and have no plans to do so.

        The thing is, the PS4 kind of made sense because I also wanted a Blu-Ray player. I still have it for that, so a PS5 would be an impossible sell to me. It’s like Rockstar tries to sell consoles but this time around is one of the worst ever console eras.

          So you don’t have a 4k blu-ray player? Consoles still make sense for many people, despite the obvious market issues we have today.

              Well, 4k is a great technology for gaming and cinema, highly recommended if you have the space.

                  I’m watching things in 4K and playing in 1080p. It’s exactly four times the pixels, so it’s pixel-perfect scaling and it looks fine. (58" TV and the sofa is about 3 metres far, so a bit on the smallish side. I’m sure a 65" would look just as good.)

                I’m with them; my 1080p TV still gets the job done and looks great to me. Maybe I’d be more invested in cinema if cinema cared more about what I want. I can’t even walk into brick and mortar and buy a movie anymore, and it’s not like there’s a GOG for movies.

                  There’s a time and place for 4k. It is not all the time. But some things are treats with high resolution and pixels-per-fov of your vision. Also oled looks so, so good.

                  That being said, 1080p for older stuff looks perfectly fine, and I’d argue audio quality, audio stereo image, and accurate frequency spectrum resolution is game changing, and arguably more important.

                  RE: gog for movies: that is a fascinating idea. What would that look like, to you? I’m very curious.

                  My tv is 4k, but I exclusively watch 1080p movies and series on it. I’m not going to double my subscription costs just to get 4k streaming, and most piratable files are 1080p.

                  Yeah if you care about cinema you definely want a better resolution and considering to buy your UHD versions whenever available, but I could say the same for some modern videogames.

      It’s coming to PC about a year later; chill the fuck out. You goldfish do this with every GTA release. It’s annoying as hell.

        What is annoying as hell is Rockstar not getting with the times and acknowledging PC as a viable option existing in the gaming space.

        Microsoft is pivoting towards it entirely and and Sony is leaning on it.

          It’s a double dipping technique.
          First all players are hyped for GTA6, some even buying a console to experience it on launch day.
          Then the PC release get’s out 1-2 years later and everyone with a capable rig know it will run better there and buy it again.

          Assuming it will be a 80€ game, they now made 160€ in revenue instead of 80.

          Again, it’s coming to PC. Every GTA game comes to PC eventually. Rockstar purposely waits 6+ months to announce the PC version, because they know people like you will double dip. It happens every single time, and you keep falling for it.

          I’m not saying that Rockstar is in the right for doing it this way, but they keep doing it cause you keep forgetting that they do this every time. The downvotes prove it; none of y’all ever learn. That’s why I’m so annoyed.

    Just cutscenes, no gameplay, as always with these trailers. Cutscenes look nice but that doesn’t mean shit.

    Why can’t they show at least a glimpse of gameplay.

      Because the game isn’t out for another year and it’s unreasonable to expect them to show current gameplay because it won’t be at all representative for the final result.

      maybe they’ll release the gameplay later, it looks similar to how GTA 5 trailers were released, the gameplay came after the second trailer.

    You know what’s wild? The original Vice City was a period piece, taking place in 1986, 16 years before the year it was released. This Vice City will be released 13 years after the last GTA.

    Apparently there is a lot more info about the game on the official site: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI

    It’s not loading at the moment but it contains some screenshots, character info, and confirms certain locations that will appear.

    The trailer looked gorgeous, possibly the most photorealistic game we’ve seen yet. I know it was probably recorded on a PS5 Pro, but the fact that it looks this good on console is wild. Still lame that it won’t release on PC at release.

      It’s definitely the most photorealistic game of this scale. IMO. It’s looking to be quite the feat, and worth the development time/wait.

      Sex sells. For a given character, their specific character designs are basically the only reason to be there. It’s like a third of the reason why people play (second being the game is fun, first being the game is affordable)

      You might not like it. You might gaslight yourself and others into believing it’s not true.

      But it is

      Look at Concord

      Look at Marvel rivals

      No one in their right mind would want to be, even less play as a 15 dollar Baymax bootleg in Play-Doh armor, or to look like an inner city gender slug who’s also Ronald Macdonald’s cousin.

      Even less after shelling 40 bucks on it

    Hope to see running gameplay soon.

    I don’t ever pre order but Rockstar is a different beast. I will be pre ordering on the PS5 and then purchasing on PC about 6 months later. Take my moneyyyyy!
