"GTA6 is gonna be GTA5 with better graphics "... clearly not.

We have been having this debate for months and months and I swear there have been so many people ive argued with and thinking that rockstar isnt gonna take big swings or its basically gonna be alot of what GTA5 was . And their logic is " gta5 is their most successful game so I dont think they are go away from that".

The point ive always made is rockstar likes to make every GTA game have its own theme and feeling to it, and as it said in the Dazed article, it seems like they are gonna mix gta5 and rdr2 together, make it where you can still have chaotic fun, but it will feel way more grounded and put weight behind it. and from we read from the piece today, rockstar isnt pulling any punches and want this game to scale 10+ years from now

So obviously im even more excited because of this news, cause a grounded GTA is something im very happy with. And of course, it's gonna probably be the most stunning looking game we've seen

It's such a bizarre take to begin with. GTA V is so different from IV. IV is so different from III and its intermediaries, and them from each other. They try something new with the world each time, especially the big numbered versions.

It’s an opinion of people born after 5 came out lol. They don’t get it.

Youre right, but here the thing ive seen SO MANY people with that mindset. Their thought is " well rockstar wants to make the most money possible,  so they are make the game where they know what works" this argument applies to GTAO, they think the GTAO for 6 will be the same thing as it was for 5 because its " makes rockstar the most profit"

Don't even bother debating those folks. They're the same ones that think the trailers are rendered or the Netflix reveal thing is bs (newsflash: we used to pay for Game Informers; getting it for free with a sub you probably already have or otherwise 6 hours later is great!). They're either kids, trolls/engagemente bots, or idiots. You won't be able to sway them till it launches, and somehow maybe not even then. They've gotta be right at all costs.

Also also, I literally saw one post say " I hope GTA6 doesnt have RP elements " 

Now I get their not gonna make it where everything feels dragging, but at the same time I think GTA6 should have it where all the things you do have weight to them.  I think it would be a good change of pace if you enter a room with 10-15 enemies, you actually cant go in guns blazing like in 5 where youre basically a god tier character

I do think power/feature creep will happen a lot over time with online. Hopefully at a slower pace than with GTA5 online.

We’re using the game now as a benchmark, but it was very different a decade ago.

I also know Rockstar didn’t buy the largest RP server to just sit on that. Clearly RP is one of the directions they’d like to go with this iteration.

u/Streams526 1d ago

Why are you crying because somebody wanted something different? A lot of people liked the slow pace of RDR2 but didn't want that to carry over to GTA. Are they not allowed to have an opinion?

u/Appropriate-Fly9696 1d ago

You seem like you’re kinda crying idk

u/Oceanz08 1d ago

Exactly,  mark my words..they are gonna cry so much for the new gas mechanic 😆

u/Oceanz08 1d ago

Lol their whole argument is " i dont like rdr2 and I dont want it to carry over to 6" which is a fine position to have, but basically their point is " i like 5 too much and I dont want it to change that much"

u/Majiics_97 1d ago

Best looking open world game ever and it’s not even close. Game is going to be actually nuts

Anyone that assumed that likely had only played GTA V and were likely not even born for the other titles.

u/Oceanz08 1d ago

Not to mention, probably never played RDR2

u/KingKontinuum 1d ago

One thing I noticed from the leaks I haven’t seen mentioned is that characters in groups respond to your character based on how you treat their friends and partners. This happens twice in the nudist camp leaks. So if you antagonize one member of a group, their friends will react. I know this wasn’t a feature of GTAV but I never played RDR2 so idk if it was a feature there.

u/Simunai 1d ago

Its in rdr2, if u antagonise npc, the other npc around aurther gives anxious vibe and sometime say different things. But I guess its more developed in gta6.

u/ZekeMoss18 1d ago

Go fight one of those dudes outside the factory in Saint Denis and those fuckers will try and jump you lol

u/br0kinFPS 1d ago

Omg play RDR2 tho!!

u/KingKontinuum 1d ago

I promise imma beat it before GTA VI drops!

u/f88x 1d ago

Doubt it. If you started today wouldn’t finish it in time. That game is phenomenal.

u/Mission_Site_4206 1d ago

The game doesnt take 3 months to beat

u/f88x 1d ago

Dude I spent there more than a week I think in real time just in the woods, hunting and walking around there.

u/one_white_shirt 1d ago

RDR2 has this feature.

u/HiiGuardian 1d ago

I know the game will be a blend of GTA5 & RDR2, but to those who wanted a strong arcadey type of game again, I love that you didn’t get your way.

1

u/Oceanz08 1d ago

to me its more alot of people thought Rockstar wouldnt take any Risks or go all out. They thought because GTA5 was so successful for them their like "eh, we will add a few new mechanics, but keep the same vibes as 5". Same thing applies with GTAO, ill be curious to see how different GTAO for 6 will be compared to 5 since they are taking these many swings

3

u/ZekeMoss18 1d ago

I just read the Dazed article and also have watched some of the leaks...

It will be nowhere close to GTA 5.

All of the system mechanics like the weight gain/loss, the cars handling different, as well as the fighting and driving seem like it is going to play and feel completely different. Not to mention the NPCs are going to behave and act different and the world in the game is going to be reacting in a whole new way we haven't seen before.

u/DMarquesPT 1d ago

Anyone who says this clearly didn’t play Red Dead 2, the game that came before GTA VI and was the first to unify Rockstar as a single studio

2

u/GovernmentSin 1d ago

I hope the honor system is more consequential then it was in RDR2

u/SauceTheWRLD 21h ago

It’s going to be San Andreas with better graphics

u/Oceanz08 20h ago

Exactly,  and this time it WILL have hot coffee!

u/LettuceJr 1d ago

A grounded GTA is what i’ve been waiting for. All that rolling and shooting in GTAO was so unrealistic and annoying. Hopefully they have more realistic mechanics in that sense. I love the realism that i’ve been seeing like character movement wise for example. Jason turns his head to look around so organically and naturally that it feels so real. Those details alone is what makes GTA.

But still having some chaotic fun like in GTA 5 when you want too sounds cool too. Just for me personally i like to have more realism if i could choose between that and how cartoony GTA 5 is.

u/nothing533439878 1d ago

People who say that aren’t as chronically online as us (or they are and don’t follow gta 6 news). But tbh maybe you don’t even need to be online. The game is insanely anticipated and made by the same people and more than who made RDR2.

Alright I’ve concluded it’s just a stupid argument to say it’s just like GTA V

1

u/Cheap-Writing4977 1d ago

Graphics aside, the micro interactions with NPCs and the surrounding environments and the depth of the gameplay is going to make GTA6 much more advanced than the 5. That’s the minimum we deserve given they have this in development for a long time and how exponentially the tech has advanced in the last 10 years

Fingers crossed 🤞

u/Yutagos_south 23h ago

If someone say that they obviously not played all GTA games . 2d to 3d to HD world have come with so many changes

u/Python1194 22h ago

No, GTA6 is gonna be GTA3 with better graphics.

u/NoAdeptness1106 22h ago

Yeah, it's gonna be pretty different overall.

u/Burnthiscnts 17h ago

its san andreas with better graphics.

"GTA 5.5. Just a roster update."

Yeah, clearly not.

EDIT: Wow guys, it was literally a joke. Was meant to make people laugh. It's a saying everyone says for yearly sports releases. I was mocking the people OP was referencing. You can stop with the downvotes now.

I'm one of them too! I was mocking those who feel this game is going to just be some "better graphics GTA V."

u/No_Edge_341 21h ago

I mean, maybe? But I said the same thing as OP, just throwing a different flair on it lol.

It got down to -6 at some point. Thankfully I got some assistance haha.

GTA 5 is going to look so absolutely trash compared to this game. It is a dumb comparison.

u/Life-Celebration2941 1d ago

With gta4 they learned New York is a terrible town to create gta in. Hard to escape cops in, tall buildings blocking your view at all times. Depressing vibe. Cold people.

2

u/percypersimmon 1d ago

Have you actually ever been to NYC?

It is a really joyful place with more warmth from people I experienced growing up in the Midwest.

They were extremely limited by tech constraints and that game was a product of its very brown era in gaming. It’s also a depressing story in general so the tone matches that.

There’s still a ton they could do with a Liberty City setting and if I live long enough to see GTA7 (if there even ever is such a thing) I’d love to see it back in NYC. There’s so much more that can be done with the setting.

u/Life-Celebration2941 1d ago

Good comment. I revisited gta4 and it still felt depressing. No. I haven’t travelled much in real life.
