They blocked Linux on gta 5, so I lost interest in gta 6. Hurts me, but their greed with gta online kind of killed the series for me.

[–] Bruhh@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They only blocked online. Can still play single player on linux.

[–] Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I played single player thousands of hours since the Xbox 360. I own maybe 10 copies of gta 5. Sad they never released the DLC.

Maybe in 5 years when it’s $20 I might pick it up. But the hype isn’t there for me anymore.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Only reason I’m replaying single player is they released the Enhanced Edition for free on Steam if you already owned it.

[–] stom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

"Sad they never released the doc"

They released hundreds of updates and god knows how much extra content, what DLC were you wanting?

[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The character animation looks mediocre, like they haven't updated their mo-cap rigs in 15 years. The facial animation is also way behind the state of the art. For a 2026 AAA game, it's disappointing.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

eh who cares, as long as gameplay's good I'll get it in 10 years when it'll be ported to PC and price has gone down reasonably

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it's too bad it's console only for now.

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I was going to say the same thing about the facial animations. On one hand it gives it that signature rockstar feel while on the other feels very outdated and immersion breaking.

HOWEVER, this will not stop me from playing.

[–] JabbaTheThott@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

This looks great. I'm really excited

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

It’s funny how detailed the graphics are and then the keypad of the till is just a flat texture.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So half that trailer was the intro cutscene and the rest was just a bunch of random story cut scenes tossed in there. I'm not really excited for this.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Honestly this looks disappointing but prob the perfect game for the bread & circuses crowd.

[–] qwestjest78@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

It will be like 13 years since GTA V. We should be on GTA VII almost right now, but here we are.

[+] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com -6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Holy crap, that's some next-level photo-realism they were able to achieve on... reads notes PS5! 🤯 The story and gameplay look promising as well.

[–] Koen967@feddit.nl 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What gameplay?

[–] WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I bet it's the same mediocre gameplay as GTAV and RDR2. Clunky and unpolished

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.bascul.in 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doesn't tell much about its story and gameplay, but the graphics are indeed really impressive

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's bonnie and clyde. it's crime plus romance.

Gameplay : it's GTA. You can probably swap between the two characters.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My main complaint about GTA V is I hated the characters, but these two look a lot more likeable.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

My main complaint about GTA V is that

it was formulaic and overstayed its welcome. I got up to "bury the hatchet" and just stopped.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I bailed on it a couple times, but kept coming back because people said it was so good. I ended up forcing myself to finish it so I could stop feeling like I was missing something, and I haven't touched it since.

I much preferred GTA IV, which people seem to hate. Idk, I just felt like Niko was more interesting to play as vs any of the three characters from V. Franklin had promise, but his arc was ultimately disappointing.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it just got more generic as the series/time through the game went on. I am not a "heist" or "generic crime" guy, unless it's presented as a farce, and it just started to be by the numbers and serious by that point.

Like, if we look at GTA SA, the first third is a 90s gangsta thing. OK. The second two thirds are more in line with GTA's colourful characters and irreverent style.

4 was brown and stuff, but it was different to the series. Niko was genuine, dark and caught in a shitty , weird situation. I tried with the DLC packs, but they didn't stick, probably because I tried to do them in order, and Lost and Damned was again, too heavy.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

And even for a heist game, it had relatively few heists. But yeah, it really could use more satire or at least likeable characters, the story and characters as presented weren't very engaging IMO.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They dropped the ball with the characters completely, I have no idea why they just didn't do "Tommy Vercetti, Claude, CJ". Same thing with 6, why not just put Catalina in there?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Tommy Vercetti, Claude

These two are in very different physical areas and would be very old by GTA Vs timeline. If CJ were there, it would devolve into a repeat of SA, no? He'd want to revitalize Grove Street, not rob banks.

I think their characters were fine, they just needed some work:

Michael - super bland, so maybe just need more satire about suburban fantasies or something; perhaps could've been replaced with a retired Claude or Tommy, idk, I just thought he was bland.
Franklin - early on, he said he wanted to run a car dealership, why did that dream die? I would've loved more car theft missions, and maybe a mini management sim (hire sales people, sell modded cars, etc)
Trevor - more conflict with local drug groups, maybe a turf war like SA? Or maybe drug running minigames? Surely he has more ambition than making cash with Michael

Some of the issues I have were resolved by the online component, but I am not interested in an MMO, I want single player GTA.

Where'd you get a note that any of what we saw was running on ps5? Everything was prerendered cutscenes so your mind will be really blown when you see an actual movie on ps5...

Edit: It says on the end it's captured on ps5 and captured does not equal rendered.

[–] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Title card on the end reads "Captured on PS5" and Digital Foundry were 99% sure the first trailer was in engine.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Rockstar is well known for having trailers that are in-engine

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Source on pre-rendered cutscenes? ~~Idk if this is running/captured on console hardware~~, but I can't think of a rockstar game that used prerendered scenes.

Edit- final moments do say captured on PS5. Phew we're back to people thinking GTA looks too good for real time. Nature is healing.

[–] TeNppa@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As long as there seems to be no claims of it really running on the hardware rather than captured on it, the scenes could as well be prerendered. It's not about thinking it looks too good for real time (it doesn't). It's just the cynicism towards trailers which don't show any gameplay and especially long before the game is out.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Its a healthy skepticism but historically speaking rockstar hasn't toyed like that in the past. This trailer is in line with previous rockstar releases - they'll rarely go full "gameplay mode" (camera behind the character), but still showing footage from the game engine.

The leak three years ago, showing 2019 state, basically confirmed what gameplay looked like this is not far off.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Exactly. They'll be staged/scripted scenes, but probably not pre-rendered.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I don’t think GTA games have ever used pre-rendered cut scenes
