WWAWD GTA 6 trailer next week?

[Dr. Adam Cox]

what's off-putting to me is that the trailer feel like it's celebrating america's degenerate culture instead of lambasting it, which is what rockstar typically does. the whole livestream clip show thing didn't even come across as a spoof; that's just literally what it's like. where's the staggeringly unfunny satire, rockstar?

Completely agreed. It's the first time I've watched a R* trailer and felt absolutely nothing, but then I remembered that I'm in my mid-30s and they're not making these games for me anymore. Gen-Z is the target demo now, so of course social media and influencer culture is going to be a core aspect. I'm sure it will be mocked to an extent, but if all we have to go off of is the trailer, the tiktok/instagram/snapchat shit is meant to be seen as "yoooo this shit crazy fr" instead of "this is hilariously stupid and everyone looks like a fucking idiot".

On top of that, the whole thing looked like an obnoxious mess of trash. The graphical fidelity looks good, but the visual tone is just gross, with the brownish filters and clutter. GTA:VC worked because it was set in 80's Miami, which was a memorable time and place that's glamorized in American culture. Coke, neon lights, fast cars, ridiculous suits, and shitty synth music. I wasn't around back then, but watching Scarface and all the other pop culture shit from that time made 80's Miami seem awesome. Current day Miami/South Florida is an undesirable cesspool with no interesting or redeeming qualities. Is there a lot to make fun of? Sure. Is it a place that I'd want to go to and interact with at all? Fuck no.

Rockstar really love leaning into the trashy aspects of culture. They did it tons in GTA V and it looks like they're tripling down on it in this one. The whole making fun of social media thing isn't particularly new either. That was a huge part of V. I remember a mission where you had to infiltrate Facebook's offices to plant a bomb or something and had to buy hipster clothes first so you'd fit in.

Then again it's probably just an age thing. I'm sure zoomers think all the wackiness and trashy nigger culture in that trailer is the greatest thing ever. There's an alligator walking into a store! She's twerking on the roof of a car!! LOOOOOL

Yeah, it was treated like a total joke and was a relatively small part of 1 storyline. I think there was an app on the phone too, but it was just a set piece. Social media was one of the many aspects of 2010 culture that was parodied on the surface of the game, not a core component that was meant to be seen as cool. Obviously that's an assumption, but almost half of that trailer is from the "looking at a phone" perspective.

And of course the female takes the lead and instructs her boyfriend how they're going to rob people. Lol sure. Yeah, that's how it works. The girl is always the mastermind

Can’t wait to be able to beat up any male pedestrian in the game as a girl. Such realisms.

Fuck I didn't even think of that...

 

[aRTie02150]

Rockstar will charge you a fee to not have to play as a chick character.

I'll pay it. Lol.

 

[Clubber Lange]

I amazed any cunt is swayed by this shit.

GTAV already had the wheels coming off for Rockstar - for the first time ever, the single player story was utter shite. A meandering tale which went nowhere, had absolutely no worthwhile conclusion and managed to make Mike and Trevor go from fearsome to fucking ridiculous; whilst Franklin did the whole street-negro-surpassing-mentors bollocks and that was it.

The single player was abandoned for online. That was 2013.

Since then, Rockstar have fucked up the remasters of the 3D PS2 games by flogging abandonware from pajeets; killed Red Dead Redemption 2 stone dead to focus on milking GTAO whales and this GTAVI trailer is packed with coons, she-boons, niggers and wops (and not in the good way a la GTA:SA). Rockstar look to me like they lost all their creative and innovative nous when the big names departed.

Prepare to be very fucking disappointed with this game. I’ll stick with the Resident Evil remakes and Yakuza games, thanks.

Plus it’s a time issue. I work way too much to put hours into a video game these days.

Unlike your black neighbor

 

[Ants Hard Drive of Horror]

I haven't played video games for a long time but have they become real life simulators yet or are they still fun?

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

Or any of the stations. They were all really fun. The last two games had the worst soundtracks I've ever seen.

There was a time you looked forward to seeing what songs they would put him since it would be interesting picks / deep cuts. Not anymore!

 

[Voscabulary]

how have none of the gta's ever had a single primus song? if I'm going to be playing as a "yas queen, slay!!" girlboss, then at least let me hear dmv on the radio as I run my car through pedestrians

but I suspect we will just get more flavour-of-the-month rage rap like with what we've heard in subsequent gta online updates

 

[Jenna]

I'm forced to play as a badass latina? As a straight white male I can't even imagine going around pretending I'm some murderous attractive ladyspic and projecting my personality onto her.

 

[Stent]

If they make it a thing where black people do wacky black people stuff and it has consequences, I might entertain the idea of playing the game.

A black woman shaking her fat ass on a moving car? I want to be able to hit that car at speed and watch her comically tumble onto the road and leave a red streak on the asphalt. She should then get up and stumble towards the side of the road clutching her shattered pelvis before I run her over. "Oh lawd!"

I want to be a racist Punisher. Maybe a time-traveling Judge Dredd. Or just how Anthony wishes he could be instead of a mincing little fag.

This ain't your show!

prepare for your gameplaying profiles to be sent to certain agencies.
if you are going on random in-game killing sprees, make sure to not target specific groups.

Would be hilarious if the first time you did this, the guy turned around and one punch took your health to 0.

That or a guy raises his voice at your character and she loses health because she's terrified.

Instead of Health they have Emotion. You start losing control and can't do things. It operates much the same as when the character would get drunk.

It'll be exhausting.

 

[Stent]

It'll be exhausting.

When your character's emotion is running low she says "I can't even!" then you have to hit X for her to be inspired, brave and strong.
