Nice to see you back, Shaun.

I can't wait.

When do we think release could be? Summer/Autumn '24 or next Christmas? The latter probably.

Hopefully not 2025.

I reckon October if 2024. Game spending globally "peaks" in November so for maximum sales they really want to release just before that "pre Christmas" window.

The power of Christmas . Chart below shows monthly games sales in the US over a couple of years... those red peaks are November/December

November/December is the peak discount period with black friday and christmas sales. So it's not as simple as saying games are purchased for Christmas. For a new game, you want to be outwith that period because there is less competition from other vendors

Trailer on December 5th.

I would've liked at least a basic synopsis of the plot in the trailer, I understand that gameplay footage would be unrealistic at this stage of development, but the vibe of what the Game is going for would've been nice.

Instead I just saw a lot of dancing and random events away from the main characters at certain parts of the trailer.

I'm hoping for the Game to be good, but I am worried that modern western sensibilities will nuke it's quality, and so far nothing on the first trailer has made me change my mind.

[Mystic Mock]

Just to add I was just watching a bunch of YouTubers reactions to the trailer, and of course reading the comments, and there is a lot of excitement for it on there.

I honestly hope that these people don't end up disappointed with it, I personally would've liked Rockstar to have not touched GTA again and leave it's legacy of being the "edgiest Game alive" in tact, because as weird as it is to say, but Rockstar are going after one of my favourite childhood franchises here, I loved in particular playing Vice City and San Andreas as a kid, and they weren't afraid to say or do offensive things, and have creative missions, something that I'm not entirely confident that the 2023 crew can pull off.

I mean I still am remembering Cyberpunk's chat-A-thon segments with all of the Starbuck wannabes, which I can just unfortunately picture GTA VI being exactly like that.

I honestly pray that I'm wrong, but western entertainment is lame nowadays, and I could even see Rockstar trying to "educate" us on why previous GTA Games were "bad" instead of trying to be entertaining, I can honestly picture it.

I'll honestly be very happy if I hear something on one of the Radio Stations as iconic as "I think I've just shot my baby" as it requires an actual sense of humour (a morbid one) but still one nonetheless.

Well, for one I don't think it ever really had the reputation of the edgiest game, at least not since GTA 1 on the PSX when the boomers had their pants in a twist that you could "steal cars and run people down" in top-down mode .

I also just have to say, I would be very, very surprised if GTA6 has "gone woke". It's always been intended for an 18+ audience, that's not going to have changed.

Boomers as you call them have hated GTA all of the way up to GTA V, to those people GTA was the anti-Christ.

And I don't think GTA VI will be doing a Cleopatra or Velma (to use TV examples) but I could see them thinking that Cyberpunk's way of being "adult" is the way to go, rather than being what they were good at back in the GTA III-V + Vice City & San Andreas days. Which tbf by today's standards is probably pushing the boat out, but compared to what GTA V was saying and doing back in 2013, it's tame and going backwards in quality imo.

I mean could you imagine in 2023 any Game having a character like Trevor? People would blow a gasket if a legend like that was playable.

I dunno, I gotta be real honest, GTA was actually never really that edgy. Especially GTA VI, I care more about the story and gameplay than that lol.

The first GTA V trailer didn't really show much either

GTA was more edgy for it's time is what I'm thinking, like Doom it was the Game that every Evangelical in America couldn't stand.

And I get your point with the GTA V trailer, but to me I feel like that trailer was better than this one for GTA VI, the trailer has more carnage, gangster elements, and just the general look and vibe of a GTA Game.

GTA VI looks like it's got very minimal mobster content going off of it's first trailer, I hope that it's just me being pessimistic and that the Game is much more like a GTA Game than it's initially looking to me so far.

Btw I'm glad to see that you're still on the Forum Scarlett, you've been missed while the very long off-season was happening.

It's good to see that BB's return has been bringing back some iconic members on the Forum, and of course newbies.

Nothing will beat the VCS trailers for me. But i thought for a first trailer it was fine. Its too long a wait to be that excited for it though. "coming 2025" That could be almost 2 years.

I reckon it will hit a billion within a week, comfortably.
