Look, I just tried to think of 2 cities that were close to each other. :(

Not making fun of you. Making fun of the idea if the "big city reveal" were Buffalo.

Twin Cities.

GTA: Minnesotaaah

Well, I mean, there's as much chance they do that as set the next game in Ludendorff/North Yankton (North Dakota?) which is seen in the beginning of V and later, during the mission "Bury the Hatchet".

Toronto & Buffalo could work, or a pair of cities similar to it.... One city is smaller with the smaller map (easier to animate), then the character goes to jail, "ties up lose ends" in the small town and moves to "the big city"

2025. Fucking hell.

Yeah they're going to milk GTA 5 for all its worth.

Feel like they already have. Personally I’ve gone as far as I can with the game. But obviously people keep biting on any extra content they have so I don’t blame them.

Same basic principle as Bethesda creating a new IP (Starfield) and holding off on saying anything about TES VI other than "it exists...kinda". They know that TESO is wildly successful and want to take it for all it's worth. The difference is it's not a steaming pile of dog shit like GTAO is. So if that trend continues over the next couple of years, what's to say Bethesda don't set more of their focus on Fallout 5 post-Starfield and all it's extra content as opposed to TES VI?

Anyway, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes trying to decide which of those 2 to pursue next. Nobody's going to forget FO76 anytime soon, and anything short of the overall quality of FNV (which, yes, we're all aware Obsidian put out, not Bethesda) might not be enough to move it off shelves when it releases. As for TES VI, fan expectations are already through the stratosphere, with people wanting extreme amounts of innovation yet still some features that would make it more like TES III: Morrowind or TES IV: Oblivion.

Oh no they haven't. People are still buying the exorbantly priced shark cards like hot cakes, despite what a massive ripoff they are. Pay the price of a brand new game for one high end vehicle.

What's worse is you don't even need to buy them. I've never bought a single one, but I own a bunch of businesses, a garage full of high end vehicles, and all 3 command center vehicles.

I did buy the criminal enterprise pack. That's a legit good deal though.

A lot (not all) of the extra DLC has been free though. They're mostly preying on people gullible enough to buy Shark cards like there's no tomorrow so they can buy the new hot billion dollar supercar in-game. That's what pisses me off with R* right now. It's corporate greed at its worst. I've kicked GTAO to the curb since at least a couple years ago now, and I don't miss it one bit.

Damn...now my post looks redundant but at least we agree that Shark cards are the fucking worst. Everyone talks about Bethesda becoming the next EA, but isn't R* closer to that point right now? I would argue they are.

Despite the ripoff shark cards, gtao is fantastic. There is more to do in this game than any other live service game I've ever played. In an open world more detailed than any other. It's grindy, but everything that gets added is there permanently. No limited time events or battle passes that are gone forever if you miss them.

Yeah, that's true, but I also was extremely put off by and fed up with the extremely toxic community, and was just tired of trolls and other people killing me over and over with no provocation and doing other troll shit. I guess you could say it pushed me to a breaking point where I just could not anymore.

2025. I can wait.

I'd rather Rockstar keep their Golden Child status in the video gaming industry. Let them take all the time in the world.

OH GTA 5 has been milked for all it's worth. Now it's all about GTA Online.

Yeah, I rolled with heisenberg and friends, and people are a lot less likely to fuck with you when you're in a group.

I would also use a trick to get myself in a solo lobby when I wanted to run business stuff unbothered.

Yeah I did the private lobby thing for that purpose too. It's sad that it was basically a requirement at one point for making any kind of money efficiently because for the most part the public lobbies weren't really full of bad eggs.

Really? We're going to sit here and play the semantics game? Everyone knows which one is the single player game and which is the MMO. It's not fucking rocket science.

And everyone knows which makes Rockstar that stripper money.

*SIGH...*

R* is nothing like EA. EA is the worst.

R* is a developer. Their publisher, Take 2 interactive may not be as bad as EA, but with stuff like the aforementioned shark cards, and NBA 2k's gambling bullshit, they're certainly making a go of it.

The GTA (PS2) trilogy is coming to switch.

The trilogy is now coming to PS4, PS5, XBox One and XBox X as well. Graphical enhancements and modern gameplay updates.

Expected to cost $70 on next gen.

Pass.

LMFAO - not this time Rock*

I dunno. I might get it. If the upgrades are substantial enough to warrant it. And once that price drops down to $40 like the Mass Effect trilogy remaster was.

IF it's decently priced on PS4, I might consider grabbing it.

I'm getting it. Three games now using the GTA4/5 engine. Yes.

Might get it on switch when it's on sale.

Yeah but that's not supposed to be the main look of the worlds themselves, only certain elements will use that, while still retaining the classic feel of the games. It's a remaster, not a remake.

I don't know what to believe. There's big rumors that the graphic upgrades are minimal but the leaked PC minimal specs are for an I5 and recommended I7.

If it's just going to basically be a rerelease with modern GTA game controls...ehhhhh

That's basically what should be expected. It's a remaster, not a remake, the latter of which would be more akin to if they gave it the Mafia: The Definitive Edition treatment, which is not what's happening.

yeah...but if the specs are to be believed...those are pretty high for the trilogy.

It's just because they're doing the bits that will be graphically overhauled in Unreal Engine as opposed to R.A.G.E.

You'll be setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect any of the 3 games to look like GTA V.

looks good enough for me

Looks very PS3 and I'm okay with that. I hope they got to keep most of the music in Vice City.

ill def grab it.

Dr. Dre recording new original music the gor trilogy makes me VERY sceptical of the OG sound tracks being represented in full though
