You know what's wild? The original Vice City was a period piece, taking place in 1986, 16 years before the year it was released. This Vice City will be released 13 years after the last GTA.

everyone is mad about the lack of pc port. im just glad her ass is great.
Y'all have been doing this with every GTA release since the very beginning of the series. I don't know why everyone keeps falling for it. The PC port is coming; it always does. Most likely around Q4 2027, or Q2 2028 at the very latest.
Rockstar does this because people have very short term memories. They're banking on your forgetfulness so that you'll buy the console version, and then the PC version as well when they announce it a year later. The Rockstar double dip is their signature move.

I struggle to connect with any of those characters. I did like Niko Bellic, he was a “character”. Maybe it was his accent, his immigrant’s take on things, don’t remember, it was a while ago.
4s story is my favorite of the series.
The juxtaposition of the immigrant story with the satire of America that gta normally has meshed very well. Thinking of the internet Cafe mission and Brucie. Niiko as a character brought more than the flavor of gang members previous and after.
The GTA 4 story was amazing, I missed more dramatics moments on GTA 5, the closest I felt we had for a dramatic moment was

the killing Michael ending

Just cutscenes, no gameplay, as always with these trailers. Cutscenes look nice but that doesn't mean shit.
Why can't they show at least a glimpse of gameplay.
It's still a year away.

The first thing i noticed is the awful amount of TAA/Upscaling artefacting. Apart from that it looks good i guess. I mean its GTA. It will probably be an enjoyable game. But still: Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Take2.
As long as they let you turn off the upscaling I won't complain about it. Unfortunately there has been a trend as of late to force it on; the artifacting drives me nuts. It's always harder to to see in youtube videos though, since they are compressed quite a bit compared to live play.
Biggest thing that concerns me was their focus on pushing one into multiplayer in V. I'm worried that is going to intensify since it made them so damn much money doing that last time.
Either way, game isn't out for a year, and it isn't out for PC for probably two years. So, just going to go back to enjoying my Breath of Fire IV playthrough I'm currently doing. :)

I can see it now.
So, Jason and Lucia are together, right? Lucia gets out of jail and then Jason and Lucia start robbing again. Pulling a Bonnie and Clyde thing robbing across Vice City and the surrounding areas. But, as a result of their robberies, something from either of their pasts comes back to bite them. Maybe Lucia has some connections to the cartels and is the reason why she got canned. Or Jason got her out by doing making a deal with someone he shouldn't have. Either way, kinda like what happened with Michael in the last game, they're forced to work with the cartels and corrupt cops. And, eventually, it gets to the point that they've become so infamous that either the cops are cartels have it out for them. But, they offer them a deal. To either Jason or Lucia. You wanna live? Kill the other. If you don't, you're both dead. That's gives us multiple endings like GTA V. Either Lucia dies, Jason, or both.
If it's anything like Bonnie and Clyde, the ending is not going to be fun.
But it turns out they fake their deaths and the camera pans to a small town in mexico: "15 years later..." where you play as their child and discover they're both alive and well, but bored with their lives. They reminisce on the good old days of adventure before reading the mail and discovering a potential bank to rob. "One last heist, eh?" one says to the other before both of them smile and the screen cuts to black.
Hire fans, or something
Directed by Michael bay
Does Scully make an appearance as well?

I've never regretted a GTA purchase (admittedly I didn't get the remasters so that might be why...) so I'm cautiously looking forward to this one. Started up 5 again recently with the Enhanced version dropping on PC and man its still stupid fun.
Apparently there is a lot more info about the game on the official site: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI
It's not loading at the moment but it contains some screenshots, character info, and confirms certain locations that will appear.
The trailer looked gorgeous, possibly the most photorealistic game we've seen yet. I know it was probably recorded on a PS5 Pro, but the fact that it looks this good on console is wild. Still lame that it won't release on PC at release.

I appreciate them putting their money where their mouth is after delaying the game to next year.
Hope to see running gameplay soon.
