I remember being a kid in school looking up GTA6 rumours. And now I don’t think I want it anymore. What happened to GTA Online is vile.

Same here, the fondness I’ve had for the franchise is old and withered
I'm afraid to ask. What happened to online? I remember fucking around online with GTA 5 but it was just running around with others having fun.
The GTA's before 5 had solid story content released after the release of the main game. The pacing of the releases were reasonably quick between them. Then GTA Online happened, and rockstar stopped making games and started making money.
GTA 5 had story dlc promised and ready to go but then they realized online would be more profitable and scrapped it all. It's a real shame, there are areas of gta5s story that definitely show they were meant to be more but they just left it.
Sad thing is I've never paid a cent for online, played maybe 3 minutes of gta5 online, got griefed multiple times and left. Story mode I've played at least 4 playthrough and I would have paid another 60 bucks for a solid dlc.
Idk why game companies stopped doing paid story dlcs. They're profitable, easier to build because they aren't a whole new game, and tide people over as game development gets longer and longer.
If they're going to go be online route then I hope they actually have some story in there and it's not just casinos and buying cars.
Technically only 1 & 4 ever had story expansions, 1 had the two London packs and 4 had Ballard of Gay Tony and Lost and the Damned. 2,3, VC and SA never got any additional content unless you count the PSP games that used the maps with new missions.
To some degree, GTA3's story updates came in weird ways. SA and VC were new games, but they did have PSP versions that then got back ported to PS2 like Liberty City Stories. It was an odd way to get more content, but it worked. There wasn't a model for expansion packs on consoles back then the way there was on PC, but they did find ways to release more content for GTA3 and it's children, SA and VC.
People seem to think that Rockstar milked it, and still is. Lots of paid content and P2W, if I’m not mistaken?
Personally only played online for an hour or two, I much prefer the single player experience, especially the story lines.
GTA V was great.
RDR2 was brilliant, a masterpiece.
If you want to hold grievances over rockstar it shouldn’t be milking a success, it should be how they treat their developers and content creators.
But that’s an industry problem, not something specific to Rockstar.
Personally I’m happy that they take the time to make these great games instead of rushing out a title every year like some companies do, but on the other hand it was really awesome how GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas came out in rapid succession of each other and each game was bigger, better, and technically better than the previous one.
Then GTA IV and RDR came fairly quickly after that, then we got GTA V in 2013.
At some point the scope and ambition just got so big that these games now takes 8 or so years to make (RDR2).
I’m looking forward to GTA VI. And I would be surprised if it doesn’t break the $1 billion opening sale (3 first days) of GTA V.

People seem to think, because they did.
Yeah, personally, I'd recommend to keep in mind that this probably won't be as much of a GTA 6 as much as it'll be just GTA Online 2...
And they've completely messed up user generated content to the point of which I can't be bothered with GTA online anymore.
Please... Millennials will be 50 years old before GTA6 makes it's way to market.
No. Just... no. We have had no confirmation from the publisher, no screenshots, previews, begging for pre-orders, etc. etc. etc.
2024 is not in the cards. A top property like this is not just going to drop out of nowhere like Hi Fi Rush.
For a September or even October release, it would have to have already gone gold and entered production.
I think there have been like 4-5 "rumours" like this, I'll believe it when I see it enough with the fake generation of hype
Honestly, with so many departures of staff, including Dan Houser, Lezlie Benzies and Lazlow Jones (who in addition to playing himself in almost every game also writes a lot of what you hear/see/read on the in-game radio, TV and internet), I don't have high hopes for the game.
I feel like there's enough established content for a good team to create a style book and do a good job sticking to it, though I will say, I don't think it would necessarily hurt the games to have new styles of writing and humor come in but obviously they run the risk of it not really working when what they have has worked for so long.
It would be hilarious if the game came out and was set in some fictionalized northern city like detroit or something. I know there was already leaks making it look like vice city, but I still think it would be so funny after almost a decade of people going "itll be vice city" without very concrete proof
I don’t think any of us will still be alive to witness this game
I would be very sceptical about a 2024 release date. Unless it's really late 2024 like November or December.
Rockstar like to drum up a huge amount of hype about their games by having about a 6 month long dramfest before release. Remember how many videos were on YouTube back before the release of GTA V. I can still remember them I can still remember how they would have a video all about how you could play golf or tennis (Which is really boring and no one plays).
If we haven't even got word of a announcement about an announcement yet I'll be sceptical that we're going to see it this side of the next 12 months. If they'd started talking about it by now then sure maybe we'd get it in 2024 but they haven't even done that yet.
It's actually crazy that GTA V is already ten years old. That was one of my first big anticipated titles. It felt like such a defining moment back then. Now it's two console generations later and we still have no real indication for GTA V or Elder Scrolls 6. I hope they're going to be equally as impressive as their predecessors.
Even that seems mad to me, I remember the hype when GTAIV came out and buying it that evening after work. That doesn't seem long ago, so the gap between them two feels comparitavely short
