I've been watching those again to get myself hyped up and now I really really want to play RDR2 and GTAV again.
I demand that this game have a weather system that actually depicts the weather patterns of South Florida!
Also, it should also feature heavy rain one one side of the street and blinding sunshine on the other side of the same street!
As someone who feels like it doesn't rain enough in games, I'm down for this. Let it rain every five fucking minutes.
And sometimes rain when the sun is out. I can't wait for all the non-Floridians to be like "the game is bugged, it's raining but the sun is shining".
When did Rockstar releases become a huge event. Wasn't really on forums when GTA 4 came out or RDR, were those gigantic releases?
They were still a big deal, but that was the last time that they ever allowed someone else to announce one of their games. After that they shifted into their current event format where they announce it on their own and then pick whatever date they want to show the game. I think it was also the last time they had any kind of presence at E3 aside from the GTAV PS4 trailer at E3 2014.
Hype that there's a date and time now so we don't have to specilate!
Sales wise could this game ever feasibly top GTA V in sales? It feels like the release of that game was perfectly placed to maximise a huge last gen install base then remaster on the PS4/X1 gen and PC for double or triple dipping.

Well the leak was massive and the character designs/outfits are about as generic as it can get lolThis game is so big they literally had cosplay before the official announcement/reveal LMFAO
I hope they do that and have returning characters too. Let's see Jacob again please lol
I don't particularly remember there being much hype for RDR in 2010. At least among casual gamers of the time. It sort of caught most people by surprise. Super anecdotal but I went to the midnight launch and remember there basically being no one there.
I feel like the GTA V reveal actually wasn't THAT big at the time either, at least outside of places like this. 2011 was a strange time because GTA IV was pretty universally hated for being "overrated" and "too serious", Max Payne 3 was shit on relentlessly for not looking like the old games, and L.A. Noire was considered boring by quite a number of people. You'd go into any comment section for an article pertaining to Rockstar and there'd be people saying their games are too serious now. There should honestly be a retrospective on just how much fans have 180'd on them, because it seems like only recently people have come around to appreciating what those games accomplished.

I think when Vice City came out. GTAIII was the first of their games to absolutely explode, then I distinctly remember Vice City and San Andreas being huge deals at the time. Not THIS big, obviously, but still huge.
They've been extremely huge releases since 2002 and Vice City imo. And Rockstar has historically marched to the beat of their own drum.
Historically, they never really bothered with E3, which for the longest time was the biggest platform for video game announcements (aside from the infamous Peter Moore "IV tattoo" announcement about GTA IV releasing on 360 the same day as PS3).
They've just been getting bigger and bigger in terms of "cultural events". And with GTA V being the most profitable piece of media ever, that means this one's even bigger than any yet.
I've always thought the loud complainers towards Rockstar from IV onward were people whose opinions aren't worth taking seriously honestly.
Half the population knows about the trailer just with a single tweet by rockstart, hell, even my 80 years old grandma is exited about it
Vice City was huge in terms of preorder lines. San Andreas even bigger. Though those were before proper internet trailers, all the hype was from magazines, GameFAQe, and word of mouth.
I would say IV was the first big break the internet one. There was a countdown clock that went "BEEP BOOP" and someone in NYC City Hall (it's been a minute, Bloomberg?) posted a press article about it being detrimental to the city before the trailer even launched.
This is wild, I know it's thanks to the leak, but it's like time travel cosplay/fanart 😂This game is so big they literally had cosplay before the official announcement/reveal LMFAO
I mean Rockstar struck gold with GTA 3 and never looked back
its easily the most influential game of the 21st century
Scotland's greatest export

Pretty much since Vice City proved GTA III wasn't just a fluke.
San Andreas, IV and V were all absolutely enormous. My school was empty on launch day for all three, and now I'm hearing kids are skipping school on Tuesday just to watch the GTA6 trailer. I approve of this absolute degenerate behavior.
After recently dipping back into RDR2 to finish the epilogue, I'm really looking forward to seeing a GTA with more up-to-date graphics.
They had to develop a huge game like GTA V for the PS3/360 though.
Pretty sure Rockstar internally aims for a late 2024 release date for GTA VI. And the chances that they actually deliver on that are much better this time.
I agree here. This game will sell crazy numbers but I don't think it will sell as many as V.
That's all relative tbh. They're likely pushing these system to the limit all the same to future proof the game. Plus there will be bigger expectations for Online this time.
I'm in the Team 1 year marketing cycle like RDR2 just without the delays this time
It may not, but the higher starting price of this gen will more than offset any sale dip from TakeTwo's perspective.
Again, I agree here. But their development costs will be massively higher also.
There is no doubt this game will be an absolute beast!
Are others devs meme'ing this or is Halo kinda wild?

Ah, so memes it is lmao
Amazing that a single picture already has this impact hahaha
Interesting to see the comparison between Twitter and Instagram. 1.6M vs 4.3M likes.

I mean Instagram absolutely dwarfs Twitter in popularity so it makes sense.
Actually these colours do fit right in with Fall Guys haha
Really? "All we had to do is follow the damn train CJ" is the epitome of restricted mission design
Lol loving the memes. It does feel like a massive pop culture moment happening
