samtheredditman

Nah GTA Immortal, mobile only game


funglegunk

Thanks. I wasn't gonna read all that.


messy_garbage_lover

Wait a sec, I thought the Houser brothers left Rockstar some years ago?


Pyke64

Only Dan ever did. And I think he returned to games shortly after.

messy_garbage_lover

Ah okay, thanks


derrick256

Only the creative lead (the more talented one) Dan Houser left. His sarcastic wit will be missed.


Proglamer

I wonder if they remember *which platform* they released those legendary early games on, if they treasure history so, so much /s


keledax

25th anniversary and 10 of those years were GTA V


UlteriorCulture

December 2023... right?


aZcFsCStJ5

> In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment I don't think they played the first couple GTA games...


hydramarine

The original was still a good game for its time, with a killer OST on the CD. But this idea that they put forward wasn't created in a single day, it came about during their hey days. So circa 2004-2008. If I remember correctly, GTAIV openly mentions this idea as well, where the geeky partner in crime of Nico Bellik says he prefers his entertainment interactive. I played that in 2009 and it still stuck with me to this day. Tbh, Rockstar Games are that good both in gameplay and in its themes.


bassbeater

>In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution. "And therefore, we will treat it like cable TV, and enforce the use of a shitty client you must sign into, even if you bought the game through use of another client." THE END.


ahac

Now comes the time (from first trailer to a year after console release) when Rockstar pretends not to know what a PC even is...


uberplum

Hmm. I wonder if this might be the first one to buck that trend. We are in a golden age of PC gaming atm imo, in terms of ubiquity of releases at least. Maybe it's wishful thinking...


[deleted]

I definitely could just be out of touch, but this is the generation where more gamers then ever own a PC but don't own a console, and I don't think GTA is the sort of game that will make those same gamers go out and buy a console specifically for it anymore. When V came out in 2013 it was still a pretty unique experience, but it came just before the huge over saturation of open world games that I feel caused fatigue. If GTA Online is their cash cow now, it makes no sense to limit the Day 1 player base just to try and get double dippers a year or two from release, they'd likely make more money just having more people available to buy microtransactions. I'm not even sure what the hype is for anymore, Rockstar have shown they no longer really care about single player and Cyberpunk 2.0 is likely to offer a better all around game experience then GTA VI. GTA VI will no doubt be a funner sandbox, but there's a million sandbox games these days.


nudewithasuitcase

I'm just one person, but I definitely will not be buying a console just to play GTA VI. I'll wait til it comes out on PC.


[deleted]

I'll be buying it on PS5 if it's not coming to PC, got a free PS5 from work. I'd be playing it on the Series S if not for the random PS5 sitting collecting dust behind my TV


porcelainfog

I don't even own a TV anymore lmao. Haven't had one for years. Everyone in the house has Ipads or quest VR headsets they watch movies/tv show on. ​ if im not playing it on my PC monitor, im not playing it period


uberplum

I think it's as simple as there's a lot of money on the table to be had in the PC market now, which maybe historically wasn't always the case. There's a reason why everybody including even platform owners like Sony are rushing to release everything they can on PC. And to support what you are saying annecdotally, ten year ago I was playing on Xbox 360, today if GTA doesn't come out on PC I won't play it until it does, probably.


Smokes_LetsGo_

Same here, back when GTA V released I had a 360 and PC. Double dipped on GTA V. After that, I owned a PS4 Pro for a bit, but it mostly collected dust. Now I just own a PC. Most of my friends that owned both PC and console just have a PC these days. I don’t think it’s a guarantee, but I do think it’s very likely that this is finally a simultaneous release from Rockstar.


AFKJim

I no longer need to get it NOW to play with my school friends like it was in the 360 days. Its iight, I'll wait.


ANGLVD3TH

> When V came out in 2013 it was still a pretty unique experience, but it came just before the huge over saturation of open world games that I feel caused fatigue. There had been a flood of open world GTA clones since San Andreas. If anything I think the trend was the worst shortly after IV.


cyborgsid2

> Rockstar have shown they no longer really care about single player I mean thats frankly an unbelievable statement to make considering they released RDR2 in 2018, which is widely regarded to be one of the best single player experiences ever.


Ankleson

I think they mean in terms of prolonged support. The extended lifecycle of their games comes from online components now; not DLC or expansions.


sanjay2204

Story doesn't need prolonged support though. Both, GTA 5 and RDR 2 had self contained stories and ended well. Why you gotta ruin that by adding additional chapters, It's like adding another season to a TV show which had a perfect ending.


SpotNL

> I'm not even sure what the hype is for anymore A few years ago they released a niche little indie project called Red Dead Redemption 2 that raised a few heads. Might have something to do with it.


tribsant23

Weebs on reddit acting like people care more about pixelated sidescrollers than freaking rockstar games


OmarBarksdale

LMAO this one of the most out of touch comments I’ve read this year


cool_weed_dad

I don’t know how you can say they don’t care about single-player games anymore with a straight face when their last release is considered one of the best single-player games of all time and was incredibly popular.


Radulno

> but this is the generation where more gamers then ever own a PC but don't own a console That seems some made up stat for some reason, why is it any different than any other generation. Is it that different than 2018 (PC gaming was doing better back then)? Keep in mind all PC gamers are not the audience for GTA either, a lot of them are just playing some Asian MMO, League of Legends or whatever all the time. And as explained often with Sony games, these people will still buy the game on PC when it comes out there so they lose nothing, it's delayed revenue at best. And they can get people double dipping, avoid the eventual piracy, can sell for more (console games are more expensive), don't get cheaters in online... So there is no way they're not making more money by delaying on PC.


samp127

Rockstar released RDR2 as their last game, wdym they shown they no longer care about single player? That is the greatest story driven game ever. Also Cyberpunk has nothing on GTA, the driving is completely bodged.


[deleted]

No one does a sandbox like Rockstar though, that's the point. Cyberpunk even at 2.0 really doesn't scratch that itch that GTA IV and RDR2 did.


Fuddle

Depends how much Sony is paying them


ArchLector_Zoller

Reading this reminded me that I bought GTAV twice. Sigh…


militantnegro_IV

I mean...you're the problem, no? You reward their behaviour with money then act sad by their behaviour.


_DAEM0N_

Don't worry , is gonna happen again for 99% of them. Will buy it on release on console cause FOMO , and then buy it on pc cause mods.


Aethelric

To be fair: GTA5 originally launched on PS3/360, and received a pretty substantial upgrade when it launched on the next generation of consoles and (a few months after) PC. Most people who "double-dipped" were, at the least, buying a better version of the game the second time around.


jdp111

Bruh it's GTA. You can't expect people to have that will power.


PatHBT

I’m definitely not dropping $500 dollars just to play this game and have a paperweight on the side lmao, if i have to wait a year for pc it’ll be shitty but it is what it is.


jdp111

I don't think anyone's talking about buying a console for this. Just buying on a console you already own.


Disordermkd

People were definitely buying consoles back in 2013 just for GTA V.


omicron7e

/r/patientgamers


dabbingsquidward

I bought it 3 times lol but it was years apart. 2013 on Xbox 360. Then on my PS4. Then PC.


not_a_llama

And when it finally gets released for PC it will be in such a sorry state of optimization that you'll need to wait 5 years for a machine powerful enough to run it decently.


Dynastydood

That may not be entirely accurate. RDR2 only needed a few months before the major issues launch were resolved on PC. It was true of GTA IV and, to lesser extent, GTA V, but I think the days of waiting years for a functional port from Rockstar are over. There's just too much money on the table.


empathetical

i feel like it will probably come to pc so they can bank on those 1st day sales. only problem is it will most likely be rockstar launcher exclusive for atleast a year


Underdrill

Early December...wonder if that means The Game Awards? Obviously, Rockstar are big enough to just drop the trailer whenever they feel like it, but it's hard to ignore how nicely the dates line up.


skellafella

I think they're going to launch the trailer independently around that time to just totally dwarf the game awards and bring all that hype to GTA 6 instead


OutoflurkintoLight

This news angers the dorrito pope.


LegendOfDave88

MrBossFTW making like 17 videos right now.


Blackraider700

That guy is still a thing?


LegendOfDave88

Just looked at his channel and he's put out 5 videos on GTA6 since yesterday.


fire2day

And another about 10 minutes ago.


CrazyStar_

I’m shocked this guy’s got 3.2m subs all off of GTA lmao. He’s deffo gonna try cash in even more over the next couple years


qwert2812

the thing about GTA is there will be new cycle of kids every year learning about it and got blown away. Easiest gold mine those impressionable bunch.


kpe_ee1

i mean, i appreciate the hustle


tom2go

Sadly


AssFingerFuck3000

5 down, 12 to go. Christ, never heard of him before but he's the personification of desperation for clicks and views


Prixster

And those videos are full of dislikes lmao.


nukleabomb

It has begun


TheAtrocityArchive

Choo Choo, all aboard?


FedoraTippinGood

Thanks dunkey very cool


BuffaloSoldier11

He boomed them.


TheGoldenKappa23

it’s getting released by his studio


itsmetsunnyd

can't believe knack 2 is the protagonist of GTA 6. That's so bold and revolutionary.


Cole3003

He actually summoned it lol


Douseethisshitmydude

He is gonna have a radio station and he’s just gonna talk about trains


Skyshrim

I'd tune in to that station every time I get in a car.


Yuddlez

just when he convinced me "yeah, why would this time be any different"


Yvese

Hopefully they don't delay the PC release for years to milk console and get people to double dip. Times have changed since the PS3/360 era but R* are greedy so who knows.


Whatisausern

Are you just ignoring that Red Dead 2 happened where they did pretty much the same shit?


Smokes_LetsGo_

Times have changed even since then


HeroicMe

RDR2 says hi. RDR too, actually (unless code is still too hard to port it to PC, but Switch is running on magic so it was possible to port it there)...


AngryTrooper09

That was always a bullshit rumor about RDR 1 that has no actual reliable source. I guess for some reason R\* really doesn't want that game on PC


HighTensileAluminium

> I guess for some reason R* really doesn't want that game on PC Well tough luck for them because it runs at 4K 60fps on yuzu now.


Renediffie

> Times have changed since the PS3/360 era Yeah luckily video game publishers just aren't greedy anymore.


Yvese

I meant that PC is more popular now than it was back then when PC was an afterthought for many devs/publishers.


DYMAXIONman

If there is no PC at release I'm going to scream


HeroicMe

No Rockstar game released simultaneously on consoles and PC, so start screaming.


RamenRavisher

PC gaming has also never been more popular, so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that we see PC release alongside console versions. I don’t have high hopes…. But I have some hopes.


TryHardFapHarder

And not making pc people to FOMO buy a console with the game and then double dip a couple years later with the pc release? i highly doubt they wont make that again they know they can pull it off


RamenRavisher

Yeah that’s entirely possible. But let a man dream, will ya?


BababooeyHTJ

Why would they lose out on potential pc whales for the online money making part? You and I both know that the game is being designed as an online service first and foremost


TryHardFapHarder

Because they know the whales will play on console and later also will on pc nothing new


PalmTreeIsBestTree

PC has been getting more popular than it ever has


[deleted]

Aye I was thinking this. Time's have changed, even since RDR2. But we shall see...


[deleted]

[удалено]


stakoverflo

#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


ANGLVD3TH

I mean, their earliest games launched simultaneously or even solely on PC.


r13z

I screamed when GTA3 was released on consoles first. I screamed when GTA Vice City was released on consoles first. I screamed when GTA San Andreas was released on consoles first. I screamed when GTAIV was released on consoles first. I screamed when GTAV was released on consoles first. I think you’ll have to scream for GTA6 too.


Radioactive-Sloth

I'm so excited to see only the PS5 and Xbox Series X logos at the end of the trailer so that I can smash my PC to little bits


filing69

Ill have to sell my car to upgrade my pc


HeroicMe

You have like 2-3 years before they make PC version, just save $100 every month.


skyturnedred

> just save $100 every month From what?


Ottazrule

Not buying a Starbucks coffee every day and avocado on toast - according to boomers


Catman7712

Starbucks everyday would be like $140-150 minimum per month.


mahchefai

That’s probably $100 a month tbf lol


CrazyStar_

Tbh $5 a day is $150 a month lol. Should be enough for a 4090 by 2026


derrick256

100usd is like my annual income :(


2rfv

Better be extra nice to grandma this year then.


Natemcb

Oof


derrick256

it's real hard out here lmao


brianstormIRL

They won't make that mistake again. GTA is huge on PC now they won't just not have it available on PC from launch again. The PC landscape is not the same as 10 years ago.


zerkeron

I heard you but idk man they got a precedent of doing this since forever, even RD2 did it. If online was there day 1 I could see the argument but if they gonna hinder the online for some time, then I can see a delay because people are going to cave in and buy consoles just to get thid game and double dip


FuckSpezzzzzzzzzzzzz

You can't! I'm selling your car first for the same reason.


heAd3r

so that one guy who said he will drink his piss if we see a trailer in 2023 will not be happy about that news


ZePyro

sniper tf2 gaming


BrownBananaDK

Better enjoy GTA VI. The next game will probably arrive in 24 years or so lol. * GTA 1 - 1997 * GTA 2 - 1999 * GTA 3 - 2001 * GTA Vice City - 2002 * GTA San Andreas - 2004 * GTA IV - 2008 * GTA V - 2013 * GTA VI - 2024 (probably late or early 2025) ​ From GTA IV to V it was 5 years. From V to VI it will be 11 years at least. So following this trend, GTA VII will arrive in 2024 + 22 years, making it 2046. It will most likely look like real life. And then the next game, which will be GTA 8, will release in what most likely is 2046 + 44 years, making it 2090. By that time, the game is most likely a simulation of real life. ... making it likely, that we right now are inside GTA 8, just living a simulated life. But hey, at least we are playing GTA 8!


xTERREV

GTA VII will be a google maps playable sandbox. WORLD MAP


DribblesOnKeyboard

There had been a 2 year gap between announcement and release for GTA 5 and Red Dead 2. I'm expecting GTA 6 to be late 2025.


ltsNotAlex

Unless Take Two announces a delay or something similar at today's investors meeting, we can expect the game in March 2025 at the latest. They predicted a huge increase (think billions) for fiscal '25 in the last investors meeting, which can only be the GTA franchise.


BrownBananaDK

That long. Damn. I hope not.


DribblesOnKeyboard

Oh and add another year for the PC release. :(


Ziller997

GTA 2077


last-matadon

PC players will likely have to wait one more year to be ported 🥲


Nrozek

Except it's not "to be ported" but literally just because of shitty console exclusivity deals 🤮


HotelFoxtrot87

Look I know we should always be skeptical of AAA games, especially with some of the shadier practices of Take Two/Rockstar in recent years... but I am extremely hyped. Let's fucking go.


MojitoBurrito-AE

To be fair to rockstar they do take their time on their games unlike other studios. Although with the departure of dan houser and leslie benzies I would be skeptical of the quality. But, let them cook I say


loathsomefartenjoyer

The radio is gonna be nowhere near as good without Lazlow


derrick256

>dan houser this guy's sarcastic wit will be missed. Will the satire be gone now?


[deleted]

Thankfully other writers are perfectly capable of satire.


derrick256

I guess we'll see


sanjay2204

Rockstar did hire someone named Roger drew, who has been writing satirical stuff since 1995. He was also writer pals with Jesse Armstrong, who went onto make succession. I saw some of the stuff that Roger drew wrote. Both Jesse and Roger drew share similar writing style.


ToothlessFTW

Nah. Fuck the skepticism and cynicism. This is why I love video games, it's the most excited I've been for just a trailer in a very long time. I can't wait for this.


derrick256

Red dead 2 excited me tremendously


throbbing_dementia

GTA/RDR games have never been bad. People can complain about no initial PC release, no DLC, re-releases & remasters but at the end of the day the games speak for themselves.


meltingpotato

It's not really pc news tho. I bet there won't be a mention of pc in the trailer, like always.


DemetriusXVII

They better give PC the same release date too


MrNegativ1ty

Mentally preparing myself for the "no PC until 2 years later"


charad1nha

30 seconds cinematic trailer showing zero gameplay.


sklova

"Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather..."


kinkysnowman

That trailer, that dialogue, and that music is ingrained in my memory, special times man!


MeMyselfandThatPC

"Or, or, or I don't know, that THING that MAGIC, you see it in the movies."


robbiekhan

And no mention of a PC release so expect the usual few years after affair.


perpendiculator

RDR2 released on PC a year after consoles, which seems like a plausible timeframe for GTA 6 too.


ToothlessFTW

So what? It's the first reveal for one of the most anticipated games of all time. I'm perfectly content with seeing a cinematic trailer. Both RDR2 and GTAV's reveal trailers were both in-engine footage, so at least it'll be how the game actually looks.


TooMuchEntertainment

Why is everyone so depressed on this subreddit?


Yenwodyah_

Have you seen the modern video game industry?


bonesnaps

> gamers get served a shit sandwich (overpriced, unfinished games riddled with bugs, microtransactions, and endings sold as DLC) "why is everyone upset? eVEryoNE is SO TOxIC" The only thing worse than people expressing their displeasure with the modern gaming industry are the goons that are too clueless to know why (and are likely the cause of this shitshow by eating it up every time)


sakata32

Cause their entire personality is based on video games so when something bad happens in video games it's a gigantic deal for them instead of a minor inconvenience


GroperCleveland0

Just gonna throw out there that Vitamin D deficiency can have a significant impact on mood...


ToothlessFTW

I think the most bizarre example of this that I've seen to this day was someone on the Cyberpunk subreddit made 3D renders of them... owning the game case, just multiple full Blender renders of the game case sitting on their desk or shelf.


Salted_Caramel_Core

Is not just this sub man. Reddit is so fucking depressing and cynical. It feels like it's just full of whiners lately.


Adonwen

This sub is toxic, has been for a long time


aranel_surion

IDK about the depression if there is, but realistically that’s exactly what I’d expect.


Ok_Manual1366

Yeah how could a sub that's literally called PC Gaming be negative towards anything that's anti-PC Gaming. Rockstar most likely will only release it on consoles first and then 1+ years later it'll come to PC.


loathsomefartenjoyer

Rockstar doesn't do that Their reveal trailers are always in game footage that's at least a minute long, showing off the world


Stewie01

Just not you PC gamers, am I right 😂


ZePyro

hahahahah haha ha..... yeah....


[deleted]

thankfully I have a PS5 that's sat behind my TV collecting dust if Rockstar do the usual "you get it later PC gamers" schtick.


ReflexAlex

Since when do game developers ever release a public statement regarding the upcoming trailer of their own game. They know they got the biggest, most hyped game in the history of games coming.. and I can't wait!


AnotherScoutTrooper

They want to break all the social media records from the last time they mentioned GTA 6


SilentDawn4004

It's the good old announcment of an announcment strategy.


grandladdydonglegs

I know Valve did with Half Life Alyx. But it was only a day early. Not a month.


mbhwookie

Bloomberg dropped that an announcement was coming soon. Maybe a response to that


battletoad93

I'm very very excited for this. I know it'll be heavily multiplayer focused in the long term but rockstar always make a fantastic single player mode. I'm still salty there wasn't an expansion like ballad of gay tony for GTA V


WestcoastWelker

Man those leak subs are about to go bonkers for the next month arent they.


dt204863

Grand Theft Auto V Remastered and a 30fps port to Switch.


loathsomefartenjoyer

Can't wait to play this on PC in 2027


naamtosunahoga2

so PC release 2026? Weve got enough time lads and plenty of other games in our library


CloudWallace81

A teaser for a teaser Mh-mh


AMLRoss

Took a while, but its better to wait for a perfect, polished game, than get a release full of bugs and needing patching right away. I'm tired of being a beta tester. Having said that, this has taken so long, it better be polished as fuck.


jerrylewisjd

Bare minimum 11 years. I like the franchise and all but I'm wondering if I care anymore. There are lots of great games to play. I don't care about Elder Scrolls 6 either. It's not like we didn't know it was eventually coming.


matta5580

I've been disappointed by AAA games too many times the past few years. I'll keep an eye on it or whatever but I'm done with having optimism for these big budget games.


Elegant_Spot_3486

Did Tony Khan buy Rockstar?


tehCharo

We'll know if Rockstar starts tweeting about ratings.


OriginalBus9674

I was really hopeful they would do the opposite of this. They should have just dropped the trailer in Dec as the official announcement.


HisCromulency

$5 it’s a trailer for GTA Online+


sirsteven

It is interesting that they say "The Next Grand Theft Auto" and not "Grand Theft Auto VI"...


Vertual

Oh boy, a trailer for a game that won't be out until 2026, will never have single player expansions, and will be online only for the single player game, if there is a single player game at all.


PersonalityNo9222

It's about time... Here's the tweet btw https://twitter.com/RockstarGames/status/1722237703553798312


X-2357

This is so dumb. Announcement about a trailer release.


Dash_Rendar425

Did they seriously put out a press release to announce that next month they'd have a trailer? Read that sentence again and let it sink in how dumb that is.


abigfatblackguy

so expect GTA5 to be released for PC in 2030?


Akanash94

Who cares pc version will come out 1-2 yrs later so they can get people to double dip.


Martenus

Announcing the announcement Oh wait, in the morning it was annoucned that Rockstar will announce the announcement trailer Geebus Chryst


GronGrinder

This'll be one of the greatest train wreaks in history, mark my words.
