>>1367964 Because muh graphic fidelity anon, that's why. People aren't buying as many games on those consoles because there's hardly anything worth buying

>>1367414 How will it compare to Saints Row 2022? The game will probably sell well barring a GTA trilogy port tier disaster and even in that scenario it ought to sell as many units as TLOU2.

>>1368434 But anon GTA 5 has sold like 200m copies, there aren't even that many current gen consoles in circulation and everyone seems to think GTA 6 will sell x3 that amount at a 100$ price point

>>1368962 I don't think anyone could expect that from GTA VI in just one generation. As you stated, GTA V came out on the PS3/360 and and was ported to PS4/XBOne (and by proxy of backwards compatibility) PS5/XSX. The game has been on the market for over a decade. Although they wouldn't benefit from double dip sales like the earlier generation, they're going to still get a lot of sales. It would be best to compare it to Year 1 Sales on the PS3/360. Looking at a few stats online (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1247955/gta-v-unit-sales-worldwide-total/), the game sold ~40 million in Year 1. The PS5 has a current install base of about 75 million, and the XS an install base of 28 million. If we round that to about 100 million, then they would need an attachment rate of 40% in order to match. That is an insanely high attach rate during a recession, but its not impossible. In addition, this will he the game that will force current PS4 gamers (nobody is playing on Xbones) to PS5/XSX. It is the definition of a system seller. With at least 40 million active players on PS4 still, there is a BIG potential console sales bump. (Especially since zoomers and millenials love to do Klarna / Afterpay on their expensive purchases) I have no idea if the 2 billion number is accurate or just marketing, so I can't even begin to think about what "profitable" would look like for R*

>>1368351 >i'm going to laugh at the people who say they won't play it, and also the people who play it So your thesis is that literally everyone in this thread will play it? I don't think I agree.

>>1365605 I have no desire to play it whatsoever and would never pay for it even if I had hardware that could run it. I don't support these behaviors.

>>1378424 Those crowds are going to be protected, good luck with that lol

>>1378675 No its not actually lol. That nigger with his graphs pretending that there isn't going to be a big delay for the pc release clearly wants to play the game

Such attention to detail!!111 What a piece of shit overrated franchise holy shit lol.

>>1381808 It is indeed overrated, but it used to be fun until 4

>>1381549 I can't wait to see someone drive a tank into a queer and have the tank instantly explode while everyone in the parade is unharmed.

>>1381808 I like how Niko is face palming here, kek

>>1368485 He doesn't quite seem to know what a SR 2022 scenario would entail. That entry severely toned down the violence depicted in cinematic cutscenes and the sexual imagery is basically non-existent compared to SR1 and 2. Not to mention that the game's development was extremely fucked, it launched in a very unfinished state with all the bugs that were present. From what little they've shown off, there's still quite a bit of sexual content, far more than SR reboot in just two damn trailers. It probably wont be that much different from what's in GTA Online, and it'll be GTA so the same amount of violence should still be there. The only real questions are how much content will be cut in favor of GTA Online 2, how empty the map will be, and whether or not it'll be buggy as shit like Cyberpunk or any modern open world AAA game.

>>1384622 As if toning down the sexuality and violence in cutscenes were the main reasons SR 22 failed

>>1386010 Well like I said, the game was also buggy as fuck. Maybe it could have done fine enough because it and Watch Dogs Legion were the only few GTA clones out on PS5/Series consoles, but playing as a bunch of young hipsters in a buggy as fuck open world game with less adult content than its predecessors would have been a hard sell even in 2016.

>>1386670 >Well like I said, the game was also buggy as fuck Aaaaaaand? What else? Come on, you know.

>>1387064 I really don't know what else that I havent mentioned already. >Severely toned down violence and sexual content, not even when compared to earlier entries but when compared to R*'s own PS2 games >Buggy as fuck on release despite long delays >Lame as fuck looking new Saints shown off in the reveal trailer, they weren't any better as actual characters in the final product I don't know what else you're thinking of. The dialogue was terrible but there wasn't much of a way to gauge how terrible it and the story would ultimately be pre-release. Santa Ileso as a setting doesn't really benefit from being set in a desert, but it wasn't that bad a map when next to Steelport; even if it still wasn't on par with Stilwater. Mike Watson dying literally a day before the reveal trailer also hurt, especially knowing that he wouldn't have been able to see Saints Row 2 on PC unfucked the way fans deserved, but that was unrelated from the reboot and people still didn't expect Deep Silver to kill the project yet.

>>1386670 The gameplay, driving (which is like 80% of games like this), and story just sucked. GTA 6s story will undoubtedly be sensationalist lowest denominator drivel that you could easily poke holes in and who the fuck knows what the gameplay will be like since they refuse to release any footage. If both the 2/3 of these things are shit in this game, the game is pretty much irredeemable garbage

>>1387509 Was the case for 4 and 5 No fun allowed cynical trash with barely any content.

>>1191120 It will be like KCD:2 where it is obviously woke but people will bend over backwards to pretend it isn't.

>>1387552 GTA 4 was definitely the worst of the bunch with its piss filter, horrible driving, horrible radio, and boring story. GTA 5 was no fun allowed and it was woke. Micheal is expected to take his bitch after she got canonically ran through, Trevor is cartoonishly nuts, and Franklin is just an "innocent" person being swept along in it all. Yeah, ok Rockstar.

>>1387624 >game set in medieval Europe >woke Pick one.

>>1400310 what the fuck is that retarded pepe supposed to be

>>1400322 >acting like your cuckchan trash is some "le ebin oldfag" meme

>>1400294 What fucking logic is that? You haven't noticed that they specifically target non-SJW things so as to destroy them? They are still making the SJW Lord of the Rings TV show, you know. But shieldmaiden Galadriel and sassy fat black woman dwarves aren't SJW, because its Lord of the Rings and therefore it can't be SJW. Next you'll tell me what what they did to Tawna in Crash 4 isn't SJW, or that what they did to the Dark Queen in that shitty newer Battletoads game isn't SJW. Amy Rose is now a tough warrior that isn't allowed to be in love with Sonic anymore, and in the movies Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are adopted by an interracial human couple, and spend like half the second movie at a sassy fat black woman's wedding, and the Knuckles TV show has a whole episode called "The Shabbat Dinner" which is exactly what it sounds like, but it totally isn't because of SJW philosophies, folx! The Super Mario Bros. movie has Luigi be the damsel in distress, meaning the Super Mario Bros. barely interact in the movie (and then they have the nerve to act like their brotherly bond is a central theme at the end), so instead Peach can be Mario's mentor, a zillion times more powerful and capable than him (even remarking that the obstacle course that took Mario a montage of attempts to beat was so easy she did it on her first try), with Mario only saving the day because Peach is taken out by deus ex machina. But it totally isn't SJW, right? But yes, that Pepe that was posted in reply to you is obviously some post-exodus newfag halfchan trash. All the refugees have fucking ruined this site. And now here I am, arguing with one.

>>1188609 Problem with GTA games is 80% of the play time is padded by walking and driving to where you go.

>>1400294 >Pick one I really wish western devs would.

This shit is stupid and yet people will still praise gta6 despite it being woke as shit, it's shitty mission structure, and it's lack of a proper fast travel system which is only not there to waste your time.

>>1261081 There are more spicks than niggers in the average US town, and more whites and asians than both.

>>1189645 >Talented developers do not work at game studios anymore That's a good thing. I imagine they've moved on to greener pastures given their prior work environments. I look forward to the day when you can prompt a AAA open-world game with AI to bypass the garbage these art directors have created. Video games are due for a shakeup.

>>1222985 Max Payne is Remedy, Rockstar only made 3 and it sucked.

>>1432894 The asian population is roughly 6%. The african population is roughly 13%. The spic population is roughly 40%. Whites are the rest. Whites haven't been a majority since before 2000.

>>1222985 >Max Payne 1 >Rockstar

>>1222985 >oni >rockstar

>>1222985 >>1470871 >>1472498 >>1472781 A ton of these games aren't Rockstar. Rockstar wasn't making GTA until 2002 I think, when they bought out DMA. That means None of those earlier games like Wild Metal and Thrasher are Rockstar, either. They published some of these games, but that's not the same thing. Rockstar fans are just really fucktarded, they're like Blizzdrones circa 2012. I can't believe this thread is still active. This is still the dumbest OP on the catalog.
