Do you think gta 6 will be the last gta game?

[Tap]

it looks like it offers a lot of content, maybe Rockstar wont make another gta game for the next 20 years? who knows, i dont really think that gta 6 could be the last game but what about you?

GTA is a cash cow for TakeTwo. May as well call it a mint because all it does is print money. Despite all the predicted shortcomings GTA VI may have, it will be another cash cow too. Besides, creativity and talent are at the bottom for job qualifications these days. Expect TT and R* to milk this cow until it's dry.

As far as "another 20 years"? Depends on how successful GTA VI is. If it's a flop, expect the interval to be a lot shorter. If it's a hit, they'll milk every console player for at least the next 3 generations.

It won't be the last. This is the only IP keeping Rockstar afloat. It's literally their only IP that brings them top dollar. Without it, Rockstar would go bankrupt. They don't make any other games anymore other than the last one, RDR2 and even that had massive content cut short and scrapped to make sales sooner. We won't see anything like that again I'm pretty sure. Rockstar doesn't take risks at all anymore. All we can expect from Rockstar anymore is the same old same old moving forward. Checklist formula game after checklist formula game. It's really sad to see a company that had so much ambition and originality go from that, to checklist formula games.

eh i mean gta is already controversial by itself. It's true the executives tend to put all their eggs in one basket unfortunately, that's how it is with AAA: parasites that know nothing, see only numbers and don't understand what they mean (a bigger number to them is always good), they ruin everything yet they're at the top.

Gamers have allowed this industry wide stagnation though, by buying into it psychological manipulation. The only ones who can really turn this mess around at this point, is gamers. These companies and corporations don't want to listen to us and don't care, by majority. As you said, they see only numbers and don't care what they ruin or sacrifice to get those numbers. So long as they're getting the numbers, they've got no reason to care or try harder, to do better, and be original, apart from the rest of the industry practices.

I do know one thing, if GTA6 turns out to be a flop, Rockstar's days will be numbered. They have no other IP to fall back on that will be as highly profitable as the GTAO business model has been. If GTA6 is a bust, chances are it will also have a side effect on GTA5 sales and GTA Online.

It's going to be a wild next year or two. All we can do is wait to see what happens. I know I'm not buying into GTA6. I got off at GTA5 after the anti-Linux movement Rockstar chose. Not just because I'm a Linux gamer, but because of how they chose to go about the whole process of throwing Steam Deck console and desktop Linux gamers under the bus. After taking their money happily for two entire years to only pull the rug from under their feet in an anti-consumer way, I've lost any and all respect I had for Rockstar. The company operates with intentional malice and that's not something I'm willing to support.

I don’t think GTA 6 will be the last game in the series. GTA is such a massive cashcow for T2's franchise that it’s hard to imagine them letting it end. That said, with the right amount of content and online longetivity they seem to be packing into GTA 6, it could keep players playing for a long time i think that's why they acquired the Cfx.re (FiveM mod team) where RP playerbase are large.

GTA V's Online turned out to be an unexpected success, but if GTA VI's online were to fail, focusing on single-player games and DLCs might be a viable strategy.

No. SA and VCS will never be topped.
rockstar started going downhill ever since PS2 era ended.

[MERQUIS]

if its another "we dont care about the single player - buy online money plz" fiasco, i and others will probably skip it.

but it wont be the last, as current gen gamers drop all of their money on cosmetics (COD etc.) and pay people to watch them play games....GTA 6 will suckle that simp teet and make huge piles of money.

I think GTA 6 is gonna be a hit. And yeah, I’m pretty sure Rockstar won’t stop making more GTA games in the future. The only thing is, we’ll probably have to wait longer between releases since a lot has changed after all the buzz about their working conditions. Back in the day, devs used to pull 12 to 14-hour shifts, but now things are a bit more relaxed.

I’m also curious if they’ll keep GTA 5 Online servers up or just shut them down. With GTA 6 Online dropping, they’re gonna have to spend a lot more on servers and maintenance. Honestly, the servers already bug out a lot now, and if they gotta run two massive online worlds at once, who knows what’s gonna happen. Plus, I bet a bunch of players will stick to GTA 5 for various reasons.

As for “milking” the game, yeah, they’ll definitely keep doing that. Rockstar didn’t expect GTA 5 Online to blow up the way it did, but it paid off big time. So yeah, GTA 6 is gonna be another cash cow. They might make the in-game economy tougher or leave it the same as GTA 5, but honestly, I hope they don’t mess it up. The main thing is, they should keep dropping free content you can get with in-game money. Nobody wants to pay $100 for a bunker.

When it comes to content, I think they’ll add even more than they did in GTA 5. But I’m not saying GTA 6 will be way better or anything. The GTA 5 map is already huge and packed with stuff. If they wanna add even more to GTA 6, they’ll probably need to make the map at least twice as big.

Most likely Take 2 gutted the original team and most of the OG have left the company. From what I hear there are lots of sycophants wannabes with no talent who have come in from HR or marketing and consider themselves developers now. A lot of the original story got toned down or rewritten to match the current times sensibility. I suppose all that is left is just wait and see how it compares to previous GTA games like VC, GTA 4-5.

OG devs already said it won't be the GTA we're used to and won't be as fun or funny. GTA6 will be for soft people with thin skin. Just look at the character Jason. He looks like a feminist dominated, scared little beta puss. A picture really does say a thousand words.

Man, it’d be super lame if they start pushing some agenda and strip out everything that made GTA what it is. But honestly, I think they know why people love GTA—especially since they’re keeping tabs on the gaming industry and can see how forcing agendas usually wrecks games. So yeah, I doubt they’ll go soft or try to push anything. But like someone said, we’ll just have to wait and see, especially since a second trailer should drop at some point.

Aren't "America and american capitalism suck" themes which GTA had since 2001 agenda already?
