Ok so we got a regular GTA story with humour, 2 main characters in relationship (maybe another playable one?) and hopefully a detailed open world to do side activities in. Looks good enough for me. Just make it at least as good as RDR2 and you have my money.

No PC no buy. Fuck your console exclusive bullshit I ain't double dipping this time
I don't think a lot of people are going to double dip this time. This game will sell consoles, but it's not going to make up for the deficit the console market has compared to how many PS3s and Xbox 360s were out there in 2013.
I really hope this is true. The only thing that will stop Rockstar from the delayed PC release nonsense in the future is actually stopping the double dip.
I ended up with a PS4 just for Red Dead 2. But I still haven't bought it on PC and have no plans to do so.
The thing is, the PS4 kind of made sense because I also wanted a Blu-Ray player. I still have it for that, so a PS5 would be an impossible sell to me. It's like Rockstar tries to sell consoles but this time around is one of the worst ever console eras.

Can't wait to pick this up for $30 on PC 3 years after it's released. Fuck $80 games and fuck double-dip releases that don't release same-day on PC.
There's literally no reason in this day and age to not release on pc on day 1. Xb and ps market share is absolutely losing ground to pc at record time, there's no reason anymore.
If they don't pc release day 1, then I guess gta6 actually just comes out 2027.
I mean there is a reason, and that reason is they can get people to buy it twice.
It's a shitty reason for consumers but a viable one for publishers nonetheless.
And it will still be full of bugs

I love how it starts with Jason saying "Just fixing a few leaks". I see what you did there.
Good gravy the first few seconds looked like live action. Hope Matt Berry is in this one
GTA VII when?
October 3. The one after the sun implodes.
You know what's wild? The original Vice City was a period piece, taking place in 1986, 16 years before the year it was released. This Vice City will be released 13 years after the last GTA.

Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.
I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.
This way I could pass to Linux and don't have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.
Just FYI: I've had a really good experience with Heroic launcher. Use for playing those Epic freebies I've accumilated over the years, and has been pretty solid, almost Steam-like experience.

Just cutscenes, no gameplay, as always with these trailers. Cutscenes look nice but that doesn't mean shit.
Why can't they show at least a glimpse of gameplay.

The first thing i noticed is the awful amount of TAA/Upscaling artefacting. Apart from that it looks good i guess. I mean its GTA. It will probably be an enjoyable game. But still: Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Take2.
As long as they let you turn off the upscaling I won't complain about it. Unfortunately there has been a trend as of late to force it on; the artifacting drives me nuts. It's always harder to to see in youtube videos though, since they are compressed quite a bit compared to live play.
Biggest thing that concerns me was their focus on pushing one into multiplayer in V. I'm worried that is going to intensify since it made them so damn much money doing that last time.
Either way, game isn't out for a year, and it isn't out for PC for probably two years. So, just going to go back to enjoying my Breath of Fire IV playthrough I'm currently doing. :)

Maybe I’m just old, but I feel like all the people complaining about no PC port at launch, or how this trailer doesn’t show gameplay must be ‘new’ to the series (which to be fair, could mean as much as a decade).
This is how Rockstar have pretty much always done it, going all the way back to GTA3 on the PlayStation 2; PC ports have always been 6+ months after.
Trailer 1 tends to be about the setting, Trailer 2 about the primary characters, then Trailer 3/4 about the supporting characters. ‘Gameplay Trailers’ usually don’t come out around/after launch as that’s usually what’s being still being worked on by the devs.
We will always complain about the lack of a PC port at launch... especially in this era.
We're not going away

Rockstar was a PC gaming company before they went into consoles. GTA 1 and 2 were made for PC before being ported to console.
I know, which is why I specifically called out from GTA3 onwards. 😜
They’ve been console first for a lot longer than not; pretty much ever since they changed their name from DMA Design to Rockstar North.

I struggle to connect with any of those characters. I did like Niko Bellic, he was a “character”. Maybe it was his accent, his immigrant’s take on things, don’t remember, it was a while ago.
4s story is my favorite of the series.
The juxtaposition of the immigrant story with the satire of America that gta normally has meshed very well. Thinking of the internet Cafe mission and Brucie. Niiko as a character brought more than the flavor of gang members previous and after.

75 million views on one day is insane
This is what people like. Nice
I can see it now.
So, Jason and Lucia are together, right? Lucia gets out of jail and then Jason and Lucia start robbing again. Pulling a Bonnie and Clyde thing robbing across Vice City and the surrounding areas. But, as a result of their robberies, something from either of their pasts comes back to bite them. Maybe Lucia has some connections to the cartels and is the reason why she got canned. Or Jason got her out by doing making a deal with someone he shouldn't have. Either way, kinda like what happened with Michael in the last game, they're forced to work with the cartels and corrupt cops. And, eventually, it gets to the point that they've become so infamous that either the cops are cartels have it out for them. But, they offer them a deal. To either Jason or Lucia. You wanna live? Kill the other. If you don't, you're both dead. That's gives us multiple endings like GTA V. Either Lucia dies, Jason, or both.
If it's anything like Bonnie and Clyde, the ending is not going to be fun.

Based on the dev video leaks, the maggat shitting will be intact.
I've never regretted a GTA purchase (admittedly I didn't get the remasters so that might be why...) so I'm cautiously looking forward to this one. Started up 5 again recently with the Enhanced version dropping on PC and man its still stupid fun.
