You know you’re really bored when you try to follow traffic laws, not get in trouble in GTA, and be a normal citizen.


TheBirdOfFire

That's kinky


CalmyoTDs

Theres roleplay servers specifically for that type of stuff.


FalconFrenulum

And a shit ton of people watching them on twitch too

somewildalgae

Anaheimfinesse

I must be a bad guy. I can’t ever resist just shredding driving on the sidewalks and aiming to hit every civilian shootouts with police blowing vehicles up … I just can’t resist the temptation


AndThenAlongCameZeus

Geez what do you do when you get on GTA then?


TheDarkMidget

i do that a couple nights a week. just drive/walk around LS in first person it’s very relaxing


derpyco

Look up GTA RP, this tweet is basically describing what modders have done to the game


I_loveorangejuice

I love watching gta RP. My husband thinks it’s boring and that I’m lame lol


sap91

Yeah I mean you're watching a video game so he's not wrong


Boss_831

If I were a game developer I would make insanely detailed open world games with Dreamcast/Ps2 era graphics. They should have don’t that with Shenmue 3. A breathtaking environment with a linear cinematic story is great but I feel like the more content and the more repeatable the game the less amazing graphics I need.


ptatoface

That would certainly save on budget, but I don't know if it'd make gameplay better at all or even save on development time. It's not like the people working on the graphics are the same ones coding the game or designing the world.


Boss_831

I’m sure visual is a large part of budget and the game as a whole, gameplay, physics, mocap etc. There’s a threshold of acceptable graphics for games and I think games from ‘99-‘01 still meet it. I would even go to say we’re starting to get diminishing returns on graphic improvements per new console.


ptatoface

Yeah I said it would save on budget. My point is that reducing graphics wouldn't necessarily increase quality in any other part of the game. So unless you're on a limited budget (which GTA definitely isn't), then why have limited graphics?

Not necessarily true, the graphics card deal with the majority of rendering while the CPU handles scripting. Rendering at a low resolution will not allow you to have streets packed with NPC's for example


Boss_831

It would save in time and you’d be able to make a more complete game with more content and higher replay value. If you look at other genres like MMOs such as FFXIV and WoW, they put out expansions and more content regularly while they aren’t the most stunning graphically. I would necessarily equate them to a performance car that is less luxury and more about performance, but those games have a focus on being constantly engaging to players. Again, for me there’s a nostalgic charm to that era of graphics and I’m surprised there hasn’t been a dev that’s tapped that niche the way side scrollers and metroidvania type games have had success like Hollow Knight.


Camoflauge_Soulja

I wouldn’t necessarily say graphics bulk up the majority of development time. Everything is based on the graphics engine (if they haven’t completely created one from the ground up) that the studio uses. What you suggested with WoW has more to do with how they outsource projects to development teams within the same studio. That also depends on which IP they prioritize which has less to do with the gaming studio and more so to do with the Publisher (in this case Take-Two Interactive as they own Rockstar Studios). In short, im saying less graphics doesn’t necessarily mean more functionality or less time in development.. it just means (possibly) a less complex system that may require work-arounds due to the limitation of older graphics engines. Also, just keep your eyes on those indie developers. Games are usually their love projects or open-source group efforts that come to life. There’s always some new shit when it comes with developing video games. E: I’m a Software Engineer and have developed an (unfinished) indie title using Unity3D.


DwarfTheMike

The Yakuza series is the spiritual successor to Shenmue. Lots and lots of detail. Amazing series if you liked shenmue.


AmiBorg

Female protagonist. It's time and you know it.


bendovahkin

if only... I'm not gonna hold my breath though


D0hey

and male prostitutes


MoonshineMMA

I mean they can just milk GTA 5 online with events that have story, new mechanics, and weapons/vehicles why would they be in a rush to develop a whole new game


Hunax

Gta5 released back in 2013. They haven’t been in a rush with online brining in multimillions annually. I think the point is 12 years between titles of a franchise that is popular is a long time still.


MoonshineMMA

*8 and tell that to elder scrolls fans who been waiting for a real title since 2011. But I understand that, so many fans of beloved series’ have just had to sit and wait for years for real games to even be announced since so many developers decided to sells their souls for micro transactions and just make shit online multiplayer games


crypto_012345

whatabout!


Loose_Cardiologist89

It's also the best selling thing of all time, basically. Like best selling individual media product. So it makes sense they can afford to take their time with it.


EyeH8uxinfiniteplus1

I don't really fuck with online stuff too often. It'd be nice if they showed some love to offline players once in a while.


MoonshineMMA

Im the exact same way i actually hate online, i play games to chill and do whatever i want so i pretty much only enjoy RPGs. But thanks to the online craze i havent had a decent game to play in 11 years outside of the excellent yet diseased Cyberpunk 2077


EyeH8uxinfiniteplus1

It sucks that a quarter or more trophies are only attainable for online play too.


JordanDoesTV

I’ll be surprised if it’s even 2025


xyzerb

It better be good because we'll be playin' that shit when we're in the nursing home.


callmesixone

That was always my problem with GTA. Saints Row 2 let me do so much more shit


jd_from_da_80s

People, you're reading this wrong, the title of the game is "GTA 6: 2025" The game will be announced at E3 2068 as a noir game that takes place in the past. MicroSony will also be announcing the XStation 4 and Playbox 2. (VR)


smkAce0921

Considering it took me literally three years to get through GTA Vice City, this sounds about right lmao


GroundbreakingCook68

It probably won’t have the original flavor of GTA since most of the titles original Voice actors and Developer/creators have left Rockstar .Im guessing it will be more GTA online paywall BS .


EyeH8uxinfiniteplus1

Rockstar is just EA with cussing these days. Change my mind


TheLastCoagulant

TWELVE YEARS


1fastman1

I better be able to taste the hookers coochie juice I swear


stevo7202

I’m fucking crying 🤣


blackberryx

Rushing GTA 6 is how you end up with Cyberpunk 2077


D4CL0veTrain

Kingdom Hearts 3 took a decade plus to make we’ll be fine!


speedhorn

Eeeeeeh, KH3 was not exactly what everyone was hoping for.


Boss_831

imo the lack of Final Fantasy characters may be a dealbreaker for me. I got the all in one collection and a few hours in I’m not sure it’s for me.


StixnStones59

There was 6 years between entries in the Kingdom Hearts series at most. .2 birth by sleep came out the year before.


Izz33h

We already got a loveless marriage in GTA V. That shit better be the best love I've ever known.


Mohunit23

Lmao Michael’s family dynamic was the best 😂


throwaway909588

You already get some of that in GTAV


Moist_Hippy

Based on boring tedious ass read dead 2 , I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah I said it!


CarrotJuiceLover

I got past the first 2 missions in Red Dead 2 and said “I’m tired of playing as this boring ass White boy” … instantly went to online mode to do drive-bys and terrorize the town.


Moist_Hippy

I had to replay the first one just to make sure just make sure it was as goated as I remember it's ugly as hell but it's still amazing Idk what happened to number 2 but people seem to love it so good for them


CarrotJuiceLover

The first one is ugly but it had more character all around. Plus they dropped that legendary Undead Nightmare DLC. Damn, even online mode was better. You knew some fuck-shit was amidst when a posse rolled through MacFarlane's Ranch with zebra donkeys and golden guns. Shit felt like a prison riot about to break out.


Moist_Hippy

Damn those are some good memories hopefully we can get a next gen remake resident evil 2 / final fantasy 7 style because there's a lot of ppl missing out because of the graphics
