When Night City in a cyberpunk hellscape looks less dystopian.

It's funny how similar the trailer looks to the dystopian Cyberpunk 2077 setting, go figure.

Vice City (the game) also had minorities - Latinos, Jews and so on. This can be said about every GTA (El Burro - Latino, LGBT and animal lover :D) The difference is not their mere presence, but the overall tone and inspiration. This Vice City is not a gangster Miami, but a degenerate Orlando.

I wouldn't judge it so harshly. Finally a game that seems to deal with some issues in real life. Think what you want about big-assed negressess rushing on top of cars - this is the world we live in. GTA only changes the proportions, but not the ingredients themselves.

In other words, like the world, like GTA.

If they wanna 'stop punching down', they can start by no longer making fun of dirt poor hillbillies.

Looks like poor whites won't be spared going by the clips in trailer. But I'm not surprised.

I refused to use the lock-on and used manual aiming as much as possible to make the combat more engaging back in the day, even though it was super clunky to do and put you at a major disadvantage. Simply way more fun. I am glad there was the option to do this in SA, though the implementation was dumb (should just be a toggle in option menu to disable lock-on outright). Instead you had to lock-on first, then manually aim out of the lock with looking/aiming on the right stick. This way it became properly skill-based and you could go for headshots, pop tires etc.

Yeah but the game is not designed to played that way, not saying I didnt use the feature, it's just tactical depth wasnt there to encourage that. People are standing straight without a cover and blasting their uzis towards you, the combat was simply thrash. If they actually took cover and wasn't so braindead, the manual aim would be far more useful.

State of the art twerking animation, I'm sold

Actually I love Bonnie and Clyde stories, and it fits GTA like a relax fit Trojan.

Ash what's your take on GTA 4?

 

[dbx]

Serious question: Do you terminally online muh culture war lardasses sperg out when you watch De Palma's Scarface too? Yeah there's minorities and neon lights in Miami. That's been a defining aspect of the city for like fifty fucking years.

What does all this crap have to do with Scarface you fucking moron?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086250/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm
If Scarface released today shot-for-shot released forty years ago, you'd be whining about it on here too. I assume you like the movie. Who doesn't? The movie didn't change. Vice City didn't change. You did and you've gone so far down the rabbit hole that you'll shit yourself in a fit of rage over the sight of a Cuban in Miami.

I'm somewhat pretty sure scarface didn't have obese niggers twerking on top of cars, neither feminist power fantasies.

Vice City had cubans and haitians, and even then, they mostly kept to their own neighborhoods. The rest was all white majority and some black minority and npcs.
GTA 6 is fucking Nigger Overload.
Seriously, WHAT is with all the niggers, dude?
Sheeeeeit, Rockstar be tryna market dey gaimz fo' da blakpipo.

The previous GTA's offered some aesthetic which was close to reality and still managed to vary away from it, if not in a subtle way than at least in a funny one. GTA5 and GTA6 seem really grounded in America. I don't want no stupid TikTok, IG streams or some other social bullshit in my game. Or twerking black queens on top of moving cars. Well I can see the last one being potentially funny, but whatever.

A bit of a letdown. Tho let's see how it goes. Maybe Rockstar have some trick up their sleeve. Afterall we are looking at the 2025 game of the year.

Also, anyone else getting MAFIA III vibes from this? Surely I can't be the only one. The female protag looks a bit like a gender swapped Lincoln Clay, right?

Personally, I'm more concerned about this love story. Notice that we see the woman as the leader. And that unfortunate "Do you trust me?"

Gentlemen, if a woman asks you a similar question, there is only one thing you can do - run away.

Elon and Rex yet again proving what hypocritical clowns they are.

Based R* making every black in the game either

a) grossly fat
b) incredibly ugly and ridiculously dressed
c) both

Run popamole shooting game

Have mental breakdown and uninstall

Yet another autism achievement.

I suspected this was much of the reason they chose Florida in the first place:

Non Miami Florida is actually a pretty a good setting for a GTA game. If they are ever lacking inspiration all they have to do is plug Floridaman into google to find real life stories far stranger than fiction.

 

[Morgoth]

Complain non-stop about the politization of entertainment.... then politicize entertainment on X.

The billionaires and their lackeys speak with a forked tongue.

And Grand Theft Auto 3 is basically cyberpunk minus the hardware.

Looks like you were right. Makes me wonder what kind of people they have working there now.

I guess it's hard to do a satirical game when reality itself is beyond satire.

Can't believe Musk not being sarcastic with that tweet. No one is that autistic.

But there's a difference, isn't there? Crime stories are popular because they allow us to overstep the boundaries of our mediocre reality. The world of crime is a world of possibilities. Living fast, danger, beautiful easy women, (real)power--that is, power of life and death. The crime story is, in a sense, our form of epic, and the only way to depict certain larger characters outside of fantasy and science-fiction.

The grime and "degeneracy" are a background for this kind of setting, because it's there you can escape. The corrupt cop, the street hooker, they represent a kind of freedom, as well. Through them you get to know a different kind of world, an underground world without rules. It's the hidden promise of that world that pulls you in.

I put "degeneracy" in quotes, not because these things aren't degenerate, but because I believe there are worse things we don't talk about. A cop who takes bribes is less degenerate than one who spouts politically correct bullshit for career advancement, for example. Whoremongering is less degenerate than jacking off to porn. The consequences of these things are far worse and you see them everywhere.

The problem with "fat negresses twerking on cars is part of our reality", is that that kind of thing does not let your mind escape, rather the opposite. It imposes our commonplace reality on you at a deeper level, telling you there's nothing else, no outside world to escape to. Mind you, not all forms of crime are equivalent. That's why you have a lot of movies, some great ones, about the shenanigans of Italian Americans, but very little about the constant low level warfare of black America. San Andreas made an effort to depict the mythologized epic story of early 90s LA with its gang feuds and the rise of gansta rap--which, at least in the beginning, had its own originality and glamour--but even then it resorted to a lot of projection and out of place moralizing. The truth is too offensive to hear. Black crime is not glamorous, in the strictest sense it shouldn't even be considered crime, but an animal control issue.

Like someone said before, the worst thing about the trailer is the couple narrative (the woman on top, asking the man to trust her--obvious role reversal). Can't be a guy having fun by yourself, need to bring the girlfriend along. Crime is a thing for men, and not least for the reason that allows men(particularly in some matriarchal cultures) to escape the control of mothers and wives. Crime is sexist by default. That's the only reason it's even interesting, because it's free of the normalizing/moralizing grasp of women. Every good crime story is a "guys being guys" one. And yes, I've seen Bonnie and Clyde. That's a love story with a criminal background. And no, this doesn't look like that either.

Anyway, I've already written too much about this turd. I'll leave it at that.
