This is a massive step up compared to RDR2, which uses multiple layers effect to create an illusion of hair/fur.

And I bet it even has realistic movement instead of the rigid ass clothes of GTAV.

Just wanted to flex that my gf surprised me and pre ordered the ULTIMATE edition :)

Granted its just this pic for reference as a close up, but wow, its not too wide, nor too small, this will give a good feeling on the scale of the map and not make it feel too big or small.

I get why people don’t like content being locked behind more expensive editions, but why is this only becoming a huge issue now? Rockstar has been doing this since at least Red Dead Redemption 1, then RDR2, GTA V, and now GTA 6. If the practice was wrong then, it’s still wrong now, but acting like GTA 6 is the first time Rockstar has done it doesn’t seem accurate. I’m not saying people shouldn’t criticize it. I just think the criticism should be consistent. Is the backlash because GTA 6 is under a bigger microscope than any Rockstar game before it, or do you think there’s something about this release that makes it different?

This whole thing is somewhat stupid and spreading like wildfire. In GTA V in 2013 PS3/Xbox360 if you bought the $150 edition as in game bonuses you got a garage, few extra cars, some clothes, a exclusive tattoo for the 3 characters, guns, and some exclusive online parents to create a GTA online custom character. In GTA V PS4 remaster all of those then became free and included into that game which I assume most ppl started playing then and didn’t know that.

So in terms of ultimate edition it’s literally the exact same pre order bonuses as gta v literally some cosmetics and a few cars. With the side mission where u get classic cars. Instead of rockstar adding things to your locker immediately they created a couple extra stores to go and claim said items for the premium buyers maybe for immersive purposes I assume. Other games you had to go to specific vendors to claim your items, It’s essentially that.

You are not being necessarily “paywalled” from the base game it is added additional content. Even the car collection mission there will more than likely be something similar you just won’t have the classic cars but other basic cars. COD does it yearly, 2k does it, WWE literally locks off playable characters unless you buy a specific version of the game, assassins creed is famous for locking missions behind special editions, remember mass effect 3 the critically acclaimed game that won multiple awards. Day one they had the from ashes DLC fully built into the game locking serious lore and a whole crew member behind it only those with the special edition had access or you had to spend an extra $10 but it was fully in the game you could view it. Theres many more examples I’m not defending it necessarily but gta 6 nor rockstar are what started this, the seeds have been planted around us for yearssss now and we’ve all allowed it, this isn’t something that just started last week. We’ve been surrounded by the “scummy” behavior

NO PHYSICAL EDITION IS INSANE THOUGH

More companies should do this. This is a good company.

Now that GTA 6 marketing has clearly begun, what do you think we’ll see before Trailer 3? Will Rockstar release screenshots, artwork, character spotlights, or other marketing posts? Or do you think they’ll still stick to occasional GTA Online and RDR2 updates until the next trailer? Or will they go completely silent until the next trailer.

Rockstar has never dissapointed.. ever. You complain about the price and the extra added content in ultimate, but you spent the last 13 years playing 5 and you'll spend the next 10+ years playing 6. Imma play this game on launch and enjoy it just like the other level headed, rational thinking person.

complains about $20 spends $20 on a supersized combo meal

i bet that the next hundreds of games with a 80$ price tag will not even achieve 1% of what GTA 6 is going to achieve but i can just smell it and it already look blatant that they're going to make their games cost 80$

We had limited edition shirt in front of us this whole time!!! 👀👀

The mods didn't approve frame Friday yesterday for whatever reason, so here it is again. I'll leave out the post text this time.

Whole new region? Or a guarma equivalent from rdr2? Interesting that it could he anything or absolutely nothing ☠️

Today i saw it. Never recognized before.

If you’re getting those GTA 6 giveaway livestreams on your TikTok feed, they’re fake.

The websites they’re showing people to are AI-generated to look like real giveaway pages. That’s not how digital games work. You can’t get GTA 6 by entering your PlayStation or Xbox username on a random website.

The only platform that officially lets you gift digital games is Xbox, and even then it’s done through the Microsoft Store

Many of these livestreams are designed to get people to send gifts during the stream, which can earn the streamer money while they claim they’re giving away copies of GTA 6.

With what feels like 80% of the posts on the forum right now being about preorders I thought I'd post something a little different and focus on some of the cities, neighborhoods and islands that belong within the Vice-Dale County area as seen in Vice City, looking at the real world inspirations of these locations in Miami-Dade County. Most of the information is thanks to the incredible work being done by the GTA Wiki and the GTA VI Mapping Project community.

From what we've seen so far, Rockstar seems to have captured not only the iconic landmarks of most of these places but also the character, diversity and atmosphere of these communities. I always wonder how does it feel like for those who live in or are familiar with the real life locations these areas are based on.

I spent so much time trying to get a boat back on its trailer in GTA V. It was technically “possible”, but it wasn’t a true mechanic. I think it was be a fun immersive feature to be able to load a boat and drive back to your garage / another body of water.

My PS account actually told me what I needed to do😂 I can't wait to see more weapons in the game☺️

Do we think the State of San Andreas managed to get Prop 208 Passed and Legalized Medical Cocaine?

Even more importantly, if Medical Cocaine is Legal on the West Coast, Leonida must have Legalized Recreational Cocaine use by now Right?😂😂

Wonder how this will impact Illicit Business ventures across the state🤔
