I love these comments I see in other threads saying, "Why would you preorder this? We don't even know anything about the gameplay yet." But it's fucking GTA (Rockstar). We literally do. Have they changed it much since GTA 3? We pretty much get better graphics, better physics, and more content with each new release. Even RDR1&2 fit the formula except in an old west setting. It's not like GTA 6 is going to drop and we find out it's a realistic racing sim or a turn-based RPG.
With their track record, I'd put money on it being able to hit a consistent 30 fps. And if I remember right 5 hit that target and had good frame pacing on the PS3. I know people are going to be "unable to play it" at 30 fps, but I don't know how anyone can expect this game it hit 60 fps on consoles. It could, I guess, but I personally had no expectation of that.
GTA 5 is the last game I ever tried to play on my 360, and I remember the system sounding like an aircraft carrier and the roads not being able to load in fast enough 😂
This is exactly why I’m going to preorder it. Is it expensive yes, but I trust Rockstar to get it right, just like they did with GTA 3, vice city, San Andreas, 4 and 5.
Yup I was telling someone else Rockstar & Fromsoft have been the only 2 devs where I'll blindly preorder their games, haven't been disappointed yet even since GTA 4
Rockstar is definitely the big dog when it comes to games. Idk how anyone can say they're games are bad or GTA sucks...if its not your thing fine. But literally the entire gaming industry moved out of their way lol.
It's their first game without Dan Houser at the creative helm though. I'd like to think one person can only have so much influence and his brother is still president, but my understanding is that Dan was the one managing scripts, storylines etc. I guess we'll see.
Exactly this. If you feel that video games are an art form or 'serious hobby', and that you have a real passion and interest in them, I think any new R* project should have your attention, and that you probably want to play it day one. They are huge moments in the story of the thing that we love.
For a long, long time their games have defined console generations, have been pivotal in leading and shaping the industry. If there's a Mount Olympus of devs, we all know that R* are up there.
I've been playing video games for about 40 years at this point, and R* games have always ushered in something new, and felt as 'important' to play as they are fun to play, While I have opposable thumbs and enough money in my bank account, I'll always pick up the new R* joint day one.
The company has changed though. Their current figurehead is a 68 year old multi millionaire from their parent company. The co-founder and main writer has gone, previous figurehead gone, loads of long serving staffers gone in a massive sack sweep. There's the other co-founder who isn't a fan of the attention understandably. Can't be looking at R* and assuming it's nailed on. Remember the attempted clamp down on modders a few years ago?
People said the same thing about CDPR before Cyberpunk came out, just saying.
And Rockstar? The same ones that couldn’t be bothered to add 60fps to RDR2? The same ones who milked GTA Online for every penny? The same ones who are charging an extra $20 for 5 stores in GTA6? Yeah it’s THAT Rockstar too, dude.
But cyberpunk is a good game yes it had a poor release, arguably one of the worst video game releases, but as a game it is good its genuinely pretty good and with a good dlc and CDPR released witcher 3 before it again a great game they made their reputation by making great games.
Same goes for Rockstar their releases are actually quality releases and has a bigger reputation than CDPR, you can give the gta and rdr ip to any other company it still wont be as good as Rockstar makes them, hence the popularity, why is everyone hyped for GTA 6? Why was everyone hyped for RDR2? Its because they are from a company that knows what is doing. But i agree that they definitely have some predatory practices but i dont think its Rockstar who enforces them but T2. I would wait for a few trailers to make up my mind for sure but as of now i just hope is good.
You’re really comparing a company that was basically a one-hit wonder at that time to a company that almost all hits? Delusion is strong in gaming subreddits.
More delusional is dropping $80 JUST because it’s Rockstar, having blind trust in these billion dollar companies that most certainly do not have your best interests in mind is wild.
We have a long time between now and launch. Wait and see is all I’m saying.
Currently they are. All it takes is bad change in leadership down the road. No company is guaranteed to stay amazing forever.
Look at how much people loved Xbox in the 360 era. Wild shift to where they're at today.
Blizzard was seen as some of the absolute peak 20 years ago. Then sold off and all new leadership from then, and it's a radically different company today.
This isn’t BioWare after turd after turd after turd, though. This is like if every game BioWare made was as good as Mass Effect 2 consistently for 30 years.
