If this guy's predictions are correct, and they probably are, then this game will bomb miserably.

We would already have GTA6 if this was actually true. Morons spending money in that shitshow online only push back the development further.

I don't give a shite about the female latina character, whatever, but the not punching down at marginalized group is dumb as frick. The great thing about GTA is that they make fun of EVERYONE.

Well, we have a baseline set. With the exception of GTA 2, each next version has outsold the last.

GTA 5 really set a gold standard with 150+ million sold.

If they cannot top GTA5 2013 numbers though, they will be doomed

I just hope they include a cousin that constantly calls me on the phone and wants to go to drag queen reading hour at the local elementary school.

This would be funny AF and on brand for Rockstar humor. Both sides would cry. The people complaining about the over the top character drag queen and the people complaining about indoctrination. Win win!

I'll get worked up when it comes out in 2025-2030.

A female protagonist isn’t “woke” as they’ve always been a thing, but they should keep the insensitive jokes. It accurately reflects the real world.

It will be if you cannot have her perform oral sex on a cop.

Or have her arse eaten.

This is GTA, we have standards for this game.

Regardless of any of that, the Houser brothers aren’t at Rockstar anymore, and the game shouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt just because there’s goodwill from the old games.



Lazlow's gone too. He and Dan Houser wrote most of the scripted humor in the games. They probably couldn't keep it going, if they wanted to. But they *should* want to and at least try.

The PC path has been rumored since Houser left. It was also speculated the development time slipped significantly as a result of that change in course. GTA 5 is 10 years old and they just removed the trannies, the exact same “punching down” explanation was offered. The next game may be fun, but it will effectively be a GTA spin-off, not a successor.

As a member of a ""marginalized group,"" I'm gonna pass on this.

Im still reminded how Bioware going super woke really killed them. Its not the material so much as its the people making it.

And working with hyper woke people is fricking miserable.

If this was done in the culture and political climate of 10-15 years ago I’d be fine with it. If they kept the female protagonist as more of a cocaine cowboys type character. Like a more badass Griselda Blanco. Instead we all know why they are doing this and without the social commentary it won’t be nearly as good as previous games

Sounds like we’re getting Catalina or her daughter from the old Vice City. Would be cool with me.
