Grand Theft Auto VI Being Made on a Multi-Billion Dollar Budget

[natr0n]

I can say that most of the budget goes to music licensing.

 

[wNotyarD]

Rockstar will surely recoup all this money selling the same game up to the Playstation 7 and Xbox Omega (placeholder name subject to change).

 

[Space Lynx]

From those leaked videos it sure as hell didn't look like billions of dollars.

indeed. lmao

I wonder if this will launch at 100 dollars

probably will.

replace the asus with rockstar.

rockstar and the epicureans hard at play

That 'Definitive Edition' was developed by a mobile developer, Grove Street Games, so really doesn't count IMO. Generally, their first party games have been great, with V and RDR2 offering outstanding quality, so I expect nothing less for VI.

After seeing the whole debacle around launch didnt bother ordering "definitive edition"(also I own all those 3 games on disc), and the fact that Rockstar had left out Vice City stories and Liberty City stories from release made it not worth the asking price. With GTA-5 they broke their usual cycle and spent extra time optimising game for PC unlike in past(GTA-4 absolute horrible example of bad PC port). Really hoping GTA-6 has a great story and that online is just another add-on as a side feature rather than main selling point(though it might be highly unlikely).

All I hope is that whenever GTA VI gets released in the 2030s, they deliver something that's not unfinished, like most AAA games this day.

Rumor has it that the release will be Holiday Season 2024 but some Rockstar insiders are saying the game won't be ready for 2 years. One thing Rockstar could do is cut sections of the game that can't meet the 2024 deadline and sell them later on as DLC. I hope not but it is a possibility.

Unfinished game looked unfinished? What a shock.



No, because it's unfinished. Everyone will just complain about it being another buggy broken disappointment and we've had enough of those this year already.

Yeah it’d end up being another cyberpunk 2077

i hope the billions can afford quality control

could go down in history [...] is said to have [...] It is said to take [...] The big budget could also mean [...] Rockstar could rope in [...] Rockstar could also target [...]

A few elegant ways to say "we actually have no idea right now"... I mean, sure, I get it - that's probably gonna be the biggest launch in entertainment history (again), but going off random Twitter rumors and speculation feels a bit cheap.

I expect it to release on console first and later on PC so that gamers that own both will double-dip.

If history is anything to go by, you're most likely about 200% correct.

Absolutely no chance that's about to happen, physical media can't comport ongoing live-service games. Bet you this is going to have a very very heavy emphasis on GTA Online.

I have the same feeling and I absolutely hate it.

Well, it has to be big. We won't see another for least until 2050.

This may be a joke, but it's too true to not hurt...

Rockstar usually do an excellent job with their PC ports and unlike most companies these days, release the software when it's good and ready. If that's 12-18 months after PS5 and Series X, as it was with V, so be it. There really is no rush.

Tell me you haven't played GTA IV on PC without telling me you haven't played GTA IV on PC.

I wonder if this will launch at 100 dollars

Not a problem for me, but I'm biased. Whatever the price, though, I think this time I won't preorder. It's getting too risky.

Hoping some PTR and DLSS. Without them, it's a NOGO.

PTR?

And a game around 70 GB max, too, for the planet.

How did you come up with this number?! GTA V is already around 110 GB.

And free day one on EGS too.

At this point you're delusional or trolling...

I hope they hired someone who knows how to write a good script for the story mode. F.e. Quentin Tarantino (such a genius). Imagine the dialogues, lol.

GTA V and RDR 2, their last two big releases, were both written by Dan Houser, Rupert Humphries and Michael Unsworth. This, plus the fact that I don't remember them previously having any star talent in the writing department just makes me highly doubt it. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Tarantino story as much as the next guy, but I'm just not seeing it.

 

[Exilarch]

All of a sudden I have a strange feeling this game might suck really hard...

 

[JAB Creations]

Just release the game already(would love to see physical copies being made available).

This, for you and everyone like you:

Unfortunately, that is about as far from the truth as possible. Cyberfraud delayed 3 times spanning a couple of years and still released in that utter garbage state - and to this day doesn't measure up to the ambition of the original project. People seem to like it despite the shortcomings, but being a fan of Bethesda games I just can't look the other way. Its quality today doesn't measure up to Fallout 76 at launch, and I stand firm on this

EA is even worse with almost all of their releases(many of which are annual repackaged old wine in new bottle).

 

[Ripcord]

I doubt 1-2 Billion is even going to come close to what squadron 42 will cost by the time it gets released in maybe 30/40 years time.

 

[Vya Domus]

Cyberpunk had release date.

Cyberpunk had multiple release dates not to mention that it was announced like what, a decade ago ? None of that means anything in particular.

 

[Deleted member 229121]

"..could potentially release on every platform.."

That would be awesome, but I'm glad to have a current console to play it on at launch.
Because according to recent history, this isn't coming to PC until well after the XB/PS6 Pro Plus VR Ballwasher Edition.

that's not gamers that's shareholders you forgot the part where they say they need they're investment to pay off for them too.

 

[TakeNoShift]

From those leaked videos it sure as hell didn't look like billions of dollars.

Woah, you mean footage of a still unfinished game that leaked almost a year ago didn't look like a finished AAA game? The game already looked visually much more impressive than GTA 5, even in it's current gen iteration, and that leak footage was probably mostly early/mid development.

 

[Kohl Baas]

This may be a joke, but it's too true to not hurt...

Well, kinda. I tried to extrapolate a date from the previous releases and slapped +10 years to it for being an intentional "Game As Service" thing. Joke aside I would say somewhere around 2040.

Reality is, sooner or later there will be a point where they need to refresh the engine itself and at that point they can just release another game to refresh the frenchise and zero the accounts.

Touché...
