It looks... Alright, I guess. Very photo real. Not super colorful. Kind've looks like a modern crime drama, which gives me a bad taste and feels like it's gonna be shitty. That one scene walking out of the convince store with the beer, though, was super trashy and I could get behind that.
A thought I had while watching: gta:vc came out in 2002. It takes place in 1986. That means THAT level of nostalgia and romanticization of the period was only looking back 16 years.
16 years before 2026 would be 2010. They easily could have done another period piece with gta6 for vice City in the 90s, 00s, or 2010s. But I guess now that I think about it, things are more fucked up and insane now than they've been in a long time, so why not satirize what's going on in the world today? It's prime juicy bullshit, kind've like what gta3 did in 2001. So it's fine I guess.
Maybe they'll have good music and really good social commentary? I think then we're entering a new era of GTA - where instead of satirizing and sensationalizing a vibe like a movie would, it's just going to straight up do it to real life. GTA then has a lot of opportunity to reinvent itself, basically, as The Onion - The Game, based in Miami.
Will they? Likely no. It would take balls to make a game essentially shitting all over magas. Rockstar is going to have to pull off a hattrick in their writing and tone to pull this off, despite an open and for the taking goldmine that is reality, and they don't have the cajones anymore.
I'll see how the release does on pc and likely play it as long as they don't monetize it past game price, and maybe future expansions. If there are periodical passes, this might be the first mainline title of theirs I'll skip. The shark cards in gta5online, how grindy that was, the loading times, and hedging tone and neutured jokes in the single player, has them already at a very low karma standing for me. It also better release on steam.
This game will absolutely break records, regardless. This is just me from this trailer, without sound.
I think it's interesting how much nostalgia there was for the 80s 20 years ago, compared to 00s nostalgia today. It feels like the cultural/aesthetic differences between the 80s and 00s are so much stronger than the 00s and today.
All that to say I kinda disagree on making GTA 6 a 2000s period piece
