Edit: Original link was removed for Rule 6, but the YouTube version is up now anyways. Edited to replace the link because it’d be a shame for good discussion to be lost.

        It would. I initially had this post pointing to a Streamable link during the exclusivity window, but it was removed for Rule 6. Not sure how that rule interacts with alternate YouTube frontends like Invidious, but I’m not going to press my luck.

        If anyone wants an unauthorized stream that bypasses YouTube and Netflix, they’re not hard to find with a simple web search. If that’s too much effort, you’re not missing much anyways.

      I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
      Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that’s gonna be super hard to crack?
      Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren’t particularly worried about piracy?

      Of course given the popularity and antecipation I’m sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it’ll go down.

      GTA IV was the last one I’ve ever owned. Been tempted by 5:00 a few times but I have got enough games that I’ll never play. I don’t need it as well.

    Okay after watching this video, I figured out what the deal is with this game I don’t connect with: Netflix. They all wanna do their games now like it’s a Netflix show. Not just Rockstar, but all of the major companies.

    Graphically… it looks great. If what we’re seeing isn’t just all post-effects they slapped onto the video.

    The dudes voice I don’t like. Apparently I’m not the only person judging by some of the comments I’ve read heh. He just sounds like a doofus white guy. But an unfunny one at that! And they’re somehow making his voice sound Deeper? Like if 1990s, Point Break, Keanue had a deeper voice I guess is what they are going for? The problem like some others have pointed out is that the voice doesn’t match what we’re seeing as the Model.

    Eh. Anyways whatever. I’m old. I prefer the old school goofy cartoon GTAs over this Netflix Amazon Movie shit they put out now. I’m not big on Hyper Realism these days. Kind of over it really. That’s just me though.

          Well it’s releasing on the PS5 so it would be pretty dumb if it doesn’t actually work on the PS5. Anyway what the mostly showed was cut scenes and they are easy to optimize because anything that’s literally not on screen can just be unloaded.

            I remember when the very first teaser came out for this and people were going wild. I asked in a streamers chat (first mistake) if there was any actual in-game gameplay footage or it was just a CGI/cutscene and the streamer chewed me out lol. “Let people be excited about things!”

              To be clear there is a difference between pre-rendered cut scenes and in game cut scenes. I’m pretty sure everything we saw, and have seen so far, has all been in game cut scenes.

              But still I suspect that the game won’t be the same quality out of cutscenes as it is in cut scenes. Most games actually have two different character models depending on if you’re using it for gameplay or cut scenes, and it’s how GTA IV did it.

    It’s actually kind of insane how much of a lock the sales of this game are. I can’t think of many other things that were just garunteed to sell like this. Apple products?

    Seems like a good game but the expensive price plus the fact it will be 30FPS on launch is a no-go for me. Will wait for PC release (if that ever comes?). Got enough backlog games anyway.

    They should mark this as movie trailer with spoilers. I pretty much played it on skip and saw maybe 1 minute of gameplay without story.

      This game is what’s finally going to push me upgrade my 3060Ti in a few years but… I’m not exactly hopeful on there being anything to upgrade to. Would prefer to skip nvidia and amd has decided to abandon the high end market but if I’m upgrading, I’d like to go up a tier or two, not just a few generations. I want to be blown away by the card that’s going to have to last me the next 5-10 years.

      I’m also guessing there won’t be a new GPU generation out next year.

      It’s kind of obvious they are double dipping on the anxious that would buy a console solely for GTA.

        They haven’t announced it’s coming at all yet, it’s speculation on our end.

        They’d be mad not to, but again, they haven’t said it’s actually coming yet.

          I’m old enough to remember exactly this discussion for GTA 3, 4, 5 and now 6.

          Yeah, they never announce it for PC early so they’re not cannibalize console sales. They do this eeeeeevery time. Every single fucking time.

          It’ll be out on PC in due time.

                RDR1 was a special case, San Diego didn’t port their previous few games either which is why we don’t have Midnight Club LA on PC for example.

                GTA is too big. It’s guaranteed extra sales for a game they already have. Same with RDR2, it was heaps more popular than the first (which itself was more popular than expected I guess) so leaving it console exclusive was never really on the table.

                IMO RDR1 doesnt count for that argument.
                But yes. The money grabbers got greedy enough to sell it to PC players :p

                I guess in that game’s case, it was developed at a satellite studio who thought their spaghetti western game needed spaghetti code to match.
