After days of leaked gameplay footage, which I avoided like the plague, Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto VI extended look on Netflix left me overwhelmed and even more hyped for the November release!
GTA VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond, in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series yet. With a reported budget of over a billion dollars and featuring a female protagonist (Lucia), GTA VI was originally due to be released in 2025.
The footage was captured on a base PlayStation 5 (PS5) and looks phenomenal... IGN's Ryan McCaffrey said GTA VI "might be the best-looking game I've ever seen." The soundtrack includes inspired use of Cliff Richard's Devil Woman, and like many gamers, I've fallen in love with Lucia before even downloading the Ultimate Edition for PS5 and picking up a controller.

Grand Theft Auto VI is the answer to “what game could I make if I had near-infinite talent, money and time?”
ReplyDeleteWhile it’s one of the most gorgeous games I’ve ever seen, it’s been a decade since the last entry and it makes me think about how many more GTA’s I’ll get to play while I’m alive. New and interesting gameplay systems exists but it’s very much GTA as it ever was.
I’m still on the fence about this game given its 30fps target on current gen consoles and I’m left wondering what a new IP from Rockstar would look like. I wonder whether or not they’ll actually make one in the next 10 years.
The fine folks at DF said it's the best real-time game graphics they've ever seen!
