GTA VI development cost over $1 billion

PS4 CPU: 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo
PS5 CPU: 6 GHz Core 2 Duo

As long as you can still kill cops and hookers and mow down crowds of NPCs it will sell out. Wagies need their catharsis.

Is it the map supposed to be a lot larger too? Not that this should matter that much but the game SHOULD have improved graphics and physics if what we've seen in marketing exaggerate (probably not)

thats nice, nobody mentioned the PS4.

It would be mad funny if the Trump admin or red statesgets really pissy about cops being killed and start making calls for the game to be banned

GTA V was developed for PS3/360. If VI isn't significantly better in term of technology this 1 billion was money laundering

There were cars doing donuts in trailer 1. That's a massive step up from V where every car had traction control.

You couldn't do that in GTA v?

Nope.

1B

Still no confirmation

The number keeps going lower every time (3B->2B->1B)

There is basically no way OR reason for this to have costed 1B

The entire playerbase of GTAV is brown Brazillians playng on RP servers
GTAVI won't have RP servers on release

there was a taketwo meeting or something, that's where the recent 1B figure comes frome

It could flop compared to 5 in theory. If the story sucks, if it's too woke, haven't made any meaningful changes to gameplay. Or the pricing scheme is so high it doesn't gain a real following for multiplayer

Nah, I saw the tweet
They didnt mention anything about the cost and the tweet just made it the fuck up

"they put money in the game like movies do"

Have you seen any movie made in the past few years? They don't even create CGI in-house anymore, which is why somehow the industry is going backwards

Yeah, if you didn't play GTA III the year it came out you missed out on a landmark moment for gaming. Sucks to be you.

Market analysts already have it making $2.7 billion in the first 24hours

They are employing RP server creators though, so I think its something they want to employ in a way similar to Minecraft Realms.

They got thousands of employees working on it. Say it costs them 200 million a year, in development for 6 years, that's 1.2 billion already not including marketing or anything they've spent to support GTA 6. I believe 1 billion at least.

if it flops

this shit is the most popular series all over the globe. hell would have to freeze over

i can bet money that they'll recover the dev cost on day one
it'll be a system sellers, boomers and cod bros will finally bite bullet for new hot gta

Nah. This all happened with GTA 3 and people just got over it. They will bitch about it for a bit though.

The game will be polished and a technological marvel if it is anything like RDR2
The question is whether players will finally get sick of Rockstar extremely restrective mission design considering "movie games" are not cool anymore.

i am sure, some xitter tards and some senator will cry about it
also some troons crying about objectification, bad representation

Yeah I saw that
I do hope we can get official RP servers on day on because I have 0 interest in this piece of shit, that way at least I have RP streams

it's crazy how they are capable of creating systems on par with MGS 5 but you can't use them in any missions like not even different entry points
i hope 6 is little bit more open at least in side stuff

Most of GTA "sales" are digital money laundering, the true sale figures for GTA 5 are close to 7/8 mill

It's definitley not the most expensive game of all time
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop
It's already tied with Monopoly Go! and Genshin will break 1B by the end of the year
Imagine having a smaller budget than mobile games
And besides this, the latest CoD game is CoD 2020 with a budget of 700M, and that had 7 dev studios compared to CoD BO6 that had 9

For maximum realism our studio hired contractors to recruit BBW of color to pose for clay model sculptures in various positions.

We then scanned those models into our 3d model programs for a maximum variety of body shapes to enjoy on the beach.

it's GTA, everyone and their moms are going to buy it. it could be a trainwreck pile of shit and it still wouldn't flop

doesn't gain a real following for multiplayer

The multiplayer will be f2p to maximize the userbase that gets acces to their shark cards

if it's too woke

have you played red dead 2?
black and white folks working together as equals, white apologist main character, can't hurt the indians or draw weapons on their area, women's suffrage side quest, arthur doesn't mind the multiple fruity gay people he meets
still made billions off this game alone

The question is whether players will finally get sick of Rockstar extremely restrective mission design

So many other games are just as restrictive but when it's Rockstar it's a problem. The game will do fine.
People like OP are delusional. "Industry plant vibes" lmao

I've never played a GTA and never intend to, but you're right.

It's GTA, it unfortunately won't flop despite 4 and 5 sucking.

how is this even possible?
GTA has been pervasive in almost every single console or computer platform in the past 30ish years

The real question is if critics will finally have any balls and give them the reviews they deserve, 7/10 at best

Not him but I've never played a GTA a game and my first console was the Atari 2600

Not at all, the restrictive mission complaint is only pushed by a loud minority of contrarians. The vast majority of players need fucking yellow paint to dictate where to go because if something isn’t 100% obvious they give up. So no R*s handholding nature has likely made their games more attractive to the average player

It never interested me. I generally don't play modern-themed games.

I hope they force the ESRB to give it an AO rating
That way we have a precedent to allow AO games on consoles and we kill this kind of censorship for good

Nah, this dogshit is getting 10s everywhere with the reviewers not even playing it

R* games are designed with journalists in mind

i knew aliens existed gotdamm

play vice city. I prefer 4. gta is actually good, but you don't need to play them all to appreciate

It will outsell V, but as a GTA autist i think it looks mid.
Not a fan of the quirky friends or the V style island map. It's just 1 major city and countryside.
Remember how Paleo Bay, Grapeseed, and Sandy Shores were advertised? Like they were huge areas.
This is the game where i stop caring about its future.

gta, fifa and cod are too big to fail
it'll rack billiions in weeks and another billion with the pc release and another 500mil with the enhanced version

WHAAAAAAAAAAT YOU DON'T PLAY THE SLOP? THE DOGSHIT SLOP FOR FUCKING RETARDS? WTF THE GOYSLOP, THE SAFE EDGY SLOP ANON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Fucking cattle

nta but I was guessing that would be why. understandable.
I think park of why I love GTA is that I don't get enough games that are just set in the modern "real world".

I don't know, man. Every time a company is doing better than ever they do absolutely retarded things. Nintendo went from Wii to Wii U, Sony went from PS1-PS2 to PS3 wiping out all profits they made and only managed to hold on thanks to HD TVs, Microsoft managed to make real system sellers and actually appeal to gamers only to throw it all away with Kinect, Bethesda spent like how much time and money on Starfield? Every single major company has made baffling decisions, what should have been free wins turned into losing hundreds of millions or billiions. Rockstar or Take-Two can 100% do something retarded to mess things up

Yeah and that's a cowboy game. With a modern game they can do way more woke stuff.

GTA

flopping

You're deluded.

What games deserve 9/10 to you? Weebshits? Mario?

so i don't have any strong feelings for or against GTA but calling it slop removes all meaning from the word

no that's the point
it's precisely because it was a game set in the old west which modern day conservatives love and want to go back to, that despite it being anachronistically woke, they still loved the shit out of it
as for GTA6 being super woke, it might piss some people off but when you play unshackled in the open world format, you don't even need to follow the storyline and still rack up hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours especially in the online mode and never deal with the woke stuff ever. that's why this game won't fail.

how much of the budget will be marketing?
hard to believe they actually need to spend much given the views on the trailers

How could GTA VI be "super woke"’? If there are trannies you can just murder them.

There isn't even the potential of this game flopping. You know what might actually happen? People will fucking die in hospitals because so many people are going to be taking days off or just not showing up to work that day. The world will actually stop existing for a day or two.

did you skip RDR2?
cant even take your weapons out on the heyahoya reservation

A Rockstar game release is the biggest cultural event in this industry. It's larger than a new Zelda release. It's larger than a new Valve game. It's larger than a new Fromsoft release. It won't fail.

GTAV grossed over $8 billion, they're expecting this to do the same.

2big2fail? hell yeah bois antoher trillion yuan to evergrande

You misspelled pokemon

RDR is a bit different, you might control a outlaw but killing people was never why people played it, it being a western was a bigger selling point.
A GTA where you can' kill NPCs while free roaming would be extremely retarded.

A pretty world is like Assassin's Creed, I can walk around as a tourist and enjoy it but if the gameplay is boring then what's the point. That's not why I'm buying a PS5.

Views don't matter much. The casuals out there 100% need those billboards and ads to even know a game exists, that's why they spend so much on marketing.

ring of power already flopped the same way and it did nothing, because the powers that be stole TRILLIONS from you via the medical scam 5 years ago.
kier starmer is selling the UK back out to the EU as we speak.

I already lost interest in GTA during V anyway, I ain't wasting 100 bucks + new console on florida simulator with politically correct devs.

Rockstar posted a solid block of color to hint at an imminent RDR2 reveal and it became one of the most reposted tweets till that date.

Trailers get hundreds of millions of views

People literally killed each other to grab copies of GTA V they had already preordered.

Other publishers terrified of even launching in the same quarter VI will finally be released in.

Even people I know who no longer game will be picking up a console *just* for this.

I stopped liking GTA when I was 12. You need to be a slave wagecuck to still like to go around exploding and killing npcs without any goal just to relieve the stress of being bossed around everyday

It's larger than a new Fromsoft release

funny cause I pre-ordered night reign today and like I just said lost all interest in gta after v and the pure scummery that was online if you're not a hacker, you know, the just pay actual money or grind for literal months part oh wait no one here plays games.

Just give me ragdolls as fun as IV but with a huge amount of different weapons. IV shooting got boring because of the lack of variety. TBOGT partially corrected this.

Anon Babble is literally the only place I’ve ever seen even consider the idea that will fail let alone be confident of it. There’s not a single male under the age of thirty that I met in real life that’s not getting this game

Even people I know who no longer game will be picking up a console *just* for this.

Woaw I can't believe one person will buy a plastic toy :)
Truly only Rockstar could do this

Cool story bro. I like Elden Ring over any recent Rockstar game. However, I'm not deluded enough to think GTAVI won't be 10x more popular than it.

literally everyone I know who played this game as a kid has quit gaming in general and admit they don't really like video games that much

Autists live in their own bubble. They don't understand normalfags.

a friend of mine (early 40s) never played a single GTA neither, another friend (early 40s) only played San Andreas back then and thought it was decent but not good enough for him to care about the series

content will be 5% SP with the rest locked behind live service MP.

I'm still getting PTSD from V, already can imagine some of the story progress would be coop shit.

i will never take the autist schizo rambling we have on this site when they disregard the huge amounts of normal people in the world

Because Anon Babble is filled with loser contrarians who have no social life

There is literally nothing to do in GTA games

At very least I hope there will be purchasable safehouses in SP this time

Are you serious? Modern call of duty games are pushing 700 million for a budget. It wouldn't be a surprise at all if movie games like GTA are well over a billion. Also marketing? What marketing? It's been two YouTube trialers

but killing people was never why people played

Retard

Normalfags either play GTA once in a lifetime or play sports game. It's a total different public, many people that are going to play GTAVI never played a game

Normalfags play like 1 or 2 games per year and those who don't play games don't know anything. What's there to understand lol

It won't

You vill enjoy the BWC-addicted Latina

movie game

you are a retard

After 25 years you kinda see it all. Only indies are trying new things

"she" looks horrible

On the contrary I don't know anyone that's getting this
I have exactly one friend with ps5, nobody with an xbox series, everyone else has a pc and they're not buying a console for a game
Maybe in 5 years some of them will play it when it's free on the Epic Game Store, or 90% off, but honestly I know 2 other people that played GTA V
And we're talking about people that routinely buy full price games on day one, like your COD, Monster Hunter, Elden Ring, Final Fantasy, Oblivion Remastered even COE33
I honestly think the hype is just ironic online, like Morbius was

Thats not most popular, most milked sure

Everyone I know bought GTAV on release in 2013.

what's wrong with having both an open world to fuck around in and linear missions that aim to be cinematic and full of scripted events
nobody likes games with no mission design, look at how people react to stuff such as nu-ghost recon

How the fuck is a game that's going to have 12-20 hours of cutscenes NOT a movie game?

nta, but a lot of the games nowadays are mocapped with actors getting filmed from all angles so they can put it into the game
the COD with kevin spacey, LA noire, detroit become human, even rdr2 took like 8 years or something to film with people flying in and out of the studio to do 10000 lines

everything revolves around me! Im the universe!

Autism twat

story mode in rdr 2 was unplayable unless unless you were in mood to watch a tv show.
KCD is more story heavy but it lets you fuck around between each object and lets you approach it at your own pace

A game that will have a 150 free roam gameplay, activities and emergent events.

no one I know even bought GTAV

Dude you can even go contrarian with that. It’s the 2nd highest selling game of all time. You are an autistic friend group

rdr2 has that. half the map opens up to you in chapter 2 and most activities can be done in chapter 3

So what, minecraft is the most sold game yet I rarely see people playing it outside of the internet and kids

What will be included in the collectors edition?

i enjoyed my time as a hunter to occasionally did gang stuff and shot some bandits

that is what we call anecdotal evidence my friend

It won't, recently playing GTA4 and there is nothing like GTA, it can't flop Anon, it can't.

this and a dodgers jersey for your chika

KCD is more story heavy but it lets you fuck around between each object and lets you approach it at your own pace

so does skyrim, not hard to do when 90% of quests in your game are about picking up an object or talking to a certain person

Marketing and the salaries / contracts of the thousands of people working on it

yeah and those games are fun. but R* devs are too up in their own asses to let you goof around during their prestigious missions
even gta 4 had freedom where you could finish a lot of mission's early
and KCD still had moments and story beats.

Read

You are an autistic friend group

Huh, weird
It was released in September, everyone else was either buying FIFA/Madden/whatever other sportsball game, waiting for COD or the new consoles that came out
I remember getting Saints Row 4, and I was playing that
It was a super weird release because everyone was talking about GTA V but nobody was actually playing it
I'm just saying that GTA seems like an internet meme not a real life game that real people play
At least the new ones, I remember some friends playing GTA on the ps2, but barely any playing the latest games
Take Arena of Valor/Honor of Kings for example, it makes billions every year but I don't know anyone that actually play it, it's the same thing with GTA

you are dishonest or live in a bubble.

It wont "flop" in sales, even if it ends up being like a 6/10

even gta 4 had freedom where you could finish a lot of mission's early

I was actually surprised with this when I replayed GTA IV after finishing RDR2

also rdr1 was just too simple and repetitive it was carried by good gameplay, music and setting.

How exactly would it flop though

Zoomers are actually pretty far right wing I think they are going to shit all over this woke slop desu

It’ll be the same jank cover shooter they’ve had since IV. No need to change it since the main focus will be on online vehicles, which is their main source of income anyway.

when I was younger I got a job at an ice cream shop, and my boss had a playstation with GTA5 in the back room .and when it was slow we'd go back there and take turns going on rampages. You can't comprehend how comfy that was.

story mode aside, this has always been one of the best things about GTA. The next generation of kids will do the same thing with their siblings and that's why everyone bought it.

I might live in a bubble I guess
But it's not like I don't have friends or know people, I'm in 3 different ttrpg groups, and they have friends themselves
Between friends and studying buddies from my university I interact with dozens of different people on at least a weekly basis, and NOBODY is interested in GTA
Yeah they'll make the "X happened before GTA 6" joke like everyone online does, but the actual interest in spending money on it is zero
It'll make money because a billion indians, a billion chinese and a billion normalfags will buy it, but these people don't feel like real people

GTA 7 might flop if this receives mass negative reactions for whatever reason but 6 is going to break records.

People are going to pay $100 to watch 300 lbs Shaniquas twerk against the patriarchy and that's pretty funny

Even as a GTA hater, its delusional to think this game will flop.
Marketing works. People will play this just because other people are playing this. Even normalfaggots who never play games will talk about it.

Why are you posting the same webm in every gta6 thread?

wiki:

The generational gap of political positions could be due to the fact that today's youths grew up in different sociopolitical environments to their parents and grandparents - environments which make them more likely to go to university, correlating with socially liberal views on certain issues.[25] Millennials are also the first generation to own less than their predecessors at the same age, and, with Gen Z exhibiting similar trends, economically redistributive policies tend to be popular with the generation.

actual interest in spending money on it is zero

It'll make money because a billion indians, a billion chinese and a billion normalfags will buy it

Don't these statements contradict?

You probably are the one with an autistic friend group. My friends are massive normalfags, some are fathers that don't even play games while others only play football games

you could spend a trillion dollars on the game, that isnt going to improve the PS5's hardware

Zoomers are so buckbroken they don't even know what's optimization anymore
Sad sight

that real people play

You aren't a real person autist, youre a shut in loser with online autistic friends

This all happened with GTA 3 and people just got over it

Nah
In my country politicians blame games for everything again
It will never end, these faggots will always need a scapegoat and games is a low hanging fruit

I gonna pay that to run down that to drive down the beach full speed in a semi truck with a semi chub.

There were cars doing donuts in trailer 1

ah yes the trailer where literally no gameplay was shown and it was all staged scenes

200 billion autists

I think it’s easier to rationalize that you’re the autist instead of the rest of world.

million*

I have the self awareness to realize that I’m in a social bubble but I’m too retarded to understand why that is

Talk to literally any brown-skinned male age 18-40. My boomer stepdad played GTA5 on release. GTA RP servers house all the autistic freaks who are too poor to play VR Chat. The reason GTA is so popular is because it’s able to appeal to all of these groups at once.

industry plant

it's a game that taps into the american dream. The urge to TAKE what you feel you're owed and buy a ferrari and a mansion and work your way up the criminal underworld is like a core part of american pop culture. To speed through red lights and run over that fat lady in the crosswalk.
Sure the games are flawed, they dont capitalize on that feeling as well as they could, and it's repetitive etc, but no other game quite has that feeling you get when you start up a new GTA and get let loose into the world.

And there's 8 billion in the world, tard

it'll be a system sellers

system seller 5 years into the generation

Grim.

Flops

Are you fucking stupid?
If just the people that liked the recent trailer in the first five hours bought the game, they'd break even.
Think about that.
That's people with youtube accounts, who found and watched the video directly, within five hours of release- so not people waiting until work was over to watch it then- and who didn't just view it, but actively clicked like.
These are the dedicated fans.
If JUST they bought it, rockstar would break even.

And that's back when the presumed cost of the game was two billion, not one.

i really like this interpretation

this gen is grim with 6 year dev cycles

It’s almost like I corrected myself right after here

They aiming for retard double dipping when PS6 and PC port came out.

Nah I'm planning on asking my parent this game for my birthday

Kind of
I don't know anyone that's interested in GTA, but there's probably billions of people that are, they just don't feel like real people to me, just like people that play Honor of Kings/Monopoly Go or whatever other weird game that makes billions off of people that play exclusively that
We meet IRL to play, I don't have friends that I never met face to face
I don't know any brown skinned male aged 18-40

It's just a console title. If you got in on consoles before they died in 2013 you're basically a household brand like clorox. They're the bare minimum effort trend chasers like fromsoft and gearbox

You need to be at least 30 years old to post on this forum.

The point is that you don't know what is a true normalfag since you're chronically online. 200 million bought the game? Wow, 4% of the population(excluding India and China)

they just don't feel like real people to me, just like people that play Honor of Kings/Monopoly Go or whatever other weird game that makes billions off of people that play exclusively that

GTA is trying to become the next Roblox/Fortnite, it's trying to appeal to everybody which is the problem

But From and Gearbox games are fun

Doubt it.

My parents gave me money for my 29th birthday, will that stop this year for my 30th?

Shouldn't they make the game f2p then?
That would be a great move actually

bro what

They do focus more on the online but GTA 5 is still in best sellers every week because of casuals buying it every week, even if you can sell a game for 20-40$ that adds up real quick if it never leaves

eventually they will sell the multiplayer only segment for very cheap for this reason.

gta 5 is a very badly optimised game though, but it still looks good, gta 6 just needs to look the same as gta 5 and run better and I think everyone will be happy, I'm just worried that they'll try to improve graphics, that no one asked for and the game will still be a badly optimised shitshow, "wow look at the asshairs on this stray dog, in 10 fps" I hope they'll focus on performance, but those "wow look at the detail of this beer can" posts have me worried, I don't care, just make the game run better

F2p games make more money that p2p games
If you plan to make money from in game shops you should make the game f2p
But making it f2p means that even more people will play it and pay for the battle pass or whatever they put in
So just make it f2p at that point
It'd make more sense

GTAV is a game aimed at English speakers. Those that play GTAV in a foreign language is likely completely negligible. Quick google search of English speakers gave me 1.35 billion in the world. The number R* gave is 215 million let’s say 15 million are non English. Thats around 1 in 6 English speakers owns the game. Lets be even more generous and say 150 million of those copies sold are from English speakers. Then that puts us at 1 in 9 English speakers own GTAV

flops

It won't because it will be objectively good, independent of your or anyone else's opinion.

It'll never flop. Even my normalfag friends who don't play games were talking about it when trailer 2 dropped and considering getting a PS5. Even my boomer father asked me if I heard of this new game. GTA is simply a cultural phenomenon at this point.

But making it f2p means that even more people will play it and pay for the battle pass or whatever they put in

Take-Two will be as greedy as they can so I don't think they'll make the online F2P, it might be pay to play for all we know. Or at the very least they'll lock away all of the best features for GTA +. They already locked away tons of cars and such for GTA +.

Nintendo kids live in a bubble.

Because it's a perfect illustration of GTA gameplay.

I wouldn't say so, the japanese gta server is on maintenance too, whenever you open the gta section the top 5 streams are almost always non english

Not remotely.

I hope they've done the map outside Vice City well, Los Santos was great in 5 but outside it was shit.

Fromsoft has been releasing the same game for 16 years. Gearbox has been doing the same. Rockstar's been releasing the same game for 24 years. Microsoft's been releasing halo for 24 years. Capcom's been releasing DMC for 24 years.

there is no way they will release it for free when people are gearing to pay $100 for the base edition
even now the stats are like 300k copies sold per month or something for gta5
i guarantee people will pay for multiple copies for different consoles and for different family members

still the minority after all the mental gymnastics

You know damn well retards triple dipped

GTA V was a PS3 game anon, GTA skipped an entire generation. At worst it will look like the best looking PS4 games but with a massive open world.

I don't think they'll charge more than 70-80 for base, for one they don't want to price out all the kids and poor people out there who could spend 50-500 a month or shark cards. I know that sounds contradictory but it's different when people have something on their hands or not. Not to mention the people who don't own next-gen consoles, if they charge 100 or whatever that's on top of the 500 they're already spending

1 in 9 is still massive. The world is not dudes in their 20s.

I see you never played GTA.

Meant for:

movie game

Leave here. Your opinions have been voided.

And?
Just because the game is the same doesn't mean it's not fun

It cannot flop.
Even if it's complete shit, it won' stop flop, at most it'll damage the brand for the future and that's all.

game is called "stealing cars"

NOO you're not supposed to drive the cars it's a walkable city!!!

youtube.com/watch?v=uDm0WNC1CB4

be rockstar ceo

can be an asshole and sell GTAV2 for $100 or more

or be the hero of the people and sell it for $50

which way, black man?

It cannot flop.

Even if it's complete shit, it won' stop flop

And that's a good thing. GTA has rooted itself as one of the greatest video game franchises of all time. A pillar in the pantheon of video game gods.

Well actually they're regressing. They can't even design dungeons anymore and they can't even bother to pay for an animation at the beginning of the game. Bosses are now getting worse, not better. Fundamental aspects of the game are broken because they're essentially modding Demon's Souls. They're removing multiplayer functionality and their general game design is getting worse

Likely $70 to $80, higher base price on games hurt microtransaction sales this has been known for a while now. And mtx is a huge money maker for R* and you can likely attribute half of GTAV financial success on MTX. Anyone thinking they’re go for $100 or more are retarded. It’s why you can buy online and sp separately for GTAV and RDR2 now

GTAV2

It's GTAIV2

GTA:O2

No we can drive cars again, see trailer 1.

This is the one scenario in which it would be possible for GTA 6 to flop, but it's not going to happen. Rockstar always prices its game the same as the (inferior) competition.

shill bot or brown?

wheres the marketing? they havent paid for ads anywhere, they've released 2 trailers, thats it. They havent even BEGUN to spend on marketing you stupid dumb shitskin nigger. And i was under the impression they were close to 2 billion in development or more, not 1.

extreme reductive logic like this just makes you out to look like you have nigger-tier iq. Rethink posting in future outside of r*ddit.

only idiots think this game will flop...the name is too big to fall plus normies are already taken over it by his hype

the same browns that are spreading on europe and america?yeah idiot it wont flop

I think the best thing about GTAVI is that it's going to make other publishers think they can charge $100 a game and that's going to be highly comical to watch

What do you mean industry plant lol they are the industry
Have you known about Rockstar for only a month or something?
