They’re just trying to line up their release date with PS6. They want one year of exclusivity on PS5/Xbox, PC release one year later, updated PS6 release one year after that. The goal is to maximize double dipping, which accounted for like 40% of GTA5 unit sales.
That is the most logical comment i found on this topic
Everyone thinking they might remove DEI but this is takejew we're talking about, a company that's literally dedicated to hating Whites
There is no fucking way their motives aren't greed based
PS6 will likely be the last one.
Were there any news on the ps6?
At this point will it EVER come out?
I'm starting to think that they are using the time to purge as much woke stuff out of it, and I only say that because didn't they recently fire all the staff trying to make a union over discord?
What makes you think they're removing woke stuff? It's far more likely that they'd use the time to double down and increase the wokeness in the game.
Personally, I think Rockstar, like the rest of the industry, is suffering a competence crisis while at the same time overexpanding its ambition. It wants GTA VI to be an even bigger event than V, but no longer has the staff with the skills needed to make it happen (or to even make another GTAV from scratch) and is bogged down with too much bureaucracy, leading to development slowing to a crawl. They're also most definitely getting all their ducks in a row to make sure the online component with all its sweet juicy monetization is up and ready to go at release or at least close to it. They know that's where the real money is at.
Nah, i think they're removing it too. They probably smelled blood in the water and are trying to clean up the game even more, make it as politically nimble as possible. They can always double down later, it's a live service game. I think their line of thinking is it's better to undercook than burn.
Yeah no sense in being so blatant with the messaging when they still got away with making a strong empowered Latina one of the main characters and fat black women everywhere (including twerking on moving cars)
That trailer was made 1 year ago, before the presidency results and the big cultural shift hit the shareholders. Don't forget, everyone banked on trump losing again. I doubt they'll remove the more sneaky elements but i think anything blatant is gonna get cut or moved away to dlcs and whatnot. Maybe like with microtransactions in live service games where they sell you the game and add the opium later on.
Don't underestimate woke arrogance. They see themselves as the right side of history, after all.
They're still beholden to shareholders.
And now I'm wondering, have shareholders ever successfully sued a woke corporation for failing to increase shareholder value?
Have any ever even bothered to sue?
I remember when it was due to come out in 2025
That's what Nintendo said about Tears of the Kingdom, and we all know how that turned out.
Oh? I didn't play it, but I thought Tears of the Kingdom was well-received.
2026
:`(
lol, fucking, lmao, they did the meme.
They're going to need the extra year to remove all of the DEI. I still don't have high hopes.
Exactly. That's why I don't have my hopes up.
Why do you think they're removing DEI at all? People who want DEI don't care if it's not popular, they want anyone who doesn't like it to die.
Because every single DEI heavy game has completely bombed for the last few years, and several studios went under because of the 100 million+ budgets. Rockstar is going to have over two billion invested in this one. I guarantee they are freaking out over the change in the zeitgeist and are realizing the risk they would be taking.
I bet it's the exact reason for this delay.
Didn't Rockstar say they wouldn't release GTA6 during the Trump Administration? Boy do they have egg on their face.
Can't believe take2 ordered the assassinations...
they need the extra year because they just fucked themselves royally union busting more than 30 senior employees at once. not only did they directly lose talent doing so, but they're now under heavy legal scrutiny and the rest of the employees aren't very happy about it.
This game is going to be a technical mess. Area quality will likely vary due to age of development being years apart.
Lol. The polish we've come to expect is Indian hikaru dorodango; a hikaru kusodango if you will.
2026s bloodlines 2. Or maybe 2027.
My son told me gta v online is doing too well to just cut the money stream.
GTA6 is now delayed by 6 months every 6 months.
This game is going to be such a shit show if it ever releases
