It doesn’t say gt6 confirmed. It says there’s another GTA game in the works, it could be gta /San Andreas VR for oculus which is already confirmed.
That being said it’s probably GTA6. I’m hyped.
I’m surprised they don’t make an MMO or free to play game already. Don’t those make more money?
- holtkam2 5y agoYeah I do think that it's pretty implied heavily that it is indeed a 'mainline' entry in the series
- curiousgal 5y agoI mean the industry has a consistent history of bait & switch (or straight up lying) so I am not holding my breath.
- Victerius 5y agoHalf-Life: Alyx has entered the chat.
- Shared404 5y agoPeople were upset about that? A traditional "Half-Life 3" was never going to live up to the hype, the only hope for the series was something offering new experiences - and a game becoming the poster child for VR gaming seems pretty successful. People don't want "Half-Life 3". They want "Game-that-makes-me-feel-like-half-life-did". A standard M+Kb FPS isn't gonna do that anymore, they're well, standard.
- deadbunny 5y ago> People don't want "Half-Life 3". They want "Game-that-makes-me-feel-like-half-life-did". A standard M+Kb FPS isn't gonna do that anymore, they're well, standard. I disagree. Sure there are tons of FPS games out there, 95% are multiplier focused and have minimal to zero story, and it was the story that people remember from the Half-Laife series IMO. Alyx was/is fantastic and really shows what it takes to make a VR game, everything game system wise "just works" and feels natural (on an Index at least), and the story was fine. Sure it's not HL3 but it's a good game in the HL universe. I think the problem with HL3 is that no matter what they deliver large chunks of people will be disappointed and Valve have zero need to release anything ever again so there is no pressure to even try.
- Shared404 5y agoYou may be right. I've never played Half Life, but am currently playing through the MCC largely for the story. They definitely missed the boat on releasing it though, or maybe <wishfulthinking>they're holding it and Portal 3 as Linux exclusives for when M$ steps too far</wishfulthinking>
- KerrAvon 5y agoAre you kidding? Half Life 3 could still be a huge hit with a decent script and a modern engine. Not everything has to advance the state of the art. The Mandalorian doesn't do anything new. It puts you back in the Star Wars universe of the late 1970's, with a compelling set of characters, environments, and scripts to match. That's all a new Half Life (or Portal) game would have to do.
- Reubachi 5y agoAgreed, but the elephant in the room is that Mandalorian is so popular with millennials + similar age groups because of the massive amounts of fan service in the show. It's not particularly fantastic writing or plot development. I would not want to have a HL3 that relied on "DAE Glados? DAE Team Fortress Hats?", and I really, really respect Valve for not doing that.
- deadbunny 5y agoI might be the exception here but I've really enjoyed The Mandolorian despite not liking the films. While it's set in the SW universe and has lots of references I probably don't notice them over obvious things like major characters showing up. For me it's a perfectly fine show, nothing groundbreaking but definitely above average.
- leetcrew 5y agoyes, that is the official gaben explanation for hl3. I really doubt the original plan in 2007 was to wait indefinitely for some sufficiently cool new tech, but whatever. it doesn't really explain why hl2:ep3 never happened, despite having a mature engine to develop against. I think people would be a lot less upset if a "standard m+kb" ep3 that didn't end on such a cliffhanger had been released sometime around 2010.
- Shared404 5y agoI definitely agree that it's a retconned explanation, but it also makes sense for where we are now in the games industry. I'm in my early 20's, and have never played HL. I suspect that's not super nonstandard. So I agree. It should've been released, but they missed the boat, and now we all have to live with it.
- YXNjaGVyZWdlbgo 5y agoIt will be a live service game named GTA without suffix so they can milk it longer.
- Osiris 5y agoI suspect it's a mobile GTA game designed to create a sense of FOMO and using microtransactions to scratch that itch, eventually relying on a small number of "whales" to support the game.
- ricardobayes 5y ago"the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series" is definitely a next major version
- brnt 5y agoWouldnt mind a side step like GTA London. But, since it is Vice City o'clock, I'm stoked just for the soundtrack.
- wongarsu 5y agoAt least Wikipedia counts GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas as "main series", leaving the possibility of a game that is new but not called GTA 6. But I agree that it doesn't sound like San Andreas VR or something like that.
- bloodyplonker22 5y agoI hope they saw what happened with the "Diablo sequel".
- mortenjorck 5y ago> I’m surprised they don’t make an MMO or free to play game already. Don’t those make more money? GTA Online is F2P in every way apart from its bundling with a retail single-player game. It's a full-on live service offering with events and an economy built on in-game currency that can be purchased as IAPs. Many speculate that GTA Online's success is the primary reason Rockstar hasn't focused on a new single-player GTA for most of a decade.
- gonehome 5y agoYeah, I'm glad they've announced GTA6 - I find the GTA online stuff boring/uninteresting. I was worried because it was such a cash cow and relatively easy/cheap to work on that we may never get another high quality story. Red Dead Redemption 2 was really great, I wonder what they'll do for GTA6.
- jimmygrapes 5y agoHopefully optimize some of it so that it's playable on a reasonably affordable GPU within the next 10 years
- f6v 5y agoGTA online is the reason there was no GTA 6 yet. It’s just making too much money to care.
- silisili 5y agoThis makes me rather sad, as someone who typically doesn't play "online." GTA used to have a lot of 'interim releases' or what have you, that were like their own game based on the same engine. Ballad of Gay Tony, Lost and the Damned, etc. Just look at the release history on the wiki[1]. They were churning out releases of some type nearly every year, then nothing since 2013. That's what these microtransactions and IAP online lead to :(. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto
