Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look [video]
- swozey 1mo agoSold my 4090 last year, cant wait to play this in 10 years. Did they say what they're playing it on in the video? Is that ps5?
- ebbi 1mo agoYep PS5. But apparently for PS5 Pro as well, it will be capped at 30fps (!).
- al_borland 1mo agoThis is disappointing. I bought a PS5 Pro mostly for this game. I didn’t want to make the trade off between graphics and frame rate, which seemed to be what the base PS5 often makes people do (from what I read). I guess we can hope for a future update once they figure out how to optimize more.
- bean469 1mo agoIf you have a jailbroken PS5, you can get FPS patches that unlock the framerate for many games. RDR2 runs smoothly at 60FPS in 1080p with the patch [1]. I suspect that such patches will be released for GTA6 as well soon after release 1. https://youtu.be/QACSZ2S5HLo?t=232 https://youtu.be/QACSZ2S5HLo?t=232
- ebbi 1mo agoYeah, I'm a bit disappointed as well. Based on what I've read on various forums, I'm not holding my breath for any future updates that will unlock higher fps given CPU is already constrained, and PS5 Pro's benefits over the PS5 is GPU. I guess it will be a typical Rockstar play of buying the PS6 version to get 60fps.
- satvikpendem 1mo agoWhy did you sell the 4090?
- anal_reactor 1mo agoTo pay off the mortgage.
- swozey 1mo agoI'm traveling in a rv and only generate 600w of solar max in the best conditions a few hours a day, the 4090 itself took 500w. For comparison sake, my 24v rooftop air conditioner takes between 350-1200w and my oven takes 1200-2000w, my fridge takes under 100w. I have 12kw total battery capacity (and I'm never at 100%). This of course isn't including all my lights, fridge, etc. And I don't run anything as much as my computer. I game on my m1 max macbook pro now which is shockingly good at ~100wh. I tried to make it make sense but it just doesnt. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMRWCkjBSoFUpIKFbcPhds5qxM2piBpH1xnJ7rSAU_jf2aoK6UV79bjRu37_PFAiw?key=VnNJQUx6WWtEcWJWczdxbUo0R2hmZ2h6QlVneUF3 https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMRWCkjBSoFUpIKFbcPhds5... I have enough battery charging frustrations with the few things I do run daily.
- satvikpendem 1mo agoShould've kept the GPU even if unused rather than sold it for whenever you're done traveling as they are much higher in price now if you wanted to re-buy, such as for local LLM usage.
- swozey 1mo agoI knew I shouldn't have responded to your stupid question. I didn't ask for your input.
- satvikpendem 1mo agoSorry if it came off that way, I was just confused why anyone would sell such an item, especially with the market as it is today, if they weren't desperate for money or something which you didn't seem to imply you were.
- cromka 1mo agoGeForce Now sub for a year can be had for 150 USD. The most premium one giving you access to their newest gear. I hate subscription economy as much as the next guy but this is a very good deal in current environment.
- TiredOfLife 1mo agoNo GTA game is on GeforceNow
- wickedsickeune 1mo agoGeForce Now allows you to play any game you own on steam, am I mistaken that you can play GTA V and IV and San Andreas (the horrible remake) this way?
- workfromspace 1mo ago"almost" any game, and not just Steam, but Xbox too.
- TiredOfLife 1mo agoNo. Only games the publishers allow.
- satvikpendem 1mo agoNo you cannot, publishers sued Nvidia a while ago claiming it was unauthorized (even though it wasn't, it's just a cloud computer) so now Nvidia only allows specific games to be played. However other cloud GPU providers allow you to run Windows and Steam to play whatever game you want.
- cromka 1mo agoCan't imagine they won't try to get it working
- swozey 1mo agoI found this link today, 30fps and they're unsure if 60fps will ever be a thing for the ps5 https://kotaku.com/gta-6-will-be-30fps-at-launch-rockstar-reportedly-not-sure-about-60fps-performance-mode-2000729032 https://kotaku.com/gta-6-will-be-30fps-at-launch-rockstar-re...

- Fricken 1mo agoIt looks great. I'm conventionally a critic of the pursuit of realism in games, particularly with faces, because of the uncanny valley, but the faces look great. They're not uncanny. GTA VI is the biggest single entertainment property of all time and we've waited a dog's age for it to drop. It appears the level of polish and attention to detail throughout is unprecedented. After GTA V the franchise was feeling played out for me. I thought I had decided I wasn't going to buy a console just so I can experience GTA VI, but my mind it seems is changing. It looks banger. It looks like it really does have the power to elevate the whole industry.
- danpalmer 1mo agoIt looks like Rockstar have nailed a solid 2026 update to previous releases, everything looks great. But is that enough? It should be, but given the billions spent on development I think there's an expectation of more. It also looks like they've kept the art and writing fresh for 2026. GTAV feels dated at this point, no criticism of course, and I was concerned that they would fail to modernise into a world that is quite different now than 13 years ago, but it seems they've likely succeeded at that. I'm looking forward to playing, eventually, when it comes out on desktop. But is this the game of a generation that justifies buying a console? I'm not sure.
- Dig1t 1mo ago>I was concerned that they would fail to modernise into a world that is quite different now than 13 years ago What do you mean by this? In what way has the world changed that you thought they might fail to capture?
- danpalmer 1mo agoI think it's mostly about the characters. GTAV was, in my opinion, much lighter-hearted than this is looking. Trevor was a hoot, Michael's marital problems were made light of, even Franklin as probably the most serious character still had plenty of quite direct comedy written around him. I'm not sure that would go down well in 2026. The redneck thing feels tired, the public narrative of wealth inequality would likely make Michael feel out of touch, and much of the audience would have identified with Franklin but he doesn't really have the struggles that today's Millennials and Gen-Z have. These two characters seem more realistic in that sense. Less direct comedy (although I still see that there's the iconic GTA parody in places), a couple who are probably going to be much more relatable even if they're criminals, and a standing in society that is more relatable. It's not that the comedy wouldn't land, the parody/satire is important and it looks like it's still there, it's more that I think V depended on some stereotypes that are long gone, or that society recognises differently now.

- 2OEH8eoCRo0 1mo agoIt looks very good but two "bad guys suddenly crash the party" missions in one video?
- no-name-here 1mo agoThere's the one at the end - I'm guessing the other is the police raid on the drug lab at the beginning? Personally I wouldn't have put them in the same bucket.
- danpalmer 1mo agoThe second one is pretty much directly a Die Hard parody – new building, party, execs off doing drugs, dead guy in the lift. I'm looking forward to that one, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot more in there.
- tancop 1mo agoMost combat missions are bad guys crashing somewhere. It can be hired killers at a party, cops at a failed robbery, rival gang in a setup or a home invasion. It's just how games and action movies work. And it shows off shooting mechanics without revealing too much about the story.
- pier25 1mo agoAmazing they run this with a base ps5 from 2020.
- K3UL 1mo agoI was honestly surprised, I was really expecting that it was at least from a ps5 pro. Even the 30fps did not shock me
- ButlerianJihad 1mo agoSo the first and perhaps only experience I had with GTA was in 1999. A friend in the goth-industrial-club scene was having a birthday party, and invites me out to her apartment in Phoenix. There are plenty of people at the party, late into the night. We sample rare bottles of lambic ale and enjoy the goth vibes. I linger for far too long. I suppose some of us crash out and sleep late into the next morning. So there is a kid playing GTA on our hostess's Playstation. He's a stranger to me, and quite a bit younger. I was about 27 years old already. It might've been GTA I or the sequel; I don't know: I didn't play it anyway. But I am kind of thrilled to see it in action and curious to know how the gameplay goes, so I am sitting next to him and watching, and meanwhile our hostess is in the kitchen, or cleaning up, or whatever. And the kid plays half-heartedly, until he perceives us to be alone together, and he turns around on the sofa and kisses me on the mouth for no particular reason. Obviously I am repulsed, and that is an unwelcome sort of gesture, and so I figure out how to trap him outside on the balcony, and I lock the door behind him. Then I seek out our hostess, and I tell her what had happened. And she cracks up laughing; it is so funny to her (it's funny to me, 27 years later for sure.) And she says I can exit gracefully, and she will take care of this guy after I'm gone. So that is my story about Grand Theft Auto. Parents, don't let your kids play GTA because they may try some shit on their friends or party guests without consent. Try Stardew Valley instead.
- anal_reactor 1mo agoTBH life taught me to wait until after release so that we know if it's actually good or the hype wasn't worth it. For all the good work done in GTA V it just sucks IMO. You can see the 180° flip between GTA SA "do whatever you want to pass the mission" and TBoGT "you get a checkmark if you do the mission exactly as designed". Either way, I don't care about the console release, I'm waiting for the PC release. And I'm also waiting for Witcher 4. If GTA VI is good, then I guess it'll will be worth it to buy a new PC just to be able to play these games on high settings 4k, despite the anus-watering prices.
- xinayder 1mo agoI'm a bit skeptic of the game because it's pushing higher prices in the industry while being totally unjustified. But I'm not surprised at all? Like, all of these things the game does were/are entirely possible within the FiveM scripting API. Take a look at GTA RP servers like NoPixel, they've been pushing the limits so hard on a 13 year old game. And the same API exists for Red Dead 2, which has a visual upgrade over the engine used for GTA V. I don't know, I guess I'm expecting something to be wrong since it's very frequent and common nowadays for AAA games to ship broken and incomplete. I hope I'm wrong, though.
- tuesdaynight 1mo agoIf there's a game that can push higher prices, it's GTA VI. I'm not a fan of the last game, but I never expected a game to be one of the most anticipated entertainment products ever
- JKCalhoun 1mo agoOld guy here. Perhaps escape (escapism) is something I look for in games. To that end, the GTA series just leaves me scratching my head. What a bleak world they deliver.
- deleted 1mo ago[deleted]
- mcphage 1mo agoYeah, I get what you're saying. I really like their city reconstructions, and they add a lot to do, but I could certainly do without the yet-again-rising-through-the-criminal-ranks storyline.
- archagon 1mo agoWhen I was 13, these games were delightfully naughty and super exciting. But with age comes empathy, and it just doesn’t feel good anymore to rob and kill randos in a virtual world. I see enough of that shit on the news. Same reason I probably can’t rewatch Clockwork Orange despite loving it as a teen. Crime, murder, and rape aren’t just abstract concepts anymore. (Thankfully, there are plenty of games that don’t wallow in darkness. And don’t take 1000 hours to beat!)
- VCFundedGenYer 1mo agoInsane how a billion dollar game runs like garbage. Can't even reach 60FPS. What did they do for 13 years and all that money? Such an overhyped game.
- rudolftheone 1mo agoYou know, I would also love to see 60fps, but let's wait till the premiere, and then - just show me the list of games with that level of details and rich world running 60fps on machines like xbox or ps5.
- andric 1mo agoGTA used to be colorful, fun, funny, and cinematic. GTA VI seems to be missing that entirely. The whole world seems far too bleak and close to life (in a bad way). This isn’t the GTA I used to know and love. Sad to say this will be the first GTA game I’ll miss out on (I’ve played all of them, even GTA London 1969, GTA Advance, and Chinatown Wars). I don’t know who’s running the show at these big game companies, but they sure know how to ruin games that used to be fun. Assassins Creed, Halo, and now GTA.
- rudolftheone 1mo agoI think that's something younger players are looking for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, I - as an old chap - am still going to have fun playing!
- thewhosoldthewo 1mo agoWell I for one sold my kids to get the Netflix subscription. And my wife is dead. idk how
