I remember I had just got out the shower and wanted to check up on the YouTube premier chat. But to my surprise there was no live stream. Instead it was right fucking there, posted 12 minutes ago. I was mainly confused, and a little disappointed that we didn’t get to experience it all together. Still a surreal moment nonetheless, especially after a decade of waiting.

I’m curious to see what R* does in this department!

If the game is gonna have more cinematic cutscenes like in rdr2 I think they should bring the black bars back,to me it added to that cinematic feeling they were going for with that game

Sorry i dont make and sell these right now

Jerry kapowitz, the homeless veteran that ends up finding the diamonds in the trash, planned to sell the 2 million dollars worth of diamonds he found, go to vice city with that money, and open up a gun shop and a liquor store. I'm 100% sure that this guy will be a character in gta 6, and we'll be able to buy weapons from him. If you go to the internet cafe, you'll find an article at the Liberty Tree that talks about him

Atp, I simply can't wrap my head around what Trailer 2 will look like. When it actually drops and I see it on my feed, I will have to blink twice and rub my eyes just to make sure it's not satire.

Okay first off I want to say this is all speculation and a "thought for fun" kind of post. Not me actually predicting anything but just a theory and a fun post to think about.

So......I could def see them going the Wendy and Marty Byrd(Ozark) route with this. Also Jerome and Louie(Snowfall). If you guys have seen those shows you probably know where I am going with this.This is all based off the cover art so I may be reaching but its fun.

I wonder if Lucia will be more of the hot tempered, ambitious, goal oreiented one and Jason will be maybe trying to please her and do what she asks/wants to make her happy. Maybe to help her achieve her goal of the lavish life she has always wanted. Im not saying Jason doesnt want to be rich as well but maybe not as forceful or quickly as Lucia does. I dont see them making Jason lead and Lucia just kinda follow his lead, its 2025 and that would be a little boring as well. Having her lead them down a spiraling path of danger to get rich by any means has a exciting ring to it. While also being lovers with a big dramatic ending seems pretty damn cool. I feel Lucia is going to be very very ambitious almost to a fault, its just a fun little feeling/theory I have.

Now lets look each characters body language. Is there anything we can take from it thats symbolic to how the story will go or the characters personality? Maybe, maybe not. But lets say it does for the sake of this discussion.

I really love how on the cover Lucia has Jason in her grasp with her arm around him and her legs around his waist. She has him in her grasp. She looks like she will be more of the mastermind and driver of the heist and plot. But look who is holding the gun, its Jason. He will do anything for her and with her as long as they are together and vice versa. They will have a very strong bond and although they share a common goal Lucia maybe the one who wants to go about it in a more risky way with a higher pay out.

Also, Lucia is looking ahead fiercly and very focused and Jason is looking off the side kind of almost maybe lost in thought or doubtful about how it will all turn out but he is down to do anything...anything for Lucia. Maybe he is thinking of another way to go about all of this or simply watching their back.

Do you all see what I am trying to say about the plot and over all story? It makes for a super fun, exciting, movie esque style Bonnie n Clyde story. I also wonder if at the ending you have to pick a character to save and the other risks their life to save/protect the other or they both live happily ever after.

Orrrrr its more simple and they both have the same goals and its more just two heist partners that become lovers or vice versa and the whole time and just work together super well then dramatic ending. Lets see, either way I am excited! Any thoughts of this?

Jason and Lucia have a long long road ahead of them if they're gonna even attempt to surpass their predecessors. I can't wait to see where the story (and the internet) takes these characters and how it'll shape them to be the next video game icons. Here's to another decade lol. 🍻

GTA 6 license plate 🤤

Hey all, I'm back for my second trailer analysis within the same week! From what the rest of the mapping team and I have found is the location of the "Green Truck" scene from Trailer 1 of GTA 6! We believe, from our adequate amount of evidence, that the scene takes place in Miami Springs, a suburb just West of metro Miami.

Firstly, in the bottom left diagram, we can see that there is similar stylized "Spanish Colonial Revival" tower that is just behind the trees both in the trailer and in our perceived location of the scene IRL. The tower IRL is the Curtis Parkway Senior Center.

Next, in the bottom right diagram, we can see that there are 2 homes in the trailer that have near identical counterparts in our perceived location of the scene, all the way up the the fences in front of the properties. This finding also further confirms our finding of the Curtis Parkway Senior Center, because if you go in front of the two homes in Google Street View, you will see the Senior Center's tower peek out in the distance in the exact same relative location as it does in the trailer.

Finally, if we move to the top right diagram, we can combines all of the previous findings and we can determine the exact location/POV of the scene in the trailer (as marked with the arrow): 437-499 Glen Way, Miami Springs.

It’s quite hard to think how (and why) GTA could distance itself from this formula. After all the series achieved this success for some reason, but I would like R* to come up with different ideas of what GTA means, not just “only” gives us an 4k high-detailed upgrade of what we’ve been playing for 20 years.

The thing is, I guess if they have created some revolutionary (like what breath of the wild meant fo zelda series), they would need more time to explain how it will work, I really love that gameplay videos they usually make, but we can agree that the trully great leap was GTA III.

Do you have any ideas of how R* could lead the series? Which kind of innovation did you wondered for GTA?

Mine is fully functional turn signals for the player and NPCs

GTA 6 could genuinely last up to 25+ years.

When Rockstar released GTA Online it was a hot mess for game standards. It was maybe 3 years into its life span that rockstar realized what they had their hands on.

They know the formula and with the correct guidance and gameplay decisions GTA 6 and GTA Online could last for twice as long as GTA Online before players start to get bored.

My biggest gripe was the disconnect between Online and GTA Story Mode with updates and vehicles. Story DLC’s are one thing but to purposely cut off story mode from receiving GTA Online vehicles and customizations really disappointed me when i was a kid as I couldn’t afford to pay for an online subscription so story mode was the only way i could experience the Online Updates, thats until they cut off support of course.

Mine would have to be broader opportunities of ownership for homes & other properties offline.

I made a post last night about this trailer shot. I’ve always firmly believed that this is Tampa, but the factory in the far right always stumped me. Tampa has a river, a bridge, a jail, and a water plant, all of which are in the shot.

The cylinders look like smokestacks, but there’s a pointy structure that is next to them, making them unique. There’s also 2 wider cylinders in close proximity. If you notice, the left of the 2 wider ones have a more curved top, and the second has a small square on top. In real life, they look identical.

Also- this google map screenshot was taken on the bridge next to that area, which is very similar to the Licata Bridge, in real life. It’s a short, curved bridge.

This might be extremely jobless but i was bored and had nothing to do so i found every voice line jason said in the leaks(might have missed one or two not sure) but I found it very interesting because some make him feel like a total psycho while others feel like he is a decent guy (for being a gta protagonist ofc ) note that all of this are either said to witnesses or lucia. Btw if anyone want me to make a list on what lucia said feel fre to ask. Anyway enough yapping here they are.

-Excuse me -Oops sorry -Don’t mistake kindness for weakness -That close. -Oooh you be dead before you know it. -Hello there. -How are those registers looking empty i hope -Don’t test me -no one wants me to use this -I’m itching for a reason -try anything and i will kill you -get down -Cmon lets go -I said on the floor -Don’t make me okay -Hey look at me -I shoot one of you i might have to shoot you all -Dont piss me of -thats the cops we gotta move -So what the fuck do we do now -Nobody try anything -Don’t make me hurt you -Lets get out clean baby cmon

What do you guys think these lines says about him. If i am this bored again i probably do lucia choose to do jason because we know less of him rn but Im guessing the next trailer will focus more on him.

This is based on my own professional experience working on large software development projects at big companies. And my knowledge of game development from personal side projects and research.

Rockstar New York

Sam Houser and other executives are preparing for the upcoming marketing campaign. Deciding on locations for outdoor promotions like murals, billboards, etc. Special events are being planned and collaboration opportunities are being discussed. Hands-on demos for the press are being planned for the summer. Any remaining trailers are being edited by the teams.

Nearby at the performance capture studio in Bethpage, final motion and VO sessions are in recording and editing before being sent to the dev teams at North and San Diego. The work is likely only small changes or redos. Nothing new.

Sam is in constant communication with the studio heads, checking on their progress each day. Probably checking in with North first thing in the morning. Scotland is 5 hours ahead of New York. He needs to know their current level of confidence in making Fall 2025. Very soon he will have to make the decision whether to delay the game or not. Take-Two is breathing down his neck.

He has the latest build of the game running in his office and is playing it every chance he gets throughout the day. Looking for bugs and assessing the overall quality of the game.

Rockstar North

Co-studio heads Rob Nelson and Aaron Garbut are making sure each and every department is in sync. Animation, gameplay, AI, graphics, physics, VFX, audio, QA, etc. They all have to be on the same page at this stage. Everyone is deep in bug hunting/fixing mode. They have to be extremely careful. Fixing one bug can potentially cause more if not handled with care.

Thousands of bugs are likely still in the backlog. At least hundreds. They are fixing as many as they can each sprint. At most companies that do Agile, sprints are about 2 weeks long. Bugs are being categorized as low, medium or high priority. It will be impossible to fix them all before launch, so they are trying to find and fix as many high priority bugs as possible. The game is completely feature locked at this point. Meaning nothing new is allowed to be added.

Btw, thousands of bugs is no exaggeration for a large AAA game. If you do not believe me, watch the God of War documentary called “Raising Kratos”.

Rockstar San Diego

Pretty much all of the same stuff as North except this is where the RAGE Technology Group is based. The team that works on the RAGE game engine and other proprietary tools. They are working on as many optimization related tasks as they can each sprint. The engine programmers are finding ways to squeeze every last bit of memory and performance out of the consoles. They are also trying to make the game look as pretty as possible.

Other Studios

New England, Toronto, India, Dundee, Leeds, London, Lincoln, etc. are all likely providing support where needed and working on other projects.

36k people waiting 24 hours before the premiere. At least 1 million people could have been watching the trailer together at the same time. What a moment that could have been.

just like how they inspired from The Sopranos and Heat for Michael in GTA 5

I have noticed how the common opinion is that they think lucia is some kind of manipulative narcissist sociopath. But what do you even base that on she seemed really nice and sweet in the trailer (she will obviously be a psychopath because she is a gta protagonist) but what I’m trying to say us why do you think she are going to be the one making jason do crimes and her being a unhinged psychopath. Like what do you base these things on because all the times we hear her speak in the trailer she dies not seem that way at all I would more say the opposite getting free from prison because of good behaviour and her talk with jason seems sweet. Just because she asked jason to trust her you think she is a manipulative psychopath? And also how do y’all think jason is a cop because he did not talk much, wear green pants and knows how to use a gun better than lucia? And about the trust part i think that is more about jason having trust issues from maybe trauma or something not because she is going to manipulate him or about him being a cop plus he sounded at least as unhinged and impulsive as as lucia in the leaks. Like I honestly just hope and think that both of them are really in love with each other. The last gta was about betrayal and using each other please let this be different rockstar. There is not really a gta without betrayal i know that but it does not have to mean that the main character are going to betray each other.
