WAIT... GTA 6 IS GOING TO BE CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE!? NO!
Game: GRAND THEFT AUTO 6
Platform: Next Gen Console Exclusive (PS5 and X/S Series)
Genre: Action-Adventure, Open World
Release: 2025
Overview
The world has been silently waiting.
After 10 years of clickbait about GTA 6 leaked video footage and information, it's always been a hoax, but not anymore! This is real, and you should think about it. Rockstar's previous title was Red Dead Redemption 2, which in my mind has the most immersive and complex world building, character development, and overall excellent experience for anyone wanting to live through the life of the wild west.
Just consider the possibilities that GTA 6 may bring. I am overwhelmed with incomprehension. Do you believe they are capable of surpassing that title given that they have such highly experienced and promising developers at their disposal?
Speculations
This is all speculation, but the trailer does reveal a number of features that tease at potential content, like Adult Night Clubs for 18+ players, purchasing and occupying a house, maintaining the lawn, acting as a police officer, and possibly reviewing body camera footage, surveillance camera's, and maybe even adopting dogs and pets?
Graphics & Presentation
I'll use the word "insane" to characterize the appearance and feel of this trailer. It has an incredibly immersive appearance and so much potential for the future of gaming.
As we have almost become accustomed to at this point, I can't help but suspect that this is a pre-rendered cut-scene, which is frequently omitted from the complete release of games that the majority of developers create over the past few years.
Although it is extremely distressing, the fact that it is not the work of a developer such as Ubisoft or Activision improves my outlook greatly that this can and will be the most realistic and insanely presentable online video game experience the world has ever seen. The dense and vibrant appearance of the streets, supported by civilians, the homeless, streamers and social media and shops, elicits an additional speculation.
Could they have grasped the notion that the majority of their users are casual and heavy Role-player's? Will we have the ability to build a social media platform inside of the city of Leonida? There are so many questions that desperately need answers!
The potentialities are boundless; the ideas regarding mini-games, activities, gangs, and many other things that come to mind with the trailer reveal. That's not even taking into the consideration of the main campaign story mode.
The new approach to the Protagonist
All of this is a first. In contrast to the male protagonists of all previous installments in this franchise, the protagonist of this one is a female named Lucia. This is an exceptionally potent and admirable decision in pursuit of equality and, at last, something new and different. While the preceding characters were still great as a whole, I believe it was a wise decision to switch up the gender for this particular one.
Building the potential narrative proves to be a challenging task as there isn't much here in this presentation to really go off of besides the previous fact. Through her criminal activities, Lucia seems to seek out a partner and develops a relationship of trust with him. We will have to await additional information regarding this fact.
Conclusion
I failed to observe that the game was listed as an exclusive to next-gen consoles due to my excitement. I cannot claim that I have ever been a fan of exclusivity, particularly with regard to consoles, because I simply dislike physical copies of video games and the constant fighting between companies trying to make you buy new devices.
With knowledge and understanding that I abstain from purchasing consoles other than Nintendo handhelds. This is extremely upsetting information; hopefully, they will modify it so that it is no longer exclusive in the future somewhere down the line.
It has been quite some time, and I optimistic and hopeful that it will live up to the expectations of its release. Additionally, it is worth noting that although we are all present and potentially witnessing history being made, there are a great number of individuals who were unable to make it this year or to this day. I am deeply devastated by this and wish that by 2025, we will all have the opportunity to witness GTA 6.
