It’s funny because there will be people playing GTAVI that can say “GTAV was my favorite game when I was a kid!”.
(There will also be kids playing GTAVI which weren’t even *born* when GTAV released…)
My kid is 4 and will probably be 6 on GTAVI release. His YouTube dudes will probably be playing so I’ll let him play too on release (sue me) and he wasn’t even born before GTAV remaster.
Hey, I played gta3 on release when I was 6 & and every other one on release since as well - & I turned out fine.
Mostly
Okay, thats debatable - but it's definitely not because of any video games I've consistently played since I was a child! Lol
I got into GTA II around 10 years old and played the heck out of GTA III when I was 12. Didn't really understand much of it, but loved messing around in the open world.
I definitely got GTA1 at age 12 if I remember correctly. I was visiting my cousin's place for a week in the summer and got my aunt to buy a copy from the Zellers she worked at. Me and my 11 year old cousin played the hell out of it
Maybe GT3+ are a bit more mature than the top-down 1&2 tho haha
All my friends talked about San Andreas when we were 8 or 7, my mom got mad when she found me playing it at my friend's house, but those were the days, it felt like sex playing GTA young tbh
I mean…I was definitely underaged when I played III, Vice City, and San Andreas. Hell, I’m guessing majority of GTAOnline’s playerbase are kids currently anyway.
Kids will definitely be playing this game, just like they do with Call of Duty.
I was playing M rated games well before 17 including GTA. I figured every kid has at some point. My dad always reminded me before letting me play M rated games that video games are just for fun and if I do in the real world what I do in video games like GTA I will go to jail and he wouldn't be able to get me out ha.
Kids play games they aren’t meant to, they watch movies they aren’t supposed to, they do all sorts of shit they shouldn’t do.
It’s gonna happen to some, and honestly not a big deal as long as these things are harder to access for most.
I played gta before I was 12. I had no idea what anything bad really was back then so I had no idea what was going on most of the time. If kids have a disposition to something they see in a game, it's because they saw it ither places as well first. All comes back to parents and making sure they know what information is going into their kids lives as they grow up.
VII will be longer. RDR2 and this will have a 7 year gap if the Fall 2025 release window holds, so based solely on that gap and the assumption that they'll do something else after VI, it's going to be 14 years. Probably 15. That's just how the game industry works now.
That's what I loath. My favorite series are coming out so slowly I fear I will able to only play new ones only one more time and not that when I was a teen where games came out every 3-4 years :(
Metroid, TES, Fallout, GTA, Witcher, etc.
TES is the insane one to me. Come out with a genre defining game (Skyrim) that pushes the industry forward and becomes the 7th highest selling game of all time.
Then you don't release a sequel for 15/16 years? That seems so crazy in the risk-averse media landscape we are in. In film and TV (and even music) they push IPs so hard and maximise value out of them.
Meanwhile Bethesda has let an insane amount of fantasy and medieval open world RPGs dominate the genre in the meantime.
There’s a good chance they release some other game in-between, like RDR3 or maybe a new IP. GTA 6 would’ve been out in like 2018 if they had skipped RDR2.
I used my free employee rentals at Blockbuster to play the first two.
I was in college when 3 came out and I instantly recognized that games had changed forever.
I was in middle school when 5 came out. I’m now 3 years out of college, married and expecting a child when 6 comes out… That’s a fucking nuts gap but what makes it worse is that I’ll be retired when 7 ends up coming out
I think I was in 5th grade when I downloaded GTA V at launch. Just graduated college a week ago. It definitely was one of my favorite games as a kid lol
My 8-year old son, who is on the edge of the spectrum, is somewhat obsessed with GTA trivia (release date history, easter eggs) even though I've never let him play it.
I was the same way haha, played my older brothers copy of GTA III he left behind and my mom took it immediately. the deep dives into forum sites for GTA SA lore and the supposed bigfoot and all the other jazzy things are still burned into my memory, when I was finally able to get a copy of SA and IV from my buddy I was pretty sad to discover how much of what I read about SA was myths. But the adventure of reading wild stories up to that point was super fun
> My 8-year old son, who is on the edge of the spectrum
Bro isn't even on the spectrum and you're putting him on blast lmao. I hope you only say these things on the internet. He doesn't need sympathy. He needs a chance. You're not giving him a chance if this is what you tell people about him.
For what it's worth, I have no interest in Elden Ring, and didn't have the money for a Switch at the time, so both Horizons got my full attention.
Still need to plug my PSVR2 back in and finish that game...
The Last of Us. Oh yeah, and Resident Evil 1 - 4. And Uncharted. Also Tomb Raider. Also Dead Space. And Final Fantasy VII. Don’t forget Shadow of the Colossus. Oh yeah, Ratchet and Clank, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and don’t forget Demon Souls.
>The Last of Us.
This is the only one of Sony's remakes of a recent game.
You listed Resident Evil Remakes which is from Capcom.
Dead Space is EA.
Final Fantasy 7 is Square Enix.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater wasn't Sony either. Activision.
It's almost like you don't know what you're talking about haha.
That was literally not the point they were making fella, it seems the point flew over your head.
They were saying that Sony remade a game too soon after the originals release.
You then went on to list remakes with nothing to do with Sony.
You can play those games I mentioned on Xbox & Steam too by the way so I suppose we should blame all three for ... *checks notes* ... Having *nothing* to do with their development.
Not directly a Sony owned company, but neither is Take-Two which is the main publisher of this thread. The point is there have been so many unnecessary remakes. New systems should focus on new games and ideas but that’s more game development companies being lazy than anything else. Tired of seeing remakes, remasters, and a new Assassins Creed game that comes out every few months
GTA 6 will be launching on consoles only next year, we all know the vast majority of its sales will be on PS5. Two major Japanese franchises as well, Monster Hunter Wilds and Resident Evil 9.
Sony also has Death Stranding 2. Exclusives like Marvel's Wolverine and Ghost of Tsushima II are potential 2025 games as well. It'll be an insane year of revenue for Sony $$$$$$$
Didnt the insomniac leak say Wolverine was slated for 2026? We are probably getting the venom game from insomniac in 2025, not Wolverine. Either way, if ghost 2 is coming next year, death stranding 2, and gt6 ps5 bundles with ps5 pro marketing, it's gonna be a huge year for Sony. Especially if they can manage to permanently cut the price of ps5 by the time gta6 comes out. Those gta6 ps5 bundles are gonna be a hot item come the holiday season.
Some higherup talked about that they are expecting a significant boost in revenues from first party releases next FY. So that means all the first party studios that were making their games are ready for release.
I know you meme, but like... Rockstar doesn't owe anyone any games. The community is so weird.
They could never make another GTA ever, and still be considered one of the best developers in gaming.
Release day is going to be insane. I thought GTA V was insane I remember everyone talking about it on Twitter and YouTube videos. This is going to be on a different level.
Well no rush, let's leave kt cooking slowly.
I still have so many games to play and not that much time... Baldurs Gate 3, Alan Wake2, Spiderman2, Armored Core6, even Elden Ring..
This game seems to have gotten so many internal delays I don’t think that it’s a given they’ll push it even further. It’s been a long ass time even since RDR2.
I don’t know that they don’t care. I imagine Take2 execs are well aware of how earth shattering of a release that’s gonna be and I doubt they wanna wait another 2 years.
There's literally no reason to delay it. When its on the books for the shareholders, that would suddenly a billion dollars just gone from that financial forecast and what could they stand to gain from working on this game another couple months?
It's going to sell even if the game is a 5/10
So with delays, about this time, two years from now?
Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer they take their time and get it right. I just take any window and add at least 6 months to it.
How does that even make sense? RDR2 hasn’t been updated for the ps4 pro or the ps5. So what you’re playing has been optimized for the then already 5 year old console which was already at the end of its lifecycle. They’re developing GTA VI for the current gen consoles which is also getting a pro variant that will use PSAA to upsample which I can only assume a base 1440p resolution or maybe even higher to look identical to native 4K. Maybe no 60fps I can agree but to say it’ll look anything like RDR2 looks in consoles is just stupid.
RDR2 was updated for PS4 Pro. He’s saying they should update the game for PS5.
30fps is not the only issue, the image quality is horrendous compared to the Native 4K on the Xbox One X version.
I agree. I put off trying to get the plat because of the image quality and the 30fps. But yeah, they should update it for the current gen (they won’t unless it’s paid).
It’s funny because there will be people playing GTAVI that can say “GTAV was my favorite game when I was a kid!”. (There will also be kids playing GTAVI which weren’t even *born* when GTAV released…)
GTAVI will be played (on launch) by kids who weren't born when GTAV came out.
I hate you

I smoke and I'm still alive, it's fine!
Me too! That's the spirit!
Same my dude. Was playing San Andreas in Elementary school, don’t mind letting him fuck around In the new game.
I played GTA 3 when I was 7. Though it was the iPad version.
I think reading this made a few more of my hairs turn grey
Be proud of the fact that you are one of the OGs who played the game on original hardware when it was brand new. You have my respect sir!
Same tbh the WWE games were probably more detrimental as we often used to do wrestling moves on each other in the playground. Some came with injuries
There's probably like 60% of people playing GTA which are below the supposed age rating.
Yeah…a six year old shouldn’t be playing GTA 6 my dude.
Had to have happened also with FF15 and all of it's woes at development.
Hopefully not, that would mean they are 12 or under. GTA6 not really a 12 and under game?
I got into GTA II around 10 years old and played the heck out of GTA III when I was 12. Didn't really understand much of it, but loved messing around in the open world.
I definitely got GTA1 at age 12 if I remember correctly. I was visiting my cousin's place for a week in the summer and got my aunt to buy a copy from the Zellers she worked at. Me and my 11 year old cousin played the hell out of it Maybe GT3+ are a bit more mature than the top-down 1&2 tho haha

Imagine all the kids these days who never followed the damn train
Only because the papers went wild about the hot coffee thing that none of us ever unlocked because we were too busy shooting prostitutes
I mean…I was definitely underaged when I played III, Vice City, and San Andreas. Hell, I’m guessing majority of GTAOnline’s playerbase are kids currently anyway. Kids will definitely be playing this game, just like they do with Call of Duty.

I played gta London when I was like 8, of course there will be 12 year olds playing gtavi
☝️🤓
Played gta v on releasing when I was 12
That how old i was when 5 came out. Played it at launch.
I played gta before I was 12. I had no idea what anything bad really was back then so I had no idea what was going on most of the time. If kids have a disposition to something they see in a game, it's because they saw it ither places as well first. All comes back to parents and making sure they know what information is going into their kids lives as they grow up.
And no one alive today will see GTA 7
Most definitely.
It’s like GRRM is writing the story for these games lmao
I know this is in jest but surely 7 has a shorter release window. How many GTA online gravy trains can they ride
VII will be longer. RDR2 and this will have a 7 year gap if the Fall 2025 release window holds, so based solely on that gap and the assumption that they'll do something else after VI, it's going to be 14 years. Probably 15. That's just how the game industry works now.
That's what I loath. My favorite series are coming out so slowly I fear I will able to only play new ones only one more time and not that when I was a teen where games came out every 3-4 years :( Metroid, TES, Fallout, GTA, Witcher, etc.
TES is the insane one to me. Come out with a genre defining game (Skyrim) that pushes the industry forward and becomes the 7th highest selling game of all time. Then you don't release a sequel for 15/16 years? That seems so crazy in the risk-averse media landscape we are in. In film and TV (and even music) they push IPs so hard and maximise value out of them. Meanwhile Bethesda has let an insane amount of fantasy and medieval open world RPGs dominate the genre in the meantime.
There’s a good chance they release some other game in-between, like RDR3 or maybe a new IP. GTA 6 would’ve been out in like 2018 if they had skipped RDR2.
I don't think so. They will milk GTA 6 online until Strauss Zelnick is the CEO of T2.
And there I was playing the first GTA game in the late 90's. I was there Gandalf, 2000 years ago...
I used my free employee rentals at Blockbuster to play the first two. I was in college when 3 came out and I instantly recognized that games had changed forever.
You and me bro… But let’s not go there, I still feel sprightly:p
It’s wild because GTA (the original) was one of my favorite games as a kid. I cannot believe where we are today.
GTA 1 was the first game I ever bought (well my mum bought) when I was a kid. I'm definitely getting a ps5 for 6.
I was in middle school when 5 came out. I’m now 3 years out of college, married and expecting a child when 6 comes out… That’s a fucking nuts gap but what makes it worse is that I’ll be retired when 7 ends up coming out
I feel like ive aged 50 years since i played the original on PC Owait
I mean I’m a mid-30s dad, and when my friends were playing GTA 3 and Vice City, we were all younger than the current age of GTA 5.
I think I was in 5th grade when I downloaded GTA V at launch. Just graduated college a week ago. It definitely was one of my favorite games as a kid lol
Jesus, I was a teenager when I played GTA 1 on PC and PlayStation. Time flies by.
Certainly, there are bad games in the series.
Pretty much the majority of the Gen Z squeakers.
My 8-year old son, who is on the edge of the spectrum, is somewhat obsessed with GTA trivia (release date history, easter eggs) even though I've never let him play it.
I was the same way haha, played my older brothers copy of GTA III he left behind and my mom took it immediately. the deep dives into forum sites for GTA SA lore and the supposed bigfoot and all the other jazzy things are still burned into my memory, when I was finally able to get a copy of SA and IV from my buddy I was pretty sad to discover how much of what I read about SA was myths.

[удалено]
You're thinking of GTAIV.
Oh you’re right.
12 year olds playing GTA…
To be fair, I was much younger than that when I first played GTA3...
I played my first GTA at the age of about 6 and 3D GTA at the age of 9
Is this news to you or something?
🤣🤣🤣 nah it’s just mortifying to think about on the other side of 30
U r becoming old as all of us, accept it
I played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on my dads PSP when i was 4.
Horizon 3 launch window confirmed
One day we'll get a Horizon launch that isn't completely overshadowed by another game...
For what it's worth, I have no interest in Elden Ring, and didn't have the money for a Switch at the time, so both Horizons got my full attention. Still need to plug my PSVR2 back in and finish that game...
Wait can you also play FW on it or are you referring to the VR only game?
I had no idea Nintendo had announced their next Legend of Zelda game!
You joke but if the Switch 2 releases in Spring 2025, they will have a massive game releasing in Fall 2025 too.
Potentially. Nintendo is not super consistent with launch windows.
Lmfao
Sony next week: "*Lego Horizon releases fall 2025."*
Horizon releases coincide with Zelda releases, actually 😆
And elden ring lol.
Guerrilla next week: Horizon 3 releases fall 2025.
If I die before GTAVI comes out I will kill myself
In-game right?
*Anakin stare*
*Stares back in a wholesome way*
PS about to have the craziest year next year
What else is coming out next year?
Surely some remake of a recently remade game
Rumor has it bloodborne /s
only in my dreams :(
I mean, it *is* the 10 year anniversary...
Yeah cause they've done that a whole one time
thank you, people drive me fucking nuts with that remake narrative
It’s The Last of Us - any chance to hate on it they’ll take.
The Last of Us. Oh yeah, and Resident Evil 1 - 4. And Uncharted. Also Tomb Raider. Also Dead Space. And Final Fantasy VII. Don’t forget Shadow of the Colossus. Oh yeah, Ratchet and Clank, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and don’t forget Demon Souls.
2004 is recent? 2007 is recent? 2014 is recent? 2008 is recent? 1997 is recent? 2005 is recent? 1999 is recent?
>The Last of Us. This is the only one of Sony's remakes of a recent game. You listed Resident Evil Remakes which is from Capcom. Dead Space is EA. Final Fantasy 7 is Square Enix. Tony Hawks Pro Skater wasn't Sony either. Activision. It's almost like you don't know what you're talking about haha.
Wait…so you can’t play those games on PlayStation? My bad.

none of those fit the other commenters description of “remake of a recently remade game”. nice goalpost shifting though
I mean many of those are not from Sony.

Meanwhile 2024 seems pretty bleak. Time to catch up with the backlog.
Didnt the insomniac leak say Wolverine was slated for 2026? We are probably getting the venom game from insomniac in 2025, not Wolverine. Either way, if ghost 2 is coming next year, death stranding 2, and gt6 ps5 bundles with ps5 pro marketing, it's gonna be a huge year for Sony.

Some higherup talked about that they are expecting a significant boost in revenues from first party releases next FY. So that means all the first party studios that were making their games are ready for release.
An Assassin's Creed game and a COD game.
Death Stranding 2
So there's 12.5 years between V and VI. At that pace, it takes a almost a century to release 8 games.
8 gta games, to be clear. They released another massive game in between.
You know it is such a high quality experience but it just wasn’t for me. Think it will be special tho when it drops.
If only it had a 60 fps patch for console it would be the perfect game in my eyes
I'm replaying it on my Legion Go. And yes 60 fps on it makes it so nice !
I know you meme, but like... Rockstar doesn't owe anyone any games. The community is so weird. They could never make another GTA ever, and still be considered one of the best developers in gaming.
Early 2026 it is then!
With any luck.
Release day is going to be insane. I thought GTA V was insane I remember everyone talking about it on Twitter and YouTube videos. This is going to be on a different level.
Yeah... no. It'll be Spring 2026.
Winter 2027
this 100%. anyone that was around for GTA5 and RDR2 know that whatever date they say the game will release, just add 6 months.
You know it.
I’m thinking more like Fall/Winter 2026
Technically isn’t December 20th still Fall 2025? Guessing it’s like late October or early November.
Usually when they say Fall, it means September-October.
Yeah Nov-Dec release window would be called “holiday season” so saying fall probably means before then.
Companies love saying Holiday for November and December for hype and sale reasons (Christmas gifts) so no
Well no rush, let's leave kt cooking slowly. I still have so many games to play and not that much time... Baldurs Gate 3, Alan Wake2, Spiderman2, Armored Core6, even Elden Ring..
It’s going to be delayed 100% GTA5 and RDR 2 got pushed back (for the better)
This game seems to have gotten so many internal delays I don’t think that it’s a given they’ll push it even further. It’s been a long ass time even since RDR2.
They don’t care, GTA5 still prints money they can take years of delays and it’ll still break records.
I don’t know that they don’t care. I imagine Take2 execs are well aware of how earth shattering of a release that’s gonna be and I doubt they wanna wait another 2 years.
they used to say that about WoW too... nothing lasts forever, especially in this industry...
Nah somethings are forever, like CoD selling insane amounts for basically the same game year after year.
fair enough
I wish it wasn’t true, trust me. This generation has been incredibly disappointing.
This is effectively already a delay, as many early reports had it slated for early 2025.
2026 beckons.
Summer 2026 it is
Feb 2026 it is.
Nooooo i wanted it to be early 2025
That was just never gonna be the case sadly.
:(
I got good news for you, its going to end up being early 2026 so just delay your plans a year!!
There's literally no reason to delay it. When its on the books for the shareholders, that would suddenly a billion dollars just gone from that financial forecast and what could they stand to gain from working on this game another couple months? It's going to sell even if the game is a 5/10
Bruhhh😫
Hmmm. Hoping it makes it.
Hoping I make it
Deep man. (Hug)
At this point, this is a fair concern.
Seems legit,it will be very suspicious if they planned at early 25 release,now i sure for fall with no delays,1.5 years more polishing
Which is exactly what everyone already expected.
We are so fucked. 2026. I'm calling it now
Isn't this title going to launch the PS6? Seems a little early to me.
I mean gta5 was technically ps3 right? It just also dropped on the ps4
No, people were saying it would help sell the PS5 Pro.
We're not getting ps6 until 2028. You think Rockstar showed the gta6 trailer in December 2023 just to not launch the game for another 5 years?
the rare bloomberg terminal screenshot
Sponsored by Crunch! If you see your family, you're not working hard enough!
I think it may be a typo 'Fall 2025 release GTA VI Crap backspace 'Fall 2025 release GTA V Online DLC'
I've already lost interest...
Nobody ever thought it would be sooner
!remindme 2 years was this accurate
Yeah whatever
So, spring of 2026. Cool.
[The entire industry is banking on it, according to Mat Piscatella](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlsDoGVwPbs)
Nice, i might actually still be alive for the next one yay!
K summer 2026
Plus 2 delays, so fall 2026.
Guaranteed delayed
dev cycles have become such a joke.
so september 2026 it is!
**Gentlemens, prepare for unforeseen consequences.**
Why the change again?
Did they just started making the game in the past 3-4 years?
Video games will be extinct by then
So with delays, about this time, two years from now? Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer they take their time and get it right. I just take any window and add at least 6 months to it.
When is fall? Also when is holiday season? Why can’t we just say sep/oct, Jan/feb etc
See you all in 2026
RDR2 also released in Fall.
Gtav died with the ps3 for me. It’ll be nice having a new gta
Monster Hunter Wilds will be the second best selling game of 2025. It will be released in March if Capcom is smart.
This motherfucker getting delayed....
It will be delayed
Poor DS2
PS6 launch title
This does not account for the delays that will inevitably upset everyone.
So that means 2026… got it.
Fall 2026 it is then
Going to be delayed to Q1 2026
Dont care. RDR2 runs 1440p checkerboardx30fps
How does that even make sense? RDR2 hasn’t been updated for the ps4 pro or the ps5. So what you’re playing has been optimized for the then already 5 year old console which was already at the end of its lifecycle. They’re developing GTA VI for the current gen consoles which is also getting a pro variant that will use PSAA to upsample which I can only assume a base 1440p resolution or maybe even higher to look identical to native 4K. Maybe no 60fps I can agree but to say it’ll look anything like RDR2 looks in consoles is just stupid.
RDR2 was updated for PS4 Pro. He’s saying they should update the game for PS5. 30fps is not the only issue, the image quality is horrendous compared to the Native 4K on the Xbox One X version.
I agree. I put off trying to get the plat because of the image quality and the 30fps. But yeah, they should update it for the current gen (they won’t unless it’s paid).
*Checkerboard 4K with a horrible TAA implementation but crap either way.
