had so long to make

3 years. And GTA 6 will have been 11 years in development when it releases next year so no excuses 😏

They had centuries to make pong, so I wouldn't get your hopes up with context-free assumption.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The graphics weren't that good considering how long it took to release

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

and there’s not even a battle royale mode smh

[–] aviation_hydrated@infosec.pub 13 points 3 months ago (3 children)

That must mean there will be close to 4x the stuff in it!

Psh, that's nothing! Todd Howard can give us sixteen times the detail!

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

With volumetric clouds and radiant AI! It just works!

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

2 stealth modes: crouched and prone.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

4 sprint speeds. No cars.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just Grand Theft.

Some of it might even be petty. Like a grown man cheating at musical chairs at his kid's birthday party.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That would unironically be a blast. Make Bully 2 please, but "adult edition."

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Nope, 1/4 the stuff with 8x the detail!

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just because GTA 5 released 11 years ago does not mean that GTA 6 has been in development for 11 years.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

According to Jason Schreier over at Bloomberg, GTA 6 has been in development since 2014.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hm, didn't see that in the article.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

Not in this one. I looked it up to confirm after your comment.

It was actually two years, Vice City came out in 2002.
