Yay its a little disheartening that We FINALLY head back to Vice City and Tommy won't be there...

Granted I could see them pulling that the majority of the story is an in Tribute aftermath. IE Lucia and Jason come into town just in time for the Criminal version of a Game of thrones cause Tommy finally kicked the bucket... They should make it something outrageous...

Tommy is suppose to be the Tony Montana that "Won" and from every little tidbit we got from the other Games Tommy basically was the unchallenged King of Vice City every time the place came up.

This is an outrage against Luminara!

I feel like that could be a part of the story, trying to figure out how Tommy Vercetti fell out of prominence.

No one said that Tommy won't be there. But remember, he's a pensioner now.

Maybe they can turn him into an expy of an existing Florida politician or real estate mogul or billionaire. Options galore.

Hey, is Donald Love going to be president in this game?

It seems interesting that they picked 2025 for release, well after the elections. I wonder whether they would change some things based on that.

[up] And besides, there's a chance that the game might get delayed to 2026. Delays happened with GTA IV and GTA V, so GTA VI will probably get delayed too.

From Lowering the Bar:

The man who, to this report, “went viral as the Florida Joker” a few years ago has threatened to sue Rockstar Games, alleging that a weird-looking character in the trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 is based on his likeness. “That’s me,” he said while showing a picture of the character. “GTA, we gotta talk. Or no, you gotta give me like a mill or two…. Y’all took my likeness. Y’all took my life.” Two million might actually be be a reasonable demand for a misappropriation-of-likeness claim involving GTA 6, if it could be proven. Here, I would expect the Florida Joker to recover approximately zero percent of that amount.

Didn't Roger Clark, Arthur Morgan's voice actor, said his lawsuit is useless and it will better if he accept his recent fame to the public for his advantage. Plus, Lindsay Lohan tried to sue once for GTA V and lose.

I'm not sure how "misappropriation of likeness" works, exactly, but from what I gather "this character reminds me of a celebrity" isn't enough to count as a likeness. And there's also the right to parody, of course.

South Park gets away with a lot more on that front than GTA ever does, so I don't think he has a case.

Obviously no hard evidence, but saying it's for "productivity reasons" can of makes it seem like they're trying to enforce some kind of crunch.

I think it's the crunch, yeah. I would have said it sounds reasonable for finishing a product, but knowing the video games industry, this can only be bad news, really.

Kotaku is reporting that while launch is planned for early 2025, there's enough internal delay to suggest they may be thinking of delaying it until 2026.

So what should be the theme song of this game? I was thinking of Paradise City, and when reading the lyrics, it seems perfect for this game.

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty (take me home)
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty (take me home)
Oh, won't you please take me home?
 
Just an urchin living under the street, I'm a
Hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
 
Rags and riches, or so they say, you gotta
Keep pushing for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time
 
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
 
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me, who you're gonna believe?
 
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Yeah
 
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
 
Captain America's been torn apart, now
He's a court jester with a broken heart
He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start"
I must be losin' my mind, "Are you blind?"
"I've seen it all a million times"
 
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
 
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Home
 
I wanna go, I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see, how good it can be
Oh, won't you please take me home?
 
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh, won't you please take me home?)
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?
 
Take me down (oh yeah), spin me 'round
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see, how good it can be
Oh, won't you please take me home?
 
I wanna see, how good it can be
Oh, oh, take me home
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home? (I want you, I want you take me home)
I wanna go, I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Baby, yeah

Take Two still considers this game for a Fall release.

Other publishers still desperately waiting for Take Two to just say a month already, so they know what timeframe to avoid.

If you're waiting for GTA VI to come out this year, I've got some bad news: the game's been delayed to May 2026.

I wasn't surprised that the game was gonna be delayed (we've seen this happen before with GTA IV and V), but it's kind of disappointing that this is the first news we get about GTA VI from Rockstar in a year and a half since the first trailer dropped. Hopefully, they'll show us some screenshots soon, and maybe a second trailer this year.

[up] Oh, I'm sure the real system requirements for the PC version of GTA VI aren't gonna be that steep.

In other news, Take-Two's stock dropped by 16% after the announcement of the game's delay. Not to mention, Rockstar Games hasn't updated the banner for GTA VI (at least, not yet), which still says "Coming 2025", even though that's no longer true.

The big clue those leaked specs are fake is the required storage space. Makes no sense why it would increase, let alone have such an enormous file size to the point it requires an entire 1tb SSD to itself. Not even Activision with Call of Duty has gotten that bad with their absurd 250+gb install sizes (yet)!

The other big ones are the CPU; AMD isn't gonna release next gen x3D that early as the current one isn't even a year old. Barring Intel pulling a Ryzen, and they seriously need to as no cares about their current architecture.

Second is Nvidia will never skip a Gen like that as it means they won't be able price gouge the crap out of their cards even more like the assholes they are.

I expected it to be delayed but not next year. I read somewhere the year long delay is to give the studio a reasonable, proper time to finish the game rather than force crunch time to finish it since Rockstar were criticized for using crunch time for their last two games.
