Smokey Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 So recently Rockstar has confirmed that the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 has been pushed back to 2026 due to some issues with development. How do you feel about this? Do you think this is a good thing? Do you think this will kill the hype for the game? Honestly, I haven't really enjoyed a GTA game since Vice City on the PS2 and the fact they released GTA 5 across THREE console generations IMO, is just pathetic, so my desire to play GTA 6 at all has been slim to none, so this push back on the release window doesn't bother me. That said, I know a lot of folks are probably upset about this news. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowHammerYou Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Last month Sony says that the PS5 is in the latter part of its life cycle (which seems to indicate a new console in 2026), then a devkit for a new Xbox console is certified in South Korea last week, and now GTA6 has been delayed to 2026 due to development issues... It's looking more and more like there will be a new generation of consoles launching that year. I could be wrong, but that's what I'm getting from it. Isn't Elder Scrolls 6 coming that year as well?

killamch89 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I'm not surprised it was pushed back - I've been saying for ages that based on what I've seen in the trailers, that game isn't anywhere near ready to come out next year and I was correct. 11 hours ago, HowHammerYou said: Last month Sony says that the PS5 is in the latter part of its life cycle (which seems to indicate a new console in 2026), then a devkit for a new Xbox console is certified in South Korea last week, and now GTA6 has been delayed to 2026 due to development issues...

Yeah, Elder Scrolls 6 would be coming out around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 If GTA is lacking immediacy, then it opens the world for competitors……,,frog churp. ribbit. And no other developer churps in the crime driving world. That’s why GTA gets away with it. No competitors chirping and hopping to a lillypad. No competition means a pool of frogs hopping around. Rockstar owns the puddle of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drivr and others have been out of commission for decades so they don't really have any competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Saints Row is amazing entertainment and reaches beyond GTA in its satire, but the developer is now gone which leaves Rockstar on a high horse that doesn't buck.

I also never understood why Saints Row went the route of turning into a supernatural game with Saints Row IV. If I'm being honest, even though I liked some of the abilities, it kind of turned me away from Saints Row as a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are so fucked up, let's mock a somber society. I will always love Saints Row for that, which few saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly said. They network in a way that they make changes that will bring more revenues to them. They worry less about what players want as long as they are making money from it.

Scorpion Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I understand your feelings. Delays can be frustrating, but quality matters. Hopefully, the extra time enhances GTA 6. Patience may pay off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
