If it aint fix, dont broke it. I am kinda hoping this one flops and kills AAA games. Gamers are depraved though, and they will probably just lower their standards.
People really gonna trash on a unique style that dates back to 2Fucking000 and the PAL version of GTA2? We really got nothing to do so we complain about game covers? Come on now.
Haven't played since GTA:SA...but, it continues to be the exact same game every time, but with added cinematic realism elements and graphics, right? A few more vehicle models to drive? A few more weapons to shoot? Different interaction options and new dialogue? Sexier sex stuff. Seems like a good, if stagnant, business model that retains its play appeal pretty well as long as it adds just a little bit more than the last version had.
The Rage 9 game engine is a giant leap forward in many underlying video game systems.
Rage 8, which powers Red Dead Redemption 2 was basically just a prototype test bed for GTA VI.
Obviously we'll have to wait and see what all actually works and got integrated in VI, but consistently the numbered releases of GTA since III have redefined what is possible in gaming and game engines.
Is that the engine which allows you to simulate a space program in IV? Used to be pretty fun to drive into that swing set just to see where you would end up.
Yeah, I dunno. To be perfectly honest I don't really think we need an updated version of this gangster simulator, it's outdated, but that's just my lame ass take :P
Alright crime simulator anyways, I dunno, I know it's just a game and all but the glorification of all of that business just seems like not a super great thing right now considering we have a crime syndicate in charge of our country. It feels like a relic to me but maybe I'm just an optimist.
GTA doesn't really glorify that lifestyle though? At least in 5 it's made clear that none of the protagonists are particularly happy with their lives even though they're career criminals. In fact they even get blackmailed by a government agency into doing more illegal shit just so they don't get disappeared to a black site and never heard from again.
Will it be better than 5 or just have more hardware demands?
I'm just hoping it won't be one of those "you must be connected to the internet even if you're playing solo" deals.
I am going to push someone into those crocodiles
They are the freaking same.

At this point it's branding. I have no problem with it.
Yup, that's definitely a GTA cover.

Florida formalwear there on the left.
this game gonna be like 50 bucks right?
I’d be surprised if it isn’t triple digits.

GTA is GTA? No way!
Please do not abbreviate San Andreas
Why tho
Same energy as my dad, who says he doesn’t like modern FPS games because he played Duke Nukem 3D back in 1996 and ‘they’re all the same’.
Different story, 10x better GPU.
LOL, everybody knows you couldn't stop playing FPS games until you'd played Quake 2.
Duh.
Quake 3 arena would like a word
A little bit more is a giant understatement.

The worlds are more and more impressive, but the core gameplay loop still has not changed much since III.
The game play loop is the same, but the tech between III and IV is radically different, Euphoria is something special.

so long for this game to come out and the cover looks the same as one they did 20 years ago, way to go guys, amazing work truly
At this point, no matter what they do, people are going to complain. A lot. Case in point being your comment.
fair enough I suppose, it is a pretty lose lose situation that way, anyways I guess it lets you know what you are getting
It's also the same general style of cover Rockstar has used for literally every GTA game they've ever made, so...
Why would it change now?
Yeah, I dunno. To be perfectly honest I don't really think we need an updated version of this gangster simulator, it's outdated, but that's just my lame ass take :P
I mean it hasn't really been a gangster simulator since San Andreas. And even then, CJ was never part of a gang during the time you played as him.

Well, except GTA 1, both GTA Londons and GTA2
So, except for half the games.
Either way this is the current style. I thought GTA2 was a neat cover.
It's been the style of cover since GTA3
So for 3, VC, SA, LCS, VCS, 4, Episodes, and 5.
That's about 8-ish games that had this style of cover art. That's more than half.
So literally not all of them then?
5 without, 8 with.
I apologize my “half” statement was imprecise . . .
my point was that they LITERALLY have not always used this style, and that’s all.
I'd also argue that any GTA made before 3 hasn't been relevant in probably 30 years or so.
Also, it's only 4 games before GTA3 and the art style change. Not sure hey you said 5.
Edit: I also forgot about Advance and Chinatown Wars, which both had the same modern cover.
