McLuhans law of media tetrad: digital gaming *enhances* availability to play on any screen, it *obsolesces* physical games/consoles, it *retrieves* the method of early computing where users merely interacted with a larger mainframe via terminals, and *reverses* into pay to play coin arcades.

Oh so the games industry is *cooked* cooked.

I wonder if they'll end up releasing it sooner on pc, if it ends up they're losing money because of the availability of consoles.

And it isn't even coming out for the Gameboy Color, what's even the point

This but Vice City, which was an actual comedy.

I genuinely think the formula is kind of tired at this point given that half of AAA games copied the open world mission based formula for a solid 15 years. I’m sure to somebody who only plays GTA that’s fine but I feel like I’ve been playing the rockstar formula forever now.

BITCHES please! it's going to be over 1000 euros. even more in DOLLARS.

this game is gonna drive so many people insane in ways it does not deserve to.

This is one of those "but everyone knows that" moments when I'm forced to reckon with the possibility that everyone else is not, in fact, an Extremely Online Nerd. I hate those moments.

Okie thank you

Imagine telling them this 900$ console will get them only 30fps up most... Boy am I glad im an PC indie games fan lol lmao

Unlimited consoles but no consoles

I'm going sickos over this. Rockstar and Sony exhibit everything wrong with the game industry and the hatred and resentment brewing towards them is a balm to the spirit.

when GTA 7 comes out, everything will be in "the cloud" and you'll be connecting to it from your chromebook or smartphone.

But they will lease you a phone like Ma Bell.

rockstar to lay off 1000+ when GTA6 only sells just okay to the core gamer audience because of this exact fact

rockstar is about to discover that even if you can spend $1500 to play a video game there aren't any actual ways to do so

i'm gonna play it on Netflix 🙏

If the PS6 came out tomorrow at $900 MSRP it would be DOA even if it was better than the PS5 Pro. PS5 Pro pricing is dogshit. It doesn't even always outperform the PS5

It feels like such a lucky ass thing that Resident Evil 4 remake was on PS4 at all, and I frankly have a hard time believing a lot of current releases couldn't just keep on running on the PS4 except that they want to sell PS5s and there's just barely enough rich FPS obsessed people to support that

The gamers will never save us sadly. They haven't stuck to a promised boycott even once in history

Hah. I think the PS5 goes to around three grand in my currency (BRL), or three grand and a half. Probably more with these new prices

I am fully expecting the dad uprising. It's gonna make national news.

Bring 8 bits back.

Might be the one good thing to come of GTA6 being such a load bearing pillar of gaming: It will accelerate public outcry to critical mass and force the industry to start actually having the affordability discussion in the mainstream.

I didn't even think of this. This gon be funny

Half Life Alyx is maybe the first one but this is second!
