Grand Theft Auto 6 is Rockstar's Elder Scrolls 6

Bethesda and Rockstar find themselves in similar positions with The Elder Scrolls 6 and GTA 6, as there are heightened expectations to meet.

Not really since they said they are actively developing GTA6 whereas ES6 is not going into production till after Starfield is complete

FalcorMononoke730d ago

I think Avowed will hold us over nicely until the release of ES6.

Chevalier730d ago

I don't know if I agree that the expectations will be the same. I would think GTA would have ridiculously high expectations since it sold 160 million copies.

StarkR3ality730d ago

I get the sentiment, I will however say that after acquired by Xbox there's a hopefulness behind Bethesda, I hope Starfield is a return to form!

Rockstar however.. don't get me wrong, the talent they have for world building is second to none. But with their money grabbing practices lately with the GTA trilogy and the GTAV "next gen" edition, I fell they have lost their way a little.

Don't get me wrong I'm sure GTA6 will come out and be incredible, but I also know it'll be riddled with even more egregious microtransactions than GTAV was. I would expect them to creep into the single player side of things also with how greedy they are getting.

eddvdm730d ago

Agree 100%, sadly.

What was the last time we had any "offline" story DLC, GTA4 IIRC? Look at the great world RDR2 has, it would be perfect for 2 or more dlcs, but with their endless cash-grabbing RDO events - not to say uninteresting IMO, even though I've played it a lot - those never going to happen. It's sad.

Not much to hope coming from Take2, though.

isarai730d ago

That is true, they definitely have shown some signs that they may not be the same R*, especially with Dan Houser gone, dude wrote and directed pretty much everything and left after RDR2. So at the very least it'll be interesting to see how they manage without him.

You new age gamers are some whiners. I have been gaming since forever and not once have I paid a single dime for in-game content. FFS just ignore it.

StarkR3ality729d ago

So you don't mind getting ripped off then by developers releasing content specifically designed to get people to spend extra money in a game rather than make a finished product?

You're mate yeah you've convinced me, all this time I thought I was the problem, next time I come up against an RPG that level gates you to purchase XP boosts I will remember what you said just ignore it. Give the developer a free pass and spend hours grinding worthless content :)

GamingSinceForever729d ago

Can you be specific? Give an example of something that was released as an incomplete project that required real money to get the full/better experience?

Also these companies are a business. You can’t run a business giving away free stuff. It costs them money to make the DLC so why expect it for free? They don’t want to break even they want to make a profit.

If I felt that I was getting ripped off I would have quit this hobby a long time ago.

StarkR3ality729d ago

Assassin's Creed, Shadow of war, various other multiplayer shooters that if you paid extra money for better weapons/perks you have an unfair advantage.

You might play games that don't have those things which is fair enough, however ignorance won't prevent them creeping into games that you do care about.

GamingSinceForever729d ago

Or you can just grind through and earn those perks for free right?

Your response did not really answer my question though. You said that they are shipping incomplete games where you are required to spend more money to get the complete experience. Your response is basically saying that people can pay cash for an unfair advantage. I'm not sure how true that really is but if it is true that would suck, however the original comments were about the developers being greedy and cheating players out of money. to that I replied that you don't have to spend a dime.

Not even close. When Rockster releases a new game its polished and ready for release. When Bethesda releases new game, well, the less said the better.

StarkR3ality730d ago

Do you forget the GTA trilogy?

badz149730d ago

He did say a "new" game though. GTA Trilogy was a rerelease made by somebody else, not R* themselves.

StarkR3ality730d ago

Fallout 76 was made by a separate team to the main Bethesda game studios but people still give them stick for it.

I get what you're saying but those games were their legacy, they would have tested them and known what state they were in and chose to release it and fix it after. It's their IP, their responsibility.

KyRo730d ago (Edited 730d ago )

@Stark and what about the abysmal state F3, Skyrim (that has a billion versions and still a mess) F4 are and are still in? People need to stop defending Bethesda whilst criticising other studios for having bad graphics, poor voice acting, terrible animations and mundane gameplay, all these being rife in Bethesda's games but get praised and awarded GOTY.

Bethesda have great studios behind them. Bethesda softworks ain't one of them.

StarkR3ality730d ago

Awful state? The truth is is that just because Bethesda released one bad game and got bought by Xbox (we all know majority of people on here are Sony fanboys) you guys go back and hate on their older games.

Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 3 are regularly on peoples best ever games lists. Guys are full of shit.

GTA online was a total trainwreck, what are you talking about?

King_Noctis730d ago (Edited 730d ago )

You are right, GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition was an awesome, polished, and bug-free game. And like someone said, GTA online didn’t work well at all the first few month after release.

MajorLazer730d ago

The definitive edition wasn't worked on by R* before release.

Hikoran730d ago

Except GTA will come out and sell an incalculable amount. ES will come out and be a buggy mess. Such is the Creation Engine.

HardKnockKid24730d ago

What’s tonight’s lottery numbers?

Shinkus730d ago

I'll take the flak for saying it, but my expectations for gta6 are in the gutter. Gta5 had a great story and then rockstar shit the bed by not releasing any single player dlc and going hard with the online which was a disaster with connection problems for months, and overloaded with mtxs. RDR was one of my favorite games and rdr2 felt so lackluster to me, that I feel like rockstar has lost their edge.

i feel like this happens to every game. cant please everyone

babadivad17d ago

GTA 5 pretty much pleased everyone.

gold_drake16d ago

i know plenty who didnt like it. so, yea.

Sonic188118d ago (Edited 18d ago )

It's disappointing that this game won't be on PC. Would love to play this game in native 4K 60fps-120fps with raytracing

Tacoboto17d ago

It'll be on PC in time for Rockstar and Take Two to want more money.

You're also not getting native 4K120RT with any hardware out there anytime soon.

Sonic188117d ago (Edited 17d ago )

The upcoming RTX 5000 series should be able to do that.

Abear2117d ago

Don’t worry they’ll sell you it again in a few years…and again…and again…

JackBNimble17d ago

What about the ps5 pro? I keep hearing how great it will be.

Sonic188117d ago

GTA6 will still run in dynamic 4K 30fps on the Pro. Mark my words

kythlyn17d ago

BREAKING NEWS: people have differing opinions.

jambola17d ago

you're telling me not every single human ever will love this game?? breaking news indeed

Kombatologist17d ago

I think the main concern is the ramifications GTA+ will have on GTA6 Online. Fans are already divided about it. Not everyone wants to pay a monthly subscription fee (that has already seen a price increase) for a $70+ game on top of already having to pay for PS+/XBL.

Unknown_Gamer579417d ago

I think a decade of hype will do that for even the best games. With that said, chill out, it’s going to be a great time regardless.

The Unrealistic Expectations Players Have From GTA 6 Are Just Begging To Be Disappointed

Hanzala from eXputer: "I don't doubt that GTA 6 will be a great game, but I believe it'll also disappoint players who are keeping downright unrealistic and insane expectations."

Profchaos23d ago

I remember the same articles were all over the internet when GTA IV was pre release and it blew everyone away.

Vi will do the same

Skuletor23d ago

IV was pretty good but I remember being disappointed a lot of the features introduced in San Andreas didn't carry over or at least not as feature rich versions of them. Car customisation, learning different fighting styles, increasing your stats,, like going to the gym to raise your strength, plus the jetpack didn't return for example.

lucasnooker22d ago

I was the same. I was disappointed GTA IV didn’t even have planes in the game. San Andreas was a much better game to me. Loved V though

Abear2123d ago

In R* we trust.

Will it be as good as we all want it to be? No, it’ll be 30fps, lol.

But will it be the game we want it to be on PS6? Probably!

We are basically guaranteed to get the most detailed open world ever created, so there is that.

GamerRN23d ago

I'm just praying the frame rate is unlocked so I can get 40fps with VRR... That will be very playable for me

D0nkeyBoi23d ago

-It'll be woke (based on all the censorship R* did in retconned remakes of older titles)
-Gameplay will have nothing new to it (it looks lime a suped-version of gta online, according to all those leaked videos R* failed to scrub)
-Still can't enter more than 1% of buildings

Just saying, go ahead and call me negative. I'll come back to this comment to say I told ya so in a year or 2.

Huey_My_D_Long23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Lol Woke

GTA5 and GTA4 is woke by some peoples standards..and those games did well. 1 even best around. nothings ever slow them down
GTA SA touched on inner city violence and the role of corruption of the police in said violence. Even had pot smoking hippie go on about how the government listens into our phone calls, before the NSA spying was a thing.
Im not saying shits not woke. I saying yall have poor media comprehension because the old GTAs are woke by yall standards.

Literally like people calling the New Xmen reboot "Woke"

nevin123d ago

"Literally like people calling the New Xmen reboot "Woke"

In what ways the New Xmen is woke?

KyRo23d ago

I don't agree with the woke comment but I think people are expecting this to revolutionise gaming and it won't. It will do what it does best at its absolute best but people are expecting a monumental change/shift for the industry but that won't happen but it doesn't need to and that's fine.

DivineHand12523d ago

All I want is a performance mode.

CrimsonWing6923d ago

Has any R* game watchdogged us with trailers?

KyRo23d ago

They haven't. They made RDR2 look fun in the trailers though, something that it was not.

BillyCrystals23d ago

@kyro
Unless you're just not a fan of westerns, I truly feel sorry for you if you didn't find joy and fun in RDR2.

KyRo22d ago

@Billy, it's widely regarded as a boring game. It's a rich and beautiful open world but the gameplay is chore to play.

Grand Theft Auto 6: Troy Baker Confirms He's Not Involved With the Project

Troy Baker has confirmed that he is not involved in Grand Theft Auto 6, after speculation surfaced linking him to the male protagonist.

bababooiy24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

The main guy does sound exactly like him. Its honestly weird to me how even the games that dont cast him outright somehow still end up with characters that sound just like him. Its like old PS3 days where every protag had a buzz cut.

anast24d ago

They want to save money, so they use a knock off voice.

seanpitt2324d ago

Rockstar likes to use nobody's in their games..
