TheMagicMushroomMan Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) I hope GTA VI makes fun of people I don't like so I can masturbate to the fact that a British video game developer agrees with my political views about Florida. That's the main reason why I play video games. 3 Share this post Link to post

There is also the Yakuza series if I am not mistaken; that one is still going strong and I hear it is surprisingly not shitty towards trans people. And speaking of Dogs, I just got reminded of Watch Dogs, although I have heard mixed things about it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Only similarity is between the two are the protags being criminals 4 Share this post Link to post

Doominator2 Posted December 13, 2023 Yakuza is a narrative beat em up (latter turned based jrpg) with a hub world and a lot of different activities (minigames) to do, other than that Yakuza doesn't have the same level of freedom that GTA has. There's no stealing cars, no killing random pedestrians (even standard bad guys just get knocked out from a shotgun blast), and heavier focus on combos and hand-to-hand combat. 3 Share this post Link to post
Rudolph Posted December 13, 2023 Ah, bummer. You would think that playing as a Yakuza would have been a great premise for a GTA-style game. Oh well... 0 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted December 13, 2023 As a casual spectator fan of the series, my thoughts: - There is very little if any noticeable pop-up, which is amazing considering the level of detail. - Larger and more varied crowds than previous games. - Female protagonist looks like she'll be a lot of fun to play as. - Multiple shots of what appears to be smartphone or body cam footage, suggesting that kind of tech will play a more up front role. - Humans generally look extremely well-rendered, especially hair. - While clearly not path-traced (shadow map artifacts are present in some shots), there appears to be a lot of light bounce and generally photoreal lighting that looks better than almost anything currently available to play. - Given how much the series comments on the current zeitgeist, wouldn't it be great if a GTA-like game existed in-world that was playable? 0 Share this post Link to post

A339 Posted December 14, 2023 I wish Rockstar could've made a Miami Vice based game years ago as a subverted version of GTA playing as the law. There are references to very specific episodes in the show all the way up to GTA V. I think they could've done something special in that universe. Character switching between Crockett and Tubbs, then having them together for several missions. MV and Bladerunner are the two IPs I think they could've made an awesome game with. 0 Share this post Link to post

I think it would even be feasible to have GTA 3 as something you could play on a laptop or PC in the game world. It's a primitive enough game that it's entirely doable. Thing is, do people want this? I think of it as a feature that would need to actually tie into gameplay, as well as the game's societal themes, in order to be more than a pure gimmick. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, that is why I suggest GTA 1&2 over GTA 3 since at the end of the day you still want players to actually play the game it is a part of. :P It is probably why MachineGames put Wolfenstein 3D as a bonus mini-game in the new Wolfenstein games and not Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

I feel like it's more: could the company that removed the original versions from storefronts and slopped out half-arsed remasters monetize such an addition to make it worth their while? 1 Share this post Link to post

Doom 3 has some fairly compressed textures. It would be interested if the HD versions were available somewhere. 0 Share this post Link to post
