Rockstar Plans to Announce Much Anticipated ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’::Rockstar Games, a division of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., plans to announce the next highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto game as early as this week, according to people familiar with its plans.
Ooh the plan to announce something!
How very interesting, right!? Right?
Now imagine if they announced things like no more predatory monetisation. Consumer-friendly licensing. No more crunch. No more sexual harrassment and bullying in the workplace. Fair compensation for workers. Humane working hours and PTO?
Ah, well…
Either Dunkey’s video worked, or this will be in a follow up video.
Second most anticipated game of all time (half life 3 still not confirmed).
Edit: for clarity, if Steam announced that they were going to announce Half Life 3 tomorrow, the news it’d generate would completely drown out any and all noise relating to the GTAVI release announcement.
GTA is more popular than HL by orders of magnitude. HL is popular, but HL3 has more meme power than anything. I don’t think many console-only players care too much about Valve titles.
…Or maybe your comment is also part of the meme and went over my head.
Edit: But personally I also look forward to HL3 more… If it ever materialises :(
Honestly, I think I’m giving GTA too much credit to put it next to HL3 like that.
So no, hard disagree there.
This is a whisper. HL3 announcement would be a bang that would grind the internet to a halt.
GTAV is one of the best-selling games of all time. I also prefer HL but there are hard numbers here.
Even my ‘non-big-gamer’ friends talk about GTAVI coming out. It’s FIFA, CoD, and GTA for that crowd.
Edit: Second highest selling game of all time, only behind Minecraft, with RDR2 being no. 8.
The avg gamer/person doesn’t give a fuck about Half Life. That ship has looooong sailed. Without the memes that game series would just be a historical footnote somewhere when discussing Counter Strike.
You’re comparing steak and a big mac here. They have largely separate target buyers and operate at different levels of quality/craftsmanship. Yes, HL3 would grind the gaming news media to a halt while this fluff article about GTA6 is just fluff.
But the steak isn’t selling more copies that the big mac. This is what people are arguing with you over.
Gooners unite
