No date given in the post but the major g*mer outlets claim sources say its not coming out until at least 2024-2025
Don't worry gamers, the crunch has begun, your treats will be delivered.
and they're still re-releasing Skyrim (first released in 2011), with no word of The Elder Scrolls 6
CJ steals a Hydra from an aircraft carrier and uses it to destroy some spy ships while defending against enemy jets.
I sleep.
A female protagonist drives down a road.
Real shit.
Weren't rumors circulating (granted years ago now) that it would have a female protag?
Monkey paw curls "It's a fem protag but it's a cuban-american whos family fled the evil dictator and came to the US, you have to help her smuggle people from cuba"
Anyway, I would like multiple protags again.
They're also going to release GTA V again for the PS5 and the new Xbox :agony-soviet:
I'm hoping they do like max Payne 3 and set it somewhere that's not america
Monkey Paw - they go to London and the game is transphobic as hell with 0 self awareness and satire
Ain't that just the game already? Transphobic (among other things) as hell with 0 self-awareness or satire?

It was never fleshed out, but I really liked the setting of this one. The American metropolitan options are now limited to Seattle/a non-Floridian southern city/a rust belt city. Everything else is either done already or too close to California/New York/Florida. The series is reaching the point of creative exhaustion where it needs to go international or turn its American chud audience feral in a way satirising GTA 3-era neocons didn't do.
Thatcher could be in it, she was an MP in 1961.
Let me shoot Thatcher Rockstar. You like controversy that causes media, do it.
Fun trivia, in 1961 she voted in favour of restoring Birching as a form of corporal punishment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_campaign_(Irish_Republican_Army)
A doomed military campaign that preserved the IRA into the late 1960s. I want to go yachting in an expansion pack with that setting up the fun characters. Plus the Cold War, recent Mau Mau Uprising/West Indies Federation dooming the empire, end to post-war austerity, red scare versus Trots and the Sino-Soviet split left, and the early start of international Anglophilia. The guns and cars are cool, with WW2 surplus still flooding the civilian market. The organised crime has totally different nationality alignments than American gangs. It's a really interesting time for making a big picture of a dying society.
edit:
The most dramatic attack of the whole campaign took place on 1 January: 14 IRA volunteers, including Séan Garland, Alan O Brien and Dáithí Ó Conaill planned an attack on a joint RUC/B Specials barracks in Brookeborough, County Fermanagh, though they attacked the wrong building. During the attack a number of volunteers were injured including Séan Garland. Fergal O'Hanlon and Seán South died of their wounds as they were making their escape. The remainder of the group were pursued back over the border by 400 RUC, B Specials and British soldiers.[27] The funerals of South and O’Hanlon in the Republic produced a strong emotional reaction among the general public there. The two men are still considered martyrs in Irish Republican circles.[28] Up to 50,000 people attended their funerals.
That's like the bank robbery mission in GTA IV. It's made for this series.
having completed it, it's quite literally the most self-indulgent shit i've ever seen. dr. dre is presented as a cool sexy badass 50-year-old man and everyone in the world wants to listen to his new music. literally the final cutscene in the DLC, the reward for all of your hard work, is watching dr. dre and his little buddy rap in the studio
Little something for when you’re annoyed at Dre being a nerd: J-Flex - Who Been There, Who Done That
In which he alleges he wrote a decent chunk of Dre’s most popular shit, just a hilarious old diss track. I haven’t heard it in a minute but probably a cw or two in there, you know how diss tracks can be a little dicey sometimes, but I think this one’s pretty decent about that (I have “homosexuality as an insult” in mind as the classic example)
the world will truly have moved on when you can mention someone being straight as an insult on a track
Is this actually a surprise to anyone? Of course they were making a sequel, eventually GTA V would become too bloated and unpopular. Granted its taken much longer than I thought possible, but even so
Every cycle there is a fresh batch of kids raised on the last game
