Building the future, and keeping the past alive - are one and the same thing.

Going to be a very interesting day for sure. The leaked footage I did manage to see looked extremely promising and not all that removed from V but depends on what build it happened to be.

I assume it's going to look like or surpass Red Dead 2 which was a visually stunning game.

My two biggest concerns with it are that it's going to be seriously hampered by a huge focus on the online element from the start at the expense of the solo experience and the fact that Vice City (outside of the 80s aesthetic in the original) is the weakest geographical setting in the series. Oh and three, that they've still not learned how to make compelling single player missions outside of going from A to B following a heavily scripted route you can't deviate from and blasting everything along the way, but that's to be expected now in Rockstar games so I kind of accept it going in and find enjoyment from other aspects of their titles.

I'm interested to see how the humour is supposedly going to be a bit different from 5 though.

It looks beautiful, but will very much be a 'wait and see' for me given Bioware's most recent output.

Looks good, but then there's not enough to go on to see whether the thing I disliked most about GTA 5 (the painfully obvious, crass humour) has gone.

I’d guess it’s still there in the form of the Florida Man meme being milked every which way.

That is very impressive looking, Rockstar do make some very pretty lighting effects. Huge crowds in city areas as well.

I wonder if this will be the first game to hit the $90 - $100 retail price? Which magically translates to 90 - 100 €'s and £'s....

Looks visually impressive but I'll wait to see actual gameplay before making a real judgement on how it looks. I've not really liked a GTA game since Vice City, at least they finally managed to make shooting feel modern in GTA V but I tired of their style of humour and general shtick a while back. As mentioned the heavy reliance on the Florida man meme for the trailer doesn't fill me with confidence that their writing team has grown up.

Doubt it very much.

This whole ‘not coming to PC’ stance Rockstar have can fuck off tbh. Means we won’t see it for years, so it is irrelevant news to me.
