Female main character?? What is this woke agenda garbage??? /s

Felt kind of weird to see gta with more realistic movements. Not complaining, the whole thing looks really good

Wow this post was fast lol, only 18 minutes ago

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

I got that thumb on the pulse haha. Jk, the person I was watching pulled it up.

[-] SharkyAttack@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

How does the video have 86,000 views and 2.1m likes? What am I missing?

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Views dont update in real time.

[-] BassaForte@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago
[-] SharkyAttack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

My question is of mathematics, not popularity. Sorry I wasn’t more clear, I am excited for the game too!

[-] BassaForte@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah. Like count updates faster than view count.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

This is the most expensive game ever built.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

More expensive than Star Citizen?

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Everyone here is missing the point that the video has more likes than views, by a few orders of magnitude...

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It's because after a certain point, YouTube stops updating the view counts in real time. Some other stats (such as likes) will still update, though.

[-] SharkyAttack@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Exactly, thank you. I get what the massive appeal to the game is. I’ve played all the GTAs (yes I’m old), but something is fucky if it has that many updoots and not even 100k views (at the time).

[-] R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Views don't update in real time but likes do. Always happens with big videos like this. It's something to do with YouTube reconciling the view counts across multiple servers, which gets very difficult with large numbers. It's a bit easier for them to create a stable like count when each user can only like it once, so they're essentially adding that user to a list and then counting the length of the list.

[-] SharkyAttack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting, thanks for explaining!

[-] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

GTA is the most successful media franchise of all time.

[-] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It is way down the list, not even top 30. Pokémon tops all at 88 billion.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

You're looking at the sequel to the game that is still within Steam's Top 10 active player count, 8.5 years after its release.

People have been speculating on GTA6 for well over 5 years at this point, it's no surprise this announcement is popular.

[-] Skipcast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The video was up early with a premiere scheduled, so people could start liking it before the video was available.

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

YouTube probably updates views on a periodic basis and likes in realtime.

My guess is you'll see views as higher than likes once activity dies down and the latter catches up to the former.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

YouTube view counts can lag a few hours behind when videos get sudden huge views like this

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Money. Money buys everything.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Coming 2025

Fuck me, it's still at least a year and a half off. I'd bet it's either coming September or November 2025 or being delayed until 2026.

Which would make it at least 12 years since GTA 5's original release. That's absolutely nuts.

[-] Kekzkrieger@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

better than releasing a half finished game that is unplayable in the first 6 months and then barely playable for another 6months and only with the dlc 3 months later they bring features they promised on release.

Dont get me wrong i'd love to play RIGHT NOW, but i'd rather wait for a polished experience than to get disappointed.

[-] valkyrie@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

100% it’s a good thing they are taking their time.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

IDK, I said the same thing about Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky, Diablo IV, Starfield, and what feels like every other AAA game that comes out these days.

Delays and long development times no longer mean quality, if they ever did.

[-] rwhitisissle@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That can't be right, GTA 5 just come out in.....fuck.

Predicting a Jeffrey Epstein mission at West Palm Beach

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's almost unbelievable that the graphics are this good.

Rockstar always releases their first trailer a little under 2 years out from the planned release date, so 2025 was no surprise.

Also, they are one of the few developers who release the first trailer where it really looks like the end product, so I know it's legit, and the hair indicates there's FSR, so it really does seem like this is what we might see on release - but that's still kind of mind blowing given the gap between this and what's been out so far.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think FSR should not be in any game at launch. Too many developers use it as a crutch to hide bad performance and optimization.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

As far as I can tell it's in Vice City. Cool!

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Was it the giant VICE text that gave it away?

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

maybe lol. GTA VI(ce)? VCI airport was the first tipoff for me, half a minute before.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I think it was just the general Florida-man vibes that gave it away for me

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Only have to wait till 2025...

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I wish one could play GTA games without the stupid Rockstar account.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely won't be able to run this with my 2060 super lol also won't be paying 150 bucks for it assuming that rumor stays true.

[-] objectionist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

it was never true in the first place, just a ginormous misunderstanding

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well, thank god for that. Now I just need to be able to completely rebuild my pc to be able to run this at the low end.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

bear in mind that R* now distributes GTA V with Razor1911 cracked binaries because of how much better they are performance wise than R*'s own

[-] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

I have liked all the GTA's except 4. I'm sure I'll get this one too. I hope that the single player campaign brings back some of the niceties from San Andreas. I want to have a garage of cars, rare ones that I've found and customized, and I want to be able to wreck them and be able to get them back from garage (without having to buy them again). Same with planes/boats/etc.

I.E when I play through the game I should be able to permanently unlock things, not have to repurchase them with basically micro-transactions, even if the money is easy to get.
