CRASH INCOMINGGGGGGGG
>>738801496How much money has Rockstar dumped into this shit?
>>738801496you guys have said this for 10+ years now
>>738801579Trillions. Perhaps even billions...
>>738801579Hopefully it's enough to make them go bankrupt
>>738801579One... MILLION dollars.
>>738801496It's never enough for jews
>>738801496they REALLY want gta 6 to push the price of games even further, they sound very desperate, i think they know the crash is coming and is inevitable and want to cash out on last time before juming ship
>>738801496Be sure to buy plenty of Shark Cards if you want to to see GTA 7!שָׁלוֹם
>>738801714You didn't hear about the CEO of Bank of America begging them to release it at $100?
>>738801496It would have to be a really massive flop for that to be the case. It's going to keep making money for 10+ years, there's no way they won't recoup losses.And even if its a massive flop, it won't kill R* because they only really invested money they already had from GTA5. It's not like they have debt.
>>738801579It's the most expensive game ever made by a good margin, 1.5 billion is the latest figure being thrown around.
Hopefully no one buys it.
>>738801496console plebs have been feeding Rockstar via microtransactions for a decade now - that company is greed incarnate, nothing will be enough
>>738801893>console plebsChildren, it's children that give Rockstar money
>>738801496What a bullshit headline. Rockstar is 100% expecting online mtx sales to pay for it and they're probably right
>>738801835>It's going to keep making money for 10+ years, there's no way they won't recoup losses.Every big live service flop got funded with this exact logic though.I'm not saying it'll flop but you can't just assume it'll make as much money as you need it to make. Consumer spending isn't doing so well in general, a $80-$100 video game locked behind a $600 plastic box is gonna be the first thing to get cut from discretionary spending.
>>738801579
>>738801496>>738801579This is marketing retards.
>>738801960Every other big live service game isn't Grand Theft Auto 6.
>>738802089>"marketing" that it's okay to pay more than $70 for a video gameit's called manufacturing consent retard
>>738802089Retard
>>738802149true, but every other live service game also cost an order of magnitude less money to makenot an exaggeration. Destiny 2 was a massively expensive game with a $500m budget. GTA VI's estimated cost so far is three BILLION dollars. Rockstar North alone has paid 2.1 billion just in employee compensation. The game has to make 6x as much as Destiny 2 just to equal its performance, which afaik was "unprofitable"
>>738802198No retard, I'm not talking about the price; this game is going to sell, and sell huge. The headline of "It could sell more copies than any video game ever and not make enough money" is marketing. Retard.
>>738801496The rockstar fears the steamchart threads.
>>738801496fuck off. shark cards alone make them 500mil per year.
>>738801579It's over 2 billion last I heard
>>738801802our entire society is a jew ponzi scheme
All that needs to happen is for it to make less money than GTAO and investors will jump ship, which will probably happen
>uh oh evergreen game will not recover all development costs day oneJournalists are do dishonest
>>738801496>sell the game to 100 million players for 100$>still 500 million $ in debtlol
>>738801496> GTA 6 COULD BE THE BEST SELLING GAME EVERSaar
>>738802785>make the most anticipated, best selling game of all time and sell it for 100 bucks a pop>it still has to be sold like the business equivalent of a layaway plan where it only gets paid off years laterThat's the point, this shit ain't normal
>>738802353So why are you replying to me? I just wanted to know how much money they'd wasted on it. It's been in development for over a decade and keeps getting pushed back. That's not usually an indicator of a financially responsible development.
>>738803353$1-2 billion. Can't you read?
>GTA V>97 metascore.>11.2 mMillion units sold in first 24H.>1 billion dollars in 3 days.GTA VI simply can't afford to be any less impressive.
>>738803440Reading comprehension isn't your strongsuit, is it?
>>738801496>>738801579Too big to fail, v made a lotA lot of people like the larp slop
What do you think they could even be doing with the game to merit over a billion in spending? It's just going to be more GTA with higher res textures and fully automated new lighting tech, isn't it? Drive cars with fun physics that were solved since San Andreas 20 years ago. Get out for the most barebones on-foot gameplay possible when a mobster in a funny voice tells you to whack a guy. Get to drive more. Anything they add to that is bloat no one even wants.
>>738803353They're not finished spending money on it yet, the proper marketing campaign has yet to begin and they're already in the billions.
It won't flop and will make it's money back, but rockstar as a publisher/developer is done. They will now just be the GTA 6 company
It only has to be a decent game to make all it's money backmillions of normal fags will buy on day 1 and spend money in game
>>738801496Considering how long they've taken to make it I suspect that the cost of making it is retarded but I do think the game will make money. Maybe not at release but once online is out the shark cards will make up the loss.
>>738802089This. It's like when Gwyneth Paltrow said that her candles were infused with her vagina juices(they weren't).
>>738801496Here is the issue.>Talk of tech requirements being so high most people can't play it>Talk of it being console exclusive but requiring a pro version to play>Proudly saying they got rid of offensive humor>Has a single mother>Forced Raytracing mandatory>Expectations that people will universally upgrade hardware for this game when hardware prices are out of control.>$100 price tag rumor>Nickle and Dime DLC and SHARK CARDSoh, don't get me wrong I think it will sell.But lets consider previous games>GTA 3, san andreas, Vice city required a ps2 or a 6th gen equivalent which everyone had.>The portable GTA games eventually ported to PS2 but a PSP was pretty popular>GTA 4 was on all 7th gen consoles and PC>GTA 5 was on all 7th gen and bridged the gap between 8th gen and 7th selling multiple copiesGTA 6 is expecting you to have a PS5pro minimum. Then when it eventually launches on PC a raytracing graphics card on the high end.It knee capped its own sales base
>>738801496it's taking so long because they had to go back and cut out all of the blatant woke shit and now they don't know what to do.
I think they’ll be fine. Not only will gta6 sell like crazy they also have the revenue streams from gta5.
the base game will be $100 minimum
>>738802790there's not even 100 million people playing videogames
>>738806043You're stupid.
This will be the final GTA game they release. We'll just endless DLC or microtransactions for this one
>>738806153yup, it'll be 200
Please god let this happen
>>738801579$3.5B+ is the running total right nowA lot of money just to sell people the same online they were already paying for.
>>738801496They'll break even eventually.
>>738806794>eventuallyas an investor, would you rather put your money into something that starts paying off in six months, or something that starts paying off in ten years?
>>7388015792 billion at most. It'll make that on day one
>>738801579They had to fix the entire code because of jeets.
>>738801496>and not make enough moneyYes but it'll make millions every single month for the next 30 years thanks to the strapped on shitty online mode
>>738801947Same thing
>>738801496GTA VI will be a massive success.However everyone else copying it will crash and burn, because the game industry in general is HORRIBLE at understanding games even on a basic level.
>>738807264>Rocksaar
>>738801496what? gta 5 is like 14 years old and still makes 35m a month from shark cardsby 'not enough' they mean the jews may not see an immediate return on their investment, oh no, the horror
>>738801579They hired jeets to make the whole game and advertise it, so like $10
>>738801496They literally have ALL of the money in the world, and they still want to charge everyone $200 for their copy of GOYTA VI.
I can't believe they're going to charge $300 for this game, why would they do that?
>>738801496>It's another "GTA bad" jeetspam threadHmm... I have a feeling other companies are worried their slop won't sell anymore...
>>738808779>India out of nowhereT jealous low caste mutt
>>738802089How does marketing even work ? Because I keep hearing how every AAA spent hundreds of million on it yet I never heard of it
I don't think about this game at all.
>>7388015792-3 Billion so far, this is before marketing.
>>738805581>Bro trust me GTA 6 will flop so hard you'll need a PS17 hyper pro edition to play it>No source
>>738807463This, people are excited for a new game from a proven dev. Newfags haven't seen this happen before since every game released in the past decade has been pure dogshit, good games might as well be a myth to them
>>738807463We're long past the point where companies think a GTA clone has any chance of success, there's a graveyard of failed ones.
They could give the base game away for free and still make gorillians.
>>738802089>game will die even if people buy ithow is this marketing? do you think people will buy gta 6 for the... pffftt HAHAHA! for the story?!
>>738801496Geez they really are pushing this latina hard. They should have made sure she was the hottest piece of latina ass in the history of vidya at least.
>>738810761People will buy the game to do bullshit and random activities in an open world simulation, much like they have done with every Rockstar game since 2001.
>>738807463Everyone except indie developers, there is a manhunt style game that is being made, it's not a gta clone per se but it is something
>>738801496I would love nothing more in the gaming space than to see GTA6 crash and burn on release. It would be the final nail in the coffin for this era of excessive investment leading to worthless, board-designed games.
>>738801496You voted for this
>>738801496all of this because because of the many rewrites to remove the overt woke shit...I'm still waiting for them to make lucia look like a woman rather than a barely passing tranny
they better close GTAO for 5 because I could see a lot of people just continuing to play that
>>738801496Holy shit the multiplayer is going to 100x worse than GTA 5 isn't it.
>>738802390>>738801579The internal document leak from like 2-3 years ago already confirmed that they sank 2 billion into the game at the time. Shit will probably push 3 by the time it comes out and adds in all the marketing
>>738804924...what?
>>738801496>>738801579Its truly baffling because maybe a fraction of this money actually goes to development and the rest goes to advertising, licensing, and the higher ups hookers and blow fund
It will take a year or so to make their money back then it's gonna be pure profit from the retards that keep playing the online mode.
>>738801496I honestly hope it does underperform/flop and makes investors and the tech companies at large reconsider pajeets standing in this industry and that we see pajeet seethe as well as total AI slop death
Can Rockstar release this game already so the industry as a whole can move on to something else? Fucking tired of this normieslop being talked everywhere.
>>738817269>Licensing Kek. I remember when Rockstar was trying to completely buy the rights to music for 6 by offering bands a one time check of 5000 dollars for them to have music rights in perpetuity. I can't imagine many if anyone actually took that deal
>>738801496GTA 5 Vice City Edition will save the world
>>738819706Whatever they paid Tom Petty's estate must be the going rate
>>7388018561.5 billion for a 3/5 game
>>738801579yfw HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS was spent to tard wrangle thousands of JEETS
>>738810267>good games>GTAIs there anything at all fun about GTA besides the vehicles? Everything you do on foot is incredibly boring, slow and mediocre, and the story hasn't been worth a damn since IV.
You know how theres zero relevant discussion about GTA 6 that can happen before the game is released?no?
>>738820035look it on the bright side, soon thousands of jeets will be out of work
>>738820007The game has been rated by the ESRB which means it's functionally complete and all they're doing is polishing the game and fixing bugs at this point.
>>738802324Hasn't gta online been generating like half a billion dollars in shark card revenue alone every year since it started? Not to mention the actual sales of the game. I just googled it and it looks like gta5 made Rockstar like 10 billion dollars so far. Then you have rdr2 which I know isn't as lucrative for Rockstar as gta5 but it was still one of the best selling games of all time. Even if the budget for gta6 is 3 billion Rockstar aren't in any danger of going bust. People will flock to gta6 when it launches. And if it's shit it will likely still make a profit but maybe gta7 (which is coming out in 2042) will flop.
I think the hype for this game is much higher than the game can possibly deliver. A lot of kids are going to go back to GTA (5) Online once they realize it plays more like Red Dead 2 and they can't carry their arsenal of futuristic weapons with them. Also the shits gonna run at 30 fps or less on PS5/Xbox Series X 100%. Rockstar shouldn't have spent billions of dollars on this. They should have realized they had lightning in a bottle with GTA5 and not tried to up the ante too much. This game should have come out years ago and been much smaller scope than they're going for.
>>738820640>plays more like Red Dead 2 and they can't carry their arsenal of futuristic weapons with themIf it's like RDR2 then your other weapons would be in the trunk of your car and no one goes anywhere without a vehicle.
>>738820135Focus on the part where it will be a 3/5 game which means it might be ok or average but not a 5/5 legend game people will talk about 100 years later like some people have hyped themselves to believe.It has too many things stacking up on it like the long wait time and the need for every main series gta to be bigger than the last one even if a more condensed game might serve some purpose better, but they just can't release a game with more condensed map than V at this point.
>>738801496>western and Japanese AAA market is going to collapse>smart AAA companies will see this as an opportunity to downsize, split teams into small teams, remove woke nonsense, and focus making multiple games returning to their AA roots>other AAA companies will become publishers who outsource their IPs to indies>indies are on the rise in America, the west, and in Japan>Valve and Nintendo will get bigger>instead of learning from their mistakes, Sony and Microsoft will try and fail to chase the South Korean and Chinese markets>PlayStation and Xbox will die in our lifetimes with Switch and Steam Hardware being the new kings of gamingYou love to see it
>>738819706It actually would be an amazing deal. Your music is now in a game that everyone and their mothers will be playing. Think about how much of a boost a song gets on any streaming sites whenever it gets attached to a popular tiktok trend. But instead of a trend that lasts for a week/month your music will get regular exposure to millions of people over the next decade at least.
>>738821045People go plenty of places in GTAO without their personal vehicle and things happen to those vehicles while you're out in the world. Tethering your weapon arsenal to them is going to be a huge pain point for some people as it's intended to be
>>738821242People are forced to mute the music on any video/streaming site, granted if it's just 10 seconds it might be allowed because tiktok and shorts exist.
>>738821352They're going to say "open carry is legal in leonida which means you can carry an AR and RPG at all times", I guarantee it
>>738813829I did? Awesome!
hopefully this crashes the entire industry
>>738801496They're "getting ahead of a story", damage control in full effect, trying to acclimatize gamers that it won't sell as much as needed.Even lying about sales won't be enough. WOKE = BROKE !
>>738801873>Hopefully no one buys it.indeed.
>>738801496Just charge $150-200 bucks for it.
>>738801496How much gta 6 costs is crazy overrated. It only cost 1-2 billion. gta 5, despite the fact it sucked ass and the online was a boring grindfest pulled in billions in shark cards online
>>738801496>>738801579>All that money spent just to drive fast in an empty sandbox and punch brain dead NPCsWhat's the appeal of this franchise again?
>>738821604I meant music streaming sites like Spotify. When people get exposure to a song either from video games, tiktok or TV shows it tends to give a boost to the song in terms of sales/listens.
>>738803658>v made a lotIf by "made a lot" you mean made more money than any other piece of entertainment media ever in history, then yeah. It made a lot.They're expecting GTA6 to make even more and I look forward to it not doing so.
>>738822969GTA was always "woke" from day one.
>>738823528Crimer daycare.
>>738819491GTA 7 is going to be the first Indian AAA
>>738821145>Focus on the part where it will be a 3/5 game which means it might be ok or average but not a 5/5 legend game people will talk about 100 years later like some people have hyped themselves to believe.people talked about gta5 and rdr for a long ass while. in fact gta5 online is still popular today and the base game still sells gangbuster every year.
>>738819491These are the same faggot publishers responsible for releasing GTA Trilogy in a state so bad even Ubisoft knew not to pull it (PoP remake). They'll just double-down again and say it needs to ONLY be Indians + AI after blaming the economy or pirates, maybe at best not investing billions and decades into a single title anymore.
>>738807463people stopped trying to copy GTA a long ago. same thing happened to COD
>>738819491they probably want to do layoffs this looks bloated as fuck that's why they are planting the seeds so that redditors don't seethe at them once they fire 40% of the ""workforce""
>>738801496We still haven't seen gameplay.
>>738801496I don't like GTA anyways, so I shan't be buying
Yet they still won't simultaneously launch on PCFuck 'em
>>738801579The latest figures put it at just over 4.5 billion
>>738821242it takes $5000 to fund just 3 days of professional studio time so actually that would be a horrible deal
>>738801496>>738815048GTA5 made 1 billion in a month, how is this a problem?
>>7388015796 million rupees
After GTAV I'm sure it will fail to deliver but I am still kind of interested just to see the scale of the whole thing. Maybe I'll be able to drive by my house.
>Someone fires up a GTAO alternative day one>You can fly between Leonidas and San Andreas>Someone eventually ports in Liberty City after they remake GTAIVWe're going to get a real GTA MMO one day
>>738825517Scale model of the U.S, down to taking three or four real days to drive from coast to coast, or bust.
I have never purchased a GTA game and I don't intend to change that with 6.
>>738801496It will never make as much money as Monopoly Go! does.
>>738801496That's what happens when you make such a demanding game that no current console or common computer can run it or store it. I would rather replay San Andreas than IV
>>738801496GTA VI not flopping will cause at least one anon to commit suicide.
>>738802324Gta 6 will be a different type of live service game than destiny or other shooters its going to be:Roblox 5.0 with custom gamesDollhouse/rp simulator Racing gameHeist game
>>738824547The last good gta knock off was sleeping dogs and that was a good game. Maybe there will he another cyberpunk game, but it didnt really feel like gta. The driving and npc interactions didnt come anywhere close
i will never in my entire life care how much money someone makes on a game, i'm here to play not be an accountant
>>738801496God I fucking hope the game makes like a billion dollars, still doesn't cover the cost of the game, and the entire company goes under.
>>738801496you are vastly underestimating how earth-shatteringly insane the gta online mtx sales will be. it will print such retarded amounts of money that whatever fucked up shark card + season + battlepass + gta premium++ subscription bullshit they put in will be imitated by devs for a decade.
>>738825319GTA5 primarily makes its money from GTAO, not GTA5 itself, so it needs to be immediately successful for them to feel confident enough to get that investment back. I don't think it's going to struggle to do that though, the bigger issue is if they actually price it at $80 or higher because many devs are pushing for that and that's a disgusting thought.
>Tortanictards still coping that GTA6 will failFucking shark cards probably enough cover their development cost already
>>738827952thisleftypol is going to screech so hard at our white boy summer game
>>738825319I'd say it's not a problem for rockstar but it will probably bankrupt another company in like 3 years that thinks they can sink the same insane amount of money into a game
>>738830234>Fucking shark cards probably enough cover their development cost alreadyanon...it's way more than that
>>738830234They make more money in micro transactions per day than most game companies do in a year, turns out people like playing good games instead of snoyslop kek
>>738801496>We want the MaTuRe MoViE gAmE audience >Spend longer than a gen cycle in development >Try to soft land the notion of $100 for the base gane for years>Probably won't break evenGood.I'm so tired of all the stupid shit corpos think generates hype and that consoomers want.I too hope this deals a major blow to Rockstar Technically this could ruin them, but let's be real, too many normies will bail them outI hope the "failure" of GTA 6 will start to maybe even slightly deter developers from doing just another heckin maturino hyper realistic movie game, and try making games that emphasize fun gameplay over being a game award slut
>>738801579Doesm't matter when they drop GTA Online 2 and make all their money back in a month.
It's obviously going to sell well but I don't see how it sells the numbers they want without the PC audience
>>738801496As long as it isn't too woke it will make back 50900% of the money they spent making it.Otherwise only 40500%.It will be always-online btw, even the single player. Most if not all logic will be on their servers so it can't be pirated.
I do not care for GTA
you know there's something funny to be said about this whole thing. i hear people complain about >why don't we BUILD anything anymore?>look at hoover dam!>look at the golden gate bridge!this is something comparable to those great structures. this is something that has taken thousands of people well over a decade to complete. this IS engineering meets art. it doesn't serve a physical function like my previous two example of the bridge or dam, but it is a seriously impressive FEAT of humanity to accomplish. if you stop looking at it as brainless media to consooooooom and look at it as the incredible achievement of human collaboration that it is, you will truly understand the almost unfathomable success the game already is by simply EXISTING.
>>738801579Trillions...to make gorillions.
>>738801496theyll make it all in the online mode
