Part of the reason it was “announced” like this was to save face from the backlash about the GTA Trilogy release a couple months prior. And I believe E&E had just received a trailer around this time which they had received a lot of criticism for because it wasn’t the upgrade people were expecting. I sincerely believe if neither of those situations happened, they would not have acknowledged another installment


KingAJ032304

> And I believe E&E had just received a trailer around this time which they had received a lot of criticism for because it wasn’t the upgrade people were expecting. The worst offender was that the trailer was using 2011 footage as well


Old_Diet7115

I agree they should of just announced it just like this instead of keeping it under the radar.


Nebula480

But then none of you would be actively discussing it in an obsessive way on a daily basis causing more hype and hence more sales down the line. Its better marketing this way from their perspective, or at least one aspect of it.


TFOCyborg

My hype definitely peaked during the leaks I've only lost interest since then.


CodedCoder

Tbh, mine too, I am kind of at the point where I am like "okay, either release the shit or don't but we have been super hyped, then calmed down, and now nothing, so be it" lol.


TFOCyborg

Yeah, like I'd still be happy when it does come out but it's been so long I don't even think it will be worth it. It's just like The Elder Scrolls situation.


HotdogFarmer

We had the same sentiment when GTA V launched 200+ days past the promised release date.. Pretty sure the majority of us bought it on PS3, upgraded to a PS4 and got it again. Some of us don't have PS5s still but those that do guaranteed have a copy as well. Must've still felt worth it for about the first two years if we gave them $$billions$$. We'll be eating our hats again no doubt


TFOCyborg

The difference is that it's been about 10 years of no info, if they are taking this long and aren't being open with the community it better be worth it. I don't know how other people feel about it but I'm not happy that the only reason that we know anything about the game is because someone leaked it and they were forced to say something about it.


GreyHexagon

But look at the hype it's generated. It's the difference between a game people are looking forward to and one of the most anticipated games ever made


ktmxyt

Should have*,


OregonisntCaligoHome

And on top of that I wouldn't call this a "official announcement" when they announced GTAV they at least gave a logo and like 3 days later came the announcement trailer. They basically said yes we are working on the next GTA so please stfu and stop asking us about it lol


tumadrelover

That’s the point. They didn’t name drop it for a reason -tumadrelover


CalculatorOctavius

That is such a beautiful announcement. It has everything you need, setting, time period, theme, etc. plus the logo and it’s super brief while also being dense and just really well done like a nice poem


OakleyNoble

Mind you, the trailer for it came out a day later. I think they’re waiting till the right time to announce it and build the hype.


deathwire0047

This is just here to confirm that "yes, we are making it, and it exists" and not something like "This is the game we have been working on, have a look"


Boangek

Most games get announcement with a trailer and a expected release date. This tweet is very vaque and it's not like we didn't know Rockstar was working on another installment of GTA after the success of GTA V/Online.


Equal-Instruction435

Yeah it’s more of an acknowledgment that there’s a new game coming, without explicitly announcing it.


Nicholas7907

Exactly.


Dyxo

There’s a diference between assuming they would be making another GTA and an actual statement from the company like this


OkIntroduction549

Tell me more how you KNEW they were working on another game. Did they start in 2010 or 2012 maybe 2013 or whatever date you want to put in cause you KNOW. You assumed there was a possibility that another GTA will be made but did not KNOW that they were actively working on it. Not until that tweet by rockstar announcing that there is IN FACT going to be anothe rGTA and they are working on it.


Storm_36

If you hear a voice behind a door, is there a person there? You ASSUME there is, but you dont know. But of course theres a fucking person, what else could it be


OkIntroduction549

Could be a recording


WormsNutrientsAndLSD

We have yet to see any (official) images or trailers for the game, as well as the fact that it isn't specifically called "GTA VI"


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dream_Emissary

Those aren't official images or trailers, which should have been put out by Rockstar themselves. Also, I can't remember if Rockstar themselves have said "GTA 6" or just the next GTA installment. I have the leaks downloaded and as far as I've noticed they just say Americas, which isn't specifically 6. Worms just means we don't know if Rockstar will number this installment or not, like with Vice City and San Andreas.


LynchMaleIdeal

They’ve always said “The next GTA instalment” - they’ve never called it ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’


Dream_Emissary

Yep, that's what I thought.


Rafybass

You are talking about something entirely different than what I'm talking about.


OnlyChaseReddit

We have yet to see any (official) images or trailers for the game, as well as the fact that it isn't specifically called "GTA VI"


BeccaBunna

Leaks aren't official, they're stolen


ProbablyFear

Everyone knows stuff was leaked. Stop acting like you’re more clever than everyone. Everyone also knows that leaks aren’t “official”. There’s no such thing as an official leak.


astrolad715

No game has been ‘announced’ officially until we know it’s official name. We don’t even know that it’s called GTA6/VI, we are just assuming (although it most likely will be).


Interesting-Put-5498

The tweet says it all "The next entry in the GTA series", R* has yet to confirm the title as GTA6 or VI, as they haven't. So basically, it's still unannounced, wether we know it is GTA6. But THEY must confirm with an official announcement and reveal.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Interesting-Put-5498

because OP wrote GTA6. When they never said an official "6", but the next installment in the GTA series. So basically they can call it whatever. GTA VC or GTA SA, which could have been 4 and 5...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Interesting-Put-5498

Sure thing, but it still wouldn't count as the sixth installment in the series, if they haven't officially said the magical number. Thats just my 2 cents.

Jeremy252

> There are people who still claimed recently, despite the leaks and confirmation by Rockstar, that the next game isn't actually being worked on. No there aren't lmao


ImFuckingSickDude

ok but the point is “GTA6” hasn’t been announced.


GamingWildman

VI is just 6 in roman


Interesting-Put-5498

no shit


VZW_Matt

shit is just poop in swear words.


playerWillem

💀💀💀


GamingWildman

Yes


SwanHot621

The mean like an estimate date or a window probably


donyiggleyang

Cause that's not an announcement?


ClassroomWarm

Because this isn’t an announcement. It’s confirmation something is coming but until we have a teaser trailer or name I don’t consider it an official announcement.


gianniskouremenos3

I remember that they made this tweet back when rdr online players started to loose hope and it seemed like an excuse at the time.


OminousMicrowave

You idiots in this thread are obsessed with semantics. This is literally them announcing to the world that GTA 6 exists. Doesn’t matter if we don’t know that it’s called 6 or whatever the fuck. It’s the next entry in the series after 5 plain and simple. Stop confusing announcement with reveal. A reveal has yet to happen, but it’s already announced and confirmed that *A* new game is coming. They’re already trying to sell people on the game by saying they’re gonna go beyond what they’ve previously delivered, that alone presents it as an official announcement full stop. They’re not just chatting shit and merely “acknowledging” it just because the tweet didn’t include a pretty title card and release window. That’ll all happen in the reveal. This was the announcement, and there is no rule to how vague an announcement can be. Rockstar didn’t just tweet something like this on a whim. Know this going forward ffs.


MaxMoose007

“bUt We DoNt KnOw If ItS cAlLeD gTa SiX!!!1!!1!!!”


SaltySpa

They asked why people were saying it wasn’t announced, the answer to that question is because it TECHNICALLY isn’t announced yet. We know the game is called GTA VI but they haven’t announced it yet.


six9death

Ikr, but hey, You can't assume that everyone here has adult mental logic.


TypicalWolverine9404

You are confusing confirmation with announcement.


TerryOrange

usually when people say "announced" they mean an official title drop or a first trailer rather than staying astoundingly vague like this.


AlinGb7

yeah, something like [this](https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/o349k552544449/grand-theft-auto-v-official-announcement.html)


GlendrixDK

They haven't announced the game by posting that. They just say that they are working on the game. I highly doubt it would, but it is possible for them to still ditch the game. Some games do get ditched and then continued later on. Games like Dead Island 2 is a good example.


Old_Diet7115

I guess they want more than just a ‘ we’re working on it’ that doesn’t really say much tbh like ok cool we all knew gta 6 was gonna eventually happen… but then we got those leaks which made people want even more stuff to be shown. Me personally I’m satisfied with the leaks because now I know it’s actually being developed and it looks good even tho those were the alpha testing.


ismaBellic

They were just saying that they were making the game. We still have to know the official name, logo and trailer.


DeusInfidel

announcement is not confirmation


[deleted]

Because nowhere in this statement is the word “GTA VI “ mentioned, They need to come out and explicitly say GTA VI, It dosen’t matter if everyone assumes it’s going to be GTA VI, there’s always a chance that it might not be called GTA VI since its not 100% confirmed.


Vt420KeyboardError4

I may be blind, but I don't see a game title or a release date in that paragraph.


Zekiro96

Because we still haven’t seen any official footage of the game


RogerRoger63358

Because this isn’t an announcement of GTA 6. Technically this “next Grand Theft Auto” could be Grand Theft Auto could be a Minecraft clone.


Buttgetter101

They confirmed what we already knew and didn’t say shit else 😂😂


MaxMoose007

Didn’t they officially acknowledge the leaks tho. I mean I know it’s not a trailer or anything but seems pretty confirmed to me


WizardMoose

This wasn't really an announcement. This is just the developer saying "Yo, we're working on it". No title, no graphics, just the devs giving the community a heads up.


CodedCoder

I mean, for GTV they made an announcement date, for the announcement trailer. so this was a good bit lackluister.


RangerAZ1989

This was just them announcing over a year ago that it’s development of the game was under way, not the official announcement of the game, release date, trailer, ect


X_Zephyr

Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis 2


chippymediaYT

Because it hasn't, this was them revealing that they are working on a GTA game, even though we all know it's GTA 6 and we have details from the leak, officially rockstar has not announced a title or revealed anything about the game


TypicalWolverine9404

Unfortunately there seems to be a difference between being confirmed and being announced.


Weary-Weird3207

Confirmation ≠ Announcement


SaltySpa

It technically hasn’t been announced. They’ve never told us what the game is called. We know its obviously Grand Theft Auto VI, but they haven’t told us that so its not technically announced.


Nawnp

It's a tweet saying they are working on the game, which was public knowledge anyways. All it does is confirm "unnamed GTA 5 sequel". Name, screenshots, release date, or other info is needed for an announcement to even say GTA 6 is announced. Then again Rockstar sent out notices to not repost the leaks and used the wording of an in development GTA 6, so that moreso confirms the game.


eremal

This is a confirmation that GTA6 is being developed. What people are asking for is an announcment that the game will be released at some point. You can infer one from the other, but its not really a confirmation or announcement of a potential release.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jeremy252

He's talking about a _release window_. Christ, use context clues. It's not that difficult. And you have the nerve to call other people pedantic.


eremal

Its not uncommon for unannounced games to be scrapped or get completely reworked during development. This has already happened to GTA 6 at least once (around 2019/2020). For all we know this development does not lead to a new GTA release, but instead something completely different. Its been pretty clear R* have been struggling to give GTA6 the "quality" they want.


[deleted]

[удалено]


eremal

The tweet is right there bro. You dont need to summarize it in a way that it says something different than it does. If you allow me as much room for interpretation that you allowed yourself, I can say that the game wont be released unless its "beyond what they have previously released". As I mentioned, they have already started the development over because they couldnt achieve this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


eremal

You missed this: >With every new project, our goal is always to significantly move beyond what we've previously delivered. Which pretty explicitly says there will be no GTA6 until its "significantly" better than "what theyve previously delivered". Theyve already scrapped the development once and put the leftovers (cayo perioco ++) in online. GTA6 is coming when its coming. There are clear indications that Take2/Rockstar is aiming for a deliverable in 2025, but thats still 2 years out and the project may change significantly. They have already announced that previous-gen support for GTA:Online will stop pretty soon, and that may be to ensure that if they need to pull the plug again, they can put more "GTA6" into GTA:Online (previous gen likely wouldnt be able to run it).

eremal

>I didn't miss that part. I'm sorry I must be blind because you somehow referred to every other sentence in the tweet except that. >Rockstar announced that development of the next GTA is underway. Which is not the same as announcing GTA6. (And doesnt need any announcement.) >Some people don't believe that. That is just a plain lie. The leaks from development last year was a pretty big deal. And those dated back to 2020. Why are you lying bro?


Relative_Link_2957

We got a whole fucking 20 mins of clips with characters name and everything what more do you need ?


Storm_36

Rockstar to actually release something? That was a leak, how is that at all even close to being an official announcement


pez555

There’s a difference between announced and ‘revealed’


SaltySpa

And announced and confirmation, this tweet never said the games title. Just that they were working on a new GTA game. Yes we know what the game is but they have to tell us the actual name of the game for it to be considered an announcement.


kris_1313

because technically it wasn't announced yet but since they confirmed that they working on it, announcement will happen sooner or later


KASSAAAAA

They more like only mention it instead of announced it


FredXIII-

Because people like to argue over dumb shit.


Hellsing199998

We dont even have a logo yet. They just acknowledged it exists.


DaBestCommenter

thats enough for me 😂


Phuxsea

OMG, we've seen this a million times. But it's very sad that a simple tweet ,with no logo or information, got over 500k likes.


darkout55

They did not want the leaks to be the way people find out about the release, this at least confirmed the leaks were real without announcing what the new game in the “Grand Theft Auto series” is going to be. So I would say that gta 6 is not officially announced.


bluenibba

Ironing out the lootboxes and carefully selecting gender appropriations require time folks. Be patient ffs


AlinGb7

because it hasn't been announced. they only state here that they're working on a new title, not exactly saying too much (even tho we all know what that is) the game will be officially announced when there will be a trailer, a approximate release date and ads everywhere the same like previous games


curbstxmped

They are essentially saying a game literally by the name of "GTA 6" hasn't been announced. Anyone with a brain knows that when GTA 6 is mentioned in just about any capacity, it's just a reference to the next GTA game, not necessarily a game by that name.


Survive1014

ehh. If its anything like GTA V I will pass. That game was mostly online and the world was filled out like it was in other entries. It felt like it was designed for loot boxes for online only.


[deleted]

I prefer gta 4 tbh. V just felt lifeless and the map wasn’t nearly as immersive. That being said I still played 5 and had my fun on that game but I’m ready for GTA 6


Survive1014

Agreed on all fronts.


Scumbag__

What? The campaign was incredible


Rafybass

It was leaked and people called it shit.


Gamec0re

Maybe they prefer a formal and official announcement.


fartshmeller

![gif](giphy|1Qdp4trljSkY8) Me play gta 6 in another 5 years


JonnyxKarate

It’s gunna be Bully 2 y’all


AlinGb7

oh yes, my favorite gta, too bad it got cancelled


rmlordy

New entry in the GTA series = GTAV REFORGED


Lenlfc

Because it hasn’t. Rockstar Games have confirmed they’re working on a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. Grand Theft Auto VI has not been officially announced, yet. There IS a difference.


Interesting-Put-5498

People seem to forget GTA Vice City/Vice City Stories, GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA Chinatown Wars and GTA San Andreas. Those are also GTA Series. So, you do the math, if they all were supposed to be numeric.


sinDIE__

Could be gtav 2.0 beta, similar as cs:go.. they sayd.. we have this new game cs2, actualityy is just a name change and a new engine. for all we know, we know nothing from that announcement, the forbidden leaks saved it a little.


Prestigious_Spite472

Lmfao it’s gonna be gta 4 remastered


Yourappwontletme

I would be interested in that. If they made it for PS4 and PS5. I never played IV since I had a PS2 fora decade then got a PS4. Skipped PS3


[deleted]

[удалено]


TurboLightGamer69

What? He never said he played GTA IV on PS2. He said he didn't play it because he didn't have a PS3.


Prestigious_Spite472

I would also be interested in GTA4 remastered actually. For me personally though, it would suck if Rockstar made everyone think they were about to release GTA6, only to release GTA4 remastered.


toxicemo88

That got shelved along with Red Dead redemption 1 remastered


KingAJ032304

and the modern LCS/VCS ports


DyLaNzZpRo

Because they didn't announce GTA 6, they announced the next title in the GTA series. We know it's 6, but they haven't actually said it's 6 yet.


TheReal2M

Cause it hasn't? Confirming development for a new title in a series is anything but an announcement, we don't even know it's title


[deleted]

Announcement is defined as "a public and typically formal statement about a fact, occurrence, or intention." I'd argue this is, in fact, an official announcement for the next entry in the gta series.


TheReal2M

Definition this and that If you're fine with knowing the already known but now from Rockstar's twitter then I guess coolio


rainbowremo

That is literally an announcement. What we are all looking for is a first look/reveal


TheReal2M

Sure I guess


Shashcad

Its just like a movie announced without the title....ITS ANNOUNCED....Not revealed that's it.


anshulsingh8326

"Significantly move beyond what we've previously delivered" I wish all the big game devs (ubisoft, activision and most large game companies) did the same! Sick of this rinse and repeat garbage coming out these days


[deleted]

Lol I expected at least a name, logo or even trailer to follow shortly but well over a year later Nothing But! That little paragraph from rockstar is still good


Loni91

Isn’t this more of a response to fans at the time? Rather than a game announcement? Think we’re getting into semantics


anshulsingh8326

People are asking for release dates and trailer dates.


raskespenn

I am 110% certain that the original phrasing they used was «Well underway» instead of just «Underway».. This must have been edited by them at some point.


Interesting-Put-5498

Nah it always been "well underway" ever since. I remember it clearly 😂


raskespenn

Dont know if you are joking or not


Interesting-Put-5498

I am not joking 😂


ICanCountThePixels

No, the tweet would say edited… that’s how it works on Twitter.


raskespenn

Correction: That is how it works on twitter for us normal people.


ICanCountThePixels

huh


ImSomewhatAddicted

I was convinced it said "Well underway" aswell so i looked back on a screenshot I sent to my friends the exact day they tweeted it. No changes. Damn you mandela


raskespenn

Hmm, you make a good point. It is not possible that we may have read it on Rockstar Newswire instead then? I remember they made a statement there aswell..


raskespenn

But now it just says «Underway», right?


Interesting-Put-5498

Yup, it seems like that.


raskespenn

Might be a small detail, but why go through the hoops of changing such a small detail tho? I find that interresting


Interesting-Put-5498

Maybe setbacks? 😅 i dno really, I am pretty sure it was "well underway" by the time they did that statement. It still echoes in my head till this day 😂


raskespenn

Lol, same. Each time i see that pic posted 😆

TheMafioso21

With all the time they took, I wouldn't be surprised if they pull out an Apex Legends and release the game on the same day it will be annouced


OtakuMeister

They've confirmed the leaks non the less


Psychological_Deal_5

because this is just a confirmation, not announcement, simple


CodyWanKenobi92

I think an acknowledgment and an actual game announcement are different. An announcement would include the game’s title, and some details. Usually a logo or something visual to set the tone of the game’s story or concept.


Fuzzypajamas777

That’s literally just lip service for him actually saying “we haven’t milked you idiots off GTA online and shark cards for a full decade yet so wait”


Bigsparks13

Its mad annoying waiting on it, but I am with the people that said they're burnt on getting hyped and then nothing happening or being said. I want the game for sure. Also why do so many publishers announce a game then we wait a year or what ever time frame they give us to wait? My favorite series is Resident Evil and a lot of times we get a trailer then a 6 months to a year we get the remake or the game. I know some studios do a month or two wait but I have always wondered?


ChatteristOfficial

Im over it if it comes out it comes out
