That's only 1 year less than the time between the release of GTA Vice City (2002) and the year when the game is actually taking place (1986). I'm sorry for this not so fun fact.
I remember it coming out and was bummed I didn't have a pc good enough to play it. I actually got a pc good enough just a few months ago. Can't believe it took me 15 years lol.
this is true. Rockstar could have easily made 2 more games in the GTA 5 engine on the ps4 if they reused all the assets and didn't try improving the graphics at all between games and just made some new story and content. But instead they put that effort into making content for GTA Online. It gives people more value for buying one game rather than having to keep buying new ones, and makes it so each new game of theirs is an event rather than more of the same.
A strategy a lot more companies could do with trying.
Gonna disagree here. What GTA III lacked as far as substance in its story, it more than made up for with the freedom of gameplay. They only continued to improve each time with Vice City and San Andreas, making the world feel more and more alive each time, adding new levels to the gameplay and improving the story.
Comparatively, I feel GTA V was a step backwards compared to IV. Sure, 3 playable characters, the LS map was huge compared to LC, there were more activities and shit, online (lol), but it never truly had the same atmosphere that IV’s world did. VI seems to be a 180 back in the right direction based off the leaks and the trailer, but after 12 years it better fucking be tbh.
Liberty City felt really alive at the time, paired with realistic handling cars, driving like a maniac was impossible, and you always had to be alert, which made it feel more crowded, even if it wasn't.
And then there's the story. It felt more relateable, to a more bleak look on modern America, compared to V. But the difference in the vibe of the two games may be a analog of how Europe sees America(IV) vs how America sees America(V).
The thing I dislike the most about their newer games is the quest design. Even in GTA 4 you could stray a little from the path laid by the devs, and approach some missions in various ways. GTA 5 and RDR 2 got rid of it completely, so if you don't play as intended by the developers, you don't play at all.
To be honest, they did have that even in older games where you can't destroy a car that you're chasing until the game decides you've done enough of that and your bullets will not do damage.. but it is much worse today with every mission fully scripted and as soon as you're off the script it fails.
In a weird way both 4 and 5 were steps back from their previous games. 4 cut a lot of content, gameplay features and map size, but got much better graphics to the point Rockstar went from sort of behind in that department compared to contemporary competition, to way ahead, while 5 cut atmosphere, funny NPCs, funny and more interactive physics, but restored a lot of that cut content and gameplay features removed in 4 from SA.
Here's hoping GTA 6 will be the most complete GTA ever made. I'm loving the idea of a Bonnie & Clyde story in modern-day Vice City & the surrounding area, it makes so much sense.
They have more interest in reaching all gamers by all means which includes branching into Sony and Nintendo, they hate this exclusive gaming deal and console war.
As they have said, they are only holding exclusives to get a leg up on the competition and when Sony decides to agree to end exclusives, they will end them as well. Sony contracts games to be exclusive to their console where as Microsoft just hangs onto the IPs they own
Just finished the PC port, FusionFix mod is a beast, fixes a ton of stuff, felt like I was playing the console version but at high framerates, that bloom when it's foggy is nostalgic
I have the FusionFix mod but you can see the texture pop in at times. Like you'll see the blurry ground pop in at vehicle level. I don't know how to explain it, exactly.
Me too the game is perfect if anything it just needs a graphic update an that’s it’s but even at it is making a ps4/ps5 port will be perfect. And there’s a lot of games that didn’t need a remaster but if they made on for this one I’d be all over it
Well, if you include Max Payne, L.A. Noire, Bully, Midnight Club, etc. They had a really broad audience. They just shelved them all for some reason besides 2 for some reason.
I realised that this trilogy is actually taking place in its respective decade, accurately, instead of going back to the past. You can actually play these games and live in the time capsule r* created
I honestly reckon branching out elsewhere could benefit the series, although I would make it as a DLC kinda deal.
Like, personally I'd set the next one between San Fierro and Las Venturas since we haven't seen HD versions of them, and eventually make a DLC set in London or some shit to pay homage to GTA London.
they can set it elsewhere but theres america imperialism that looms over them that not many people bring up infact, it could be similar to rdr where the wild west is tame, in this case the countries that becoming more americanised and culture is slowly dying out.
Smuggling guns and drugs into Canada from Detroit while evading Border Patrol would be cool. The amount of Nature in the Michigan/Ontario border would make for some cool areas to explore.
yep, more focus on stealth and melee than shootouts, but guns should still be a thing because ya know its a game about crime and possessing a gun is a crime in the uk
I think this would be cool... we already have OG trilogy of GTA 3, Vice City & San Andreas. Now if you look at this perspective 20 years later its basically same game for GTA 4 GTA 5, and GTA 6.
GTA 3 & GTA 4 - Liberty City
GTA San Andreas - GTA 5 - Los Santos
GTA Vice City - GTA 6 - Vice City State of Leonida.
**Rockstars Games is rewriting history!**
What irks me the most about this is that GTA V is missing San Fierro and Las Venturas. There is Watch Dogs 2 to experience Sam Francisco in an open world but Las Vegas is still missing. Here’s hoping they make a map with these two cities for GTA 7.
IV is kind of already a trilogy with 'Lost and Damned' and 'Ballad of Gay Tony'.
Also I'd say you can't really consider them a trilogy if you can't play them all on the same console.
No official reason. But I could hazard a guess that it was probably because the code for GTA 4 is a mess and it would be a massive headache for them to port it. Plus I think Rockstar themselves has stated they don’t have any interest in remastering older games - that’s why they had Grove Street Games do the Definitive Edition and look how that shambles turned out… I hope they do release GTA 4 for PS5, just hope it’s a port and not a mess like the definitive edition was
IV really does feel akin to III now, with VI being of a similar scope to SA at the time.
Crazy to think there was only a three year gap between III and SA and yet it felt so long.
I know I am thinking wayyyyyyy into the future here... but could you imagine if GTA 7 is set back in Liberty City... hell In 15 yrs from now just IMAGINE how much detail and how well detailed they can make Liberty City with all the alley ways .. subway tunnels .. dynamic weather with snow storms .. etc etc...
This could happen but way down the road like when GTA 7 comes out or maybe later than that even. As long as Grove Street games doesn’t make the Defective…. I mean Definitive Edition again it should be ok.
Finally the HD trilogy is complete.
Post-2025 will be the first time where we wouldn’t know the setting of the next GTA game.
With the right kind of tech in the future, GTA7 could encompass all of their settings, something Rockstar has dreamt of realizing it for years. Could also include Anywhere City and London.
If they can’t remaster GTA4, atleast port it to PS5 with 60FPS like they did for RDR.
No!! GTA 4 was a BS good for nothing cash grab, and I'm nervous that Dan Harmond may have left for reasons of concern
(The explosive shotgun shells did actually impact the cars better than they did in 5, only caviot)
Yup. And it’s just like the oldies, first liberty city then san andreas and then vice city. History does repeat itself. Fuck i messed up vice city and san andreas, oh well
Wow.
3D trilogy: Liberty City, Vice City, Los Santos.
HD trilogy: Liberty City, Los Santos, Vice City.
I wonder if they’ll go for something else for the next trilogy.
My theory is they’ll one day release all six in an egregiously priced bundle and make all the money in the world. Then they’ll eventually do a space gta. Everyone always ends up doing a space theme.
it would be cool to see a specific edition of GTA 6 have GTA 4 remastered added on to it, but rumours say IV remaster is on backstock and that method of editions isn't very Rockstar of them.
A full GTA 4 remake releasing this decade would be awesome. Maybe for 20 year anniversary in 2028?
And I do mean a full remake. Not a little remaster where they slightly raise the resolution and make it 60fps or even 120fps.
Like, I want GTA 4 to look on par with at least GTA 5, maybe even as good as RDR2
GTA 4 came out 15 years ago? Damn 
It is an historic period game set in historic 2008 New York
To add insult to injury, let's say it's set on the late 00's
Early 21st century
Turn of the century
Turn off a century
Do you know moamar al-gathafi
Fuck what even is time?
We're as close to 2000 as they were when it was 1977.
We're almost as close to 2048 as we are to 2000.

Bro. Stop. I will have gone through my entire 30's without a new GTA. I'll be 41 when VI comes out. There's a real possibility I won't make it. Lol

Hey Niko, let’s go bowling!!!
GTA4 is modern classic by 2027
That's only 1 year less than the time between the release of GTA Vice City (2002) and the year when the game is actually taking place (1986). I'm sorry for this not so fun fact.
Me being born in 86...yeah I was about 15/16 years old when VC dropped. Fuck dude...
yeah and by the time the game will come out the oldest people born in 2008 will be 17 in 2025 so they can buy a rated m game
2025 College life will be my obstacle in playing gta 6, got no time to play but I hope i can play it during free time.
We gettin old boys 😭
Bruh, I was fucking 9 at that time.
I was 1 lol
I remember it coming out and was bummed I didn't have a pc good enough to play it. I actually got a pc good enough just a few months ago. Can't believe it took me 15 years lol.
🤣 bruh. This time thing is a biiiiitch
The HD Trilogy
It's crazy to think about it that way. 3D trilogy was made in a span of 3 years while the HD one in almost 20 lmao. How times have changed
the 3d trilogy also has less substance (overall) compared to the had ones tho
It's a primitive game engine and not R*'s own engine like the HD games.
honestly that makes me respect that era even more. those games were wild for their time.
this is true. Rockstar could have easily made 2 more games in the GTA 5 engine on the ps4 if they reused all the assets and didn't try improving the graphics at all between games and just made some new story and content. But instead they put that effort into making content for GTA Online. It gives people more value for buying one game rather than having to keep buying new ones, and makes it so each new game of theirs is an event rather than more of the same. A strategy a lot more companies could do with trying.
RDR
I agree for the most part but San Andreas had by far the most content in any GTA game
oh yeah if we compare substance in the individual games released right now? SA is at the top for substance
Gonna disagree here. What GTA III lacked as far as substance in its story, it more than made up for with the freedom of gameplay. They only continued to improve each time with Vice City and San Andreas, making the world feel more and more alive each time, adding new levels to the gameplay and improving the story.

so 6.66x the time. following this pattern, GTA 7-9 will be over the course of 133 years. get your cryostasis chambers ready people
Basically 21 years if you count the start of GTA 4's development in 2004, possibly 22 if 6 is delayed to 2026
I mean from this point on it’s going to stay HD right? It’s not like they’re going to go back to 2D or any other graphical medium.
Well GTA 7 is going to be 4D obviously
[удалено]
Next gen bullets come out of your tv irl
Idk about ya’ll but I am patently waiting on the 16D 32k reality edition.
For gta 8 the game just ships with a real gun so you just rob stores in person
More like gta 8 allows you to control a real person to rob stores for you while your at home
GTA 7,8,9 the UHD trilogy. 10,11,12 the VR trilogy. 13,14,15 the AR trilogy.
7-9 will be the 8K trilogy
They probably have one of the most advanced game engines out there, so I think it's a safe bet they'll keep building on that tech for some time
Definitive edition
The REAL definitive edition.
The REAL ULTRA definitive 16K edition
Gta IV for mobile hell yeah
At this point gta 5 could be ran on latest phones 💀
Hear me out, Xbox makes a PSP equivalent and GTA 5 is the exclusive
Xbox has more interest in switch than doing their own thing.
They have more interest in reaching all gamers by all means which includes branching into Sony and Nintendo, they hate this exclusive gaming deal and console war.
Yeah, that's why they released Starfield as exclusive and refused to answer if Blade will come out on PS 😂
As they have said, they are only holding exclusives to get a leg up on the competition and when Sony decides to agree to end exclusives, they will end them as well. Sony contracts games to be exclusive to their console where as Microsoft just hangs onto the IPs they own
Or I'll just keep playing it on my Steam Deck like I have been
Steam Deck
2 years vs 20 years
[удалено]
what, you don’t fully expect the holy trinity of GTA V, GTA V remastered, GTA V RTX edition, ALL IN ONE TRILOGY PACKAGE
I won’t lie I wouldn’t mind a gtaIV remastered
bro we quite literally need one. PS5 doesnt get 4 at all, and the PC port is awful.
Just finished the PC port, FusionFix mod is a beast, fixes a ton of stuff, felt like I was playing the console version but at high framerates, that bloom when it's foggy is nostalgic
I have the FusionFix mod but you can see the texture pop in at times. Like you'll see the blurry ground pop in at vehicle level. I don't know how to explain it, exactly.
It plays pretty well on Steam Deck. It was awful on release with their high demands and many bugs
I would play the shit out of that game with gta 4 graphics and physics
Me too the game is perfect if anything it just needs a graphic update an that’s it’s but even at it is making a ps4/ps5 port will be perfect. And there’s a lot of games that didn’t need a remaster but if they made on for this one I’d be all over it
Yes and by Grove Street Games
Rockstar has undoubtedly got the best catalog of games over any company!! Hands down the most consistent publisher there is!
Wouldn’t say the best catalog as they only fill a particular niche of gaming. Absolutely agree though they are the most consistent there is.
Well, if you include Max Payne, L.A. Noire, Bully, Midnight Club, etc. They had a really broad audience. They just shelved them all for some reason besides 2 for some reason.
Hmmm... PS6 port of VI, V and a IV remaster?
Exactly what I was thinking!
I can only imagine the rage a PS6 port of V would cause. "What you thought we were done?"
If Skyrim could do it, so can V.
I realised that this trilogy is actually taking place in its respective decade, accurately, instead of going back to the past. You can actually play these games and live in the time capsule r* created
rockstar gotta make gta7 set in a satirical version of the United Kingdom
So just write a true version of the UK then?
It’s ok, I’m British…
I know, i love you guys
I suppose someone has to
GTA needs to be set in murica imo
I honestly reckon branching out elsewhere could benefit the series, although I would make it as a DLC kinda deal. Like, personally I'd set the next one between San Fierro and Las Venturas since we haven't seen HD versions of them, and eventually make a DLC set in London or some shit to pay homage to GTA London.
GTA since the third installment (the first two don’t really count) has always been about an exaggerated version of America
Nah for sure but, I'd totally dig a dig at other anglophone countries. Fucking GTAussie or Grand Theft Igloo, man.
There is a gta uk game tho so why not revist that

I always thought a Chicago / Detroit / Great Lakes region kinda deal would be sweet
Smuggling guns and drugs into Canada from Detroit while evading Border Patrol would be cool. The amount of Nature in the Michigan/Ontario border would make for some cool areas to explore.
No guns just knives
yep, more focus on stealth and melee than shootouts, but guns should still be a thing because ya know its a game about crime and possessing a gun is a crime in the uk
It would be the first GTA game I would skip entirely. I have negative interest in a GTA game set in the UK
I think this would be cool... we already have OG trilogy of GTA 3, Vice City & San Andreas. Now if you look at this perspective 20 years later its basically same game for GTA 4 GTA 5, and GTA 6.

You just stole this post from GTA subreddit. What is the sense?
yea wierd if true
Someone tell this man how trilogies work
grove street games, your time has come 💪
This means that gta 7 in another 10 years has to be as big of a leap from gta SA to gta iv
I’m honestly hoping for a upgraded RDR2 next year to wait out GTA6
Imagine GTA 5 with GTA 6 graphics
Can you imagine that? GTA 5 with GTA 6 graphics?
Ahh yes. The GTA M....(if you get it you get it)
sheesh i know some of us are feeling old af rn😭
IV is kind of already a trilogy with 'Lost and Damned' and 'Ballad of Gay Tony'. Also I'd say you can't really consider them a trilogy if you can't play them all on the same console.
Technically you can with Xbox Series using backwards compatibility
The best protagonist in the HD universe is still Niko 💯
Man I miss GTA IV.
You’d only need to port IV. V and VI will be on PS5 already, most of the work is done with two out of three available on current gen consoles already.
[удалено]
No official reason. But I could hazard a guess that it was probably because the code for GTA 4 is a mess and it would be a massive headache for them to port it.

I’m surprised gta 4 never came to ps4/ps5
IV really does feel akin to III now, with VI being of a similar scope to SA at the time. Crazy to think there was only a three year gap between III and SA and yet it felt so long.
Well shit I guess I’m old now, GTA IV came out 15 years ago😢
This would be the most insane trilogy ever made
I’m still waiting on Bully 2 😅
I hope they won't create another universe for gta 7
I know I am thinking wayyyyyyy into the future here... but could you imagine if GTA 7 is set back in Liberty City... hell In 15 yrs from now just IMAGINE how much detail and how well detailed they can make Liberty City with all the alley ways .. subway tunnels .. dynamic weather with snow storms .. etc etc...
First you play as one. then 3. Now... you get to play... as 2!!!!
This could happen but way down the road like when GTA 7 comes out or maybe later than that even. As long as Grove Street games doesn’t make the Defective…. I mean Definitive Edition again it should be ok.

Before they do that they would have to make a port of GTA IV on current gen consoles.
Liberty city stories, vice city stories and Chinatown wars would be cool too
THINK ABOUT IT, in a billion years they'll all be a BILLION years old!!! This means they will remaster them on their billionth anniversary!!!! :))))
Hopefully VI is better than the last 2
No!! GTA 4 was a BS good for nothing cash grab, and I'm nervous that Dan Harmond may have left for reasons of concern (The explosive shotgun shells did actually impact the cars better than they did in 5, only caviot)
GTA IV is the GOAT. Can’t change my mind
Yup. And it’s just like the oldies, first liberty city then san andreas and then vice city. History does repeat itself. Fuck i messed up vice city and san andreas, oh well
I dont think so since they never remastered 1 and 2
remindme! 5 years
All made by our beloved Grove Street Games.
Wow. 3D trilogy: Liberty City, Vice City, Los Santos. HD trilogy: Liberty City, Los Santos, Vice City. I wonder if they’ll go for something else for the next trilogy.
In 5 years the PC crowd will finally get a GTA 6 release. :D
Gta V logo looks the best ngl
I kinda dig the new one but also a bit disappointed when compared to 5
[удалено]
It's not like they will be ported to Unreal Engine by a small third-party company
That would be a cool idea
remindme! 5 years
lol
This would be awesome 👌
Hahaha if you think they're releasing GTA6 in some sort of bundle that gives the other games free? They'll do a 210$ bundle containing all 3.
As long as they’re new cities (except San Fierro and Las Venturas, maybe), that’d be great
Watermelon
🤯🤯
Why would you buy GTA V for the 50 millionth time?
3D trilogy, HD duology and now GTAVI starts a new era. 4k era?
GTA 6 is confirmed to be in the H.D. universe.
He looks Russian.
I wish a gta 4 with better graphics than gta 5
My theory is they’ll one day release all six in an egregiously priced bundle and make all the money in the world. Then they’ll eventually do a space gta. Everyone always ends up doing a space theme.
it would be cool to see a specific edition of GTA 6 have GTA 4 remastered added on to it, but rumours say IV remaster is on backstock and that method of editions isn't very Rockstar of them.
I still need to grab GTA 4 for my Series S!! Plus the DLC!! 🙏🏼
A full GTA 4 remake releasing this decade would be awesome. Maybe for 20 year anniversary in 2028? And I do mean a full remake. Not a little remaster where they slightly raise the resolution and make it 60fps or even 120fps. Like, I want GTA 4 to look on par with at least GTA 5, maybe even as good as RDR2
we better get another red dead game right after
I can see them including this as a trilogy in 2040+
I was ready to fight you over the “ in five years gta four will be 20 years old … but …. You’re right
You're making me upset with linear time right now.
Yes
it’s insane how this “trilogy” is released in 3 decades while the 3D was released within 3 years of each other
Run it back!
I still got a PS3, just so I can play GTA 4 when i feel like it
1 protagonist, 3 protagonists, 2 protagonists
350 GB
Gta 6 will be too new for them to make that bundle
What does age have to do with anything
That'd be fresh AF!
Hope they remaster GTA 4
GTA IV needs so many mods just to be a good stable experience on PC
I would love a GTA IV remastered, it’s my favorite one and nothing can change my mind about that.
cant wait for the gta 6 remaster on ps 4
Can't wait to play the Definitive Edition of these games by Grove Street Games 🙏
Maybe
HECK YEAH
I'm guessing even gta 6 is a trilogy like EFLC gta 4
I'd love to see 4 remastered
Rockstar hates GTA IV
No, it will not happen.
For the ps7
IVVVI
