To put things in perspective about game development these days, it took 12 (2001-2013) years to get all the 3D GTA games prior. It will take 12 years since then to get just this one. Sure, games take longer but GTAV has made over 7 billion in micro transactions with 2021 being the highpoint. Each game is also now treated as an event. They would be insane to not milk each game for all they're worth.

For those who haven't seen the trailer, here it is:
Okay, here is my take. It's too soon to tell what kind of story this will be, but I can see a "Bonnie & Clyde" scenario being done with the two leads. Also, being that Rockstar satirizes stuff, I am not surprised to see some bits in the trailer that references TikTok, Instagram, etc. I mean GTA V had made jokes about Facebook (LifeInvader) and Twitter (Bleeter), and IV made reference to MySpace (MyRoom). Also, it looks like the map will be bigger, according to some rumors. We are definitely going to see the Everglades, the Florida Keys, etc. It also has more of a southern feel in this one.
Now I know I need to get a new console, even though will come out in 2025, but no one knows which part of 2025 it will be released.

GTA V is also the second best selling game of all time by a considerable margin, I wanna say it's close to double third place EDIT: Alright, that's not entirely accurate. For whatever reason the Nintendo release of Tetris and the EA release are considered 2 separate games. But added together, they're roughly 150 million to GTA V's 190 million. EA's Tetris is 3rd with 100 million. Also, I had no f***ing clue that RDR 2 was the 8th best selling game of all time and moved 57 million copies. That is f***ing insane

Now I know I need to get a new console, even though will come out in 2025, but no one knows which part of 2025 it will be released. I read an article that had Take-Two (the publisher) forecasting a big spike in earnings for the 2024/25 American fiscal year, that fiscal year ends 31st March 2025. Seems to point to an early 2025 release date.

They totally put this in Vice City because they realized they could do a GTA VI transition into the Vice City sign didn't they >_>

Ooh that looks amazing. Very Florida man inspired by the look of and hopefully that combined with the setting makes the tone more like the PS2 games.

It's a shame about the 2025 release date but it is what it is.
It will be worth the wait.

Hopefully the AI for the police works better in this game than in GTA5.

That is f***ing insane I would hope GTA V was the second best selling game of all time. It was released for 3 different generations of consoles (originally released on 360/PS3 and then ports released for PS4/PS5 and XBox One/XBox Series X-S). My guess is this comes out around the time the PS5.5 (Pro) and XBox Series X.5/S.5 come out. LOL

Also releasing this on 5 year old consoles first and PC later is also certainly a choice.

The Bonnie & Clyde theme was rumored and very evident in the trailer, but for some reason (probably the getaway scene in the trailer lol) wonder if there could be a tragic Thelma and Louise element to it at play.

The female lead is wearing an ankle monitor in the official artwork so that's likely how they're going to lock areas in the beginning of the game.

I'm calling it that there's alternate endings where Jason dies. I'm also wondering if he's actually a playable character or just a major NPC like Roman or Lamar.

I'm betting there's four possible endings – neither dies, he dies, she dies, and both die. I also expect the character-switching mechanic from GTAV to continue.

If both die, they'll need a third playable character to do any single player stuff like side missions, and activities post main story missions. It's always been the way with these games.
