It's August and the push back till fall is the least of worries, new console requirement, online payment only, no physical discs, &80 to 100 asking price, a $500 plus cost console that never falls in price, and GTA assures the cost stays next to new. OUCH!! I remember controllers being $30 USD, wondering why so high then? AI suggests there's tech in them worth that much!! BluRay is finally going away, but it proved pretty damn capable. New gameplsy is pretty exciting to see after just trailers of cutscene variety, I do believe they are pretty close to the game play itself. I am adding this to hope people get caught up, this game was delayed a whole year plus! Life gets in the way, but in Georgia they are offering 4 days off to play the game if you sign on for longer service in the Military, you ought to get a free game and console for that BS!!

Netflix adverted the trailer demo of gameplay, IGM and GAMESTOP YouTube channels carry it freely, go check out a nearly 30 minute clip and report back, what say you about hopes and dreams, and if they might be 'dashed'???? [[August 2026, new official update from ROCKSTAR themselves!!]]

I was on CBS News website, this week been busy posting about Donald J Trump, Dolly Parton and Dusty & Frank of ZZ Top, all lost from the mortal coil gone, and the next day; we've lost Tim Curry as well, you can do some research on these important people, forget DJT however. CBS in their online format had adverts that included a news segment somewhere among the affiliates that covered Netflix exclusive preview of a mission or two, maybe 3, not complete mind you, but real GTA VI gameplay, what most people are craving out of the gate, well, the day has come and it was even predicted this month, spot on perhaps whoever guessed it! Now, I hope you don't mind me as posting here again, even though I have been most active, this is News 2026 GTA 6, it's that much closer to reality for us, having seen exclusive 26 minutes of the game offered free viewing from the game networks on YT, that means Netflix NOT required, folks!! GTA gameplay from my perspective has embellishments, we note this gameplay footage comes by way of PS5. I find too much similarity to GTA 5 on PS3 and PS4.... some vehicles and common items look graphically the same, however HUD is in 3D at times, the Weapon-item Wheel changed into a strange graphic pie chart perhaps, how to describe it?? The upper right indicating additional health, weapon status IIRC. The main thing the comments suggest is that Jason's voice actor sounds too much like a bad parody of RDR2's protag Arthur I also think for the age of the character, the voice is too droll and slow, and deep, I think fans just won't be able to get used to that by and large, Rockstar may have cast the wrong voice talent hahaha, Lucia on the other hand is good, and provides comic foil while being serious her humor is deadpan I believe, she's not out and out funny but playing off conversations it seems a bit like perhaps Tommy Lee Jones approach to comedy, there are some joyful SPREE moments The icons appear for tasks and items, door and bag to pick up, or weapons lying around, this might be able to be shut off in menu like GPS for car trips. The game demo shows one character swap, familiar by now, just between Jason and Lucia. We'll add more details for particular break down, this trailer demo premiered a day before I saw it, so it's 24-36 hours before a post to be found on it here, Chris, need to update the front news page!!

My online experience ended with people rigging the money system and driving tanks and jets shooting everyone, it probably is still that way to a lesser extend having watched Ned Luke try objectives and have to dodge the mayhem of other players online in his session. He is so cool about it all, an actor becamse a gamer big time, he does like the story based structure but enjoys a bit of the Saint's Row madness, but I felt people were not willing to do co-op play because of attention span issues primarily

This is not helpful. Lucia is the one that matter, dudes! Trailer 3 was bandied about, as for this month, but not seen or heard Rockstar divulge further. How many characters will the player ultimately control, the thinking is just two this time, but.... I hope they are being secretive about it, for a surprise per se

I am a physical media old school person, I don't do online like I did first getting out into my own apartment and cable except YouTube religiously. My original account changed since the first, violated some Copytight unintentionally, just felt important media is worth sharing, outside of it's limited corporate channels, Companies keep their rights to content locked up in a vault they don't make any admission to, we the people, we want to reflect on things in our lifetime, and the past, that means everything recorded with a microphone, instrument, drawn, or sketched, put on film or video, record, cd, cassette, reel to reel, the media and the message. Sony and Rockstar are again implementing strict control over their media and requiring you buy hardware and possible subscription going forward, If you have strong feelings, meybe let us know and the community the World over might want to at least sign a petition to keep media around as long as we are! There are valid arguments but primarily they come down as good for Corporations, the user side is less storage and media wear and tear, damage, etc, but the upside has sustained the interest and Microsoft- Xbox you are seeing take their message to YouTube viewers, I think this is unprecendented since Xbox One looked to exert the strict control, but they see another way to ween Sony former clientele to their side. I remain a skeptic, but this certainly is becoming more an issue rather than less

Chris, I find it funny had people join on our console online and in Xbox I look back at the memory storage and see the avatars asleep of gamers who crossed path with me and wonder still, do I delete them if I never recall our interaction or hear from them? I know spambotting is and was a major issue, but the Am I Human checkbox gatekeeping I see most often now, if not those visual window match up things, those actually drive people away because they are tricky to get past, I found click a phonebooth, bike, crosswalk, traffic light in thumbnail photos to eliminate them, if they replace without the same need to check them off, you're good to complete the puzzle, but damn, better the check box for are you a Human and some algoritm verification,and because of the Rockstar and Sony changing businesses and GTA 6 requirements, I think there remains a real need for a reader forum and archive to present the time line of what they do and how we react, and also what comes of that two sided discussion. With a forum, you want a digital magazine track record for memory recall and those who Google the info, hopefully our site can be found in general search and of course, always promote! hahaha

People, what the heck, I know Trump demands all our attention but take a break from the windbag and breath some fresh air! I am always around, and had retired my PS3 thin when the disc drive gave up function, original used price of $60USD... Earlier fat aka Phat PS3 originally had several and when needed could not locate, so along came three at different prices, the cheapest was $50-55, so that was my 2026 B-day present to myself! My only 'phat PS3' is an alleyway find of original PS3 60GB, broken but worth saving for a resto, original Emotion Engine and multi-card reader, would be great if it had LInux Redhat unless Sony dropped that in the earliest stage. PS3 and PSP, PS2, and PS Vita as media centric console gaming are seemingly getting a lot of attention shown, oddly. Playstation 2 Vice City Stories is sitting at $80 a copy here, I got mine in the 2-pack with LCS but that is also valuable. My PS4 got a twin with bad BD drive, aka BluRay. The secondary unit works the PSN at the time, been away from that and even had established a HOME network avatar and ventured into that short lived communal oddity, it's worth mentioning a non-Sony group looks to preserve HOME elements as best they can as an archive digitally of what it respresented, we can't forget that HOME was a major push to elevate console online. It devolved to Marketplace boring money making over having a fun experience, that is true of all that's going on, control of IP, that was Xbox One major backlash and capitulation, now it's Sony and Rockstar in heated contest with gamers, and Sony is opting like Rockstar Games to not budge, but fade out optical disc storage into 2030, so..... how are you all? Let's get to discussing gaming here, no bots please! I also have multiple Xboxes and one PS2 slim that works and another that broke, so despite only a few go to games, I wanted the hardware to cover that vast library, but Internet is a must to keep you XB360 clock going, it does work, thankfully, do you have your XBOX360 Wi-Fi dongle? I have to consider buying more than one going forward, or abandon the extra units, with RRoD, you just never know, to have 3-4 Xbox 360s in 2026, crazy!

Hey all, just updating on a Motorola Edge Galaxy S7, what a relic... Grand Theft Auto 6 by all accounts will mark a Seachange in gaming as well , I personally disagree viamently. What is it if ya don't know? Rockstar Games has now followed the mistaken formula of Xbox 1, that is invalidate DVD, BD discs, and CD.... physical media forsaken in part for Region release breaking, which we can all relate rational with, however all digital medium and no physical end user offerings, that will meet stiff opposition, and has from physical media store fronts. This move when posed to AI search like Co-Pilot, warns is my word, future PCs are aiming to follow suit! The game is expected to cost $80. $100 for the enhanced Special Edition. This means technically not a major investment for the user to get the game with a long expected replay life span. The other thing Online added cost, offline issues like the discs absent leave us wondering how their plan will fail. Also, PC owners might not see physical later release either. I am set against this practice however, Search using AI point out a infrastructure already inplace like Steam show this method not likely to change but I think our fan backlash can serve Rockstar notice.... we want media and offline Entertainment

Sorry, but this Season we needed a pick-me-up REALLY bad what with America under Siege and all, ripe for more GTA satire, only Rockstar Games brave enough to serve up! I'm unhappy to announce, Rockstar opted to delay GTA 6 until around September 2026, and I have both PS3, and PS4 but glad I didn't buy PS 5 too early now, as it appears Sony PS6 due in a possible Fall of 2027!! Can you guys live that long??????

We are now eagerly awaiting a second trailer but at times worth a look are supposed in the know YouTube gamer postings, one of which predicted their take on behind the scenes Rockstar Games Studio shuffling of gane development and friction encountered with Take2 Entertainment as their boss essentially, I feel that may be part accurate but we know an exhaustive build of the detailed map can't be an easy task every time GTA myst out perform itself!

I'm in favor of competing solely for best selling game....or anything ... Of all time! I'd been watching a now 3 yr old documentary on YouTube about Xbox origins up to 2020 and it's really fascinating gotta say. Such a history of Sony PlayStation as well, GTA 3D coincides with Lara Croft reinventing gaming in no small way

the last bit Near on forgot to add.... Sam Houser's dad; a jazz-er, Jazzbo... he's the guy who inspired their jazz and classical. What more to come in GTA6 musically is a mystery to me. Sam's mom was an actress who featured in Sir Michael Caine's 70 classic Get Carter If any other music in GTA Episodes from Liberty City or the mainstay game have also passed on, feel free to add to the posting. Sure been deathly quite on new game front, and here, but I ain't going any where!!

We lost David Bowie since GTA4, and just recently we lost Roy Ayers You know him from Fusion by voice alone, Vibraphone player and more, comedian DJ who was a definite inspired choice to hire for GTA4 My guesstimate, I believe Sam Houser's dad... He's seen in the game I believe as the saxophone busker, and wish I knew more but the info of Inside the Rockstar North is that much harder to get these daze, like pulling teeth, like GTA6 news!!!

I kinda luv the game...s, the system Xbox 360 will fail to progress in 2026, but then GTA6 hopefully will transcend the difficulty of keeping our Xbox 360s, but my PC version with the proof of purchase crap lock, I hate it much more. GTA4 should be redux'd for PS5 or PS6 even, new PCs that came out after 2019 I posted about playing this before, again, so so long ago, but RDR, RDR2 came along the last decade and showed all we can get excited for from Rockstar Games, even with all the Online presence and attention, sadly that is a detriment for the studio

GTA4 .... Still playing the game, awaiting more GTA6 breaking, I think Elizabeta may appear if there's a Woman's prison.... assume can be outside of Liberty City the Brady guide I used to have, anything going back to GTA4, 3 or Vice City...pretty sure I had the first 2 guides, got my GTA5 guide hard copy in front of me now. The hours between dating and missions, downtime exploring... not too unlimited unless you bypass or mess up dating, I did with Kate by going drinking and leaving the two to sober up. ...she got upset and left [disappeared!] The pigeons trying to find on your own is just not easy, I also keep the search up for free pick-ups. Power-Ups if you will, term of bygone gaming era Also knowing location aspects help to out-run the law I look forward to learned run and gun approach for GTA6, outside of easier law enforcement AI during the actual missions. Knowing some tricks you can invent helps like heck

Just got algorithm assist in GTA6 breaking stories, one carried by my Win10 Landing Page, Index of MSN topics, by default you've seen Co-Pilot perhaps Influence Windows usage Anyway, GTA 6 still waiting for RockstarGames to come out with any substantial new content in that regard, but GameRant thought to point out GTA5 results and the years in-between timeline showcase characters that could resurface I thought I'd seen the game play-out, I'm revisiting GTA4 all this past year or so in fact, but now I find of three chosable endings in GTA5, one leads to open ended whereabouts for protagonists when we assume there maybe only 2 to play as this time, GTA6 rumored that even less a swappable game format may await in the future, I'd like better AI myself for inviting NPC to join you on missions or attacks, where control and death are not as substantial as sheer numbers! GR by way of MSN; Microsoft Network (MSNBC also related as MS took to WebTV starting out online endeavors) GameRant video found there, is just under 5 minutes and points out GTAOnline evolution that directly relates to Michael, Trevor, Franklin Clinton, and even Trevor sidekick Ron saying he'd gone Vinewood, so went their separate ways I don't play GTAOnline, partly as boycott to how they treat offline player fans, but also it's largely seems to steal the ideas behind former advisory Saint's Row I also you, what the hell happened to the idea of GTA clones, and Saint's Row? It's 2005 I feel a landmark for HD gaming and consoles to now, this year 2025 The echoes of long fought battles are immortal when they make it into a video game reference. One I recall in GTA Vice City in fact, a competitor game franchise True Crime parodied as True Grime What Happened to Trevor, Michael, and Franklin After Grand Theft Auto V? - Bite-Size Lore | Watch

Woah is me, I passed up a $30 Alienware Area 51, the original forbearer of flagship gaming laptops that stood out for it's outrageous take on Alien Out of this World theme design, bucking the trend on what PCs should look like. The two models are essentially desktop replacement full laptop or notebook solutions, Work or Gaming could be done, the systems offered pre 2006 level Intel, for example in a definite beat back of AMD, in the chips war. What I am getting to is Desktop Replacement in general means more able to replicated the duties of a left in place home PC, or left at work PC Alienware offered the pre Core2Duo 006 crowd an AMD64 939 socket, as I understand it, capable of first mobile CPU dual core ever, and first 64 bit computing, but Intel finally stepped up their game overall. So on Intel side from Alienware, you got a last gen 478 socket Pentium 4 with HyperThreading, once Core2 came along, and Core Duo, the HTT aforementioned was locked in the CPUs for whatever reason. Dual HDDs, a graphics card rivaling Dell's own raved XPS M1710 at the time. Even two optical disc-drives, one slot bay option ... two Firewires, three or more noisey fans to cope, and a 4-pin in AC adapter that I believe was at least 150 watts likely. Dell bought Alienware and soon XPS, in the age of Ultrabooks...2013, took on new status, lower on the totem

A girl gamer who never played GTA4, only 6 months ago or so, started sharing her live play through of GTA4 on YouTube, I had already delved back into the game that defined modern GTA to relive, as one does, perhaps with RDR, the original magic of a game long in development and even longer in idea waiting for technology advances to come to fruition It's funny in some respect because there certainly an argument to be made about Misogyny in these games, and even reports on a College Frat party like atmosphere at times within Rockstar Games HQ Obviously big chest females excite Roman Bellic, a prime example. hahaha Anyway, now Women gamers who may have taken more interest because of Red Dead Redemption authentic tales of 1900 era America life, now can see playing a female lead in GTA 6 as being something they hadn't thought about. Guys playing as a female lead likely to be off-putting for some, but I'm hoping we changed characters beyond even the two male - female proposed leads

Addendum; To add, the Playstation 5 Pro is out and available at Walmart for instance, but costs roughly USD $700, the just under $500 standard PS5 and Xbox X choices, still too rich for my blood but I need the new consoles for a long gaming life I hope, still left gas in the tank. The problem is Rockstar's development time equals the life of console generations. I'm looking to get a ODD or DVD BluRay version PS5 used through eBay or Craigslist , Stateside

I'm only gettin' older, to quote an old song, but the funny thing is, GTA4 is my thang at the moment due to RAGE and Rockstar divulging so much of this new generation of gaming, it was followed by GTA4 Episodes DLC, a novel and frankly, too little, too short way to expand the existing map game-play I'd noted online, sharing by the voices behind GTA and RDR for fans at conventions and podcasts, and additionally, server online game-play, I only watched these but they were very enjoyable. I'm goofing around with the Xbox360 for it's final year of a working capacitor based clock, it seems, it will reset all game save potential to 2005 after this year, bummer, big bummer, .... !! .... forced obsolescence

Blacklisted, though invited to the old GTAForums, where I was Slamman, I'll re-introduce going forward... told by someone GTAForum declared Life-time ban, they gave me, withdrawn, but I found there's like minded fans elsewhere even if I thought we shared a common love of game, there's always Debbie-downers in the bunch who love rain parades. Spent my time with old console software and finding new entertainment value in it.... also, revisited both original trailers for GTA 4, it's roll out was not short on teasers or press, unlike this time, and prior to that even Rockstar addressed modding in the press, the idea early on to extend each games life. Ramping up PC capability but still nearer to 6 years behind today's latest tech. If anyone real is playing along, what hardware are you using with which game? Do you feel console CPU over GPU translates to better GTA??

Found out myself, then via ancient forum Googled from 2008, Xbox with it's already horrible designed clock RTC CMOS retention of data, Microsoft opted to design a roll-over clock for these venerable first edition Hi Def Gaming consoles, to end their clock setting at December of 2025, a year from now.... less... the clock flips back to Jan of 2005! Great year to get your first on the market Sony PlayStation Portable BTW, but for any kept user profile XBL account status stuff, likely lost in a time machines UGH!!!

Thanx to Rockstar, for....mucha nuthin... I guess My complaint has to be lodged.... Rockstar Games has went for pure Shark profit all in on Balllzak with GTA5 Online, a game in comparison, seems far too short on campaign [single player missions] then Online version-model morphing into some variant of Saints Row The argument is seen on Rockstar's Facebook comments as well as YouTube response from a disgruntled community. Unlike here, a forum slowly lacking even a few years back, it's waiting for Rockstar to move away from their own take on All Point Bulletin, David Jones own MMPOL The game from Direct Mind Access founder, that studio prior to Rockstar Games-North, David Jones; APB, was to be an open World third person online do anything Sandbox with missions sprinkled or similar formula Now thanks to the rabid, creative fans, we have a variety of Fall-Winter 2023 take-aways analysis of trailer 1, but nothing else to go on, eventually Online models can't be sustained as long as the shelf life of games themselves, or the consoles. A GTA-RDR model favoring both offline-Online when connected, preferred overall, in my case, I favor offline DLC expansion packs to make use of the main game frame-work; the maps Thanks to Ned Luke and Shawn F aka Solo, for making GTA5 interesting again.... offline No thanx to Trevor Philips!! hahaha

Digging out old hardware, testing equipment, I got through early cutscene on the tried and true Xbox 360 version GTA 4 Sadly it froze up, definitely unexpectedly, I did the most ill-advised move- pick up the Xbox unit itself and hold it at different angles to help the laser diode if sticking, however, the disc physically scraped internally, ruining it for good... So avoid that move at all costs, it's best to eject the disc and try again. Now there's another challenge, where to get a replacement disc. George Floyd 2020 riots with police and protestors burned many businesses in Minneapolis, and in my locale, so there's far fewer resources, and the brick and mortar stores aren't around like they used to be, one great option is Goodwill Easterseals Thrift stores, or pawn shops however
