Why is the games industry so scared of GTA 6 and Silk Song?

AIIEEEEEE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THAT!!!! YOU NEED TO BE OVER $100 YOU'RE MAKING US LOOK BAD!!!

as if they're comparable at all to begin with. How could you know anything at all about what you're talking about and no be embaressed by this headline

>>720014557
he knows what he's doing. putting 2 popular games in the title is just seo clickbait. being stupid even gets people to advertise on /v/ for you

does AAAAA games have AAAAA prices?

>>720014790
yeah look at star citizen

>>720014038 (OP)
my new theory is that this panic is manufactured by big publishers and studios to justify the next rounds of layoffs. they're gonna keep firing lots of people and with this narrative they have two excuses. small studio: blame silk song. big studio: blame GTA 6.

Silksong and GTA are the Dark Souls of video game releases

>>720014038 (OP)
Retarded anon falls for retarded clickbait.

>>720014879
how much is it to play that game? 70?

>AAAAAAAAAA game
The more As the more reasons not to give a shit.

>AAAAA game
wait, what was the first AAAA game? did we just skip an A?

What dogshit ubislop game was the AAAA game

>>720015239
there was only one and the industry doesn't talk about it because it flopped (ubisoft's skull and bones).

cuz they still don't know what true power really is.

>>720014038 (OP)
>can't deal with the $20 price of silksong
>start to adress AAA games as AAAA or AAAAA to charge more money to consoomers
retarded tactic, still is gonna work tho.

I'm not playing either

I’ve never played a gta game, are they actually worth it?

>>720014038 (OP)
GTA is going to fulfill the promise CP2077 made. Every character and npc will be more believable and relatable, the story will be Hollywood caliber, the 'balance' (for lack of magical powers and weapons) will be tight, the world will be better laid out.
>it saddens me greatly that a game about gang violence is the one to do this, but that's humanity for you.

>>720015531
Vice City and San Andreas were fun

>>720014038 (OP)
the hype is dead, their fault for gassing up gta 5 for 13+ years

>>720015531
Just listen to Vice City's soundtrack and the talk radio/commercials of the other games and you've experienced like 75% of what the games have to offer.

>>720015569
>Every character and npc will be more believable
That's what I want, believable niggers and amerimutts

>>720015531
they were impressive 20 years ago but the novelty is gone now

>>720015148
30, at least that's the cheapest last I checked. This was over 20 years ago.

>many people excited for GTAV2, says smart people
amazing journalism

>>720014038 (OP)
as someone that doesn't care about either, i genuinely have heard of more people clamoring for silksong than gta6
i understand that it's different in normalfaggot land, but i also know it's been a LONG time since gta5 and it may take more than the name of a game to bring them back to buy a console these days
can't count on "gamers" wanting it, rockstar has been has-beens beginning with gta4

>>720015861
I thought it was GTA VI 6

>>720014557
>ChatGPT, write me an article on the price difference between GTA 6 and Silksong
I'll take my paycheck now

>>720015531
They were good before gta 5 (depending if you end up liking gta 4 or not, replace 5 with 4 in my statement)

>>720014038 (OP)
Because they know poor normies will just buy those games and not play anything else that releases.

>>720014038 (OP)
If it's a cent over 70 it's gonna flop

>>720014038 (OP)
As an indie dev, you don't want to release your game within a month-long timeframe of the silksong release date.
As a AAA studio, you don't want to release your game within a monthlong timeframe of the GTA6 release.
They're the same industry bogeymen for two different tiers.

more like YAAAAAWN game

These people are such mollycoddled little faggots it's absolutely unreal

this shit is never coming out because by the time they are done testing we will all either be dead from nuclear hellfire or they will be dead from getting btfo'ed by AI in some new way. all these decade-long projects are all dead. you will never see any of these games because it's not economical to make them anymore, not with humans.

the characters are fun though

>>720015801
that's cheaper than i thought for such a massive budget game

>>720014038 (OP)
Wake me up when we have AAAAAA games.

>>720014038 (OP)
Was there any legit AAAA game yet? There were games that could have scratched the surface but ended up fumbling the bag somehow. And there were some lame ass and boring games that marketers called AAAA despite being downgrades from similar earlier games. I have never seen a game worth calling AAAA in terms of sheer scope, budget spectacle and size. Honestly though we might actually have many AAAA games: Games with overinflated budgets that try waaayyy to hard to be movies and are so massive everything is lukewarm at best with nothing standing out.

They’re scared of both doing well for different reasons. On one hand if GTA6 does well then they’ll have to up the bar substantially to be anywhere close to its level, and if their competing project flops then both the development studio and publisher risk shutting down or taking a major hit. On the other hand, the success of Silksong also terrifies them since it’s also proof that you don’t need to invest hundreds of millions to make a hit game, all the hours of market research and hundreds of employees you have wont guarantee your focus-tested project succeeds anymore.

>>720015297
I think the Perfect Dark reboot was going to be a “AAAA” tier game too, but M$ cancelled that. Who knows if it would be as shit or just “meh”.

>>720017871
What's wrong, chuddie, too poor for AAAAAAA+ games??

What game was the AAAA one?

>>720014038 (OP)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Games when?

I hope "the first AAAAA game" does as well as "the first AAAA game"

it would be funny as fuck if GTA6 bombed

>>720015531
The main novelty of GTA is doing funny things like fucking a hooker and then killing her to get your money back, or running over 20 people in one shot, and then having the cops and army destroying the city trying to kill you.

>>720014038 (OP)
They hate Silksong for the $20.
They want GTA6 so cost $100.

>>720014038 (OP)
Silksong really broke these "journos" huh

I unironically don’t understand the hype around GTA as a franchise.

>>720019482
Niggers wanting to do niggershit. That's all.

Dipshits again prove they fail to understand what the letter system is about. It stems from credit worthiness of an idea, and the likelihood of a return on investment for those who invest their money into the project.

The Ubisoft game that they themselves called a AAAA game, was entirely due to it being an embezzlement scam being pulled over on the Singaporean government. Grand Theft Auto 6 is not a AAAAA game, nor could it even be considered a "AAAA" game. In fact the more money that has been thrown at it the higher the chance it has of being downgraded from "AAA" (A sure thing to return on investment) to "AA" (a high chance to give a great return, but there are better options)

Concord is a good example of why just throwing money at a project is not a recipe for success.

>>720014038 (OP)
>avaliable only on ps5 Xbox one and switch 2
Where is pc?

>>720014038 (OP)
I just want to see GTA6 fail miserably. I don't care about the franchise, it's not for political reasons. I just straight up want to watch the industry burn for a little bit. Imagine all that time and money they've sunk into it, all the controversy, all the expectations. And then the game sells like a Concord. People might literally throw themselves off buildings. It would be chaos and the resulting fire would be beautiful to watch burn.

I know the chances of it being a Concord are low, obviously. But if it sells like a mid tier game, it still wont be enough to recoup the money they spent making it and it still might kill Rockstar. That would be fine, too. I just want to watch things that are "too big to fail" collapse to the ground and burst into flames.

It stopped being just that in GTA 3. Now it was a story game with some satire.

>>720020127
It mostly just means the size of the budget and marketing, and whether or not it's a first-party release. AAA being on the big-budget side
Nowadays investors and penny-nabbers just use the term to one-up each other and boast about how much money they're burning away

I played GTA3 and was having fun. Perfect setting, incredible graphics for its time, etc and so on.
Then I had the stupid idea of buying a g*ming magazine full of easy cheat codes for that gayme.
Infinite money, all the vehicles etc.
Experience ruined. Could never finish the fucking g*me that I was enjoying so much.

Black women belong to white man.
Black men belong in jail.

>>720020372
It's literally what it is.
Games need to source funding to get made. An "AAA" game is one that has money thrown at it because it's essentially a guaranteed success and will provide a substantial return on investment.

>>720014038 (OP)
are we ready to have a conversation about how GTA is just Roblox for Dad's but with less stuff to do? i'm not interested in GTA 6 until i see some levelling, some skills trees, and some gear progression. i'm not gonna pay $120 to drive around another fake city with the same static character and 12 un-upgradeable weapons. i can do that in Cyberpunk and have 10x as much shit to do because my character isn't static and there's gear progression.

>>720014038 (OP)

>>720020839
I have heard you fuckwit.
What people call or think are "AAA" titles is independent of what actually happens. It's a risk assessment rating. That means it's still has a chance to fail

Pretty much, because they aren't actually AAA. Just people claiming they are to secure more funds and there's so much dumb money floating around (or was) that they get investors.

While you're right to treat journos like this, calling GTA 6 an AA game just exposes you as a dipshit yourself, anon. Two words - licensing fees.

>>720021208
>no true AAA game

>>720014038 (OP)
Why do journos write these shitty articles? to shill two games simultaneously? GTA 6 already looks unimpressive from the trailers and promotional shots by the way. It was held back my consoles, which is what it's first releasing on.

Developers aren't really pushing games to their full potential because of setbacks on consoles to begin with. It already looks more unimpressive than i thought than a new GTA generation leap should be. Wait for a consolefag to call me out on that statement of being a 'fake gamer' caring about graphics over gameplay, whilst they always prop Rockstar up on a pedestal for the same thing. Despite having the biggest budget in the industry it already looks dated. And that budget goes into GTA online too so don't forget that's not a fully optimized dev development, it's got bloat attached to it.

>>720014038 (OP)
It’s amazing how normalfags fall for this bullshit. I don’t expect much from GTAVI, it’s just going to be another GTA game. For all we know they probably tried doing what they did with Red Dead and made it cinemashit.

>>720020119
Because they need to hype it up and need a corporate buzz term that hasn’t been tainted by ubishit so they went beyond it.

>>720021897
Journos are the slimiest fucks in whatever industry they’re in. They are either bottom feeders pushing out outrage bait for clicks or whores that push whatever some corporation asks them to.
>caring about graphics over gameplay, whilst they always prop Rockstar up on a pedestal for the same thing. Despite having the biggest budget in the industry it already looks dated
I remember there was a thread where some retard was going nuts over the fact that a drink had bubbles in it and went apeshit when i pointed out how utterly useless it was. He was probably a shill now that i think about it. But the point of it being that graphics get the priority over all the other shit and all thats left are scraps. Online will be the cash cow that they will release in an absolute shit state and then build it up over the course of years and the piggies will give them all the money they can, meanwhile the single player will be shitty and hollow and focus on the same kind of narrative shit that RDR2 did. Which ended up being painfully mediocre best but is loved by midwits that had it as their first game that wasn’t tendy, CoD, or mobile shit.

>>720015909
Nah, GTA6 will definitely hit like a dinosaur-slaying meteor, if nothing out of the ordinary happens.
With all the censorship bullshit going on though, shit could be anything but ordinary a year from now. GTA has always been on those freak bitches' radar after all. It's not out of disbelief that they could actually get it removed/banned from physical retail stores at least. These types were very effective at bullying big box stores into banning games in the tipper gore era, and corpos have only gotten more cowardly since then.

>>720015531
Would've had more appeal back in its time where open world was barely even a thing, featuring decently-sized maps with mostly empty prefab buildings as driving and shooting make up much of these games. Nonetheless there's still a fair amount of mission variety and all follow the same idea as criminal sandboxes and storylines where you go starting your way from the bottom and getting to the top, due to the protagonist's circumstances - just in different flavors and also with licensed music of the era to make it a bit more convincing. As far as the 3D games go, if you've played one then you've played them all, just pick a GTA game with a theme you like the most and quit while you're ahead.

>>720019823
19-yo zoomer here, just get good?

>>720015909
The question on every normie's lips is "how was this worth the 'AAAAA' budget?"

>>720022572

>>720014038 (OP)
... wat?

>>720022681
Most people aren't going to be getting it for the offline game.

>>720015569
What are you basing this on considering Rockstar haven't made a good game since San Andreas which was 20 years ago

>>720021053
Games back then also came on physical media with manual and whatnot, had to be shipped around the world etc.
Everything is now digital download.

>>720014038 (OP)
so why does the industry call gamers bad when journos and publishers will literally shit on eachother and run eachother out of business?

>>720022764
Anon, what exactly do you think just happened to steam and itch back in july?

>>720014038 (OP)
Do you think GTA6 releasing for 60 bucks would actually break "journos" and "industry vets" more than Silksong releasing for 20?

>>720021053
yeah and a 3 inch brass gear from ancient rome would cost $7,000 if you adjusted for inflation and the cost of silver. shut up

>>720022907
Honestly, they could release it for $30-40USD and still make bank. People are gonna be spending like mad donkeys on the online again.
I wish they'd do that just to take a big elephant-sized shit in the market.

>>720022907
gta6 releasing for that much is inevitable, though more likely it will be 69.99
take2 makes all their money from shark cards and gta+ subscriptions overcharging for the base game serves no purpose.

>>720014038 (OP)
Not gonna happen but it would be so funny if gta 6 comes out and it ends up only selling ok

>>720023271
If it genuinely did sell less than expected that would be a frightening sign of the world being totally fucked. The economy is in the toilet, but that would really mean we're totally flushed.

>>720014038 (OP)
if they throw another 100 million and 3 or 4 more years of dev time, GTA 6 could be a AAAAAA game.

>>720021053
The market is much bigger now and distribution is much cheaper now, so the price per game is much cheaper, despite the much higher cost of development, marketing, etc.

>>720015297

The more expensive a project becomes the more it has to make back in order to successfully fulfil the financial obligation. That's what the actual rating means.

>>720023650
>GTA costs 2 birron dorra

>>720014038 (OP)
God I want GTA 6 to flop so bad, if not financially (impossible, they'd have to be the most incompetent people on the face of the planet for GTA 6 to ever sell poorly) then at least critically, and I am fairly confident the latter will materialize.
GTA 5 was already stale all the way back in 2013, 6 doesn't look like it'll do anything to freshen up the open world sandbox formula if not by adding tedious shit like they did in RDR2 under the guise of "immersion".
Add woke shit like a girlboss protag in a historically boys' franchise and chances are pretty good user reviews won't shine.
I shit and I piss on Rock$hekel, they've been dead to me ever since 2014

Here's a little hint. That's a paid article. Basically an advert.

>>720021867
In this day and age, where companies are this out of touch with the consumer and the current state of the economy; absolutely. It really is a speculative gamble to invest in the entertainment field.

>>720021053
There are more people buying games than ever before. It is a colossal industry and the major publishers were making money hand over fist even at $60 just a couple years ago.
They have post-launch content such as DLC, season passes, and cosmetics which keep the cash flowing long after the initial investment.
Additionally, in the current market games are the same price whether you buy them physical or digital. Despite having no costs associated with production, shipping, or retailer deals, digital games are still the same price.

GTA Online is still making Rockstar money 12 years after they made the damn thing.
They could unironically sell GTAVI for 20 bucks and still turn a profit on initial sales alone... and then they have the next 10+ years of Online money.

>satire on american culture

Not only does this post reek of midwittery, but it is even dimwittery if you seriously believe the main reason GTA got popular was because of MUH SATIRE and not because it was THE open world game where you could do whatever you wanted in a way no other game did.

>>720024639
This
When I bought GTA3, I didn't even understand english at the time so the satire part went over my head. I just wanted to fuck around in not-NY

>>720015531
you kinda had to be there to be honest. Rockstar is definitely starting to show their age with their dated mechanics. but the overall detail and quality is still second to none in the industry

It's going to be pretty funny when you ask the GTA6 players 'Are you having fun yet?' and they respond with an incredibly reluctant 'No.'

Imagine if GTA 6 ends up being priced at $20 as well

>>720020127
The more A's there are, the shittier it is.

>>720015531
I have played Vice city and San andreas ( both Red deads too if that counts).
I really don't get the mass appeal. As a kid it was fun to cause mayhem in GTA and i like the setting and world of RDR2 but all and all i think they are pretty boring games.
I don't really like open world games so the problem might be just me.
If you just do the missions you don't experience the world and if you do the side shit the game goes nowhere and after an hour of picking fucking flowers so you can get a new hat you start to think that maybe i should go out and pick real fucking flowers

GTA 6 will be such an unbelievable disappointment.
Not because it'll be a horrible game. It'll be alright. A GTA 5 2.0.
We saw what happened with Cyberpunk. People expect these open world city games to be some sort of life simulators and they get sorely disappointed when they realize the final product is still a damn video game with no depth to it. No enterable buildings. No interactability. Just driving around and shooting people. This time in mini Florida instead of LA.

if you played gta 2 as a kid, you had a blast of your lifetime, at least back then.
when GTA 3 released, it was mindblowing, seeing your character suddenly 3rd person, instead of top down was revolutionary, back then.
just a year later, you got another 3d gta, but not in a modern concrete jungle but a flashy neon 70ies with all the cool shit and listening to phil collins. absolute banger.
another 2 years down the road, you suddenly got a nigger gta, but in the good way, you could sometimes relate to the PC, sometimes to his entourage but overall, it was the culmination of knowledge the devs have gathered over the time.

to this day, people argue that GTA:SA is one of the best, which ultimately comes down to preference.

GTA4, which came 4 years after SA, was hyped up because it was a new console generation, more detailed, you got a physics engine built in and tried a more gritty take on GTA. It was one of the last good GTAs.

Never played the spinoffs like Lost&Damned, Ballad of gay tony or chinatown wars but if you compare 4 to 5 you realize that 5 started to regress in comparsion.
Also changed focus from singleplayer sandbox crime racer/shooter to online tps.

So yeah, 2-4 is worth it, 5 is up to you.

The situation with GTA VI is nowhere near comparable with the release of Cyberpunk, the problem with CP77 is that CD Projekt outright lied, made shit up, promised things that weren't even worked on, posted bullshots and kept the charade going until the last moment. The game also released in a deplorable state, the console versions were borderline unplayable and even if you had a beefy PC it was still a buggy and unstable mess.
One thing that is certain is that GTA VI will be extremely polished, another thing in its favor is that people more or less know what to expect from Rockstar/GTA games and they don't expect Skyrim level of interactivity, they primarily want a huge map and if you can't enter every building it doesn't matter as long as you can enter the relevant ones. Another thing is that R* doesn't do bullshots, the trailers are running in engine, what you see is what you get. I still think it will a disappointment because of diminishing returns, realistically how do you one up GTA V or RDR2? It fundamentally won't be a new and revolutionary experience the way these games were.

>>720023587
It really is though. This is the ultimate normie hype for a game. It's a tall order to live up to the hype but the bar for the target audience is very low. The game is exclusively played by autistic RPers and borderline autistic normies obsessed with collecting every expensive car in the game.

Cuckstar is deathly afraid of flopping now that they have to appeal to wakened lmfao

Wokeness*

>>720014038 (OP)
because casuals buy 1-2 games a year and the most marketed/"hyped" games take those spots

>It fundamentally won't be a new and revolutionary experience the way these games were.
What was revolutionary about GTA V? It was fundamentally the same game as GTA III.

>>720028119
The graphics for starters, it had an unprecedented level of detail and draw distance. The map size was huge but unlike something like Just Cause 2 each part of it was distinct with distinct things to do there. In general it was finally the realization of the GTA III vision without compromises. Another revolutionary aspect was GTAO, sure there were mods for SA and GTA4 Episodes had multiplayer but GTAO was pretty much every normie dream GTA game.

>>720024586
That's easy.
Concord.

>I didn't even understand english at the time
The opinion of ESLs is immediately invalidated.

AAA+ games are for unsustainable and for uncs.

>It's a "black could that looms over everything"
One game to rule them all, one game to find them, one game to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Why the fuck do these retards think that more money and higher prices somehow will make their games better?

>>720014038 (OP)
>Silksong even remotely as relevant as GTA6
LMAO
Next month nobody will be talking about that trash, it's just the current FOTM.
GTA 6 is a globally acclaimed series. Even people who don't like games play it. The Silksong shilling is pretty pathetic.

>>720030167
Yes, we know that GTA is for normalfags who don't even play videogames. What kind of point were you trying to make?

>>720029839
>Play it Gandalf, you must play it!
>DON'T TEMPT ME FRODO, I dare not play it.
>you see, I would play this game from a desire to have fun, but through me they would wield a wallet too fat and terrible to imagine.

The normgroid hype around GTA is making me lose interest day by day. I was actually considering getting a console just to play it at release, but forget it, I’ll just wait until it comes out on PC

>>720030314
Gta was always for normgroids, like COD or FIFA/2K.

which is it

>the story will be Hollywood caliber
That's a negative

AAAAA is what I say when I take a huge shit
That's a statement about the game industry I think

>>720014038 (OP)
We're skipping past quadruple A and going straight to quintuple A?

Gta is for cattle

>>720014038 (OP)
Game journalism will just keep adding A's in order to promote new products?
lol

I'm gonna be real with you.
More than anything else, it's a dark-skinned game.
That's right, a game for non-whites to play out their fantasies.
Well, better than if they did so in real life.

>>720014158
AAAAA

>>720031361
yes, and I will be trolling the niggers who play it online like it's my fulltime military job

>>720014038 (OP)
it's just astroturfed marketing at this point
>oh no a popular game people were talking about the horror for other games aaaaaa
none of this feels real

>>720031361
>play as white Chad
>get phat booty latina GF
Yep. This game only exists so people who aren't us can experience what it's like to be us for a fraction of their miserable lives.

>>720022857
Because gamers have the audacity to not eat shit and call out companies for their retarded and slimy behavior.

>>720014158
AAAAA

Unless I'm watching a porn video I don't care how good the graphics are
I play lowpoly shit most of the time anyways.
