Support NeoGAF

[Snowdonhoffen]

Damn, I can't believe the lengths people is going to "confirm" this game is woke

 

[DeepEnigma]

Is this a good source or nah?

-The game will be very critical of Woke culture and the petty theft law in the United States (Shoplifting)

 

[SlimySnake]

Lol



Its been absolutely mad to see such an overwhelmingly positive and unanimous response to this trailer. For the past few hours, it seems the gaming world has united and its beautiful. Rockstar has brought us all together. They get what we want. Rockstar knows their audience. ND and other devs hate their audience.

[Senua]

maybe because those models were fake. she actually looks like a real woman in the r* model. man the internet is full of crazies

 

[Dacvak]

This game looks pretty neat. I’ll probably get it.

 

[Stafford]

Sorry man, but yes they do.

Infact the rumour is this could be franklin from gta5 after trans surgery, which i am strating to believe.

Alright, hold on. I just don't know GAF well enough I guess, but you are joking here, right? Because then I can chuckle, it's funny I guess. I just can't tell if you're serious or not. Did I accidentally visit RetardEra? If you're not joking......

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUH!

 

[SABRE220]

Ill be honest I expected more from the visuals especially the texture work buy god damn the sheer depth here more than makes up for it, I have never seen such variety in assets. It's like they said fk it we are not duplicating assets and models and went all in on unique details and I have little doubt this is going to be by far the most immersive open world so far.

 

[Stafford]

maybe because those models were fake. she actually looks like a real woman in the r* model. man the internet is full of crazies

Who even made those 3D models? See, this is why those leaks suck. It shows stuff that wasn't meant to be seen by the public. Folks are mad because Rockstar made changes and now it doesn't look like fan made 3D models? People are funny.

 

[sendit]

So twerking is disgusting but murder is good

Religion sucks.

 

[mckmas8808]

Probably the worst thing surrounding this game will be the swarm of politispergs (yes on both sides) using it as a vehicle to push their ideals. And it will definitely confuse/drown out realistic criticism of this game.

Already, people who aren't aware of what Florida, and particularly party-Miami is today are calling out "woke". Which, by the way, the game likely will be in some, if Schreier's reporting is as accurate as usual. But until I see outright glorification of "gangster culture"/soft on crime or any other assorted progressive rhetoric from this, I'm not going to throw that word around.

WHAT?! Gangster culture has nothing to do with progressive rhetoric. Were you sleepy when you typed this?

 

[March Climber]

Ok thread ignore.

This thread is sinking so fast

I’m glad they’re posting here. Now you all can finally see the annoyance I saw this entire time.

The ‘woke’ and ‘finding woke in everything’ arc has been the most annoying internet arc of arguably the past 10 years. You guys are seeing it in its full, ridiculously stupid glory.

It’s so bad that I’d rather go back to the time when everyone called everything ‘cringe’ because I never thought that arc would be outpaced in annoyance.

 

[Hugare]

Yeah, the internet is full of idiots

Those models were made based on the leak, they are unnoficial

Saw people saying that they looked younger on the leak. Could be flashbacks where we play as Lucia/Jason before her arrest, but I doubt it. They just probably changed their models.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Fuck now i want to play vice city Is the remaster still shit?

It's definitely more playable than it was. I fired it up maybe a little less than a year ago and I found the framerate no matter what the setting was to still be inconsistent as all hell (PS5)

For me its the chunk of songs that are missing from it that really sorta kill the experience.

Yep, people get really paranoid with their "woke" fear. It's like a trend or something.

I'm still holding out hope for the multi era part of the early leaks. The 80s music was probably my favorite part of Vice City. Maybe they'll give us an 80s station or something if it's all modern.

 

[[Sigma]]

The twerking in that trailer is top-tier. Supreme animation work at work.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Already approaching 100M views (80.5M on official) including Gamespots upload. Insane.

It's about time someone defeated BTS, why not Rockstar Games

 

[Banjo64]

Iconic.

Vice City deserves this love and deserves to finally be centre stage in the HD era.

 

[March Climber]

It’s worse, because it sidelines any and all fun discussion and makes it so that the other party has no choice but to try and disprove a negative claim. It devolves and drives all forms of conversation into ‘is this woke or not?’ which is really fucking boring when you want to discuss an actual video game, or graphics, or gameplay, etc.

On top of that, the ones using it to troll don’t realize that they’re feeding this giant beast every time they do it, because quite a few of the more paranoid ones don’t understand what sarcasm or humor is.

Im sure there will be plenty of throwback songs. V had a bunch on the pop and rock stations. Then you had the West Coast Classics with all of the old school rap. Could totally see us getting an old school East Coast rap station, hosted by Pitbull or Flo Rida or something lol

I agree, people just throw the woke accusations into the conversation like their have the fundamental right on their side. It's really a problem, honestly.

Give me some of that old school Luda, Juvenile, throwback to Biggie, etc.. I'd even take newer shit from Moneybagg Yo, Gucci and the like. Hell, throw in some Morray too. Gotta get that east coast dirty south drip.

Before in discussion threads we would see people looking into every single frame to make a list of every type of weapon spotted in the trailer, now we see people trying to prove why a character is probably gay lol

I think you're giving most of them too much credit by assuming it's sarcasm or humor and not them seeing the woke boogeyman in literally everything. You're right though, it's exhausting and contributes exactly nothing to the conversation.

I mean the trailer had an 80s Tom Petty song. Heck it's even off of the same album as Running down a dream which was on San Andreas. Good sign if ya ask me!

 

[Shubh_C63]

Never got into GTA5 except vice city. Please be immersive enough to make me thing of vice city again. gta5 was not immersive for me

 

[Chuck Berry]

Exactly I want all of that plus some OutKast, Wu Tang, Ginuwine, Geto Boys, Mobb Deep..the list goes on.

I have no doubts they'll deliver. They always deliver on the music. And that OST...

GTAV's radio stations have been adding songs for years. Im sure VI will be the same way.

 

[ProtoByte]

WHAT?! Gangster culture has nothing to do with progressive rhetoric. Were you sleepy when you typed this?

It does, if indirectly.
Progressives argue that modern criminality, and the aesthetics, attitudes and results that come with it or it's simulation, especially when it stems from certain ethnic demographics, is the result of ancestral colonial trauma and late stage capitalism or something like that.

If they don't explain this to you in a thesis or Atlantic Article, or have a character in a major film or television show basically say it, they will effectuate their ideology by inserting legal and economic policies that go soft on it is the courts and tacitly incentivize it in the zeitgeist. See LA, San Francisco; New York, Chicago and more large cities for the urban level. On the federal level, see the southern US border and all its results, and the welfare state that has hooked entire demographic subsections on government fiat for 2-3 generations.

Given that Jason Scheier has literally said the company has inserted progressivism into itself from the top down, it would be ignorant to pretend that GTA - THE "current day" game whenever it comes out - would be immune to becoming the same progressive propaganda vehicle that so many other games have become in recent years.

Maybe they will South Park and critic it. but definitely will be a part of GTA6

 

[Kerotan]

They just released a new clip showing off the metro in GTA VI

 

[Senua]

Fake as hell

The clip not the fact it's from GTA VI

 

[DeepEnigma]

There is no metro in FL, but that is definitely Liberty City Zoo York.

 

[March Climber]

A lot of you are sounding like you would be more comfortable over at era.

To you and everyone who liked your post: I don’t want GAF to be the polar opposite of era. We should be better than them.

I’ve said countless times here that we should stop caring about that site. It feeds nothing but disdain, like constantly caring about an ex years after a breakup, and it makes many users here fit into the box others are constantly trying to put us in. GAF could be so much better if we simply let them go.

 

[NightmareFarm]

Cant believe it's been 10 years since GTA V

 

[mckmas8808]

Scroll through this comment thread and take a shot every time you hear the word "woke" used

For a game trailer that has literally nothing even beginning to approach woke in it

Culture war has rotted so many young minds and itd gonna take a long time to heal

Lol

OR...........it's two great companies making amazing games with different ideas with their art.

Everything said here is a lie!

 

[SlimySnake]

Yeah, i didnt want to see someone take a literal shit when i logged on to gaf today....

 

[ProtoByte]

Everything said here is a lie!

I took you to be a more rational poster, but I guess I was wrong. Who do you think you're gaslighting, exactly?

Anyway, reasonable and literate people can see that my original comment was that "woke" is not currently an accurate label for this game, so I don't think further explanation is needed.

 

[NightmareFarm]

Damn, I can't believe the lengths people is going to "confirm" this game is woke

Im kind of surprised it has such positive reception in 2023 where everything is "woke".

 

[DeepEnigma]

Lol

I know which one has far better gameplay controls. Especially in the gunplay.

Both have great attention to detail. Both have great tech and artistic talent.

 

[WoJ]

I'm not the biggest GTA fan. I also hate wokeness.

I don't see the wokeness in this trailer. I'm also now very interested in this game. Looks amazing.

I won't buy at launch because I buy few things at launch and I also want to see how it plays first. But it's definitely going to be something I pay attention to up until release now.

 

[Agent_Nobody]

There is no metro in FL, but that is definitely Liberty City Zoo York.

 

[Marvel14]

The trailer clearly makes it look like Lucia is the leader of the two. She's probably the brains, while he is the brawn. It's impossible to say what to think of the dude because well, how much have we seen and heard him? He's pushed to the side for this trailer.

One thing is for sure, those hooker "visits" will be a thing of the past.

Uh oh...if the female character is more capable than the male one someone's gonna get their knickers in a twist! A Burning-shit-for-45 mins protest review upcoming!

You read it here first folks.

 

[Stafford]

This whole trans shit is insane. It's based on nothing, not even a proper source. As for woke, when people say this. Do they mean the fact that Lucia very likely is the leader of the two?

I do not mind this, as long as they don't make the dude out to be worthless, super dependent on her and basically just a chump. I don't expect he will be, but it's clear he was "pushed" to the background for the first trailer. I expect both to be cool and interesting characters.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Sorry man, but yes they do.

Infact the rumour is this could be franklin from gta5 after trans surgery, which i am strating to believe.

 

[Imtjnotu]

This games 100% going to have a couple gay characters in it at some point, probably drag queens and transvestites too walling around. Just from the vibes shown in the trailer thsts gonna be there they are clesrly being authentic.

and I'm preparing a bag of popcorn for reading the comments here when that becomes clear to everyone

This reminds me of the post that said the game will probably have electric cars now.


Gay Tony was in 2009....

 

[Topher]

This game looks pretty neat. I’ll probably get it.

I will probably do all these things also.
