GTA 6 reportedly aiming to be a Roblox style UGC platform and metaverse
Roblox and Fortnite have evolved into UGC-heavy metaverses, and GTA 6 may be going down a similar route, according to a new report.
and potentially their brand sponsors
Well, there it is. In-game ads in the form of "user-generated content", from the sound of it. Also has paid mod vibes.
Hope I'm wrong and it's actually great.
If I have to play it with another human being, I will not play it. I play games to escape from the rest of the species not engage with them.
Thank you. 🙏 I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
Makes sense, considering what people have been doing with it like with Fivem. Players did more to extend the life of GTAV (and IV) than Rockstar.
Sounds awful.
it's not too late to cancel gta6.
Metaverse, Roblox and Fortnite. All the buzzwords I needed to stop waiting for that game.
With buzzwords like metaverse being thrown around, I'm imagining a GTA6 that has brand partnership NFTs. Like when Madden/FIFA added Nike items in 2023.
But that would never happen, since GTA is known for satirizing brands and corporate behavior, right? Besides, these brands would never want to be shown alongside gamer-generated content...
I was going to be mildly upset I couldn't play multiplayer If I pirate it. Now I'm dodging a bullet.
GTA V Online already are those in a way, no? I can't blame them for leaning into it. I'm not interested anyway.
Basically. Though official scripting support is what turned Roblox from a social lego game to one of the largest videogames on earth. In my own time on roblox, the biggest thing was cloud persistence for the scripting API that allowed people to make studio-level games.
Modding on GTA is still technically unsupported and unofficial. You really have a restricted sandbox for anything that R* will accept on their servers.
GTA is more like a secondlife or club penguin than it is a roblox atm.
EDIT: so modding is going towards an "official" capacity apparently. That'll be what turns GTA from clun penguin to Roblox, proverbially.
I thought this franchise was dead, the last game came out on the 360
they are always released first as a console exclusive and then the PC version comes out later. they make more money that way because of contracts and capitalism. every single game they have made so far has been extremely good
There's only one GTA game for me:
gtados.batBasically GTA VI is Rockstar trying to monetize FiveM and so on? How they expect to work until the game is released on PC?
They will monetize GTVI like GTAV, they will double/triple dip with exlusivity on both hardware (console) and PC launcher (Epic): customers wallet voted for this to the bone.
The now I hear about GTA6, the more confident I get that my pessimism towards this franchise’s future is warranted.
No Dan Houser, no Lazlow Jones, hell - probably NONE of the same dev team at all from GTAV (let alone earlier).
This is likely going to end up some weird “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” style monster where some gatcha/shark card filled “live service” is going to go around masquerading as the next entry in this franchise.
