Like fricking heck dude like do they have full physics ball shrinkage and wrinkling in real time or what that this shits costing 2 billion dollars.
For context star citizen has collected 500 million.
Cyberpunk 2077 cost 313 million USD to make.
RDR2 cost somewhere between 370-540 million.
Either GTA VI is going to be the most advanced most powerful game in the world or it is going to be the biggest clusterfrick in the world in terms of biggest gaming disasters of all time.
Like seriously how the fricks they putting 2 billion in on a game.
This has to be bullshit ain't no way.
These days some companies have started selling games for 70$.
If sold at 70$ the game would have to sell 28+ million copies to be able to cover the budget costs.
For context GTAV has sold 170 million copies worldwide. GTAV had made about 6 billion dollars by April 2018. So you know what, holy shit they can actually afford to throw this much money into the sequel.
Holy shit GTA VI had better sell more copies than minecraft with a budget like that. Minecraft has sold a total 238 million copies till date.
Alright here my prediction. Either GTA VI will sell 25 million copies or 250 million. There is no inbetween.
For additional context the TV show LOTR Rings of power that we mock for its high cost ended up costing 715 million on production. GTA VI is like 2.5X the cost of Rings of power.
There is also the possibility that the information is completely false which would actually make me feel way better. Like 2 billion on a bideo game feels like a bit much even for someone like myself.
Just imagine ten years down the line and somehow the biggest game budgets are now 10 billion dollars a game and somehow they are still turning a profit. It's a crazy butt world out there. Shit I think if this trend continues I might just unironically join latestagecapitalism.
Anyways what features do you expect in GTA VI that will make it better than V? Will the graphics be better than RDR 2? Will the story be actually enjoyable. Will it make more money than the GDP of a middle income nation? Discuss.

I’ll just be cruising the exploit forums to find the 0day dupes and flex on bitches in free mode with my $150 pay2win chrome missile car. Easy. I did the same thing with V and god knows with rstar‘s mess of an engine and highly trained sexy Indian dude cooders doing the needful there will be plenty of money bugs
Fricking stoked honestly

I wonder if it'll be as easy to cheat as GTA V multiplayer. I know a few people who have played it, but not a single one who hasn't used any cheats (or had a friend cheat for them and give them money or something).

It's fun in first person for the first few missions but it got old really fast when it's the gamiest the 'game' can get, and it's still basically just the crappy Vice City autolock gun game.
I literally could have told you why it'd be crappy in 2002. "So it's GTA without cars, just horses, and 1890 tech?"

The game better have every single room in the city fully explorable like cyberpunk 2077 initially promised. Heck, maybe that's what the GTA VI people did, they looked at all the features promised by cyberpunk 2077 people and decided to actually do them and that's what it costs.

It could be, it isn't but it could be.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I mean it's definitely out there but at the same time they did make enough money on GTA V for a budget of 2 billion to become affordable now.
It could also be that GTA VI will come out with a VR version and a mobile version and everything in between that can run it which would explain the additional cost as well.
If anybody could pull it off with turning a profit on a 2 billion dollar project then the guys working on GTA VI would definitely be it.
However, there is also the real chance that the high budget is a sign of the project burning down multiple times and being restarted again and again. So who knows.
