New Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer to Ease the Pain

Announced only a few days ago, Grand Theft Auto VI will no longer be coming out this year. The entire rest of my 2025 was being planned around that game release. But now it won’t be out for a fully year, next May. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day was ruined.

To ease the pain, Rockstar shadow-dropped a brand new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer today, only our second look at this expansive game.

I don’t even know where to begin. None of that looked like in-game footage…but what if it is?! We expect nothing but the best from Rockstar, and they’ve been working on this game for nearly a decade. Maybe they will deliver graphics that good! The voice acting and characters look great. Recognized a lot of familiar voices, which is a hoot. The location looks so detailed and with such depth. The characters seem so cool.

It all just looks so real and wonderful. Which I guess will have to sustain us.

You can get some more info on the game at this link to Rockstar’s homepage.

6 Genres for Rockstar to Develop Next

Look, I’m going to level with you fine readers. I’ve spent the past week hip deep in Red Dead Redemption 2, gleefully shootin’ and hollerin’ my way across the old west. Or the new west, whatever the story might be. I haven’t done very much critical thinking beyond whether or not to rob that stage coach. So how about a list of other storytelling genres video game developer Rockstar could develop games for?

Rockstar Genre List 01

I’m still not entirely sure if that’s Arthur or John in the logo

The beauty of a Rockstar game is in the immersion. There are plenty of well-made sandbox games out there, but none reach the depth of world like a Rockstar game. From growing and styling your beard to polishing your guns to tracking animals to realistic mud physics, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a work of art. It’s a game where I like to just walk around, because it wouldn’t fit the story/world/character if he sprinted everywhere.

So Rockstar needs to abandon whatever money-making plans and start whole new franchise! They’ve got cops & robbers with Grand Theft Auto, they’ve got the wild west with Red Dead Redemption and they’ve got a boarding school setting with Bully. Join me after the jump for some loosely imagined other options!
