WOKESTAR games makes WOMAN OF COLOR protagonist frothingfash

they nailed contemporary florida btw; the energy is very correct

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 43 points 9 months ago

The energy feels very much like every American stereotype I've seen or heard about, as a non American.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 46 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Florida is the Trump of America. Basically unfiltered and decadent

Texas is the John Wayne / Chuck Norris of America. Basically an idealized version of individualism and frontier but in reality it’s just an act

[-] roux@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

Christ, this is accurate af.

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago

I'm from Texas. This is too accurate. Everyone here is a poseur (I'm sure I am too). I have Family from the Northern part of Florida, so while different, it is still insane. When I went to the beach by Peninsula, every house had Trump flags flying. Any hurricane would wipe those houses out instantly.

[-] roux@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

I'm in the panhandle and there is this bizarre disconnect where these people just love their "rugged individualism" but then Sunday rolls around and they are all about church unity and outreach, but in a superficial sort of way. I hate how many people here are fake nice and fake smiles.

"I'm not from Texas but I got here as soon as I could", I'm gonna go puke now.

And don't get me started on all the fucking lifted trucks that never make it outside city limits...

I get what they're going for here. Show the city, the vibe, the graphical and animation differences over the first one. Not too much, but teased enough to make it abundantly clear that this is a leap forwards over 5. (which it should be, it's been 10 years)

Get the tastebuds going and leave them wanting more by giving no payoff to the trailer, the moment of climax is literally a cliffhangar. Will the robbery go ok? Will they trust each other? Will they betray each other? Who knows. Wait for the next trailer which will be on a totally different topic.

I think one thing I did notice in this trailer is that there is significantly more difference in the body diversity of character models, you've got larrrrrrge big bodied people, you've got height differences, you've got skinny women, you've got thiccccc women, there are huge muscle building men, gaunt guys, short guys, tall guys, overweight guys and more. At least I'm pretty sure I see different heights here:

Diversity of bodies is very difficult to do and stands out when games do it instead of using a 3 or 4 models over and over. I hope there's a huge range, it always irks me when every single character in a game is the same height.

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 25 points 9 months ago

Red dead 2 also had a good variety of body shapes, but even this looks to be more diverse than that.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago

It's one of the most valuable ways these world simulation style games can go to completely change the feel of them. One thing however that I think it will also do is highlight the absence of children. Not that I'm advocating for children in these games because they'll only be murder fantasies for people but when walking a city and seeing things like skateparks or children's equipment you also expect to see the occupants that would typically be at them. The closer we get to simulating cities and places the more certain things being absent will feel very uncanny.

Needs to include Gusano's and insane old retirees.

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 40 points 9 months ago

there was definitely an insane retiree near the end of the trailer

[-] SpanishSpaceAgency@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago

Based on the woman who smashed a car with two hammers i think

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

After playing RDR2, I was hoping GTA 6 would have missions where you end up being roped into a CIA-backed Gusano plan to invade Cuba and get BTFO’d by not-Castro

There’s still hope it’ll happen, especially if the company still values controversy

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago

There’s still hope it’ll happen, especially if the company still values controversy

but that's not the kind of controversy they value. Politically they've always done the south park libertarian nihilist schtick of "isn't all sides just equally crazy?!?!?!" RDR 2 might be a slight exception to that rule, because they set it 124 years ago

Really lazy for rockstar to pack this trailer with tons of footage of actual Florida instead of finishing their game

[-] Rashav3rak@hexbear.net 40 points 9 months ago

Fully expecting this to be yet another Rockstar Special, i.e. a technical marvel rendering a painstakingly crafted world, full of boring gameplay, underdeveloped systems, and dull, unlikable characters.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

Biggest complaint of RDR2 - seemingly never ending tutorials. Every fucking mission had a new gameplay piece that wasn't used for fucking anything else and required you to use buttons in a totally different way than the last one.

Im not hyped for it but I will admit im very curious how it will turn out.

[-] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

Yeah, same story here. Never really cared for GTA beyond/before 4 (which is apparently the black sheep lol), but I have to admit the Bonnie and Clyde theme is an interesting turn. I guess, in my case, it's also because it seems like the protagonist isn't boring and unsympthetic (cough 5).

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

My thoughts exactly. I had no hype at first since I didn’t like 5 very much, but now I’m interested at the very least. Could easily be shitty, but I’m hoping not.

Just stop it

Stop injecting woke politics in my vidja

No one needs to see a het couple in a game

[-] TheWorldSpins@hexbear.net 36 points 9 months ago

I just want the Red Dead thing of disappearing into the wilderness (swamps in this case) and emerging back into civilization covered in blood and dirt and like 5 extra inches of hair. If they pulled that off it would be GOTY for me.

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago

Really want Florida Man style cryptid events

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 34 points 9 months ago

I cant wait to run over gusanos and rich people in this hyperrealistic game

Theres no way this doesnt end badly, it kinda feels irresponsible to make a game like this

[-] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 39 points 9 months ago

Ten bucks says the main character is a gusano. Probably some reference about their family fleeing the great evil for beautiful America and now she has to turn to crime to survive. Rockstar isn't clever, and they love their right wing views.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Rockstar isn't clever, and they love their right wing views.

RDR2 was far from right wing. Though Dan Houser said he never cared for GTA and only like RDR, so perhaps the writing direction will be different.

Probably some reference about their family fleeing the great evil for beautiful America and now she has to turn to crime to survive.

… did you play GTA 4? It was an ex-Yugoslav veteran coming to America to achieve the American dream only to realize it’s all fake and the people are stupid for believing it.

San Andres was literally about CRASH harassing black people and forcing you to be involved with crime. At worst they’re libertarian but they seem to lean on the “wow the government is really shitty and we have to resort to crime” angle.

I don’t understand why conservatives were automatically angry with this game just because of a female character. Couple gangs exist in real life. Aside from Bonnie and Clyde, there are several spree/serial killers with a couple dynamic. Did they forget that Natural Born Killers is a controversial movie that people tried to censor? Shouldn’t they be celebrating the game for taking that path?

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago

Because there's a segment of gamer reactionary culture that hates the idea of females entering the gaming space, i.e. gamergate never ended for these fucking "people" and they are eternally angry.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

You're giving them too much credit if you think the thought process was anything more than "women in my vidya, bad!!" Because that's what they've been told to think for a decade.

Biggest media thing in the world and you deliver such a weak ass fucking trailer? There's no oomph to it at all, random ass shots just thrown together, like something someone would throw together for a demo reel for internal use at some project meeting

[-] abc@hexbear.net 38 points 9 months ago

take a deep breath comrade

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago

It's trailer one, so I guess it's the trailer for the trailer lmao.

I hate modern media sometimes.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago

That’s how they present the previous games. It’s obviously working because everyone is talking about it and anticipating the next trailers.

The trailers are usually in this order:

Game environment -> Story -> Gameplay -> Feature Showcase -> A little bit more serious trailer -> Multiplayer

Yeah compared to the Gta 4 trailers it's pretty weak, even V's trailer was better though the game itself wasn't very good.

You're gonna need 250 gigabytes and an RTX 5090 to play this game

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

I'd be interested if not for their history of gutting content in favor of their scam online services 🫤

Add like 2 years to whatever the release date is for the PC version that my modest machine will surely be too outdated to run

[-] HankScorpio@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

I'm curious how they'll handle the crime aspect with it taking place in modern times. I was thinking again how this woman in the 2020 George Floyd protests was identified and arrested via an Etsy purchased shirt. Maybe the game takes place over the course like 72 hours before they get caught? I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but something that forces Rockstar to have a different story architecture than having the entire map open for you to hop from mission location to mission location would be a nice change.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

Most crimes aren't investigated this thoroughly. Half of murders go unsolved.
