00:00 Hello everybody it's David from NationalWorld.com hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far.
00:04 Today we are playing Grand Theft Auto Online.
00:08 Now the reason that I am playing video games during a work shift is that we need to talk about GTA 6.
00:15 Rumours have been flying around, they've been circulating all over social media and across the internet in general
00:22 but we haven't really gone into a deep dive.
00:24 We're going to start here in the casino, we just need to go and spin the wheel and see what prize we get.
00:30 Come on, big money. What are we going to get?
00:33 Wouldn't mind the car, wouldn't mind 50 grand, wouldn't mind 20 grand.
00:37 And we didn't get any of those so that's great.
00:39 So yes, going back to GTA 6, let's talk about the single player first and foremost.
00:46 So for single player we are expecting the game to be set in Vice City.
00:51 Revisiting a location therefore that we have been before in previous GTA titles.
00:56 GTA 5 is set in Los Santos, that's the gameplay you're seeing right now.
01:01 That's the city that we're in.
01:03 It's loosely based in Los Angeles and Vice City is based off Miami.
01:08 So two very different locations.
01:10 There were rumours that GTA 6 was potentially going to be set in a makeshift version of London.
01:18 That unfortunately does not seem to be the case.
01:21 [GTA 6 THEME]
01:27 So the leading rumour about GTA 6 is that we're going to have a female protagonist.
01:34 Now there's also been female characters in GTA stories before
01:38 but we've never had a playable character so that's a nice addition.
01:42 So on September 18th, this was last year,
01:46 it looked like there was some gameplay that was actually leaked to the internet.
01:51 Obviously we can't play it for you here unfortunately
01:53 but more than 90 videos were shared and Rockstar actually had to step in
02:00 to negotiate a deal with the person who had hacked their systems.
02:04 So it sounds like that gameplay was legit and what we got out of it was a sneaky glimpse
02:10 at what appears to be Vice City.
02:12 Let's get these goods to the drop-off.
02:14 We can make half a million out of this.
02:16 Get that bread up.
02:17 Loads of gameplay leaked.
02:19 Obviously the graphics weren't good.
02:20 The game is still in very very early development.
02:23 Obviously a fair amount of time has passed since last year
02:27 but even still the game is in its very very early stages.
02:31 Still in its infancy but we're expecting a massive graphics update.
02:36 I'm currently playing on the PS4 version of the game on my PS5.
02:39 That's where my account is, that's where my friends play and that's where we will stay.
02:43 But there is a significant graphical enhancement with the expanded and enhanced version
02:48 that came with the next gen consoles.
02:50 We're expecting another big leap forward when GTA 6 comes out graphically.
02:54 This will be considered advanced when the game was released
02:56 especially for an open world such as this.
02:59 And even since GTA 5 came out we've had the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2
03:03 where the graphics and the lighting have been nothing short of spectacular.
03:07 You see on the mini-map in the bottom left we've got a couple of guys
03:09 wanting to take us out.
03:11 They want our goods.
03:13 They're on motorbikes.
03:14 That's unfortunate.
03:15 Tell you what pals, we'll see you later.
03:19 Yeah nice bike bro.
03:23 Still here.
03:26 And not anymore.
03:30 Cool.
03:31 Right where were we?
03:33 Yes the gameplay leak.
03:34 We're expecting a big graphical overhaul.
03:36 We're also expecting a much bigger map than we had in GTA 5.
03:39 Now GTA 5 when this game came out the map was considered absolutely massive
03:44 especially with the vehicles that were in the game.
03:46 But as time's gone on the map has felt significantly smaller.
03:50 We've seen a lot of parts of the map get reused and rehashed
03:54 for different DLCs and different expansions
03:56 especially when it comes to the online section of the game.
04:00 More than that the vehicles are so much quicker now.
04:04 I mean you saw how fast the Krieger that we were driving earlier was going.
04:08 That was I mean released only a couple of years ago that car.
04:12 And it tops the supercar category.
04:15 It's one of the fastest cars in the game.
04:17 We've also got things like the oppressor that just have made
04:21 crossing the map so much easier and so much shorter as well.
04:25 So we're expecting a bigger map in GTA 6 to compensate.
04:29 Take this part of the map which we've been at here.
04:32 Straight to a tree.
04:34 Excellent work.
04:36 Right we're back on the road again.
04:37 So what else do we know about GTA 6?
04:40 Well we're expecting there to be some sort of cross play.
04:43 Now cross play is where you can have gamers from multiple different platforms
04:47 actually playing with and against each other.
04:50 So we have games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty is another one
04:54 where it doesn't matter what platform you're playing on
04:56 whether you're playing on a PlayStation, Xbox or PC
04:59 you can connect with anyone from any other platform
05:02 play with them and play together.
05:04 Play with them and play against them.
05:06 Now for the most part this seems like a good idea
05:09 but one issue that GTA 5 in particular has had is packers on PC.
05:14 I mean you'll see any lobby.
05:16 I mean we are playing in an invite only lobby
05:19 which means that people can't actually join our session unless we ask them to.
05:24 On PC that makes bugger all difference.
05:26 You will still have people joining sessions
05:28 they'll be putting traffic cones on your heads and just creating carnage.
05:32 There'll be constant explosions, orbital cannons going off
05:36 perpetually right across the map.
05:38 It will freeze your PC, it will crash your console.
05:41 And so that's a real concern when it comes to GTA 6
05:44 especially when it comes to cross play
05:46 is how secure is it going to be against hackers.
05:49 And the final thing we need to talk about is a potential release date.
05:53 When will the game actually be coming out?
05:55 Now as I said the support for GTA 5 and GTA Online has dwindled over the last couple of years
06:02 and that's because Rockstar and Take-Two are focusing on the new title.
06:06 Now there is some sort of indication of when they could do it.
06:10 Oh sorry about that lads.
06:15 There's some indication of when it could come out.
06:18 Normally games like this triple-a titles you'd want to release them
06:23 around about the end of the year.
06:26 That's so you can scoop up the Christmas market
06:27 everyone puts it on the Christmas lists
06:29 everyone gets it for Christmas
06:30 your player base explodes
06:31 you can put more microtransactions
06:32 make a shed load of money
06:34 Bob's your uncle.
06:35 But I wouldn't put it past Rockstar to also try a summer release.
06:40 Something they have done in the past and it has been fairly successful for them.
06:45 Then the big question is what year is it going to come out?
06:47 Well we know that it's going to be coming onto these next-gen consoles
06:50 so it's going to be within the lifetime of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X.
06:54 Now I personally don't think it's going to be in 2024.
06:59 Watch that age like absolute milk and Rockstar announce it next year.
07:02 But 2025 could be the year that we receive the new title.
07:09 Whoa whoa whoa okay that's lots of bad guys.
07:12 Just uh...
07:14 Yeah you guys um you have to go sorry.
07:22 How do I run this corner?
07:28 Yeah.
07:28 Give the goods the drop off and that'll be a cool half a million in the bank.
