Grand Theft Auto VI: What we learned from the trailer - 5 GTA 6 Questions Answered
06.12.2023 - 02:05 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Sam Houser
Fans around the world exploded with excitement Monday when Rockstar Games released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI , or GTA 6 -- the most hotly anticipated game of the decade. The first look at the next instalment in the blockbuster series follows years of feverish speculation about the setting, characters and atmosphere of GTA VI.
The trailer shows Vice City, in the state of Leonida, in breathtaking detail -- a major upgrade from the graphics in GTA V, released 10 years ago.
This is a fictional version of Miami, Florida, where the 2002 hit "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" was based.
Set to "Love Is a Long Road" by Tom Petty, the video contains all that people across the globe have come to love -- or hate -- about GTA: high-octane chases in fast cars, a vast open world rendered in rich detail, scantily clad women, and numerous references poking fun at social media culture.
Sam Houser, Rockstar's founder, said GTA VI "continues our efforts to push the limits of what's possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences".
For the first time, a GTA game will feature a woman as one of the protagonists. Front and centre of the trailer is Lucia, introduced at what appears to be a prison in an orange inmate jumpsuit.
She is later shown partnering with a man -- unnamed in the trailer. The duo are seen breaking into stores wearing masks, and racing away in their car from pursuers.
The introduction of Lucia -- and the focus on her in the trailer -- follows decades of criticism against Rockstar over its depiction of women in its games, in particular the lack of agency and the violence and denigration they suffer.
"From what we can tell at this stage... It is a noteworthy decision, and one that other game companies haven't necessarily made in the past when there's an option between gendered protagonists," Esther Wright, a games historian at Cardiff University, told AFP.
"That said, it instantly looks like the GTA people know and love... this is still very comfortably in Rockstar's wheelhouse," she added.
"We'll have to wait and see whether commitment to the GTA branding, and players' expectation of it, leaves enough space to meaningfully engage with a different perspective."
If gamers were thrilled by what they saw of GTA VI, they were left slightly frustrated by the release date revealed at the end of the trailer: 2025.
The game will be released on Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, Rockstar said.
It did not mention a PC version.
There appeared to be near-universal praise from fans on social media, and the trailer swiftly became one of the hottest topics online.
"Gave me goosebumps," commented @sachinbhujel909 on YouTube. "We (have) all been waiting for a good part of
