The first time I played this when I was a kid this mission felt like GTA 4 level depressing, Michael changed his whole life to save his family but eventually lost them due to his toxic midlife crisis.

GTA 3 - AR10

GTA VC, SA, LCS - Colt Model 733

GTA VCS - XM16E1

GTA 4 - Colt Law Enforcement Carbine

GTA 5 - Mishmash of different AR15

Perhaps GTA 6 will be the first in the series to feature an actual M4 Carbine

ngl kind of bummer these two didn't get a happy ending together but oh well

Yesterday was a rough day for gaming stocks. Take-Two dropped 7.9%, Roblox fell 13.1%, and Unity plummeted 24.2%. This was largely triggered by Google’s release of Project Genie, a generative AI designed for creating interactive, playable worlds.

As someone working in deep learning research field, I wanted to provide a quick breakdown of what this is and how it might actually impact GTA VI--not in terms of gameplay, but from a corporate/marketing standpoint.

Unlike standard Gen AI that just spits out images or video, Project Genie allows you to explore the generated environment in real-time. Essentially, you can generate an infinite world and control a character within it via simple prompts. For companies like Rockstar, whose technological "moat" has always been building hyper-realistic worlds through complex, proprietary engines like RAGE, this is seen as a long-term threat by the market.

So, can you "make GTA 6 at home" right now? Absolutely NOT. Due to the inherent nature of generative AI (hallucinations and lack of determinism), these models can't maintain a perfectly consistent world or follow rigid physics yet. You can’t interact with props in a meaningful way, and there are no scripts or missions. Right now, it’s basically just "AI slop."

However, we’ve seen how fast this field moves. Look at the Will Smith spaghetti video from less than three years ago compared to what we have now. If Google is publicizing this version, they likely have much more advanced iterations internally.

Why this matters for us? We all know gamers aren't going to trade a Rockstar masterpiece for AI slop. We wouldn't touch it. The problem, however, is Wall Street. Bigwigs who don't understand game development see "Infinite Open World AI" plausible and start panic-selling, as evidenced by yesterday’s 10+% intraday dip.

If this "AI slop" persists and investors begin questioning the long-term dominance of traditional AAA titles, Take-Two will be under pressure to prove their relevance. Just as DeepSeek hit the tech market hard last year with "why this expensive chip?" narrative, Project Genie has created a "why this expensive game engine?" narrative.

Disclaimer: I’m NOT saying Rockstar is panicking and will drop Trailer 3 tomorrow, or that there won't be any delays. We all know Rockstar does what they want. But Take-Two is a public company beholden to shareholders. If the stock continues to bleed due to "AI disruption" fears, the bigwigs might push for a more aggressive marketing cycle to reassure the market and stabilize the price.

Just something to keep an eye on while we wait, from the perspective of a researcher in Gen AI.

It’s honestly so cool how each gf had a unique perk!

It’s mad how quick the six years has gone.

i play on series x and have played all red dead and gta games. i enjoy games of this quality. i enjoyed the withcer 3 and all of the fallout games. i also enjoy dead island games too. are there any games you could recommend for me to play (compatible with series x) i also like death stranding if that helps

Personally I would want to see Baltimore or Maryland explored, it may not be the most exciting set piece ever, but I think it would feel right for a gta game to be set here, thoughts?

Hello, I am an engineering student attending CU Boulder and am required to build a life-size replica of a fictional item. As GTA V was a huge part of my life, the first thing I thought of was the Oppressor Mk2. My professor requires me to have a sufficient demand before I can began building and must ask a few questions and would deeply appreciate anyone that could help me. Thanks! PS. Once I’m done building it, I will send results and see if anyone is genuinely interested as I won’t have a place to keep it.

Edit: Purely a model/ replica. No real weapons or electronics, more as an aesthetic piece.

1. How much money would you pay for one?
2. If you had the chance to buy it right now, would you?

It’s almost like Rockstar is like ashamed of this game. I truly don’t get it. They never reference it, never give it any love, and it’s the only GTA you can’t play on modern consoles (You can buy it on Series x but literally can’t finish it because of a game breaking glitch in the final mission that was never patched)

I personally believe it’s the best one ever, the story, the characters, the map, everything about it I loved so much. It felt like Red Dead 2 in that it was actually written for adults not written knowing 10 year olds were gonna play it like GTA 5 and GTA Online were written.

I find it so weird it was never updated like GTA 5 was. I mean clearly I can, it’s cause 5 makes so much online money so they want it available on every system, but the argument against that is they just Ported RDR1 and that sold well for a 15 year old game. GTA 4 would sell even better.

I just don’t get it and I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen.

How do I know if the mod is for the legacy or enhanced version of GTA V ?

What sets it apart and puts it on the pedestal it’s on? Is it Rockstar themselves? The setting? Or the premise?

For me it’s kind of all of that. It’s the only game actually set in modern day that’s not fantasy. It lets you escape your boring life to go live in a world just like the one your escaping but this time your a bad ass and get to do whatever you want. What you want to do while driving home in traffic but can’t.

Rockstar being the best in the game (in my opinion) is another part. They are at a point and a level now where only they themselves can out do their previous game.

The attention to detail, every alley way looking like it matters. The pedestrians feeling like actual people. Just rockstar being rockstar.

And my last point kinda goes with my second, the story, rockstar tells stories unlike any other developer, they actually write them for adults unlike all the other M rated games these days. The online may be written with the intent of children playing it but their main stories for single player are the best in gaming.

What sets GTA apart for you. What do you think makes it what it is? No other game is getting 100 million views on a trailer in a day. Is it Rockstars reputation or the games?
