So Grand Theft Auto 6, the most hyped entertainment product of all time except for maybe the epic of Gilgamesh, has been delayed to next year. In what must surely be a calculated move to keep a legion of angry gamers from burning down their offices, Rockstar Games has finally entered full marketing mode for the hotly anticipated title, dropping a story trailer and dozens of screenshots. Supposedly, all this footage is running on a basic, non-Pro PS5, which makes me very excited as an owner of just that system.
As hinted by that initial teaser, Grand Theft Auto 6 will see you playing as both halves of a Bonnie and Clyde-style criminal couple, which definitely makes a change from the "here are three cynical assholes" approach of its predecessor. After a job gone wrong, Jason and Lucia's idyllic lives of shaking down fellow tenants for a drug-dealing landlord and relaxing in state prison respectively are turned into a fight for survival through every level of the shockingly well-realized Vice City. The trailer is fittingly scored by The Pointer Sisters' 'Hot Together', and would probably make me more excited if the game was still coming out this year.
