Grand Theft Auto VI

According to reports, Grand Theft Auto VI has already cost Rockstar Games 2 billion dollars, which means that they might spend as much as $3 billion on GTA VI before it's released. 💸 This in turn has started a rumor that the game would cost as much as $150 when it comes out. Kind of makes sense if you think how much it costs to develop but I am sure they will still make a hefty profit out of it. After all, it is considered the most anticipated game there's ever been and even GTA V made over $1 bn in three days after it's release. It has made $8.5 billion in total. 💰 I personally could also see GTA 6 being released with a more moderate price and have a multitude of microtransactions in-game. In other news, some other rumors claim that 70% of the buildings in-game are accessible by the player. Sounds crazy, but we will see. 🙂

My biggest concern about the game is that most of the budget will probably be spent on new and improved GTA Online. GTA 5 had decent, but not that long main story. There's a reason why we are waiting for GTA 6 for over 10 years now - GTA Online is just too good at making money. Rockstar might decide to shrink main story to absolute minimum to invest more money and effort into online part.

That is a good point and probably true, but I really expect the story will be epic as well after all these years.

Finally, AAAAA game 😂 In all seriousness, amount doesn't look believable. I would believe more that few billions is the allocated budget for game support during first few years since the launch.

Yeah, after reading more about it, I think that's exactly what the original source of the claim meant and the hacker leaking the data misunderstood it. 😄

Grand Theft Auto VI

They say the last stages of Grand Theft Auto 6 development are already underway. 😲 Apparently the leaders of Rockstar Games have told the employees of the company in an email that the final push of GTA 6 is about to begin. ❗ The employees have been called back to office work starting from April to increase the security and productivity (😅) around the project, but I do get it as it's one of the most wanted games in terms of leaks. Fans have gone crazy already on the first trailer that now has 178 million views in less than three months, and initially 90 million views in 24 hours. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdBZY2fkU-0) 📈 I don't blame them either as it has been over a decade since the release of GTA V, so the hype is real! 🙌 There's also a rumor going on that GTA6 will bring back a familiar song from GTA: San Andreas. Anita Ward's disco classic Ring My Bell from 1979. 🎶 Looking forward to Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2. Maybe it will include "Ring My Bell" or some other banger such as Tom Petty's Love is A Long Road from the first trailer. 😎

GTA6 is finally announced! According to the trailer, it's clearly an improvement over GTA5. Unfortunately, visually it doesn't look like nextgen. Also was kind of expecting it to come out already in 2024. Clearly most of the remaining work will be to polish next instalment of GTA Online. And PC version might be released even later than 2025.

Grand Theft Auto V

🚨🎮 Steam Deck owners, we've got some bad news... 🎮🚨 GTA Online is no longer compatible with the Steam Deck, thanks to Rockstar’s recent addition of BattlEye anti-cheat software. 🛑 While you can still dive into the world of GTA V’s Story Mode, GTA Online is now off the table for Deck players. 😕 Here’s the twist: BattlEye does work on Steam Deck… if developers opt in. All Rockstar would need to do is reach out to enable it, but for some reason, they haven’t taken that step. 🤔 It’s especially puzzling considering GTA Online continues to rake in millions for Rockstar, and the Steam Deck remains a fan-favorite for playing the game. The result? Steam reviews are starting to reflect player frustration, with opinions split nearly 50/50. Negative feedback is creeping in as people voice their disappointment over the decision. So, what do you think — is Rockstar making a huge mistake by keeping the Steam Deck in the dark? 💬 #GTAOnline #GTAV #GTA5 #SteamDeck #Rockstar #RockstarGaming #BattlEye

Escape From Tarkov

Here's my current Kappa progress in Escape from Tarkov's current wipe (v0.15.0.0). So all of these quests must be complete before getting the Collector quest from Fence that rewards you with the largest in-game secure container and the DEADSKUL armband. In addition to that, you have to collect all the streamer items shown in this list. I currently have 31/39 of those. Probably the most difficult ones I've already found.👍 I was able to achieve it last wipe but let's see if I have enough time and motivation to grind it! #EscapeFromTarkov #Kappa #Collector #KappaContainer #DEADSKUL #BSG #BattleStateGames #EFT #wipe #StreamerItems

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

Season 6 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sounds like it’s shaping up to be a must-play for horror fans. With the return of The Haunting, the new season introduces two horror-themed maps – Drive Thru, featuring a killer clown-themed restaurant, and Mad Cow, a chilling slaughterhouse that feels straight out of a slasher film. 🤡🔪 Fans of characters like Art the Clown and Michael Meyers will definitely appreciate the spooky atmosphere these maps bring. Plus, 5 new Shipment variants are being added, giving players even more content to explore. While I might not be diving in myself, I can see how this season would be a blast for anyone who loves the mix of horror and gaming. 🎮👻 #CallofDuty #MW3 #Season6 #TheHaunting #Warzone #HalloweenGaming #SpookySeason #MichaelMeyers

Deadlock

There are hackers in Deadlock! 🤯 Even though the game is still in development, the cheaters have already surfaced and are ruining it for everyone else. That's not a surprise really. Luckily, according to Deadlock developers AKA Valve, there is an anticheeat on the way. 👍 Let's just hope it will be a good one as it is not easy to fight the hackers nowadays 😅

The popular game engine, Unity, has decided to give up their "runtime fees" that they introduced pretty much a year ago. 🚀 This scheme of theirs has been effectively ruining their reputation, making developers go crazy and also made their CEO resign. 🫠 So what was this model with the runtime fees? It meant charging the developers a fee every time the game was installed after the game had made over a minimum revenue limit and was past a certain install count. It made many game developers to reconsider their use of Unity as a game engine. 💸 They apologized after the initial news and made some softening blows to the pricing model which made it not that harsh. Still the damage was done; the CEO had to go and they also laid off 1800 people, which apparently was not related to this business strategy change.. 🤔 They've admitted it was a bad idea, but only after "deep consultation with their community, customers and partners" according to their new CEO Matt Bromberg (https://unity.com/blog/unity-is-canceling-the-runtime-fee). They are switching back to traditional pricing model that changes only on an annual basis. So it sounds like it's going to a better direction again, but I'm curious to see how they will manage to re-gain trust and more users in the future.❓ #unity #runtimefees #developers #gamedev #news

Concord

I recently posted about Concord being a flop and I wasn't exaggerating. They have decided to shut it down this week only 14 days after its release. 🤯 This must be some sort of a record considering how big of a game it was thought to be by the publisher. 💣 They've ceased all sales and promised to refund all purchases. 💸 I suppose they're going to try the F2P route or something along those lines. I'm sure they wont let 8 years worth of development costs go down the drain just like that. 🤔 #Concord #Sony #Flop #F2P #ShutDown #Refund #PSN #Firewalk
