Look at the new Hyundai design, which is basically a straight horizontal and vertical line, very chiseled and quite metallurgical. The H, though, is the same as on the very round and inoffensive Elantras, Sonatas, Santa Fes, and Tucsons of the 2010s, which worked perfectly; however, I think they now need a Kia treatment. The new Kia logo suits the brand where the old one did not; this is a non-issue, but they seem to be aware of it by using the four dots. I hope they do not go for a four-dot logo, but rather a more robotic and angular version of the H.

I knew of ai goon bait account stealing videos but it never hit me until i saw 3 versions of that video without ever even being sure of having seen the original i typed the caption and hold and behold dozens of videos posted by accounts with thousands of subs little to not comment pointing that it's Ai too.

I'm genuinely still baffled how is this the production version that's actually how i imagined futuristic car in a near future 10 years ago

It's somehow more than i expected yet so disappointing.

Okay, I'm going to make my furthest reach to date.

So, it's pretty much confirmed that Jason and Lucia will be a couple in GTA 6. There were rumors/speculation about a relationship meter mimicking the honor meter in RDR2 and RDO.

In GTA Online, we don't have special abilities per se like in the solo game. However, when the character gains special attributes or temporary boosts, the yellow bar appears near the mini-map and acts like the special ability bar.

In RDR2, the honor meter basically works the same as it does in solo and also adds more or fewer restrictions and ways to make us spend money. But we can tell they tried to implement an honor-based system that has an impact in RDO, similar to RDR2.

Now, where I will be reaching, and I'm not expecting that at all, albeit it would be interesting, is that, in GTA Online v2, they allow or write the story setting on a canvas where the character can either have or already has a relationship or more.

That would give way more depth to our characters, especially if they're not mute this time. It would also give them meaningful connections.

As far as I know, our character in GTAO is a lonely, mute psychopath; aside from celebrating with heist partners, we don't really have any social interactions.

I know you can share activities, more or less serious, with other players, and assuming GTA 6 brings back restaurants and other mini-games, you'll technically be able to go on dates without requiring an actual relationship framework.

I personally see it being handled in 3 ways (assuming this is an idea that they even explore a little bit):

First, it's baked into the story, much like Michael or Arthur; there's some sort of love interest attached to the character. It would give them more personal dimensions, even though it wouldn't be as story and narratively driven compared to the story mode.

Second, further down the line or even from the start, among the NPCs introduced in updates or in missions in the game and with your character having their contact, you could, much like in GTA V story mode, invite them to activities, etc., and maybe have a level of completion that would grant you a relationship.

I don't mean any NPC in the street, but specific NPCs that have a given script that may or may not be a potential partner for the character. They would not be too important, maybe unlocking side activities in the game or small missions, but nothing groundbreaking that would totally alter the story or the stakes of the main missions.

Third is the character relation. Now this one is a bit iffy for me because I don't know how it would be handled and how interesting that may be over just an organization or a posse.

But basically, you can pick whoever to be your partner (of course they have to accept), and it grants both players access to owned safe houses, garages, really superficial things.

Of course, it'd work with friends or whatever grouping system the game uses.

Before anyone tells me this is insane or too much expectation or unrealistic, I know it's very unlikely. I don't think it's unrealistic. I don't know how interesting it could be, but I prefer and find the first two to be the better options, in my opinion.

So assume you already told me how stupid it is, now tell me what you think about this, would you like it? Could it work? Am i missing some caveats about it?

I am genuinely curious about how they will handle the possible appearance of gloriana and overall reaching the map limit or the end of the playable area.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but in the trailers, we only see two kinds of plates: LEONIDA and GLORIANA.

We know that Leonida is a state.

Also, again, correct me, but in GTA, aside from custom plates, they only display SAN ANDREAS, which is supposed to be a state. The only city plates we saw were custom plates, I think, for Liberty City, North Yankton, and Vice City. All that to say, Gloriana is obviously a state, at least we all think so.

Now, they didn't show much of the north of the map except Mount Kalaga, nor did they show much of the ocean horizon, if I remember correctly.

For the south, east, and west of Leonida, I think Florida is the perfect state for GTA 6 after Hawaii due to it being a giant peninsula, so you can do the old tricks of water edged maps and it will feel right.

It could be runing out of fuel, monsters, or their own version of the berumuda triangle with thunderstorms and so on.

The top of the map is actually where the wondering is.

Sure, they could make it an island like every GTA map ever, but that's when the Gloriana problem intervenes.

Mount Kalaga and the whole nature up there sounds fun, but it doesn't seem like it's enough for it to be a state.

Actually, it looks like the north of the map is almost entirely wilderness, and we don't have much knowledge of any actual cities there.

Now, I'm 99% sure they're not hiding a litteral state worth of maps with its cities and so on that'd be too good marketing to pass on. I really feel like they would have mentioned more, or at least we'd know more about it. It'd be great if I was wrong, though.

The thing is, the Gloriana-plated cars have to be coming from somewhere close.

There are so many; like half the cars in the screenshots and trailers have Gloriana's plate. And that implies that Gloriana has to be bordering Leonida.

I get it could neighboring a bit far island or the mainland but how many people ship their car or drive a ferry so far to an island so often for their cars to still be registered on on the mainland but not in leonida? It would be like 30% of Miami traffic having Puerto Rico plates, which I don't think is anywhere near the case or even possible.

So, in my opinion, it's almost certain that Gloriana and Leonida are land connected and share a border.

We then now have three options.

The first is the map will be cut in half or 70/30, with the lower section being Leonida and the top being Gloriana, inspired by Georgia, Alabama, and Florida's panhandle.

However, I wonder if they would make a whole state without any consequent major city or at least a decent-sized one. Imagine the whole top of the GTA 5 map was a state and Paleto Bay was THE city there... Pretty underwhelming imo.

I know Ludendorff was a city in North Yankton; however, it wasn't probably the biggest city there, nor even a major city there.

Technically, we could have a North Yankton type of state with small cities in OPPOSITION to any other states in the gta saga.

In that case, the map is still an island, so everything mentioned about map edges with water is applicable.

The second option is that the north of the map actually leads to the south of Gloriana and has some way to prevent us from going to the major part of said state and also serve as northern map delimitations.

They could just do it like RDR2 and put giant mountains, etc., but compared to RDR2, we have planes, and litteraly everything to go over mountains.

They could just put no roads leading to Gloriana, which would be very weird because where are these Gloriana cars coming from? The GTA 5 map highway system was basically a loop drawn around the map, which makes sense for an island, but in a land-connected state, why are your roads landlocking you from other states?

The northern part have Mount Kalaga, therefore mountains, but we can make tunnels, so the mountains preventing us from making roads just doesn't make sense.

And even if so, we still have planes and boats and off-roaders, though they could just make the mountains too steep for off-roaders and add waterfalls for boats.

For the roads or tunnels, they could simply be closed for work. That's still stupid because, again, where are these cars coming from? And there should be plenty of roads north of said map through and around the mountains, so it wouldn't make any sense for them to all be closed.

They could also just embrace it and make a bunch of roads north of the map that drive to nowhere long enough that any transportation means you use automatically run out of fuel when you drive, fly, or navigate too far north.

Then, stamina or animals will kill you as you will have to abandon your vehicle if you didn't crash already because you were in a plane.

They could also use natural disasters. I don't know how, though, because why would there be a hurricane in the north of the map but not the south? Or maybe there could be tornadoes or just a really bad storm, but all those don't feel like they should be permanent.

Again, how the hell are Gloriana cars coming to Leonida then? I think the "we're just going to make more map until at some point it just becomes pixel throw-up" like RDR2 works because, say, you drive so much that the game prevents you from escaping the playable area and succeeding. As far as you are concerned, Gloriana does exist with its big cities, etc.

It's a 9-hour drive from Atlanta to Miami, or even if you start from the top of the map, they can just make it so Gloriana has this very wild, unoccupied southern border with roads connecting it to leonidq ith cars spawning indefinitely.

By the time you hit 30 minutes driving on a straight road in-game, that's like 5-6 hours in game time, which means fuel is over then, You get out, obviously, and they figure a way to kill you.

Now, obviously, there will be hacks and glitches, but in a lore-friendly way, that would make somewhat sense and will still feel like there's a world out there. It's basically like being a kid; you can't fly or afford to ride too far, but you know there are things beyond your town, city, or state.

3rd solution:

Leonida is the only state and just an island. The Gloriana plates are just cars from Gloriana, but the state is nowhere to be seen. We just assume it's connected by imagination or close enough for cars to take the ferry, but too far for planes and boats.

TLDR: How will rockstar handle gloriana and the north of the map?

A: Island+ 2 state solution gloriana being the top leonida bottom

B: peninsula with gloriana being like mexico with map getting worse in texture the further you get in

C: island leonida alone and gloriana just be on the plates and mentioned but not there physically?

Moved to this house decent sized backyard. We don't have any yard tool as we didn't have any yard prior to this so i'm looking for the best budget power tools that can help me get rid of a lot of bamboo and also take care of the yard weeds brush etc...

I'm so tired of this discourse about dev time they didn't take 13 years to make that game atleast not technically.

Gta 5 came out 3 years after rdrw rdr2 came out 5 years after gta 5 by the logic of we hop on the sequel right after release rdr2 took 8 years of development.

That didn't happen. While yes it was in the batch outlining the frame, actual development didn't start until gta 5 came out because they actually used majority of all the teams for rdr2 unlike the previous formula of using different studio e.g. rockstar north for gta and san diego for rdr.

During the 5 years of active development and majority of teams on rdr2 gta 6 was merely a concept to later be in early stage of development by the release of rdr2. Earliest mentions talk about scouting florida in 2014 so they already had vice city in mind but for the setting, the characters etc it was established later probably and leaked first in 2018 right before rdr2 matching the timeline aforementioned.

Basically it didn't take 13 years of full computer development much more like 8 to 6 years. It wouldn't even make sense again cuz if they started in like 2013 2014 they'd be developing for the ps4 which clearly wasn't an option.

With adapting constantly for tech shift over a decade it would've just collapsed ran in circle. These games seem to all follow the same structure, a roughly 5 years development starting at the beginning or toward the end of a console generation for the next one to end up systematically being released at the end of said console able to get as much as they can from it.

I feel like GTA 6 is getting expectations that make no sense at all from the casual audience, grossly misinterpreting what this game will be, and overhyping it. so let’s clear it up:

​

What GTA 6 is NOT going to be:

​

- A Life Simulator that allows you to enter every interior and make relationships with every NPC while taking on everyday jobs in the biggest map in gaming history with a 500 hours long story that lets you roleplay as anyone and make story choices in every conversation that is also somehow playable in co-op

​

What GTA 6 will actually be (most likely):

​

- A stellar 30-50 hour cinematic main story campaign focused on Jason and Lucia plus their supporting cast.

​

- It is very likely that the game will have a ton of interiors, far more than any previous GTA game going off the old leaks but NOT every building and apartment is enterable. This is grossly unrealistic to expect, the 3D interiors in windows is simply a graphical effect like in Insomniac’s Spider-Man

​

- A map likely bigger than GTA 5 but not COUNTRY sized, it will be Vice City and smaller towns surrounding it plus various biomes of countryside (swamps/forests/mountains), we’ve already had Rockstar list out all the major locations, a good point of comparison is imagine bigger than Los Santos city with a Red Dead 2 level countryside outside of it.

​

- Some people genuinely believe you will be able to get into relationships with any NPC, this is extremely unlikely and improbable. Jason and Lucia are the canon couple.

​

- You won’t be role playing as different people, again, this isn’t an RPG. I believe Greet/Antagonize will return and be expanded from RDR2 allowing us to speak to any NPC, but don’t expect it to affect the story in some way, this is a Jason and Lucia story

​

- Story mode is single player, there is no co-op playing as Jason and Lucia. Online mode is its own thing just like in GTA 5. It is also important to note Online likely won’t be available on November 19th, but instead launches a month or two weeks after the single player as it was with RDR2 and GTA 5

​

For people who expect and want to have this infinitely long experience and dump thousands of hours, taking on odd jobs and role playing, I am sure GTA 6 Online will have a lot of that covered.

We should be good right following the window release then one date then delay.

These are the 3 actual "pcsetup" i've ever had.

2016 vs 2023 vs 2026. Did i downgrade on the two last? Atleast aesthetic wise? I was really over the all white aesthetic and leds went for something warmer and sober also i moved in with my girlfriend so there's that. Always rocking single monitor plus tablet combo... what are the thoughts?

See as a dasher this never crossed my mind because there's no screen doors that open inward.

I tipped them so i Hope it's not pettiness and even if i epxpect tip as gesture so there's that.

but then that would mean it's either they don't care or they just forgot but come on...

Pretty happy with the result, i'm now looking to get even lighting and top views of table setting etc any one has any tips with food? This was at my school cafeteria where i work a marketing assistant just used the occasion to practice.
