It was certain to occur, actually. Following Purple Useless Redemption 2, Rockstar’s open world tour de drive which was equal elements Grand Theft Horsey and Unhappy Man Dies Slowly Of Tuberculosis, we kind of anticipated Grand Theft Auto to skew just a little extra grown up for its subsequent outing. And from the appears of the trailer, it appears like that expectation has held up:
That is to not say the trailer is devoid of humour. Removed from it. GTA 6 is clearly sending up America’s tradition of extra, movie star, and vapid obsession with fame because it all the time has carried out. However the unhinged facet of GTA look like extra of a backdrop right here than the principle occasion. The primary story, apparently regarding a Bonnie and Clyde partnership of lovers who go round robbing locations, is offered within the trailer as having some nuance and depth. An understated efficiency from the protagonists, and even some tenderness between them.
That is form of a giant deal, as a result of GTA does not actually do tenderness. Not one of the {couples} in GTA really like one another. Buddies and enterprise companions are all the time one mission away from screwing one another over. Folks cheat on one another as a matter after all. As a result of, historically, each GTA character is mainly a cartoon. Not an actual individual in any significant sense: a caricature of a sometimes egocentric, decadent westerner, prison or in any other case. Even Niko Bellic, GTA 4’s tragic lead whose complete story is about failing to stay the American Dream, is an unapologetic assassin. And that is tremendous, GTA is GTA.
