It was sure to occur, actually. Following Pink Useless Redemption 2, Rockstar’s open world tour de drive which was equal components Grand Theft Horsey and Unhappy Man Dies Slowly Of Tuberculosis, we form 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, celeb, and vapid obsession with fame because it at all times has completed. However the unhinged aspect of GTA look like extra of a backdrop right here than the primary 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 type of an enormous deal, as a result of GTA would not actually do tenderness. Not one of the {couples} in GTA truly like one another. Mates and enterprise companions are at all times one mission away from screwing one another over. Individuals cheat on one another as a matter in fact. As a result of, historically, each GTA character is principally a cartoon. Not an actual particular person in any significant sense: a caricature of a usually egocentric, decadent westerner, prison or in any other case. Even Niko Bellic, GTA 4’s tragic lead whose whole story is about failing to reside the American Dream, is an unapologetic assassin. And that is positive, GTA is GTA.
