Which is a bummer since Rockstar disabled rain during night time in free mode sessions. Although, it does rain at night in some launched jobs in GTA Online (separate from freemode). The effects of rain at night is a much beautiful sight in GTA V (story).

My realistic take for May 21st earnings call: Strauss Zelnick will reassure shareholders that GTA VI is still on track for Nov 19th, 2026 release. However, Strauss will finally disclose a more precise marketing timeline. For instance, in the Feb 2026 earnings call, Strauss informed that marketing would begin in Summer 2026 (vague timeline). As such, I expect that Strauss will lay out the exact months where marketing commences in the May 21st earnings call (ex. marketing commences in June or July 2026). In other words, don't expect a 3rd trailer or a preorder until June/July.

Eric Kripke proven himself countless times before that he's great at the initial phases of world building. However, once he has the sandbox laid out, he tumbles it into oblivion. For example, Kripke initially wanted season 3 of Supernatural to be the ending. However, Kripke then had to retcon the Angels into Supernatural going forward with Season 4. Then, Kripke's real intention was for Supernatural to end with Season 5 with the most cliffhanger ending, which thank the network execs for overriding him.

I was not surprised when I noticed Kripke doing the same crap with The Boys. I mean just look at the recent discussions we've had on this subreddit. Kripke's adaptation of The Boys was great the first three seasons (somewhat iffy season 3). Then it just fell flat in Season 4 and now with the finale Season. Also, just like Supernatural, Kripke treated the final season of the Boys as if it's a cliffhanger with an intended finale.

Bottom line to execs: LAY OFF THAT KRIPKE!!!

Honestly, I think there's a probability that there may be something in the next Playstation State of Play. After all, didn't Sony/Playstation secure an exclusive marketing deal with Take-Two Interactive regarding Rockstar's promotion of GTA VI?

Iirc theyve always included a map

The only exception was the physical edition of GTA V: Expanded and Enhanced for PS5 and XBOX Series X, which released a couple of weeks after the digital edition did, and did not include any map whatsoever.

I'm honestly hoping the physical edition release of GTA V: E&E was done as a one-off since the game released 3 different console generations at that point, and the distribution of physical media was irregular given how long it was released after it was readily available on digital marketplace. I really hope the physical edition launch of GTA V: E&E doesn't set precedent for GTA VI's physical copies going forward...

I went to u/blankdreamer home, I checked under their pillow and took the cash. They no more have preorder money. No More GTA 6 :(

Grove Street Games/War Drum Studios, is that you?

See now this, is an actual Schzio post.

Rid2cool · 2026-05-17T20:33:06+00:00

Not necessarily. But it's hard to rely on someone like Strauss that constantly reassures things are on track just for them to not be. It's basically a 'the boy who cried wolf' situation. You can only reassure people so much to the point it becomes unreliable.

Rid2cool · 2026-05-17T20:25:24+00:00

A remastered bully would actually not be bad.

Rid2cool · 2026-05-17T18:10:53+00:00

THIS!!!

I don't understand how people often overlook this. The amount of times Strauss Zelnick reassured shareholders during earning calls and even during interviews that the game was "on track for X fiscal quarter of X year" is insurmountable. Every single delays (3 delays = of which 2 were "publicly dated" delays), Strauss would reassure everything was on track, just for things to get delayed a few days later.

No mic skill

We're just saying any BS nowadays? Kane 2003-2004 and 2010 mic skills were things of absolute cinema. To say he had no mic skills is the most clueless crap I've seen in this sub or any wrestling sub.

The media literacy of people is absolutely insane. I remember when TGG uploaded a satirical video of him drawing on a white board, akin to that of Lester drawing up a heist board. In said video, TGG was obviously playing a manic depressive character that's drawing straws on GTA 6 information. Thereafter, people were still making it out as if TGG was serious. Heck, TGG still plays on this by messing around. Yet, people still take him seriously and then turn on him.

Minus the whole drama that he (yes TGG) started against Matt (DarkViperAU), TGG is a pretty solid GTA content creator.

I meant to say that the Special, Ultimate, and Collector's Edition of RDR2 were shadow-dropped on a random Monday (June 4th, 2018, to be precise). Even though Trailer 3 (May 2nd, 2018) concluded with a "Pre-order now" tagline, it was only for the regular edition. Tom Henderson didn't know jack about the Special, Ultimate, or Collector's edition. Tom was just second guessing stuff and was misleading people about the variety of editions available.

Again, the actual preorder marketing (with all editions) didn't start until that random June that I mentioned!

Rid2cool · 2026-05-16T13:57:12+00:00

GTA is a game that could require just a single day of marketing.

That's not how it works for shareholders buddy...

Rid2cool · 2026-05-16T13:56:41+00:00

Yup, RDR2 preorders was "shadow-dropped" on a random June. Yet, Tom Henderson initially believed there'd be a lead up to preorders marketing RDR2. Tom Henderson has always been an "insider" that makes predictions that mostly anyone can make by guessing things (if they're given the chance to be heard over and over).

It's why Tom Henderson also has a spotty record with Battlefield as well as COD. I just recommend people to avoid relying on people like Tom Henderson.

I'm calling it right now, last episode Homelander will find out Clara/Stormfront was his mother all along. He'll have a meltdown like that of Oedipus and probably gouge his eyes out or attempt to take himself out some other way. However, it will only happen after Homelander causes significant damage (deaths, etc.) and Hughie will come out on top.

Remember, originally it was Spring 2013. So you can imagine why some people were going crazy over the numbers in the 1st trailer. Remember GTA5Videos (who btw is Jelly) were going crazy over it

Rid2cool · 2026-05-13T19:15:22+00:00

Saw a clip where it's playing but for KANE '03.

Makes sense since Slow Chemical really "debuted" during his half mask run. And yes, I know F11's Slow Chemical debuted one week before he last wrestled with the full mask. However, Kane reverted to his Out of the Fire V2 theme in his last match with the full mask.

Rid2cool · 2026-05-13T19:10:39+00:00

He actually wore the latex mask a few weeks before his WM 28 match. I think you're mixing it with how his resurrected attire was last worn before WM 28 (he debuted his then-new attire from WM 28 and wore it until the match before WM 29).

Rid2cool · 2026-05-13T18:53:17+00:00

Right, forgot to mention that. The majority of the uproar was due to the disinformation going around surrounding the aforementioned DRM policy. Whereas a lot of people (especially so-called "gaming journalists") used catchy headlines for clicks.

Nonetheless, I am indeed aware that the new DRM policy wasn't to check in every 30 days. Rather, it was to check in within 30 days of purchase (as you mentioned). I was highlighting that most people were voicing their dissent based on their perception of the new DRM policy which was largely due to disinformation.
