360 Magazine: Can Rockstar deliver GTA V in 2012? Rumours surrounding Rockstar’s potential mega-hit GTA V have once again surfaced, as 2012 is referred to by analysts and experts as the likeliest release date.
Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.
I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.
Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.
What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.
Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.
Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.
I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.
Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.
I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
Another night of Fortnite with the boys then?
I’ve never played Fortnite GTAV or CoD BO7 but I do own GTAV for PS4/5 because I got them cheap.
What exactly are we not getting?
Did we not just have a 2025 filled with nice games like...
Silksong, Doom TDA, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Split Fiction, Hades 2, DK Bananza, and so many more?
Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.
My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.
To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.
Popsicle, I actually think we're getting more great games because of the slop. Developers are seeing that people aren't happy and taking advantage of big AAA studios not delivering for people.
Another PS3 Exclusive
could come out next year but then again rockstar would have there hands full at the moment they were working on agent maxpayne 3 so anything could happen
"the below video that was recently released gives a tantalising glimpse at what a new GTA could look like."
No thats GTA 4 running the new iCEnhancer 1.2 mod we have that now.
pc exclusive please... consoles are far too weak with tiny ram thats why gta 4 didn't look like this on pc.

lol even bulletstorm pc looks better than anything on consoles including gears of war 3 and uc3 so what does that tell you ? consoles have been outdated since 2006 when core 2 duo/quad and extreme cpus launched as well as the geforce 8 series gpus lol an 8800gt has more memory bandwidth graphics processing power and ram than your ENTIRE consoles and its not even the most powerful gpu of 2006. a core 2 duo(not even extreme or quad) can successfully emulate ps2 using software rendering at incredible speed and even crank up resolution to 1080p and STILL run and full speed(60fps) yet teh cell cannot even emulate its predecessor lol the ps3s with backwards compatability have the ps2s emotion engine in built they where later removed to save costs. so what does that tell you ? core 2 do> ps3 cell its only in video editing and transcoding(which the cell was designed for) that the cell can beat a core 2 duo but even with that a h a core 2 quad(not even the never i3.15,i7 nehalem or sandybridge) will destroy it. why else do you think apple took intel core 2 duo cpus over the cell and told IBM to go to hell? you think steve jobs is stupid ? look what hes done with apple lol hes obviously a very intelligent man. even the cells in the roadrunner super computers cannot be compared to the ps3 version as they are VASTLY superior in every way to the ones you have in your ps3. even the vastly superior cells where not enough to compete against amd and intel in the sever market so ibm had to come up with power6 and now the new power7 cpu. even toshiba had to replace spes with video transcoding hardware to boost performance as the spes simply weren't cutting it.
