It was sure to occur, actually. Following Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar’s open world tour de pressure which was equal components Grand Theft Horsey and Sad Man Dies Slowly Of Tuberculosis, we form of anticipated Grand Theft Auto to skew a bit extra grown up for its subsequent outing. And from the appears to be like of the trailer, it appears to be like like that expectation has held up:
That’s to not say the trailer is devoid of humour. Far from it. GTA 6 is clearly sending up America’s tradition of extra, superstar, and vapid obsession with fame because it at all times has completed. But the unhinged aspect of GTA look like extra of a backdrop right here than the principle occasion. The major story, apparently regarding a Bonnie and Clyde partnership of lovers who go round robbing locations, is introduced within the trailer as having some nuance and depth. An understated efficiency from the protagonists, and even some tenderness between them.
That’s form of an enormous deal, as a result of GTA would not actually do tenderness. None of the {couples} in GTA really like one another. Friends and enterprise companions are at all times one mission away from screwing one another over. People cheat on one another as a matter in fact. Because, historically, each GTA character is principally a cartoon. Not an actual individual in any significant sense: a caricature of a sometimes egocentric, decadent westerner, legal or in any other case. Even Niko Bellic, GTA 4’s tragic lead whose complete story is about failing to reside the American Dream, is an unapologetic assassin. And that is positive, GTA is GTA.
