I played GTA4 again earlier this year. Actually supports ultrawide on pc which was cool. Anyway, a thing I had forgotten was how bad Nico's (and others') Serbian is. I know the game is old and all that, but holy shit, it's so bad that it was actually difficult to understand what they were trying to say.
That was my exact childhood as well lol, my parents wouldn't buy me gaming consoles. I bought a GameCube off a friend in 3rd grade with lunch money I saved up lol then an Xbox 360 when I was in middle school from cutting lawns
I want minigames and side activities. Pool, darts, tennis, bowling, racing (cars, boats, bikes, on foot), air hockey, vigilante, firefighter, paramedic, base jumping, fight club, social media, tv, drinking, gambling, golf, arm wrestling, dancing Side activities are so underrated but make the game feel so much fuller. We need more stuff to do outside the main story in Singleplayer.
Also I want good fighting again like in GTA 4. Or even San Andreas. GTA 5 hand to hand combat was such a letdown. RDR2 also, but that kinda made sense.
@@a.b.h.i.j.i.t.h shadows consume and merge with each other. there's like no way possible to tell if they're casting shadows or not because the environment's shadows overtake theirs. of course theirs won't show up when they get drowned out by other bigger shadows

It should be obvious as he then zoomed in to a specific place right after. He was in fact talking about the shadows in a well lit area that form by the bounce light not being able to enter, in this case the character that's sitting as he is so close to the ground. Go sit under a tree in daylight and see if you are casting any shadow by the bounce light...the value would depend on the reflective nature of the ground and the intensity of the light.

I legit got nostalgia from you describing your experience with your friends on GTA IV. Shit was so awesome. We used to armor up and hold up the hospital and try to make up random fun routes between enterable(?) buildings.
As someone who started playing GTA 3 when I was like 9, and flexing on all the kids who couldn’t play it because they had lame parents, you’ve just made me realize that them having involved parents was the real flex all along.
My dad works in movies, he believes that art shouldn’t be censored (Ik video games aren’t technically an art) he made researched the effects of gta and decided that it was alright as long as I wasn’t in the club or some shit
Going so hard with a vice theme lighting and background for a 15 minute talking video... the man with high standards. Can't get enough of you and your quality content ❤
That's how I felt about Alan Wake 2 in regard to the road signs and realism. It really immerses you into a twin peaks style world with the desolate and unsettling small towns and woods with an almost vibrant appeal to it. Truly one of my favourite video game worlds to explore and definitely the most realistic even if it is small and broken up into many areas. And that goes without mentioning the dark place.
the grainy hair is most likely what its gonna look like on console. its artifacting from 'fine detail' being rendered at a low resolution like lower than 1440p. you get the same effect on shadows and hair on newer games when running at 1080p.
Go back to church and complaining there !! If u only knew how hard it is to even make this you told be saying thank you cause u live of talking ahit about other peoples hard work
I remember I convinced my parents to let me buy GTAV in high school but my dad insisted on watching me play it at first just to make sure it was ok. Opening level has you murder fifty cops so that was an instant return from him lol. Bought it for myself again once I was in college.
@@JackSather I m Born in 97. Startet playing GTA 3 between 9 or 13 years. My cousin gave me his ps2 when He left for Afghanistan. Played GTA SA then. Showed my mom the Planes and car races and stuff. Never Was an issue My Sister bought GTA 5 for me. In the time between GTA 5 and 6. Finished School got a Job got married and build a House. Its crazy.
@@feevrdreams Its just crazy. There is not a Single day where i dont think about GTA6. I fell face Flat with Cyberpunk 2077 and swore to never preorder again. But i know i sure will. Preorder the biggest Edition of GTA 6
We are 1 year apart and had very similar childhoods I see. Except my parents don't speak or read English, so they had no idea I was playing GTA Vice City at 4 years old. To them, a computer game is a computer game. And you touched on something amazingly true. When you beat a GTA game (any one of them really) there are absolutely 0 reasons left to use your guns unless you want to fight cops. It would be amazing to have a role play element in GTA VI, some kind of activity that requires repetitive tactical choices and evolution. The closest we ever got to that was Vice City Stories where you could grow your own criminal enterprise, getting into various businesses that trigger activities and also conquer territory and build buildings practically changing the city skyline. Picture GTA VI, a story about 2 criminal trying to survive the big bad world. But along the way they get more and more involved with the criminal underground that eventually they run their own operation. And that added responsibility and new set of problems begins to put tension on their relationship and put them at odds. One of them wants to be the next Al Capone, the other wants to be the next Billy the Kid. And they either meet in the middle or they grow so far apart that things come to a violent end between them (because let's face it, we're going to get the choice like we did in GTA V)
I'm also 27 and I can't forget me and my brother playing San Andreas in a hotel's internet room on vacation when we were 8, casually murdering npcs with a chainsaw while other (old) people were staring shocked af. Other kids even gathered around us when we were slaying everyone in Los Santos. Those were the days man
Yup I’m 27 as well but I’m the youngest of my siblings so my cool ass dad bought my older brother the ps2 with GTA 3 when it came out and when he’d get tired of playing it he’d pass the remote off to me and I got to play that and vice city as well but when San Andreas came out it blew everyone away it was ahead of its time!!!
I kinda just want ‘open world heists’ where you can just launch a heist and rob a bank while you’re in the open word, and depending on the bank and whether or not you killed anyone, you could get anywhere from 2-5 stars. And if you die/get busted you just lose the money, and the bank would be on ‘cool down’ afterwards. I think it would be pretty cool.
the only reason thats not in gtao is because of hardware limitations. That, and they want and actual heist to feel like an actual heist, where you have to plan what to do. Then you get the stuff you need for the plan. Then you decide who will be the gunman, the driver, the hacker, or the one who gets the loot. If there are free roam heists in gta6 online itll likely be stuff like hanks waffles and pawn shops, with the biggest free roam score youll be able to do being a small fleeca sized bank.
@@kokdolfnhypothetically if the tech is there, this would still work. You'd have to go find/buy/steal/find equipment and support NPCs to even be successful all in the open world. Forgot to add; you may give a heist an unprepared try and more than likely fail but still be fun to mess around with.
The first half where you explain how you started playing gta was just so good because I can relate so much but yeah dude your amazing at this you get a well deserved subscription.
My GTA wasn't actually a GTA game, it was instead Watch Dogs 1 on the PS3, because my uncle saw that I loved playing it on his PS3 and decided to give it to me. The man my Aiden Pearce was still haunts me to this day.
Man just listening to your story about your childhood with GTA4 I legit forgot what this video was about because I got so sucked in. You're an amazing storyteller Jack! Thanks for the cool videos 😎
they need to bring back limb dismemberment from gta 3d era, this was very satisfying. but this time more realistic and immersive like u can only cause this type of fatal injuries with shotgun,LMGs, AR. minimum 70% enterable buildings with with fully exploreable rooms,much more authentic weapon sounds on all catogories,compact map design, proper vehicle designs closer to real life brands and much more.
My fondest memory of GTA 4 is spending a summer with my buddy finding and mapping all the enterable interiors on the map. Spent so many hours fucking around in them.
My deal with my parents/family about playing GTA games as a kid was that I was able to do free roam, but I was *not* allowed to do any of the missions. This all ended one day when I was ~8-9 and saw my dad playing GTA IV. He was at the strip club, and my dumbass up and said "Ah, I see you're at the strip club." Which took away my ability to play GTA until my parents divorced and my Mom didn't care what video games I played 😂
Something i really want to see is destructible structures. So for example i crash into a house and the house takes actual damage. And totally not for any plane specific activities
9:33 probably didn't see the leaks. In the leaks, the weapons no longer come out of your pockets. You can have it on your back and you can carry a bag to carry guns and more.
6:42 I really hope Vice City feels "lived in". Los Santos felt less like a legit place than Liberty city did, but RDR2 makes it feel like it can be done again.
To be fair GTA V had to also be compatible for last gen hardware at the time (360 and PS3) so they couldn’t unfortunately use next gen hardware (Xbox one and PS4) to its fullest capacity like what they did with RDR2, basically im saying this because they just couldn’t really add that much detail without your 360 or PS3 catching fire, sure they definitely could make a huge map but not a huge map with detail GTA IV on the other hand was a bit smaller and took place well in a city lol, basically not only did they have the space and resources to add detail to NPCs they definitely had to, that way you don’t feel like your in a dead sandbox The map being way more smaller and all of that also had the benefit of leaving the devs able to add a lot more detail in general where as in V again they had to take into consideration that last gen was going to be playing this game to and unfortunately they couldn’t do anything over the top
@@bluscout1857 But they sadly didn't improved much then with the next gen ports. All the vegetation and such was cut due to that, but never was added back. Also it should be noted that GTA V story takes place in a time for exactly being that. Dead place. Look how many houses are there for sale, it's insane and then with Sandy Shores even more. It was supposed to look like an lockdown lol.
IV multiplayer still remains my favorite GTA online experience to this day, way over V's or even SA-MP. So many good memories playing rounds and rounds of Cops n Crooks or Bomb da Base II
Agreed. Really hope they cut down on all the busywork in the online that gets in the way of uninterrupted and imaginative fun. But considering they created an MMO by mistake with V, I fear VI might be riddled with it for maximum retention and spending.
It was incredibly bare bones. And what do you do when you're not given the tools to have fun? You make your own fun, which ironically enough lead to me and my friends having a genuinely so much better time in GTA IV's multiplayer than V's, which always devolved into grinding the same missions over and over and over again to get money.
@elongatedalbatross9318 100 percent agree, that was the fun of those older iv multiplayer modes, the seemingly infinite number of experiences you could have because those limits weren't there.
That Niko Impression made me think I had the game running in the background wtf, that was spot on, I still play GTA IV, it has the best ragdolls, story, characters, physics, combat and I still discover areas I have never seen before like those hidden skateparks.
I have an idea. when you brought up decapitation it made me think "what if you can make your own snuff films to make money in the game?" kind of like a callback to manhunt
You and I are the same age and I had the exact same experience with COD4 going mainstream and any game worth its salt being rated Mature. Finally caved and made 13 the cut off to play mature. However, GTA was still 16. So when GTA V came out when I was 17 as well, I needed my dad to be there to give permission to the store clerk and it was agony waiting for him to get home from work😂
some things im wishful for: -Prison breaks; as opposed to getting shot on the spot for bumping into someone, actually getting arrested and incorporating that into the game, I wonder about this because the trailer opens with Lucia in prison but maybe that's just for the story -more advanced car mods; im a car guy and tbh being able to buy individual performance parts and engine swaps would be sick, but i know that's asking a ton, so even just more mods would be great, specifically truck mods. Gta 5 lets you modify trucks but the mods are built for cars. An example of this is suspension only allows you to lower it, not lift it, and power mods are built for fast acceleration and not off-roading. This also only makes sense with the mudding and Florida hillbilly culture displayed in the trailer. -heists; i know this was stated in the video, but I've been saying this since i touched the game lol. Being able to plan and perform your own heists within the online lobby would be amazing, and to me is almost a must have for gta 6. Im tired of following set goals for each heist and getting owned by guys that have played that exact heist a million times. Let me do it myself. -Cross platform; this is a must have for gta 6 and honestly if they don't add cross platform idk what imma do cuz there's no reason not to its 2024 lmao all in all, im super excited to see what Rockstar makes, because i have confidence that no matter what it is, i wont be disappointed.
The thing I most want in GTA 6 is actually the vehicle interaction you're talking about. We drive so much already, we customize and get attach to our vehicles, so they are an extension of our personality. Imagine setting an arsenal in the trunk, armoring up the body, a turret that pops out of the sunroof. Doesn't even have to be racing or combat oriented, I just want to extract the full potential of something I'm gonna be doing already for hours.
A vehicle of your own making… now you’re talking my language…. wait I got a better one…. custom cup holders for your drinks if you are holding them in the game
As a Native South Floridian I cannot thank you enough for making this video. I had a mini-seizure when the trailer dropped because of how accurate it was, it made me want to live and see the game come out. It made me not think about any bad things going on in my life. When I first found out that GTA6 was going to be take place in Florida, I felt like my world that I grew up in was going to be solidified into a time-piece. I felt like my life had finally found some sort of proper value. I sound crazy and ignorant but I cannot thank this creator enough for expressing the almost biblical accuracies that they had shown in the teaser. And the GTA4 stories and opening made me feel very warm and tender. I've always wanted the world to see what kind of lost-paradise I had to grow up in. The seasonless weather drove me insane as a child, so I'm glad to see this bitter-sweet shitbox of a state be encapsulated once again into the world of contemporary media.
seeing the equivalent of naples be put into a game has brought me unfathomable joy, also hearing that it may be called little haiti (which realistically may be changed) is giving me a almost holy shit we got recognized moment
Im also a Floridian and I wasn’t even all that hype for GTA 6 until I saw the trailer. Of course it’s exaggerated to an extent but I’ve never seen a piece of media portray modern day Florida this accurately…
One thing I want Rockstar to improve on is the combat. I recently replayed Max Payne 3 and the combat in that game was so damn good, I really hope they implement combat similar to that game and improve upon it in every aspect :)
bro your channel is gonna blow up real soon, incredible quality and even little details you add like your room's ambience or your clothes fit whatever youre gonna talk about. keep up the good work
Same experience as you! Only got to play GTA at friends’ house because my family couldn’t afford video games. I’m 28 now & blessed to be able to heal my inner child and play the games I missed out on. I just started GTA online last year haha
I first played GTA at a friend's house too but my mom wouldn't let me get that or Hit and Run. A good thing about having divorced parents though is that they each try to be the favorite so my dad ended up getting me every GTA our local GameStop had
I’m expecting the story and characters to be better in 6 cause it was pretty lacking in that area for me in GTA 5. Improve the character switching dynamic, enhance the gameplay mechanics where they feel so much better and natural, implement new mechanics and ideas, and just give me a huge, detailed world where it feels so lived in and immersive. Oh, and more side missions, please. Those are always great
The number 1 thing I want for GTA 6, is for Single-Player and Multi-Player to be separated from each other, look at the GTA 5 for example, first of all you are forced to download a lot of extra GB`s of Online DLCs but you only want to play SP, none of the online content is available offline either way, also the game`s engine is broken due to the so much assets being shoved into it, physics are literally sometimes broken (Same happens for RDR2, if you load to many mods, the engine breaks, so for example wildlife and some NPCs dont spawn). Also Mod compatibility, if Single-Player is separated, it will be much easier to mod the game, but also R* will not intentionally break them, because of the Online Cheats abuse.
Hey man, you’re big enough now that you won’t see this, but your videos are incredible. I don’t get excited for many uploads, but a Jack Sather vid is always a guarantee for quality takes and relatable experiences. I’m a good few years behind you (my dad had experienced enough 18 rated games before I was conscious so I was gta-less before I was 16 odd) but even then I struggle to find a single game opinion that I disagree with. I’m not a big supporter of echo chambers, but to find someone that shares a lot of their views on games is extremely satisfying. Makes me feel justified when I have a view on a game and then I see a guy with a better constructed argument and a solid fanbase agree with everything I say. What I mean to say, if you see this, is thank you
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older or something but I would much rather see a more grounded, less over the top and darker tone GTA. You could still totally have a few eccentric characters sprinkled in here and there but have an overall serious tone.
@@jimmyhopkins1it might be the best GTA GAME in terms of storytelling then that’s fine but in terms of gameplay and the amount of things you can do, San Andreas takes the cake. GTA San Andreas is the embodiment of what a gta game should be like
I’m getting older as well, I’m 30 now but I don’t want no damn depressing ass gta game. I deal with it already in my life, why would I want to play a depressing game as well. GTA 5 tone was good , some comedy and all. San Andreas was the best tho
I have an older brother so my earliest memory was sneaking into his room when I was like 7 or 8 to play Vice City. There's a certain deodorant that my bro used to use which, when I smell it, brings me right back to those days. So hyped for this! Great video man. Your online memories sound great. I wish I had a group of friends who I could have enjoyed gta online with, but I have fond memories of a group I used to play with in RDR1
I would like a faction system where you have gangs, dirty cops, cartels and gun runners and each faction that you have loyalty to give you unique perks, like being good with dirty cops lowers your star rating by paying them a cut of the heist.
one of the most vivid child hood memories of mine was when my mom let me play gta v i was 9 years old and my older brother got the game on launch day but he got bored of it after a month lol so it was just sitting there on the shelf and so pne day i remember i was taking a bath and i asked my mom if i could play the game when i get out and she gave me a whole lecture about not copying any of the actions in the game or repeating anything they say and thry even made me mute the tv while i was playing lol but after a while they didnt care about the tv being muted
I gotta be honest here, the only video I ever saw from you was the RDR2 online video, and I loved that one. Now that this got recommended, I finally found your channel again and I just wanted to give you some proper positive feedback, I really enjoy this type of content and you definietly don't fail to make me laugh once or twice :) Keep it up man, I'm sure I might come back to the channel in the future.
One thing I'm really excited about is the radio stations. Radio Mirror Park has influenced my real life tastes for almost a decade, to the point that I feel like I wouldn't even be the same person if I hadn't listened to it when I was 13.
Totally agree with the cool things you mentioned, especially about the role play servers and adding more activities to do in the water. Role play I have played plenty of! It feels like you are really living in an active city where every interaction is different. Extremely excited about GTAVI. I love Rockstar, I love the hype, I hope we all get to play and enjoy such a wonderful game!
P.s Your video is totally spot on, agree with literally everything you talked about haha. Especially making the game life like and not to dumb it down for a less mature audience
As a fellow guy who grew up in a God fearing house, I didn't play GTA V until I left home and went to college. I couldn't sneak it because there was only one TV in our house.😂 Can't wait to just be able to go buy the next one and bring it home.
The memories I have of going to an actual 'pc club' with a torn peace of paper that had poorly written _nuttertools_ on it when I was 10 are the ones I hold most dearly.
When i was young and halo first came out there was talk about from behind the pulpit of our church. So when one of the pastors was coming over to our house my mom told my brothers and I to not play halo while he was over and instead just go play Diablo. We just looked at each other and we’re like “ooooookkkk?” We played Diablo instead
Mentioning the detailed interiors and their uses in free roam is exactly what my friends and I have thought about since GTA Online started. Always mentioning all the times something cool happened in gtaiv because of those red doored buildings. Was super disappointed with online and rdr2 having REMOVED interiors they had already made.
Jack is so damn good I wish he uploaded more. Also my first video game was gta 3 when I was 5, late as hell to that game since I was born the same year it was released. Damn the ps2 era in general despite being over by that time I got into it amazed me and I didn't see Ps3/Xbox 360 games until 2010.
Am I glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Dude looks like bearded Messi, is also from Florida, Vice City is based on Miami, Messi plays for Inter Miami. It's so meta it's wild!
Man, the story about your mom is giving me flashbacks. About me and my brothers got our hands on GTA Vice City and San Andreas multiple times, but I had to play it in secret and somehow make it look innocent when our mom happened to step in. My idiot older brother would put on Vice City when we had our grandparents over and everyone was sitting in the living room. He'd just go around beating civilians to death with a hammer, then act all surprised Pikachu face when our mom took it from us.

Side activities are so underrated but make the game feel so much fuller. We need more stuff to do outside the main story in Singleplayer.

That's how I felt about Alan Wake 2 in regard to the road signs and realism. It really immerses you into a twin peaks style world with the desolate and unsettling small towns and woods with an almost vibrant appeal to it. Truly one of my favourite video game worlds to explore and definitely the most realistic even if it is small and broken up into many areas. And that goes without mentioning the dark place.
Same here. Watery was amazing.
the grainy hair is most likely what its gonna look like on console. its artifacting from 'fine detail' being rendered at a low resolution like lower than 1440p. you get the same effect on shadows and hair on newer games when running at 1080p.

I remember I convinced my parents to let me buy GTAV in high school but my dad insisted on watching me play it at first just to make sure it was ok. Opening level has you murder fifty cops so that was an instant return from him lol. Bought it for myself again once I was in college.
Loll that is so brutal!

Man, I am so happy your channel is doing well! I watched that Red Dead video when you had like 20k subs!
We are 1 year apart and had very similar childhoods I see. Except my parents don't speak or read English, so they had no idea I was playing GTA Vice City at 4 years old. To them, a computer game is a computer game.
And you touched on something amazingly true. When you beat a GTA game (any one of them really) there are absolutely 0 reasons left to use your guns unless you want to fight cops.
It would be amazing to have a role play element in GTA VI, some kind of activity that requires repetitive tactical choices and evolution. The closest we ever got to that was Vice City Stories where you could grow your own criminal enterprise, getting into various businesses that trigger activities and also conquer territory and build buildings practically changing the city skyline.
Picture GTA VI, a story about 2 criminal trying to survive the big bad world. But along the way they get more and more involved with the criminal underground that eventually they run their own operation. And that added responsibility and new set of problems begins to put tension on their relationship and put them at odds. One of them wants to be the next Al Capone, the other wants to be the next Billy the Kid. And they either meet in the middle or they grow so far apart that things come to a violent end between them (because let's face it, we're going to get the choice like we did in GTA V)
Playing gta when your 4 is crazy
I'm also 27 and I can't forget me and my brother playing San Andreas in a hotel's internet room on vacation when we were 8, casually murdering npcs with a chainsaw while other (old) people were staring shocked af. Other kids even gathered around us when we were slaying everyone in Los Santos. Those were the days man
I literally lived the same experience with my cousin in a Turkish hotel
@@boilaknezzi8974 Damn man mine was in Greece
Yup I’m 27 as well but I’m the youngest of my siblings so my cool ass dad bought my older brother the ps2 with GTA 3 when it came out and when he’d get tired of playing it he’d pass the remote off to me and I got to play that and vice city as well but when San Andreas came out it blew everyone away it was ahead of its time!!!
@@PookieLoc It really was!
I kinda just want ‘open world heists’ where you can just launch a heist and rob a bank while you’re in the open word, and depending on the bank and whether or not you killed anyone, you could get anywhere from 2-5 stars. And if you die/get busted you just lose the money, and the bank would be on ‘cool down’ afterwards. I think it would be pretty cool.
Kind of like evolved gas stations
the only reason thats not in gtao is because of hardware limitations. That, and they want and actual heist to feel like an actual heist, where you have to plan what to do. Then you get the stuff you need for the plan. Then you decide who will be the gunman, the driver, the hacker, or the one who gets the loot. If there are free roam heists in gta6 online itll likely be stuff like hanks waffles and pawn shops, with the biggest free roam score youll be able to do being a small fleeca sized bank.
@@kokdolfnhypothetically if the tech is there, this would still work. You'd have to go find/buy/steal/find equipment and support NPCs to even be successful all in the open world. Forgot to add; you may give a heist an unprepared try and more than likely fail but still be fun to mess around with.
The first half where you explain how you started playing gta was just so good because I can relate so much but yeah dude your amazing at this you get a well deserved subscription.
My GTA wasn't actually a GTA game, it was instead Watch Dogs 1 on the PS3, because my uncle saw that I loved playing it on his PS3 and decided to give it to me. The man my Aiden Pearce was still haunts me to this day.
Man just listening to your story about your childhood with GTA4 I legit forgot what this video was about because I got so sucked in. You're an amazing storyteller Jack! Thanks for the cool videos 😎
GTA V was my first one since I grew up in a strict household, played it for the first time in my 20's, multiplayer with friends was so much fun.
they need to bring back limb dismemberment from gta 3d era, this was very satisfying. but this time more realistic and immersive like u can only cause this type of fatal injuries with shotgun,LMGs, AR. minimum 70% enterable buildings with with fully exploreable rooms,much more authentic weapon sounds on all catogories,compact map design, proper vehicle designs closer to real life brands and much more.
"I remember being very surprised at how grey everything was" me every time I land back in NYC from traveling.
My fondest memory of GTA 4 is spending a summer with my buddy finding and mapping all the enterable interiors on the map. Spent so many hours fucking around in them.
My deal with my parents/family about playing GTA games as a kid was that I was able to do free roam, but I was *not* allowed to do any of the missions.
This all ended one day when I was ~8-9 and saw my dad playing GTA IV. He was at the strip club, and my dumbass up and said "Ah, I see you're at the strip club." Which took away my ability to play GTA until my parents divorced and my Mom didn't care what video games I played 😂
Something i really want to see is destructible structures. So for example i crash into a house and the house takes actual damage. And totally not for any plane specific activities
They should add that feature when we get another game set in Liberty City
that definitely isnt happening
@@dudemp4
Ya that would be lag like hell. Especially online
9:33 probably didn't see the leaks. In the leaks, the weapons no longer come out of your pockets. You can have it on your back and you can carry a bag to carry guns and more.
6:42 I really hope Vice City feels "lived in". Los Santos felt less like a legit place than Liberty city did, but RDR2 makes it feel like it can be done again.
As I was recording that rdr2 stuff I thought the same thing. That beach shot in the trailer gives a bit of hope thinking that’s what they’ll do
To be fair GTA V had to also be compatible for last gen hardware at the time (360 and PS3) so they couldn’t unfortunately use next gen hardware (Xbox one and PS4) to its fullest capacity like what they did with RDR2, basically im saying this because they just couldn’t really add that much detail without your 360 or PS3 catching fire, sure they definitely could make a huge map but not a huge map with detail
GTA IV on the other hand was a bit smaller and took place well in a city lol, basically not only did they have the space and resources to add detail to NPCs they definitely had to, that way you don’t feel like your in a dead sandbox
The map being way more smaller and all of that also had the benefit of leaving the devs able to add a lot more detail in general where as in V again they had to take into consideration that last gen was going to be playing this game to and unfortunately they couldn’t do anything over the top
@@bluscout1857I think most people forget that GTAV was made for 360/PS3
@@bluscout1857 But they sadly didn't improved much then with the next gen ports. All the vegetation and such was cut due to that, but never was added back. Also it should be noted that GTA V story takes place in a time for exactly being that. Dead place. Look how many houses are there for sale, it's insane and then with Sandy Shores even more. It was supposed to look like an lockdown lol.
It can’t be done. The houser brothers have left rockstar and it was them that made it so good
IV multiplayer still remains my favorite GTA online experience to this day, way over V's or even SA-MP. So many good memories playing rounds and rounds of Cops n Crooks or Bomb da Base II
Agreed. Really hope they cut down on all the busywork in the online that gets in the way of uninterrupted and imaginative fun.
But considering they created an MMO by mistake with V, I fear VI might be riddled with it for maximum retention and spending.
It was incredibly bare bones. And what do you do when you're not given the tools to have fun? You make your own fun, which ironically enough lead to me and my friends having a genuinely so much better time in GTA IV's multiplayer than V's, which always devolved into grinding the same missions over and over and over again to get money.
@@KIager all about making those shark card sales for the next decade, or two...
@elongatedalbatross9318 100 percent agree, that was the fun of those older iv multiplayer modes, the seemingly infinite number of experiences you could have because those limits weren't there.
Modders ruined GTA Online... I'm assuming Rockstar will continue using P2P architecture because money.
That Niko Impression made me think I had the game running in the background wtf, that was spot on, I still play GTA IV, it has the best ragdolls, story, characters, physics, combat and I still discover areas I have never seen before like those hidden skateparks.
I have an idea. when you brought up decapitation it made me think "what if you can make your own snuff films to make money in the game?" kind of like a callback to manhunt
The GTAIV nostalgia, those were the days.
You and I are the same age and I had the exact same experience with COD4 going mainstream and any game worth its salt being rated Mature. Finally caved and made 13 the cut off to play mature. However, GTA was still 16.
So when GTA V came out when I was 17 as well, I needed my dad to be there to give permission to the store clerk and it was agony waiting for him to get home from work😂
Bro I totally remember that rule! the parents permission at a gamestop 😂
I just wanted to say that thumbnail is incredibly well-lit. Also the set dressing. The vibe is on point
some things im wishful for:
-Prison breaks; as opposed to getting shot on the spot for bumping into someone, actually getting arrested and incorporating that into the game, I wonder about this because the trailer opens with Lucia in prison but maybe that's just for the story
-more advanced car mods; im a car guy and tbh being able to buy individual performance parts and engine swaps would be sick, but i know that's asking a ton, so even just more mods would be great, specifically truck mods. Gta 5 lets you modify trucks but the mods are built for cars. An example of this is suspension only allows you to lower it, not lift it, and power mods are built for fast acceleration and not off-roading. This also only makes sense with the mudding and Florida hillbilly culture displayed in the trailer.
-heists; i know this was stated in the video, but I've been saying this since i touched the game lol. Being able to plan and perform your own heists within the online lobby would be amazing, and to me is almost a must have for gta 6. Im tired of following set goals for each heist and getting owned by guys that have played that exact heist a million times. Let me do it myself.
-Cross platform; this is a must have for gta 6 and honestly if they don't add cross platform idk what imma do cuz there's no reason not to its 2024 lmao
all in all, im super excited to see what Rockstar makes, because i have confidence that no matter what it is, i wont be disappointed.
The thing I most want in GTA 6 is actually the vehicle interaction you're talking about.
We drive so much already, we customize and get attach to our vehicles, so they are an extension of our personality.
Imagine setting an arsenal in the trunk, armoring up the body, a turret that pops out of the sunroof.
Doesn't even have to be racing or combat oriented, I just want to extract the full potential of something I'm gonna be doing already for hours.
A vehicle of your own making… now you’re talking my language…. wait I got a better one…. custom cup holders for your drinks if you are holding them in the game
@@jackthorton10 dude imagine customizing the inside, putting a bunch of trinkets...
i cal tell you was bord after 2005 talking about a turret that pops out the sunroof 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Native South Floridian I cannot thank you enough for making this video. I had a mini-seizure when the trailer dropped because of how accurate it was, it made me want to live and see the game come out. It made me not think about any bad things going on in my life. When I first found out that GTA6 was going to be take place in Florida, I felt like my world that I grew up in was going to be solidified into a time-piece. I felt like my life had finally found some sort of proper value. I sound crazy and ignorant but I cannot thank this creator enough for expressing the almost biblical accuracies that they had shown in the teaser. And the GTA4 stories and opening made me feel very warm and tender. I've always wanted the world to see what kind of lost-paradise I had to grow up in. The seasonless weather drove me insane as a child, so I'm glad to see this bitter-sweet shitbox of a state be encapsulated once again into the world of contemporary media.
Vice City after all… is still worth 8Karat gold these days ;)
seeing the equivalent of naples be put into a game has brought me unfathomable joy, also hearing that it may be called little haiti (which realistically may be changed) is giving me a almost holy shit we got recognized moment
Exactly this, holy shit. You put my feelings to words exactly
@@summersolstice99 this train of thought drives me insane sometimes so im really glad im not the only one lol
Im also a Floridian and I wasn’t even all that hype for GTA 6 until I saw the trailer. Of course it’s exaggerated to an extent but I’ve never seen a piece of media portray modern day Florida this accurately…
I can see social media playing a huge part of the game in the same way that criminals like Bonnie and Clyde were glamorised by the press
being the youngest and always have to watch your older siblings play without sharing is canon
My dream GTA 6 is where the quantity of polygons in the Vanilla Unicorn quadruples but that's just me.
Man of gta culture
Cyberpunk video (amazing) and then this not long after?? So happy he’s full time now, so excited to have more Jack to watch.
WHY ARE THERE GUNS ON HIS DESK
Watched 100 GTA6 videos and you're the first one I subbed. Good stuff Bro.
I'm honestly really glad you went full time youtube. I love your videos.
Ty 🥹
"My brother was playing and I was watching... again" that's so relatable 😂 love the videos jack
its nice to see that chinatown wars is actually played bc i think its one of the most forgotten gta games ever
The gta4 pistol sound is why I always find the heavy pistol early game. Feels way more satisfying to shoot with the better audio
One thing I want Rockstar to improve on is the combat. I recently replayed Max Payne 3 and the combat in that game was so damn good, I really hope they implement combat similar to that game and improve upon it in every aspect :)
The added layer of fun of trying to evade getting caught for money glitches in those days was amazing.
Bruh! Chinatown wars on the DS was the only GTA I played growing up, until I got my hands on GTA3 on the PC. What a crazy childhood we had
bro your channel is gonna blow up real soon, incredible quality and even little details you add like your room's ambience or your clothes fit whatever youre gonna talk about. keep up the good work
finally we can get 2 videos a month from jack, so happy you are now full time, also they are so good man
2 a month is full time??
i think so@@EpicWarrior131
I really love you idea for GTAVI’s online mode, I really agree with you ideas 🔥
Same experience as you! Only got to play GTA at friends’ house because my family couldn’t afford video games. I’m 28 now & blessed to be able to heal my inner child and play the games I missed out on. I just started GTA online last year haha
7:25 absolutely perfect Niko impression
7:23
That Niko impression was really good
bro you nailed the Niko Belic's voice lmaoo
This makes me feel old. My first GTA was GTA 1. That was quite a new gaming experience back then
Dude, that "eye sore of I4" line was perfect, you're killing it man! Love from the old Jax days brother
I first played GTA at a friend's house too but my mom wouldn't let me get that or Hit and Run. A good thing about having divorced parents though is that they each try to be the favorite so my dad ended up getting me every GTA our local GameStop had
The trailer literally looks like a promo for those Road/Neighborhood/Customer Wars shows. GTA can no longer hold a parody to today's world.
I’m expecting the story and characters to be better in 6 cause it was pretty lacking in that area for me in GTA 5. Improve the character switching dynamic, enhance the gameplay mechanics where they feel so much better and natural, implement new mechanics and ideas, and just give me a huge, detailed world where it feels so lived in and immersive. Oh, and more side missions, please. Those are always great
It's funny how similar my childhood experience was to yours. I'm 26 and GTA IV was my first as well.
Your description is almost identical to what me and my friends did on GTA IV. Crazy how things used to spread without much internet influence.
Ikr, I had full confidence my fellow GTA4 players were doing the same damn thing haha
The number 1 thing I want for GTA 6, is for Single-Player and Multi-Player to be separated from each other, look at the GTA 5 for example, first of all you are forced to download a lot of extra GB`s of Online DLCs but you only want to play SP, none of the online content is available offline either way, also the game`s engine is broken due to the so much assets being shoved into it, physics are literally sometimes broken (Same happens for RDR2, if you load to many mods, the engine breaks, so for example wildlife and some NPCs dont spawn).
Also Mod compatibility, if Single-Player is separated, it will be much easier to mod the game, but also R* will not intentionally break them, because of the Online Cheats abuse.
Cant wait to explore the map, find Easter eggs ect...
This is an excellent video once again Jack! Rockstar should definitely see this as helpful tips haha
Thank you!!
Hey man, you’re big enough now that you won’t see this, but your videos are incredible. I don’t get excited for many uploads, but a Jack Sather vid is always a guarantee for quality takes and relatable experiences. I’m a good few years behind you (my dad had experienced enough 18 rated games before I was conscious so I was gta-less before I was 16 odd) but even then I struggle to find a single game opinion that I disagree with. I’m not a big supporter of echo chambers, but to find someone that shares a lot of their views on games is extremely satisfying. Makes me feel justified when I have a view on a game and then I see a guy with a better constructed argument and a solid fanbase agree with everything I say. What I mean to say, if you see this, is thank you
Saw this, thanks brother
ngl that free roam heist idea is actually so fire
Thank god you brought up the detailed interior of buildings being needed
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older or something but I would much rather see a more grounded, less over the top and darker tone GTA. You could still totally have a few eccentric characters sprinkled in here and there but have an overall serious tone.
Gta 4 was reasonably grounded and dark in my mind its the best gta game by a mile
Yeah I hope they draw some inspiration from LA Noir. That game had an incredibly memorable atmosphere.
Yeah I was kinda hoping for this. Doesn't seem to be the trailer's vibe at all, though
@@jimmyhopkins1it might be the best GTA GAME in terms of storytelling then that’s fine but in terms of gameplay and the amount of things you can do, San Andreas takes the cake. GTA San Andreas is the embodiment of what a gta game should be like
I’m getting older as well, I’m 30 now but I don’t want no damn depressing ass gta game. I deal with it already in my life, why would I want to play a depressing game as well. GTA 5 tone was good , some comedy and all. San Andreas was the best tho
I have an older brother so my earliest memory was sneaking into his room when I was like 7 or 8 to play Vice City. There's a certain deodorant that my bro used to use which, when I smell it, brings me right back to those days. So hyped for this! Great video man. Your online memories sound great. I wish I had a group of friends who I could have enjoyed gta online with, but I have fond memories of a group I used to play with in RDR1
I would like a faction system where you have gangs, dirty cops, cartels and gun runners and each faction that you have loyalty to give you unique perks, like being good with dirty cops lowers your star rating by paying them a cut of the heist.
one of the most vivid child hood memories of mine was when my mom let me play gta v
i was 9 years old and my older brother got the game on launch day but he got bored of it after a month lol so it was just sitting there on the shelf and so pne day i remember i was taking a bath and i asked my mom if i could play the game when i get out and she gave me a whole lecture about not copying any of the actions in the game or repeating anything they say and thry even made me mute the tv while i was playing lol but after a while they didnt care about the tv being muted
I gotta be honest here, the only video I ever saw from you was the RDR2 online video, and I loved that one.
Now that this got recommended, I finally found your channel again and I just wanted to give you some proper positive feedback,
I really enjoy this type of content and you definietly don't fail to make me laugh once or twice :)
Keep it up man, I'm sure I might come back to the channel in the future.
One thing I'm really excited about is the radio stations. Radio Mirror Park has influenced my real life tastes for almost a decade, to the point that I feel like I wouldn't even be the same person if I hadn't listened to it when I was 13.
Totally agree with the cool things you mentioned, especially about the role play servers and adding more activities to do in the water. Role play I have played plenty of! It feels like you are really living in an active city where every interaction is different. Extremely excited about GTAVI. I love Rockstar, I love the hype, I hope we all get to play and enjoy such a wonderful game!
P.s Your video is totally spot on, agree with literally everything you talked about haha. Especially making the game life like and not to dumb it down for a less mature audience
What an exciting time to be alive to be able to see at least one trailer of GTA 6
As a fellow guy who grew up in a God fearing house, I didn't play GTA V until I left home and went to college. I couldn't sneak it because there was only one TV in our house.😂
Can't wait to just be able to go buy the next one and bring it home.
You know you're old when someone says they had to ask their mom to play GTA V 👴
You explaining grabbing a sultan rs and heading to the airport brought back soooooo many memories man I’m gonna cry 😭🤣😭🤣
I was 16 when I got GTA1, I own every other Gta game and I'll be 43 years old when Gta 6 comes
Holy shit the Niko impression, I thought he overlayed an actual clip from the game 😅
The memories I have of going to an actual 'pc club' with a torn peace of paper that had poorly written _nuttertools_ on it when I was 10 are the ones I hold most dearly.
When i was young and halo first came out there was talk about from behind the pulpit of our church. So when one of the pastors was coming over to our house my mom told my brothers and I to not play halo while he was over and instead just go play Diablo. We just looked at each other and we’re like “ooooookkkk?” We played Diablo instead
Gta 4 and gta 5 were so fun and i had a great time playing them. So i cant wait to drive around Vice City and enjoy life
Mentioning the detailed interiors and their uses in free roam is exactly what my friends and I have thought about since GTA Online started.
Always mentioning all the times something cool happened in gtaiv because of those red doored buildings.
Was super disappointed with online and rdr2 having REMOVED interiors they had already made.
Jack is so damn good I wish he uploaded more.
Also my first video game was gta 3 when I was 5, late as hell to that game since I was born the same year it was released. Damn the ps2 era in general despite being over by that time I got into it amazed me and I didn't see Ps3/Xbox 360 games until 2010.
This dude looks like Messi wth 💀
Am I glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.
Dude looks like bearded Messi, is also from Florida, Vice City is based on Miami, Messi plays for Inter Miami. It's so meta it's wild!
your Niko impression just fucking flash banged me.
it was that good.
7:39 excellent Johnny Cash reference there.
I seriously can’t wait, someone freeze me and wake me up in 2025
Man, the story about your mom is giving me flashbacks. About me and my brothers got our hands on GTA Vice City and San Andreas multiple times, but I had to play it in secret and somehow make it look innocent when our mom happened to step in. My idiot older brother would put on Vice City when we had our grandparents over and everyone was sitting in the living room. He'd just go around beating civilians to death with a hammer, then act all surprised Pikachu face when our mom took it from us.
That Niko impression got me fucked up keep doing it
Your videos are such an inspiration to me Jack! I'm always blown away at the production value for a RUclips video!
Impromptu heists would be epic, like robbing a convivence store in online, but with much more layers.
Telling our parents we’d only play multiplayer is a universal experience
Was waiting for jack's video on Gta 6 This guy makes me stop doing whatever im doing only to see his videos his opinion is 100/100
Tyty
It's a good day when Jack uploads!
