Xbox Wishlist reaction

Redditors in the GTA 6 Subreddit have been reacting to the game being made available to Wishlist on Xbox.

beezy604 said: "I wonder why it took so long for Xbox to get it after PlayStation, it's been a month."

DrehLives said: "It lets me download and launch it but then it tells me I don't own the game."

ericmcdonough0 said: "Can't wait to preorder."

itzznotac said: "Took long enough."

BPinkInYourArea150 said: "If you have the Xbox app you can 'download' 300MB of whatever it is onto your Xbox. Obviously not the actual game but looks pretty cool sitting there in the list of your games!!"

Game finally available to Wishlist on Xbox - and startup screen looks great

GTA 6 is finally available to Wishlist on Xbox and its current startup screen looks fantastic.

The game has been available to Wishlist on PS Store for a number of weeks now and it's only just made its way over to Xbox.

X / Twitter account @GTAonlineNews posted a video of what happens when trying to open the placeholder file.

The artwork for the game appears full screen before reverting the player back to the previous screen.

The startup screen is of course subject to change but it gives a glimpse of what to expect when starting up GTA 6 for the first time.

from GTA6

Redditors have been discussing how GTA 6 will start given that both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 start in Winter.

Kamil210s sparked the discussion in the GTA 6 Subreddit.

AnotherManOfEden said: "It's South Florida, so Winter just means 'really pleasant weather'."

ChefCiege said: "Hurricane season maybe? Show off dynamic weather systems off the bat."

SweetToot said: "Liberty City in Winter would be look like noir movie."

GTA 5 trio all want to return in Rockstar's new game

The actors behind Franklin, Michael and Trevor in GTA 5 have all said they would want to return in GTA 6.

Shawn Fonteno, Ned Luke and Steven Ogg appeared together at Comic Con Brussels.

In a Q&A session, the trio was asked if they would be willing to appear in DLC for GTA 6 where their characters would come back together and Luke said: "That would be great. The final score. That would be cool."

Fonteno chipped in: "So y'all campaign that. One last score."

Ogg added: "Send in your postcards for one last score."

Game's graphics will not be the best in gaming claim fans

from GTA6

Reviews, videos and images for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach are out (including indy100's review in progress) and one screenshot in particular has been circulating online showing how detailed its main character Sam, played by Norman Reedus, is.

Redditor Fullet7 reposted it in the GTA 6 Subreddit and asked: "Do you think GTA 6 will have better graphics than Death Stranding 2?"

Others have been commenting with their thoughts and they're pretty unanimous in their verdicts.

Lystyz said: "No, GTA 6 is more ambitious with its vast open world and mechanics so don't expect photorealistic graphics like Death Stranding 2."

marckh said: "Overall I think Death Stranding 2 will achieve a level of graphical fidelity that GTA 6 won't match, like the character rendering, although even in that regard I think the hair rendering in GTA 6 is the best we've ever seen in gaming. Outside of that I think with all the assets, props, NPCs, textures, buildings, vehicles and the reflections makes GTA 6 a more technically advanced game but Death Stranding 2 looks more graphically detailed due to its terrain requiring less processing power in comparison."

Wuu-N said: "Death Stranding is actively trying to reach that photorealistic cinematic style which is heightened by using TV and film actors in major roles, Rockstar's graphics are very realistic but they're going for a different thing."

Eekaji said: "I think it will be close but I suspect Death Stranding will have overall better graphics. I think with GTA 6 being open world, it's almost impossible to have the level of photorealism I'm sure they're striving for."

ScottRans0m said: "Absolutely no chance."

Professional_Cold771 said: "Just another Rockstar attention to detail, not a surprise."

none484839 said: "Will be awesome if they are functional."

Huge Vice City easter egg 'found' online

from GTA6

A Redditor has claimed Tommy Vercetti's mansion from Vice City has been spotted in the first GTA 6 trailer.

One-Calligrapher4869 posted a screenshot claiming this in the GTA 6 Subreddit but it has divided opinion in the comments.

SuspectKnown9655 said: "Almost no way there isn't gonna be a reference to Tommy or his mansion."

pen15_club_admin said: "Can't see s***."

ryanagainagain said: "I hope there's a s*** load of Easter eggs from Vice City!"
