Netflix presented the hugely anticipated GTA 6: the most expensive video game of all time may even exceed expectations

The answer to this unreal-sounding question was found on Netflix, which ended a moment ago in the event. There, it was presented exclusively to subscribers of the streaming service, what will be perhaps the most anticipated video game of all time, i.e Grand Theft Auto VI.

And it’s going to be amazingly great.

Netflix the event was talked about in advance as one of the most important media events of the year.

No game has received similar treatment before, and Netflix faltered in front of a huge crowd. GTA 6 -video required numerous viewing retries to work.

When the video finally started rolling, it revealed 27 minutes of the open-world action-adventure game. Developed by American Rockstar Games GTA 6 has previously been featured in two YouTube trailers, but this was the first time it was seen in action.

A Netflix video introduced the open-world crime game coming to PS5 and Xbox Series consoles on November 19 from many angles. The video was said to run on the base PS5 model and not the more powerful PS5 Pro, which was hard to believe given the graphical brilliance.

GTAThe appeal of the series has always been that through it you can experience nasty and fascinating things that you wouldn’t actually want to get involved with. And the novelty doesn’t seem to leave you cold in that area.

Netflix the presentation started with a hard-hitting drug raid where everything goes wrong. After that, we moved on to underworld tasks in the big city, such as bank robberies, chases and gunfights. We were also seen at work GTA 6:n a story that resembles a playable movie.

Sometimes, on the other hand, we watched how the loving protagonists Jason and Lucia took it easy. They played basketball, fished, scuba-dived and explored the swamp on a marsh glider. The most impressive were rally races on asphalt tracks and BASE jumping from the top of a skyscraper into the hustle and bustle of the city.

The story seeks inspiration from the classic Bonnie and Clyde from the crime film (1967). It emphasizes the relationship between Jason, a drug dealer, and Lucia, who has just been released from prison, as they drift into ever more chaotic situations. Lovers want to go from rags to riches – no matter the means.

In the game, you move with both characters, and control can be changed seamlessly in missions. The video showed, among other things, how one character is driving a car and another is shooting a gun at criminals who are chasing after them. According to Rockstar, exercise, eating and sleep deprivation also change the appearance of the characters.

It is interesting that the game takes place in the same city as one of the most loved games in the series, i.e GTA: Vice City (2002). However, the world similar to Florida and Miami is now seen on a completely different scale and in the amount of details. Especially the character animation is hard to believe.

An introductory video appeared to YouTube Finnish time on Friday at four in the morning.

Rockstar has been playing the game for a long time and diligently, and sparing no expense. From the previous one From GTA 5 thirteen years have already passed, which guarantees even higher expectations than usual. The huge budget of the game also takes care of that.

The production is told having paid up to two billion dollars. And when marketing is added to this, another one billion can be included. Hence GTA 6 would not only be the most expensive game of all time but also an entertainment product.

For comparison, the world’s most expensive movie Jurassic World Dominion (2022) cost $659 million.

Netflix’s event still left questions in the air about, for example, the scope of the game world and the length of the story, but it answered the most important question about graphic quality, and that’s exactly what was expected.

GTA 6:n the open world looks so ambitious and finished, so alive and surprising that the game may even exceed the expectations placed on it.

And they are astronomical: GTA 6:lle nothing more than raising the bar for the entire gaming industry is enough.
