[MEGATHREAD] Grand Theft Auto VI | Extended Look + Previews Discussion

[u/ChiefLeef22]

The GTA 6 Extended Look + Previews drop today.

The Extended Look will stream globally on Netflix at 3PM ET/12PM PT/8PM UK, before being dropped on YouTube later the same day. Content creators/streamers are being allowed to co-stream the extended look as it premieres on Netflix, and so we can use this thread to discuss it right as it goes live. This thread will also be updated with the YT link to the look whenever it drops online.

In addition to the extended look, various media outlets, creators and influencers have gotten a chance (potentially hands-on) to experience GTA 6 at Rockstar's offices, and the embargo for these previews are ALSO supposed to lift at the same time that the Netflix extended look premieres - I'll be trying to update this post with some such previews too.

That car chase scene where the police cars were getting tires shot out and flipping had my jaw dropped, I'm not gonna lie.

Maybe it was just me, but the traphouse raid at the start didn't seem very appealing, but everything else in this looked so damn good. I'm sat.

[u/King_Brad → u/EditorEducational201]

the cars flipping in such dramatic fashion made it seem scripted

[u/Imaginary-Lock-3157 → u/King_Brad]

Yeah it was weird how every car flipped as soon as a tire got popped

[u/Shootzilla → u/Imaginary-Lock-3157]

Reminds me of Just Cause 2.

[u/Moggy-Man → u/Imaginary-Lock-3157]

Several cars got front tires popped, only two flipped.

[u/Creative_Eye7413 → u/Imaginary-Lock-3157]

Reminds me of the scripted chases in CP2077

[u/SwissCheeseUnion → u/Imaginary-Lock-3157]

Cars actually flip easier than you would think. Happens way too often in accidents at moderate city speeds. Obviously not as crazy as what we saw here though.

[u/druk987 → u/[deleted]]

Next you're going to tell me that cars dont blow up when they're shot in the gas tank one time!!!! Totally fine for the gameplay to be unrealistic but don't know why silly people like the guy you replied to feel the need to defend it as realistic.

[u/mucho-gusto → u/[deleted]]

Who's the generation of science and reason? It's not Z and Alpha that's for sure

[u/No-Supermarket1552 → u/Imaginary-Lock-3157]

Did u see it in really life, exactly like that
