It will flounder for years as a game rife with startup screens, unskippable content, microtransactions, an intermittently working forever online connection, and a toxic multiplayer.
Then it will hit PC. Mods will breathe new life into it. Cracks will dispense away with the invasive framerate-killing mechanisms. An underground P2P multiplayer client will be developed and it will get wildly successful. Rockstar will sue, then finally settle.
Long time GTA fan and I have to agree. There’s an unbelievable amount riding on this one, and I feel like the GTA satirical magic is somewhat lost. From what I heard, a lot of the original team from R* have left - but let’s see! Real info is scarce.
