Yea, for whatever it's worth back when the alpha footage was leaked you could see it was littered with memory issues. And Rockstar is notoriously bad at handling data streams efficiency.

It must be tricky coordinating that many people working on that many things and making them all play nicely together.

The graphics weren't pushed as much as I thought they'd be. My guess is they're trying to figure out how to future proof the game in terms of graphics and performance while keeping everything backwards compatible with older consoles.

My guess is as things stand now, that game randomly boats up on memory and then weird glitches happen

“GTA 6 release date who was originally set for 2025 has been pushed to early from mid 2026, any thoughts?”

My explanation: They do this to prevent crunch. They don’t want to overwork employees for a deadline which comes at the expense of the quality when it comes to the product consumers expect a certain polish from.

Think about ‘No Man’s Sky’, ‘Fallout 76’, ‘Cyberpunk 2077’, etc. Sometimes pushing back a product past release date and fixing the game without pressuring low wage game coders is better than rushing a half assed product with 5,000+ glitches….

Where I stand is, I stand with programmers, coders, designers, animators, etc. and companies that actually respect the developers’ vision giving them extra time. Putting workers first and greed second is a good thing not a bad thing, simply put wait for GTA 6 and you surely won’t be disappointed and please if you are going to Tweet about it or Reddit or whatever make it positive cheering on good behavior (with explanation to educate others) so we never ever go backwards only forward. We must move forward in this industry because workers matter!

I boycott Rockstar so it doesn't matter for me at all.
First they have to:
- Compensate the modder who got private detectives sent to his house
- Restore the content taken from me AFTER I already bought a copy and do this for every game. So both GTA4 and San Andreas.
- Unban everyone who got unjustly banned for being targeted by a cheater
- Make sure online is properly safe and secure

Then ill consider it.

This is how much I care about GTA and any other game/gaming system. ;)

Who cares anymore. That company is absolute dog shit and only cares about milking micro transactions from their online games. The only reason they even make single player games is to have an updated online games for more micro transactions revenue. Developer and producers like this just hold IP hostage and stop producing the series. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, RDR, GTA, etc... all have been completely shut down.
