LGTA 6 finally has a price tag, and it's already making people angry.
CEighty dollars for the standard edition. A hundred for the Ultimate.
LAnd the launch date is November 19th. Rockstar confirmed it.
CSo the game we've been waiting a decade for costs more than a tank of gas.
LLook, I get the sticker shock. But this is the biggest game ever made.
CThat's what they said about the last one. And the one before that.
LNo, come on. GTA 5 came out in 2013. Twelve years ago.
CAnd it's still selling. That's exactly my point. They know we'll pay.
LSo what, they should charge less out of kindness? It's a business.
CI'm not saying kindness. I'm saying eighty dollars is a lot for a game that'll also have microtransactions.
LOkay, that part I'll give you. The Ultimate Edition bonuses are probably just shark cards.
CA hundred dollars and you still have to buy in-game money.
LBut here's the thing. People are already bored with everything else.
CRight, there's a post going around from a guy saying he's just dumpster diving for games until GTA 6 drops.
LHe said his Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation profiles look like he's trying games and not finishing them.
CThat's the whole industry right now. Everyone's holding their breath.
LAnd Rockstar knows it. They can charge whatever they want.
CCapitalism, baby.
LSpeaking of games, there's a rumor about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4.
CRumor being the key word. I saw that post. Captain Price returns, DMZ, Switch 2.
LAnd a twist Xbox players might not love. But no official announcement.
CRight, so we're not treating that as news. It's a fan account hyping a wish list.
LBut if Captain Price does come back, I'm buying it. I don't care what it costs.
CYou just spent five minutes arguing about eighty dollars.
LThat's different. That's GTA. This is Price.
CYour logic is flawless.
LOkay, different world entirely. Shawn Levy's Ghost Rider movie.
CThe director of Deadpool and Wolverine. And now there's talk about who's playing the villain.
LConnor Storrie. He's in talks to star opposite Ryan Gosling.
CIn talks. That's Hollywood for 'maybe, maybe not.'
LBut here's what I actually like. There's a post saying it'll be shot on film.
COn film? Like actual celluloid?
LWith Linus Sandgren as cinematographer. The guy who shot La La Land and No Time to Die.
COkay, that's a real get. If it's true.
LIf. The Hollywood Reporter apparently said it, but I haven't seen the actual article.
CSo we're in rumor territory again. But a Ghost Rider movie shot on film? That's a vibe.
LRight? Flames on film. That's going to look incredible.
CYou're already planning your midnight screening.
LI'm not saying I have a leather jacket ready. I'm just saying it's in my closet.
COf course it is.
LAnd one more thing before we go. There's a joke on Bluesky that's been making me laugh.
CWhat is it?
LSomeone said a young mayor getting caught using the police gym for pickup basketball is the plot of a kids movie where the mayor is the hero.
CThat's actually perfect. I can see the poster.
LRight? 'Mayor Ball.' Coming this summer.
CStarring The Rock as the mayor.
LAnd Kevin Hart as the police chief.
CI'd watch that. Twice.
LThat's our show for now. More weird internet after the break.
