Well, it’s hard to get me hyped but here I am like Cartman asking Butters to freeze him until Nintendo wii comes out…

On the side note, it seems like the story of the game is going to go around treachery again.

It’s Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde were crappy criminals but they were quite famous for their media presence. I think this one will have the protagonists be social media star criminals, and it will come back and bite them. Also, one dies, iirc.

I like the Bonnie and Clyde angle, but after that, you lost me.

"Rockstar’s next game, Grand Theft Auto VI, will include a playable female protagonist,” Bloomberg adds, citing sources familiar with the game.

“The woman, who is Latina, will be one of a pair of leading characters in a story influenced by the bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde, the people said.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_VI?wprov=sfla1

Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (October 1, 1910 – May 23, 1934) and Clyde Chestnut (Champion) Barrow (March 24, 1909 – May 23, 1934) were American criminals who traveled the Central United States with their gang during the Great Depression. The couple was known for their bank robberies, although they preferred to rob small stores or rural funeral homes. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the “public enemy era” between 1931 and 1934. They were ambushed by police and shot to death in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians.

Now watch the trailer again after looking at this: https://www.ign.com/wikis/gta-6/Social_Media_in_GTA_6

A Bonnie and Clyde social media fueled rolling catastrophy in a place that is very much also a rolling catastrophy (FL), seems pretty on par for GTA. They often mimic classics, GTAV had some underpinnings in the Three Musketeers (think: all for one, one for all ending).

The consequences of media buzz IS the story of Bonnie and Clyde. It’s unlikely they would have been chased by police like they were without the newspapers. They were petty criminals.

I agree the foreshadowing means one will die or betray the other somehow. Will bet 100 shark bucks or whatever on it.
