I know, I just wish someone would take a risk and making something incredible. There is a chance they could reach even greater sales with a VR only game. 

I see GTA as a standard setting IP, one that ushers in new technology, and advances the industry. Moving to VR only would be the most Rockstar/Grand Theft Auto move they could make. 

In my opinion a large 4K GTA would be a disservice to the brand, but that is just me.

How is it a standard setting new tech IP if GTA 5 wasn't even't confirmed to come out on this gen's hardware! People even claimed it would never happen and you should buy the ps3/360 version... GTA 6 will focus on running on ps4 and xbox one first, not the pro or Scorpio nor next gen hw. Which is fine, more chance ps5 can handle it in VR without any sacrifices. Though I hope it doesn't take until the end of the gen for GTA 6 to come out, and that they will include VR support for ps4 and perhaps Scorpio by then.

Perhaps they'll make a new VR only IP, follow up to LA Noir is possible. Something slower paced to be comfortable for more users. I don't think the world is ready for 1st person VR only GTA, 1st person mode in GTA 5 got plenty criticism already!

Should Naughty dog make tlou2 VR only? It would sell a few more headsets, it would make many more people angry I bet.

GTA5 is still the most detailed open world game I have played. It may not have every graphical bell and whistle, but the attention to detail is far beyond anything else. Horizan is the most beautiful open world so far, but it does not capture every little nuance like GTA5.

As far as GTA6 launch. I think with RDR2 coming next year, it is going to be a long time before we see GTA6. I really would not be surprised to see it in the first year of PS5 whenever that may be.

I would not mind a follow up to LA Noir, or a brand new franchise built around VR. 2K has already been doing quite well at the publisher level, I know NBA 2K and Carnival Games VR are both published by them. So it is very possible they would be willing to take a chance on something bigger.

TLOU2, I would absolutely love it if they made it a 3rd person VR only expereince with motion controls. I think it would be very important to be in 3rd person due to how much the connection between characters is what really makes it a special expereince. The emotional connection would be massively amplified in a VR setting. 

I get what you are saying though. I can already see the protests over a VR GTA, and how it is hurting the children. Even though no one under 12 is supposed to use VR, and no one under 18 is supposed to play GTA. I still think it is an extreamly important piece of popularizing VR, and growing the franchise.

At any rate, I really hope this LA Noir rumor for PSVR is true. It will be a day one buy from me if it is.
