Rockstar Games finally shows off Macca & Friends Image: Rockstar Games Sign in to your Polygon.com account There is going to be a lot to do in Grand Theft Auto 6 when the game is released on Nov. 19. Players will, of course, be able to engage in the main story of Jason and Lucia, but there's going to be endless side activities as well. One of the strangest is Macca & Friends, an in-game animated series players will be able to watch. While you can already buy merch for the show, Rockstar Games hasn't actually shown off the series itself — until now. Discussing Film posted the first teaser for Macca & Friends, giving us our first look at the animated series. It follows the titular Macca, an anthropomorphic, sunglasses-wearing, pink alligator living his life in Leonida, Grand Theft Auto's version of Florida. His friends include Pinchie the crab, his landlord (who is not actually his friend), Chunkee the manatee, an unnamed flamingo, and a human cop. Macca will need to collect enough rent money to avoid getting kicked out. The show gives big Adult Swim energy and is clearly aimed at an older audience, which makes sense given everything about GTA. The teaser doesn't share how players will actually watch the show, though, given the level of immersion Rockstar is bringing to GTA 6, it wouldn't be surprising if it is a full series that can be watched across multiple episodes. I'm sure we'll only get clarity once GTA 6 is released. You can buy Macca & Friends merch before GTA 6 is even out. Image: Rockstar Games If, somehow, the short teaser trailer really charmed you, you can already buy several knickknacks featuring Macca. Rockstar is offering the Grand Theft Auto 6: The Good Time State — Vice City Collection for a whopping $399.99. While the special edition doesn't actually come with a copy of GTA 6, it does come with a Macca figure and a Chunkee shot glass, among other things.

Underneath, Los Santos runs on five very different people: one restless, one patient, one with no filter, one who has already worked out how it ends, and one who has never once doubted himself.

Your answers keep landing on the same one, and it is rarely the one people expect of themselves. Los Santos / RetiredMichaelComfort / Restlessness / RegretYou got everything and it did not help. Comfortable, restless, and quietly furious about being both. You bought the house, you got the life, and you have spent every year since wondering what it was supposed to be for.Why That Is You Michael is the only one of the five who is already successful when you meet him, which makes him the only one whose real problem is boredom. You picked the house first, and the rest of your life arranged itself around that one decision. A bad family dinner is one you are paying for, while wondering how it ended up like this. Ten years on you are trying to retire for the fourth time, and you will not manage it. ComfortableRestlessPaying For It Los Santos / AmbitiousFranklinAmbition / Patience / Getting OutYou are the only one with a plan to leave. Patient where the others are not, watchful where the others are loud, and the only one in Los Santos treating any of this as a route to somewhere better.Why That Is You Franklin is the one who arrives wanting out, and everything he does is measured against whether it moves him closer to that. You say nothing when somebody takes credit for your work, and you remember exactly who was in the room. Money gets invested carefully in the thing that gets you out, which nobody else here would even consider. People think this is as far as you are going. That is the single most useful thing they could believe. PatientWatchfulGetting Out Sandy Shores / UnfilteredTrevorNo Filter / No Plan / Total LoyaltyYou say the thing everyone else is thinking. No filter, no plan, and no interest in pretending otherwise. You are the loudest person in any room by a distance, and the most loyal one in it by a wider distance than that.Why That Is You Trevor is the least predictable character in the game and the most quoted, because he says out loud what everybody else is being careful about. You introduce yourself to everyone, loudly, within an hour of arriving anywhere. Money is gone by Thursday and you genuinely could not tell anybody where it went. People think you do not know exactly what you are doing. You do, and that is the unsettling part. No FilterUnpredictableFiercely Loyal Los Santos / CalculatingLesterPlanning / Caution / Knowing EverythingYou worked out how it ends before it started. You do not go out, you do not improvise, and you have known the answer for a while. Everybody else is reacting. You are the only one who has read ahead.Why That Is You Lester is the one who sees the whole board, and he is written as the opposite of everybody around him: no volume, no impulse, all preparation. You researched the place for six months before you moved, and you know it better than people who grew up there. You screen every call and ring back when you are ready, which other people find rude and you find obvious. People think you are not paying attention. You have a record of exactly who did what, and it will come up. PreparedScreens CallsReads Ahead Los Santos / RelentlessLamarConfidence / Schemes / Never Doubts ItYou have never once doubted yourself. Relentless, funny and completely unbothered by the last four ideas not working. You are the reason the room is in a good mood, and the next one is definitely the one.Why That Is You Lamar is the character with the most confidence and the least evidence, and the game clearly likes him more for it. You told everyone back home how well it was going well before it was going at all. Money goes on something visible, immediately, because what is the point otherwise. People think you do not mean a word of it. You mean all of it, every time, which is why the next one is definitely the one.
