GTA 6 is "Well Underway", Confirms Developer Rockstar Games

Original-ish (not remaster, I think the older ones were also a re-release of sorts, at least the ones I have on steam).

If it's not a remaster, then the remaster has its point. You don't have to like it, I don't either, but it has a point more than just a "cash grab".

I said crossgen (different console generations), not crossplay (different platforms - xbox, playstation, pc)

Yes, it's enough if they sync it with PS5 + Xbox Series. But this is a challenge on its own. Then suddenly PS4 + Xbox One have its own "version". Uh. Probably better to include all gens then, less hassle.

Or just don't launch the game for older consoles that have little chance of running it without major compromises
I'm all for continued support, but not when it just drags progress back, last gen consoles will be dropped eventually, GTA VI on Q4 2023 will be almost a mid gen tittle so yeah, no reason to limit the current gen because of the previous one at that point (see also cyberpunk as an example of a tittle that simply shouldn't have been on last gen consoles, optimizations and bugs or not, last gen didn't have enough performance).

This depends on the plan Sony / MS has for those consoles, less to do with technical specs. It's a economic decision. I also don't see the problem, these are all based on x86, so the implementation shouldn't be too hard to do. No IBM CPU's anymore.
