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.

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.
