If they invested a fraction of their Shark Card bullshit money into writing something on that level for GTA6, I don't see why it couldn't provide a great singleplayer story.
Now, the part about launching "something" first and expanding from there is more worrying. Because that sounds like they'll sell an overpriced 2 hour chapter 1 in some tiny neighbourhood and the promise of more chapters down the line. A sandbox game like this doesn't seem compatible with a Telltale episodic format, so they better get their shit together and release a full experience.
