Edit: from what I see it might be 8 pages long

Can you or any other Dutchie translate what it says in that intro page? Like a summary of what it is.

I can atleast tell you that i cant read if they have played it or not. Only says that a editor is counting down the days.

[VercettiClarke]

From what i've read, working for R* sounds like pure hell 

[RedDead2503]

The only thing with working for r* is that you cant live the hype for info etc. I mean they know everything already lol

I bet it's still difficult for them though. I mean, they can't talk about their work... (Pretty much the story of any game dev)

Next week then....

Must suck in a way though cause you’d have been constantly playing it whilst it’s incomplete that by the time the game is the finished article you’d be kinda over the game. Also you’d never get to experience it for the first time start to finish.

[RedDead2503]

Its really too quiet this week with rdr2. Only a giveaway.

They're just summarizing the games that come out this Fall, but that it's suspiciously quiet for the rest of the season, because of RDR2. And then: 'Every developer is holding it's breath because that one game is coming, R*'s newest baby. And while babies normally only poop, cry and sleep, R*'s baby instills fear since its announcement on any other game that has to take it up against it (seriously, I'm not even joking). RDR2 is almost here..'

 

I can't stand those kind of 'let's-try-'n-talk-cool-which-everybody-will-like' texts… Nothing on a possibly hands-on though, just have to wait and see the 16th.

It would be very interesting to get a glimpse inside the R* Games development process. I’m guessing only ”a few” people know very much about the overall game up until very late in the process. Kind of like everyone makes a few pieces of a puzzle and then a core team puts everything together, and reshaping the pieces so they fit is a back and forth process between that core team and individual development teams. I have no idea though lol.

 

The thing that amazes me the most is that there aren’t more leaks, really. I mean, I know about NDAs, but with so many people involved you’d think more stuff would slip out. Would be interesting to see how they prevent such leaks apart from written NDAs as it has to be part of the whole organizational architecture.

 

Also, when they finally starts pressing discs, you’d think there’d be even more room for slips here and there. How do they keep these things secret??

 

Don’t get me wrong though, I really like that they’re secretive..

I've heard being a QA tester isn't a fun job at all...

Something like "Marvel's Spider-Man: Amazing sh*t"?

Exactly! 

[Jason]

A lot of game devs don't play the games they make I think, the magic we get when playing them has long worn off for them. I think a higher portion of the team will play any online modes though.

 

Also yea, QA testing can be hellish. Being a QA tester on RDR2 would not be a fun job for a die-hard Rockstar fan. You'd probably hate the game or have no interest in playing it come launch.

[RedDeadOrAlive]

next week there gonna be so much info our heads will explode! xD

 I see what you mean. Is that the Editor's face that's been edited on an old artwork of John from RDR? It's kinda corny lol

It is.. lame huh?

[VercettiClarke]

You guys need to go and have a look at Glassdoor.com and see what people have said about working for Rockstar. From the sounds of it, an awful company to work for, glad i never went down that path because for a big part of school that was my goal to work for them

It's weird.... to say the least.

Glassdoor reviews aren't really believable. I've heard people saying the same kind of stuff about CD Projekt RED on there.

There's absolutely some horror stories from Rockstar, the whole Rockstar wives thing and all that, but Glassdoor shouldn't be taken as gospel a lot of the time. You can post on there without being verified IIRC, and the site has a rep of being the place to leave bad reviews for your former/current employer.

Some devs like playing the finished game from start to finish, but it fully depends on their position within the company as well.

They're humans too (and most importantly, gamers)

I found this about next powerunlimited's issue: https://issuu.com/computertotaal/docs/power-unlimited_10-2018_preview

So basically it's nothing ... let's not expect any new info, screens or artworks from it.

The way the article starts and this weird artwork on the right should tell us enough of what to expect.
