PS4 is probably going to be the same. PS5 better be different.

If only Volition kept this direction 

This was a good watch. Been hearing rumors that a Saints row 5 is coming out and i bet it'll be set in space or another dimension or something. (long random off-topic rant incoming....)

 

Looking back i think the realism and immersion of Saints Row 1 is something that got taken out slowly starting by sr2. they put a lot of care to make the city feel real and the gangs immersive, the vibe they were going for reminds me of The Wire a little bit. By sr2 we have Japanese biker gangs and over the top wacky sh*t and while there is a good bit of immersive things, the tone is a little odd and it kinda planted the seeds for 3/IV/Gat out of hell. If i were volition, i'd make the series go back to its roots and like set it in the past. Theres a line in SR1 where Ben king says "Julius aint even from the row he grew up with me in Sunnyvale Gardens" i think a prequel would do good, take the series back to its roots. maybe a young julius, young ben king, and the player (a new player not related to the previous games) would start the vice kings and it could show Julius and Ben slowly becoming distant and not agreeing and julius splitting up. a man can dream.... anyways i'm done lol

Far Cry 6

 

The year is 2040. 

 

Ubisoft announced Far Cry 20, and Assassin's Creed: Dinosaurs. Rockstar Games decides to announce something, so they go for Grand Theft Auto V: Enhanced Edition.

Yeah man I've always wanted a prequel in Saints Row set in the 70's. It could work. Julius, King, created character. To explain why they are never mentioned again in the series have them be abducted by aliens at the end. We'd also get more background on Julius like his girlfriend Angela. Apparently the devs were going to make Saints Row 2 set in the 70's they said it in one of their tweets but changed their mind.

 

Another idea I'd like to see is a game set between SR1 and SR2. Where we play as Carlos's brother (they can retcon it to where he could have had a sister instead to give us options when we create our character) who is part of the Saints maybe even runs them while the Boss is in the coma. The only negative about this is that as we saw in SR2 the Saints were pretty much done in the beginning before the boss woke up. There would be a lot of infighting between the Saints since Julius turns his back on the saints, Troy cracking down arresting them, and the boss is in the coma. A power struggle emerges on what remains of them.

 

 

We've gone so off topic lmao. We've just run out of sh*t to talk about GTA VI ever since the PS5 announcement.

For some reason I think if it was Cyberpunk we would have already known. It would make for a nice marketing to have his character in the gameplay trailer.

Here's a curve ball,he's in one of the new xbox exclusives.

It's rare that we know a celebrity will be in a new rockstar game,celebrities also don't get big roles in rockstar games anymore.Only exception i can think of is Grahan Greene in Red Dead 2

Good. I hate seeing famous people in video games.

 

Also, when people see someone famous they behave like they forgot about the game - they only care about the famous dude. This way they overhype the game so much...

Idk man there's a lot of people who play games who don't really watch movies or tv that much and have no idea who they are.

[Americana]

I know, but people on the internet go nuts. I mean, when it comes to Silent Hill, for example - people spoke about that guy, not about the game.

I think this goes to show how innovative and energetic studios will always find a way no matter what. As they said, "There was this do or die attitude and it just opened up the playbook. Things we would be relatively closed-minded about... All that went out the window."

 

Whereas for R* they probably held a lengthy series of Zoom meetings then decided to delay for six to nine months (and to release GTAO on PS5 of course).

Giancarlo Esposito is going to star in a video game. Could it be GTA VI? Cyberpunk? To be announced unknown game???

I guarantee it'll be Far Cry 6. Maybe in Alaska?

I think they have something to do with props used in the mocap.

According to the Jeff Grubb ( iirc ) he stated Far Cry is going back to tropical landscape/islands.

Giancarlo Esposito is an awesome actor btw. His range is scary. I'd seriously consider buying a game with him, but if it's Far Cry(which it is most likely), then it's pretty lame because every villain in Far Cry appears like two-three times throughout the whole game lol.

He is also in Payday 2

On a normal set / stage they make all the backgrounds and props etc. It involves a lot of crafty practical skills, often under really tight deadlines.

 

For mocap it’s a little different. There’s no need to create much in the way of visual props because most of it is digitally added. So their focus is much more technical - setting up and looking after the rigs, configuring layouts etc. And supporting people who film folk in pingpong gimp suits all day.

So its safe to say since theyre in need of help for Mo cap, it probably means they are about 60 to 70 percent on the project. I feel of course they first try to get the VAs to do their lines in a reasonable time frame, then Mo cap it to recreate the scenes that will be presented.

Yeah, I read that too. But the Alaska rumours have been around a couple of years. Ubisoft even did a questionnaire on it. Wherever the game is set, it could incorporate the expedition missions from Far Cry New Dawn, and Alaska or the tropical locations could appear there.

But, yeah... I trust Jeff.

Yes, motion capture is usually done in the later stages of development. So it's safe to say whatever is coming isn't way too far.

isnt mocap the first thing that needs doing?

Nope.

 

Well at least not for most studios. I can't say this is 100% true for every project.

It's not  mocap. It's performance capture. And it's ongoing. It isn't done first, last or in the middle. It's done across 3 to 5 years, in bursts.

There is another interesting thing about Dundee although pretty coincidental. Ruffian Games based in Dundee is now helping Rockstar Games with...something.

Well the original reference is that Dundee was where DMA Design were located, which later became Rockstar north in May 2002. Ruffian Games are based in Dundee, and their creative director Billy Thompson was one of the original level designers on GTA 1. I think their history, and their work as a support studio just makes them a great choice.
