i watched blade runner 2049 and imagined how rockstar would've made a futuristic game. i can only get so erect.

 

I'd be completely open to this as a new IP - we all saw the potential Cyberpunk had, part of me always wondered what that game would have been like if Rockstar made it instead - probably f*cking amazing and I say that as someone who thoroughly enjoyed Cyberpunk. 

[MrNachoManSTRIKESAGAIN]

guys... tell me your opinions on this. imagine a futuristic game with great written story with this huge futuristic town and artistic places like in blade runner 2049. with the ps5 specs rockstar can put real life into a game just like they did with rdr2. man i just want to see rockstar make a new ip. and i also had this idea of a complete new game. but with jack from rdr1 but the game would be a whole new ip set in the 1940 and jack getting drafted and coming back to america. just imagine an open world detailed battlefield map in germany made by rockstar. you just get drafted and fight but in the near end things calm down so you can explore the map without getting shot. man it would be so cool getting a serious deep story with this. tbh i just want a cold germany ww1-ww2 map and america in the 1940s lol man... imagine rockstar making maps like these if they made a futuristic sci fi ip

If the next GTA VI is in modern times, will the current Governor of FL stop the game from being woke?

A very interesting read, and one that does not paint Rockstar's senior management team in a good light at all. Still, that was all a long time ago.

 

I have a feeling we'll be hearing more about the Bully 2 saga, and some of the other shenanigans that went on in Rockstar over the last decade.

 

It's good to see serious, professional journalism covering things like this - as opposed to the shallow self-promoting nonsense trumpeted by Henderson et al on Twitter.

I, too, want to stop woke act. I hate having to wake up for work everyday.

So since bully 2 was confirmed to be in development and they went to work on rd2 i think it’s safe to say gta 6 started development after rd2…. 2025 release date??

Poor @Zello 

 

[big_man]

I hope rockstar don’t try not offending people with GTA 6. Reading these articles on Twitter complaining about games being sexist bla bla

But... what if we weren't?

that's a very good question

2021 was a pretty weak year for Rockstar. 

 

Only one RDO DLC, the usual 2 GTA Online DLC's and the mess that was GTA Trilogy Remaster.

 

But worry not because 2022 will give us E&E

 

 

and maybe VI announcement later during the Fall?

[PacVCF10]

Rockstar's plans for 2022 are E&E and NFT's, here you read it first

[tsycho]

I'm looking forward to what 2022 will bring us. I mean... There are SO many different types of houses!

Not when they actively mock them in GTAO's latest DLC, IMO. As I said in another topic, I can see 2K doing NFT stuff with the sports games but I don't think R* will. And even then although T2's Zelnick mentioned they "had potential", he didn't see value in them yet.

 

If GTA VI is present day and does include some sort of reference to crypto or being able to look at crypto stuff, I'm almost sure it'll be more satirical than anything else.

That hasn't stopped them in the past, though

 

GTA Online has become what they were parodying before about capitalism

[Spider-Vice]

I think they're very different things and scales though, lol. We'll see, but it's just my view on it.

[or1]

@MrNachoManSTRIKESAGAIN, The first picture looks cool, I can imagine a futuristic game with such an atmosphere and it might be interesting but it would surprise me if Rockstar would make such a game

Reading this makes me sad, another project, that devs were passionate about has been canceled. Rockstar became kind of company, that they were mocking, it's all about brands and numbers these days...

Let’s be honest this game wouldn’t work in today’s day and age , can you imagine how offended snowflakes would be??? Remember when people were outraged because a YouTuber beat up an female NPC in RDR 2

Its weird to think RDR2 was announced over 5 years ago now

[Johnny Blackbird]

Here's to another 12 months of ignoring RDO, more GTAO updates we don't want and zero info about the next GTA

[Tez2]

I think "shelved" is a better term. Rockstar went back to consider Bully 2 three times. They can always go back a fourth time. It depends on the arsenal of tools Rockstar would have at that point in time.

 

They definitely had interesting ideas and a functionable vertical slice, but faced issues with certain mechanics that would require more effort and a great budget for a game that may not be as successful as GTA. Since then, Rockstar have talked about how the tools have improved since GTAV's release under RDR2 development and will be improved even more under GTA6 development too. Maybe by then, the tech Rockstar would have could solve most of the issues to do with Bully 2?

 

Also, from this article, I could kinda understand why it was shelved a third time when Rockstar was re-exploring the idea of bringing it back in 2017. The next upgrade, I could think of, for GTA6 would be allowing us to access most if not all buildings or interiors we could see, but with the similar scale of open-world you could expect from a GTA game. The same selling point, but with a franchise that would definitely sell and a bigger scale of course. Rockstar could re-explore Bully 2 after coming up with all the tech aimed at facilitating the development behind making most interiors accessible for GTA6, if that's what Rockstar is exploring of course. Maybe, by then, the budget would cost much less and the development would be feasible.

Don't even get me started on this, it's been 3 years since RDRII and pretty much all you can expect from Rockstar is another DLC to outdated as hell game.

[MrNachoManSTRIKESAGAIN]

man if i was rockstar games and making 1 billion dollars per year from an 8 yearold game i wouldn't even consider caring about the fans 

[Tez2]

Since we are going into 2022, the new year is pretty much a given for the announcement of the next title. Going by Rockstar's pattern with major titles, a release is expected a year after.

So you are saying 2022 announcement and 2023 release??

Nah i don't see it. Doesn't line up with the Jason Scrhier info.

Plus why would they release E&E if they just release the next game almost a year later?

Nothing is a given when it comes to Rockstar as well.
