GTA 6 Speculation & Discussion [Part 5.69]

[Kris194]

Because they aren't really hiring them, they get paid of course but they are contractors, not employees.

someone answer me please! rdr2 was made on the base ps4 right? and got ported to pc where its full potential came through. I've read that the ps5 is eight times more powerful than the ps4... gta 6 is going to look better than real life.

Yes, RDR2 was made with base consoles in mind so even on PC you're just getting better graphics, effects and performance but the core game is practically the same.

VI will look remarkably better than RDR2, that's for sure. But the more interesting part is how the AI, animations, physics and the overall world simulation would look and feel because PS5/Series X has a magnitudes more powerful CPU than previous gen consoles (the jump is higher that last gen consoles which had pretty crap CPUs to begin with) and instead of a slow ass HDD devs have an actually fast SSD to play with now, so a game made from the ground up for these current consoles could potentially be very different than last gen titles. Couple that with Rockstar's lofty budget, manpower and talent and we're looking at a technical marvel imo.

but also something i really don't understand and that i'm very worried about is how are they going to put thousands of npcs that have personalities and unique routines? that thought has been stuck in my head for the past weeks!

are they going to put thousands of actors to do mocap and voices? or are they going to get alot of voice actors and have them do various other characters that have different voices?

Over 1200 actors already worked on RDR2 and that's just a game set in the old west. 

Quote

Bringing the script to life meant 2,200 days of motion-capture work — compared with just five for Grand Theft Auto III — requiring 1,200 actors, all SAG-AFTRA, 700 of them with dialogue.

They could use specific softwares to procedurally tweak and tune recorded NPC voice lines so they sound different from each other essentially try to make it more varied, I have no experience with these stuff though. But procedural generation does play a big part in these type of games.

 

 

VI will be Rockstar's largest production to date and the game, if executed properly would last them a decade. Rockstar sure as hell knows it and they'd try their best to ensure that level longevity. Potentially billions of dollars are at stake there, they'll take their sweet time to not f*ck it up.

We could expect some details about R* if this happens.

Either GTAV next gen or Bully II.

Doubt you'd find those on prod.

i personally think that rockstar would hire a super good writer from the industry or that maybe dan houser has left a team of writers behind him so they can handle the writing process

You have some very, very old data. Nowadays they have about ~1170 employees at Edinburgh studio only. I'm not even gonna mention hundreds of testers at Lincoln. Rockstar is way, way, way bigger company nowadays than 10 years ago. Hell, they employ way over 500 people at Rockstar India alone.

 

https://www.pcgamesinsider.biz/news/69179/grand-theft-auto-studio-rockstar-norths-headcount-almost-doubled-between-2017-and-2018-financial-years/

 

Nope. The numbers I quoted were published by Rockstar last week.

 

They are the accurate headcount for 2019/20 and 2020/21.

 

As I mentioned in my earlier post the numbers are for UK studios only, not the North America and India studios.

Funny thing is https://dev.cloud.rockstargames.com/ exists but it can't be accessed without R* VPN, I guess.

My bad, should be 2018/19 and 2019/20 then, FWIW.

Damn, I'd be amazed if Rockstar includes working wipers, and this random dude mentions numerous cities. 

[big_man]

Rockstar are unbelievable at preventing leaks but I wonder IF gta 6 is getting announced soon if the leaks will start to appear… Surely 1 person f*cks up

@Tez2 How confident are you that Rockstar will reveal their next title later this year?

Keep in mind, that article didn't mention on April 1st, 2017 and as part of 2017/2018 filing, the net assets of Leeds, London and Lincoln studios were transferred to Rockstar North. That's why the employee count doubled. Not really because Rockstar suddenly hired that many employees.

Some people hate swamp areas but I bet they'd be a hell of a spot for some sunrise/sunset pics in VI.

I hope the swamps actually have an effect on vehicles though. I dont want to be able to bounce my way through marshland at 50mph in a lowered hypercar. Give us some reason to use SUV's and off-roaders

I'm sure there is a difference, but I can barely notice it. In the Jewel store heist, in GTA V. Hiring the better driver results in them picking dirt bikes, for better handling through the tunnels, rather than sport bikes. Off-road vehicles just don't feel like they handle significantly better when actually off-road. There's no need to use them, when any car handles just as well.

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.

Had to make an account just for this, but where do you keep getting your bullsh*t from? I only ask as i have family that works for Rockstar and we havent heard anything about the sh*t you claim to know, so who is your apparent inside source?

i think in GTAV the off-road tires have some traction value or something that affects performance. but yeah the vehicle itself is not that different.

i agree that it is sound like bs but i believe tez says it with good intentions. It is his humble opinion based on educated guesses, and honestly, it sounds very plausible. and I am not someone that believes "gta vi will announce in x" rumors  . This year and 2023 is most likely for announcement.

It is getting very annoying that every other article i read is from Tez claiming he has an inside source (which would get said guy fired and fined alot of money) as every employee and even family (aka me) have to agree to none disclosure agreements or we could face fines up to the million mark which is no joke. Hell ive known about Rockstar games a good 4-5 years before they are ever announced but i cant tell anyone or risk a lawsuit, but this guy seems to be spitting out (false) facts weekly it seems.

Moderating this forum is worse than taking care of toddlers sometimes. Can we please speculate, make the typical jokes etc but keep the BS to a minimum? Ty!

 

 

It will be good to see what intel we have on it's development.

chill your tits mate. blame those articles and not tez. tez is a cool dude who was purely speculating and giving his opinion. those articles are for clickbait and views. also its super obvious that he was speculating and not just saying "gta 6 will drop in 2022"

Imagine taking time out of your day just to do this

[Spider-Vice]

I think the most ironic bit is that they're calling out bullsh*t on Tez's post, while at the same time saying they can't talk about projects/what they know. Not talking about projects means not talking about projects, confirming or denying their existence and even any plans or anything you've heard. Saying that Tez is bullsh*tting would be violating your supposed NDA, saying you "haven't heard this" would be violating that same supposed NDA.

 

EDIT: Also, dev studios usually have no clue about announcement dates, sometimes up until a week before, or at the same time as us (which is when they then get informed they can talk about it). So no dev or family member/SO of a dev could ever say an announcement date is bullsh*t.

When you get banned, and them make a new account, may I recommend the username "IJustDon'tLikeTez"?

I understand your frustration completely . I've been following Tez a long time, and I really believe that the peoples that should be blamed are those twisting his words and writing articles for clickbait. Tez hasnt spread false info like most leakers. He has been right about quite a few things in the past. I understand your viewpoint but I think Tez is not what you perceive him to be
