If Jason and Lucia are influenced by the bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde, would we have a "It Takes Two", but the VI version? 

[vst]

Wonder if the other 2 scrapped protagonists for VI will be added with DLCS. Seemed to ambitious to make happen as 3 was a lot in GTA V.

[franloradr]

lets see what inventions strauss come up with during next shareholders call when he will be asked about how is it going regarding VI

 

"yeah, everythings fine, thanks for asking, next.."

There has to be some kind of absolutely insane GTA twist, because that concept in and of itself is just uninspired, overused, and old timey as it could possibly get. I do have hope though because they go all out in story and detail.

Do we even know this was actually real, outside of rumors? I mean even in 2017 I was predicting Vice City just because no other location on Earth would be as popular.

Have i claimed that? I'm just saying that it's unreasonable and untolerable to wait up to a decade or more to release new GTA-games and i think 99.9999999999% agrees with that.

Just a rumour, but it did come from Stephen Totilo, who is a reputable journalist. We all know that the Project Americas leak from early 2018 is very much legit, and that leak stated Vice City was the primary location along with a secondary South American location (R* might've scrapped the latter portion). So, the "3 cities, 4 protagonists" idea was most likely from very early in pre-production, and R* reduced the scope before RDR2 even came out. And map expansions, which I believe is something they've always wanted to do.

I actually haven't really worried about it much. I recognize that Rockstar put a lot of time and effort into RDR2, which plays a huge role in why we haven't gotten GTA VI earlier. If RDR1 had been it and it got no prequel, GTA VI would very likely be out.

Maybe I am pessimistic but I don't think they will announce it at Investors call or same day as investor call, if anything this is going to be this weekend OR... they will announce announcment on Investors call. Let's hope so as thats all we have.

tbh. I am looking forward to this investors call, I am actually interested what is going to be main point of this call, definetly not GTA Online, especially that we had no Community Update this months but... who knows? Maybe I am wrong. I suspect either new GTA info or Zynga.

That's the reality, unless you want Rockstar to solely focus on GTA and nothing else. Even then, a new GTA will take at least 5 years or more to make. That's where GTA Online comes in. It bridges the long gap between sequels while they work on other IPs.

Rockstar will have to expand significantly to be able to work on two different flagship projects simultaneously while maintaining the level of detail people expect from them nowadays, but that's easier said than done. Probably will take them this decade to get even close to that.

Games take so much longer because of the amount of detail that goes into them now, not to mention the bugs. Then I hate to beat a dead horse, but covid delayed everything by like a year probably just because of the painstaking half-staffing every company on the planet did. Don't forget too.... this is nothing new. Look at every major Nintendo game. How about Bethesda? I'm sure we can all name other devs that take 5+ years to make a AAA game. Everyone that has been gaming for at least the last 20 years shares your pain. Trust me. Nothing anyone can do until better future dev techniques become a reality.

I want to say Cayo is a proof of concept. When the arena came out and that prize wheel was there, I was betting on it being used in the casino. Lo and behold.... lucky wheel! Cayo won't be the last time we see distant locations.

 

Also the airport teleporting you to the beach party. I can guarantee that in the future, we will be using that exact method to travel between cities.

 

Yes the map expansions were talked about for Online. They said that as future GTA games come out, the cities will be added in. We have yet to see this play out, but I think it's still their plan.

It doesn't matter and it's no excuse for one of the largest game devoloping companies in the world to release games at this slow of a rate. I appreciate their attention to detail in their games but it gotta speed up ALOT, no other game devoloper takes this long time to release new games and has as many delays as Rockstar does

I want them as you said expand and hire more people to be able to work on many different games at the same time so we dont have these HUGE amounts of time wr have to wait inbetween games

Goes back to what I suggested once, there could very well be an optional coop mode for the story so you can play with a friend. One is Jason, the other is Lucia.

 

Also, I see this thread still isn't very good at investigations considering my last few posts here  Not the 80's post.

And no other developer even attempts to make anything like a Rockstar game, not by a long shot.

Regardless, Rockstar is very much in line with most other AAA developers in terms of how much time they take nowadays. Bethesda hasn't made a single game since 2015's Fallout 4 (Fallout 76 is like GTAO for them, and wasn't even truly made by their lead studios). It has already been over a decade since Skyrim came out. Naughty Dog took 4 years for TLoU2. Nobody knows when its multiplayer component will come out. Uncharted has been dormant for 5-6 years. The new God of War sequel took 4½ years. Horizon Forbidden West 5 years. Rocksteady hasn't put out anything since 2015's Arkham Knight. Cyberpunk took 4-5 years from Witcher 3 and we all know that was painfully inadequate. A few publishers like Ubisoft, EA, and Activision kept on churning out sequels, which are also lambasted for being samey, although commercially those games were mostly successful. There's no real middle ground here.

idk. How true it's but time ago I've read somewhere that some developers were leaving Rockstar because of lack of progress, so if those rumours are true then I don't think they take that long because their are actually working on the game to be the best but rather it's some other problem in studio that makes development inefficient.

For pep wondering I am bit out of context on that conversation and I am trying to add my 5 cents to this talk.

----------------------------------------------------

Also to don't make two messages, new topic: How do you think the state is going to be called? Some people after watching the leaks suspect Leonida but why they suspect it? While watching the leaks I noticed it only appear once, sign on the highway was showing direction to Leonida Lake. Were there any other appearances of word Leonida? if yes where.

That's true man, I personally think you yourself should start your own studio and pump out a banger like RDR2 every 2 years, show these "Rockstar" what they are missing about game development.

What makes the wait a lil easier for me is knowing VI will probably, from what we've seen, follow in the footsteps of RDR2 when it comes to aspects of realism, mechanics, graphical quality, etc. Maybe the long wait isn't so bad, what with RDR2 being one of the greatest open world games of all time. As cheesy as this might sound, I believe we're in a new era of Rockstar. Forget about the Shark Cards for a second; focus on the lack of developer crunch and how much of a game-changer Red Dead 2 was in terms of, well, everything. My hopes are very, very high for what's next.

 

2024 or not, VI is still gonna f*cking ROCK when it releases.

This comment reeks or ignorance and entitlement. Rockstar's games are by far some of the most ambitious and most detailed games in the industry. No other studios out there makes games as vast or complex as Rockstar. So unless you want to start getting GTA games that are more basic and devoid of content than GTAIV, stop complaining. I am ready to bet that you don't know much about how game development works. There is a famous saying that goes around that might enlight you: "9 women can't make a baby in 1 month"
