Lmao they literally hide my post

Edit: You guys cannot include “G0nnae” or “G0nnaenodaethat” in your post. Instant ban lol

Poor you lol. It's because you people kept spamming his sh*t months ago - also it's automod, not "they". We don't care about him lol. Any other kind of speculation is better than talking about this guy and giving him attention.

 

This isn't a Discord chat, or a random Reddit megathread, if there's nothing to discuss, something will pop up without having to bring up stuff like this or one-word posts like I've seen earlier.

GTA V's was a lot crazier in some respects, but that was post announcement. GTA VI post announcement is gonna be... *something*.

There's a difference between 'enjoyment,' and 'a decent level of posting....'

What? This happens across all game companies as they ramp up large projects, expanding their workforce. Where does that idea come from that people are hired then fired?

I thought that was pretty normal. It happens among all industries. After their big project they most likely don’t need all that staff. A lot of salaries have to be paid for a lot of manpower that my go unutilized due to post release downtime.

There is never too much staff for these big projects as long as they're all properly coordinated. Many people who joined Rockstar for GTA V also worked on RDR2 and are still there (of course not everyone, but I think/hope you get my point) - they won't fire everyone that worked on something just because it's done, that would be a waste of potential talent as well and is not how it works everywhere at all. Same thing with people who joined for RDR2 and are most likely working on GTA VI too.

 

If it worked like you say, then there wouldn't be any of the same names in the credits, sometimes spanning many many games. But, there are. Lots of repeats, because those people are effective permanent employees, not disposed of just because a project is done... Game dev studios don't have much downtime even if it looks like that to us outside.

 

I understand what you're saying, there are many times lay-offs after projects are done but that is quickly becoming a thing of the past and usually only happens when a project doesn't go to plan, something goes wrong, or corporate just goes crazy. It's not *that* common in the games/creative industry.

Employee turn over is an issue historically in the industry in places, studios that ramp up their teams during full production then trim it back down once a game is released and repeat. Not sure how prevalent of an issue it is today though, especially for studios the size of R*. Not to mention the hiring crisis going on in the industry too.

I just hope when the first trailer drops this forum site will still actually work...

@Spider-Vice What is the record of users currently viewing?

Well there's several layers to it, total users on the forums, users viewing a section (all topics in that section combined), and users viewing a topic. I'm not sure about our record for a topic, it must be around the 5k mark or so for IIRC GTA V Trailer 2 (about 8k total on the forums in 2012 at that time which was incredible). For the whole forum, it's at the bottom of the index, circa 15.3K when GTA Online released, but even that might be an approximate number. We got more traffic closer to release than at announcement, but GTA VI might be a bit different as it's so hotly anticipated plus the R* community grew exponentially in general after GTA Online.

Bring on the flood.  

 

EDIT: I have some random screenshots from 2012 still, from when some GTA V preorder screenshots and collectibles "leaked", and GTA V trailer 2 at the bottom. I can't find the collectibles topic, it was probably renamed or something but.

Spoiler

those f*cking viewfinders I remember people taking the lowest quality pictures of the inside of them. I wanted one so bad but I wasn’t even old enough to pre order it at the time. I also remember around the same time GameStop posters of gta v artwork leaked and there was one of Trevor on the 4 wheeler and of Franklin holding chop, people thought it was fake because they said there’d never be animals in GTA, despite the fact there was a dog on the beach in the first trailer. This was all before the initial game informer reveal article. 
 

it was hell

Tomorrow

Vice vice baby 

[TheOriginalGunslinger]

Anyone wonder if they’ll be a heavy influence on boat racing (maybe meet a contact who’s super into it) in Vice City? We’ll most likely be using the water often and Miami sure loves its boat racing scene even to this day.

 

Probably my favorite scene from the underwhelming Miami Vice movie.

I just wanna be on the water

 

What I'm most looking forward to in Vice City. Just make it a bit more fun than the boats in V.
