No.

So they are at a point where they couldn’t scrap it... too far in development

does anybody know if escobar international is coming back? i loved the way that airport looked in vice city stories 

They brought back Francis International Airport and Grove Street (and probably more places too) as homages to the older games so probably.

The only last question I have on this topic. Why are people saying it’s too late for rockstar to scrap the story and restart when we know they did that in 2020, they scrapped 4 protagonists for 2 

 

I'm pretty that wasn't them scrapping the whole story but more just changing around how they would go about things. Jason Schreier mentioned in his articles the game will be updated over time instead of including things like multiple cities and more than 2 protagonists at launch to reduce crunch or whatever.

Even if. 

 

Why would they scrap it? What was in the leaks that would warrant a scrap of the project and waste years of development and hard work? The stuff that was leaked we've already known for a few months now. There wasn't any story spoiled, and we most likely don't even know about all the mechanics the game will end up having.

So the 4 protag stuff was only pre-production?

I feel like Rockstar is aware that a lot people do not want romance in GTA so they might let us as players choose either if Jason and Lucia are romantically involved or not by giving us in-game choices

 

Bruh Who are these "a lot of people" you are talking about....

I always wanted something like this... something like Max Payne and Mona but in a GTA world.... full of choices!

Maybe - from what I gather in the below article, there are things that were initially meant to be present at the games launch but will now be added as DLC over time to take the strain off developers and improve working conditions. 
 

Quote

 

Early designs called for the inclusion of territories modeled after large swaths of North and South America, according to people familiar with the plans. But the company reeled in those ambitions and cut the main map down to a fictional version of Miami and its surrounding areas.

 

Rockstar’s plan is now to continually update the game over time, adding new missions and cities on a regular basis, which the leadership hopes will lead to less crunch during the game’s final months.

I am glad I will be able to control a Latina protag. Also looking forward to everything 6 will have.

What’s your obsession with them scrapping the story? It’s all I ever see you post about. They have no reason to scrap the story. The worst thing that happened is we saw the protags, who’s appearances will most likely be tweaked before release anyway.

[Retro_Causality]

Game been in production since early 2019 I assume they only have done 2 and a half years of mocap. They probably couldn’t do any mocap in 2020 because of COVID. Hopefully announcement is soon

I didn’t know how far they were in production

Pre production began in 2014 and paused in 2016 to focus on RDR2. It picked back up

in early 2019.

Seriously start to watch some god tier romance movies (not teenager ones)  some of them looks perfect for a GTA game!

Jacob getting scrapped was a bummer.

Yupp

Which means if it releases in 2024 then it would mean 5 years in dev. And maybe maybe simultaneously release on consoles and pc. 50/50. Hi again everyone I missed you guys.

I call BS on that number. Even 1,000 employees with $100k yearly salary working on the game full-time for 8 years would mean about $800m in expenditure, and we all know that's certainly not how it went down.

[Retro_Causality]

2 bln $ maybe not but top tier specialists and technology ain't cheap

Allocation makes more sense, including marketing, next GTA O support and such.

Dude, why are you so obsessed about reboot, scraping, reshape, whatever? There's nothing out there that even remotely suggests that. R* reduced the initial map size for development reasons. Kind of like what they did with IV-

Will it fit under 200 or 160 gigs since ps5 and xbsx support 100 GB discs?
