Oh yeah I am sure they used to show up at work every day between 2014 and 2020 just to sit around a table and think of what the game will be about.

Pre-dev always begins after the previous title is released. They most likely started in 2014 and kept going until 2016 (we know this because of scouting leaks that happened between 2016 and 2018). Most of the team working on VI was pulled to work on RDR2. After 2018 full production continued on VI.

lol, imagine canceling a whole Online mode after probably a long development time because of Floyd protests? What does it even have to do with it? 

 

R* has got so, so soft. real-world stuff affecting irrelevant in-game things.

Hopefully the game will have a more serious tone like RDR2 and female protagonist sounds cool too . Only thing that is disappointing to me is that it's just Miami and no south american cites which sucks especially cause we got the same for GTA 5 .

Really hoping the game comes late 2024 and not before and we are definitely getting and Announcement soon .

I remember the time when the first RDR2 trailer came out and the ones following, people were disappointed and thought Arthur looked massively generic. I personally didn’t get peoples concerns but the point is, maybe we’ll be surprised when the game comes out. 

It's always the same thing - people thought RDR2 would be "sh*t" because of GTA Online, guess what... they were wrong lmao.

I am asking about the finer details. I mean Schreier is kind of a scum and I think he was wrong a couple of times with his predictions

That's the period you concept test, create prototypes, build the engine and stress test it....

 

It's not all sitting at a table and asking, 'what's the story?'  That's just part of pre-dev.

Hmma storm that is actually going up the place that inspires Vice City, really strange

[VercettiGuy]

To be honest, the female protagonist is the only positive thing I'm getting from this article. It really makes me look forward to the game.

Pre-development is also includes making the story and ideas, mechanics and what game to take the direction in. Keep in mind between 2014-2018, RDR2 was in full scale development.

Also more interiors… ummm yayyy

Screenshot of the entire article - no paywall.

Looks like the announcement is imminent. It's been a long wait guys and gals, strap in.

 

Also I'd be all for adding of extra cities but I know it won't be added with any significant story content, just as an online playground.

but isn't that also early dev? creating prototypes and testing the engine, that is early dev before full production starts, making the actual game they were planning.

You usually have good takes but this isn't one of them. Kind of an ignorant way to look at it. You're either not american or out of touch. The Floyd situation was a lot bigger than that and it makes sense to cancel a police related update when there was so much controversy around police at that time. Even though the update was worked on way before the Floyd situation happened, had they released it they would have been tore apart for it.

Yeah the guy who admitted that he knew about sexual harassment within Blizzard, but he didn't blow the whistle deserves nothing but my utmost admiration and respect. I was thinking about erecting him a statue.

It was about time, GTA V had none (aside from safehouses, convenience stores and Ammunations) but I honestly hope R* won't try to claim this as a huge accomplishment when previous games were overloaded with interiors.

A few things.

 

Schreier is the most legit guy in gaming. He personally @'d me after expressing my criticism of his leaks, so I've learned to trust him. Obviously things can change but that guy just doesn't post things that are speculation or unconfirmed.

 

Also, I'm personally glad they're moving away from the overly-satire tone. I don't understand why people think it's a "SJW" thing, for me it's simple, the game is going to be more grounded and realistic. Plus, I can't recall actually many made-to-be offensive joke from Rockstar. Maybe some things have aged badly. But for their time they sure weren't over-the top. I mean in GTA IV Niko never mocks Bernie for being gay, and beats up the people who harass him. Didn't know Niko Bellic was a SJW.

The whole "satire" genre has become more and more difficult to pursue, especially in terms of game development. Things move in and out so quickly the jokes go out so fast. If the game were to bring actually cutting-edge satire again, they'd have to write the story three months from launch. I don't know what you guys want, some stillborn jokes like Duke Nukem Forever? 

Obviously the game is going to "change direction". Why they would make GTA V again but this time in Miami? What in this signals the game is going to be crap? 

[GRANDHEIST]

Once again appalled by how Schreier shares info he has no business sharing, especially if he knows the announcement will happen soon, stealing the thunder of "the most-highly anticipated game on the planet" for his own benefit and career, and disguising it as some great humanitarian expose about R*'s company culture and crunch with the title, when clearly the article is mainly about VI info. Sam is probably pulling his hair right now

 

Besides that, "a latina protagonist", good thats what I wanted, "Bonnie And Clyde-esque" well, lets see how that turns out, hopefully bigger scale than two small time robbers

 

The other stuff... if content now gets delayed everytime something horrible happens in America its never going to come out + making any connections with real world violence and video game "violence" is not a road they should go on

 

"Besides, several Rockstar employees pointed out that you can't really satirize today's America — it's already a satire of itself." 

That's why you should of set in the PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST!

lol, then Activision should have cancelled most of COD games because It's mostly killing brown people who were killed and mascaraed by the American/NATO army in real life. But of course those people don't matter, because they don't serve the agendas of the hypocritical, self-serving American/Western liberals class.

Nothing new dude. Rockstar modified the police cars' color in GTA3 from blue to black because the 9-11

Yeah, he said TWO FREAKING YEARS AGO, that the game is in early dev, today he said it's been in dev in 2014.

 

Which means two things: Either we are going forward in time and he's going backwards, so he's in 2018 right now. OR, his concept of what is early dev is a little flawed.

I don't mean to be rude but you don't seem to know how game development is structured.

Pre-Production and Production.

Games can be in pre-production for years. The Elder Scrolls VI has been "in development" since 2018 by Bethesda but not actually "in production"

What Schreier says is not contradictory. He means that the game has been in pre-production since 2014 and was early in production in 2020, which is completely in line. 

Hope this helps.

>skeleton, completely stripped of flesh and muscle matter

Very cool R*

 

This is what ive been saying for a while. I personally would rather one city at a much larger scale then multiple town size cities. One of the things I loved about cyberpunk was the scale of Night City, it felt huge, like a city should do. This is the feeling I want to get from whatever city is in the next GTA.

 

At this point the only thing I'm worried about is the length of the game, how much is online only content, and how good the first person view is

Miami/Vice City is not bigger than  Los Santos/Los Angeles in real life by a country mile. As a game it may be more dense with interiors, per the report, and have a more varied biome with locations, but let's not forget this series is about eliminating useless space. I'd imagine if Rockstar is expanding Vice City in any capacity, it will be with Broward County, the Everglades, possibly some pseudo-version of Cuba, and the gulf of mexico/atlantic ocean. 

Very exciting to see that they will expand Online with multiple instanced cities, which plausibly will be Los Santos and Liberty City for starters. Even if not remastering GTA4 (plot, characters, etc) it's been proven to easily remaster the building assets.  People wish-listing future cities won't understand the granular detail Rockstar has required in the past (of which there are many articles available from GTAV launch).

I love how much of a soyboy Schrier is talking about how they're doing playable female protagonists in GTA as if it never happened before, completely forgetting that GTA Online and the 2D GTA games already have that.

 

He is so open-minded that his brain has fallen out.

A mute protagonist and a 2d sprite are truly comparable to a fully realized mocapped protagonist with several hundred hours of dialogue.

You're first mistake is trying to explain to a misogynist something pretty basic about characterization.

It's fresh. Something new.

I couldn´t care less to be honest with you. I would never play as a female char. But i´m happy for all the girls who like to play GTA as a woman.

It's interesting what everybodies own interpretation of "surrounding areas" is. Do you genuinely believe that Cuba would count as that and that it could be there?

 

(My wording sounds like I'm attacking you, but I'm really interested what everyone thinks "surrounding areas" means)
