Previously: Rockstar criticised for pushing employees to their limits.
Now: Employees quit Rockstar because of lack of progress, criticise managers put in place to manage their workload.

According to Bloomberg the next GTA will be set in Vice City, scheduled for 2024 and features a female protagonist.

Hopefully it's like some bonnie and clyde type thing, would be good fun.

[El Lobo]

Yeah that sounds like a good twist that they've not done before....it'll take them a good couple of years just working out how to tell the story without offending someone

[AndyMuller]

The worrying thing for me is how much they put into the story compared to how much they will be putting into live updates/GTA Online 2.0.

Depends how much the writers put into the story. Before Red Dead 2 came out, the worry was that the single player campaign was just a storefront for the online component, which was the main focus of the game. As it turned out, the RDR2 story was Dan Houser's precious. A bit too much story for many.

she will be black as well

but it's sort of sad we act like even that would be notable in 2022. Sigh.

Ah well. If the world is great - the real draw of their games - I'll buckle in. Want something a bit dirtier, heavier, less gloss. Not LA. Emergent gameplay too - stop scripting everything in missions

Missions out in the open world is a next step but Rockstar wanna be directors so much they won't do it. Though Hausers going....  shrug

Looking for GTA to be your "satirical" comedy god is also, let's be honest, naff - I enjoy it playing but it's not a comedy hallmark

[Red Viper]

They need to completely overhaul the gameplay mechanics and the awful loop of drive to this place, collect the thing, drive it back to where you started. It's old, it's tired and it's been done to death in both gta v and rdr2. The fact that they're saying this will be very different from previous games does give me a bit of confidence that this might be what they're doing but I guess we'll see.

[Garlicbread]

Female protagonist is long overdue. Looking forward to it!

[dalarr]

Vice City is a promising start. Hope this will be a massive single player game

I hope we get to go bowling with our cousin

[stevieG786]

Yeah something really different would be fun. It's not just about location, it's also about time period.

Something in London, or UK based (Manchester and Liverpool for example!) would be very cool but it'll never happen. They've been pretty clear about that.

If you assume the US is mandatory, then Florida would be a fun setting. Miami, Orlando, New Orleans. Loads to play with.

GTA 6 - United Arab Emirates

GTA6 - The Wirral Years.

[Malaysian Kopite]

Lots of early build GTAVI videos floating around:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GfPx1yAxQ0

[naYoRHa2b]

Yeah that's definitely GTA6.

[kopite321]

Yep...think that's real.

[ToneLa]

Yeah I am looking at this discussion and have looked through the videos. The sky matches RDR2's cloud system. Looks real enough.

A shame, seems a malicious targeted attack, with source code leaked.

But I remember seeing GTAV leaked on Vine back in the day.

[Fiasco]

Pretty sure the leaks are legit, it aligns with the talk a few months back about a Bonnie and Clyde like story and having a female protagonist.


From what I'm reading the videos are from 2019, so 3 years ago. That could be a good thing to indicate the release isn't that far away, maybe some time next year.

[ToneLa]

There is absolutely no question they're legit

I am a game Dev for the Playstation.... I recognise some of the devkit 

It's also wildly impressive for a fake. Yeah let's not debate it being fake

Let's get excited for plqying as Lucia

[voodoo ray]

there'd be no point someone going through that much effort to make a fake.

[ToneLa]

Robbery system looks a lot more involved.
Decent leak. Maybe old footage, but it's to me between alpha and beta here. 30fps all the way (means nothing that early in game dev)

Lucia is thicc. Doesn't look white af to me. Already seen twitter freakouts about this, but of course

Robbery system looks a bit more appealing than Yet More Heists. The clouds look the same volumetric kind as RDR2. Some of the animation is great, namely the crawling and the way Lucia hunkers into the wrong side of the cop car in the robbery scene

There's a few scenes with trees and the quality of light is hard to discern but there's parts of this that seem nicely realistic. Of course one of the first models they seem to have finished is a pedestrian bikini girl and of course there's a strip club 👙

Hope the black dude is playable in this, as opposed to only Lucia and Jason's Honeybunny and Pumpkin duo

Vice City subway and cop car branding is in albeit as placeholder. Everglades hovercraft action

Fabulous to see characters of different heights. Finally! Seems more variable in such respects

There is a video of a street corner and it reminded me of the "cars travelling at independent speeds" patent Rockstar put in a while back. Stuff like that and the RDR2 conversation system - and going from the debugger in the robbery scene they have quite some depth - is going to help the cohesion of the open world for sure

I hope narratively it spends more time being somewhat low key. GTAV was Hollywood Heists. I hope this is Florida Stick-ups.

As ever with GTA it'll live or die based on its open world but I'm up for this one. Doesn't feel very Vice City here, which conjures neon and the eighties. But who knows.

I find it interesting the button prompts are 1) PlayStation and 2) being white that's actually in the Sony PS5 compliance documents. It isn't using a Sony devkit afaik. Gtaforums seems to think it's crossgen but I'm not convinced but would not be surprised. think I see some of the PS4 devkit in it at points. Most is PC footage

Backwater robberies, coming soon. In 2024 or something lol

restaurant robbery video

[Fiasco]

Am I the only one seeing the nod to Pulp Fiction with the restaurant robbery scene? Could be a coincidence like, but Rockstar don't often do coincidences.

So, the old trope is true.

Anytime you say "am I the only one....." You're not

Looks like they've copy pasted that unmistakably ancient/shite Rockstar combat.

Well, it's alpha / beta... I wouldn't judge toooooo harshly

I really would love GOOD combat in these games though

It's the movement in Rockstar games that bugs me, input delay/lag, character doesn't stop when you do, their world building etc is fantastic, but that aspect ruined RDR2 in particular for me.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

This Scottish guy sounds like the fella from Love Fist (GTA Vice City)  (Caller #2)

"You talk about inner rage, yes! I am filled with rage.... because of this demonic, despotic, satanic dynasty..."


Listen to the guy off Love Fist. This has to be a wind up

I get it for rdr2 but play in first person and you don't have all the weird positioning to open drawers stuff.

You can also calibrate the controls a little bit (turn off hold to do things for example)

Can you stop quickly if you're running full pelt though?

[gazzalfc]

10 years old today. Debuted on the Playstation 3/Xbox 360. Still going today and has made approx $7.7 Billion over that time

[Zlen]

Could never get into it. Rockstar games, with the exception of RDR2, just bore me.

[voodoo ray]

and one day they'll finally release a new one. or at least an intro to gta online 2 anyway.

Well they've made a money printing machine haven't they but the fact we've not had a GTA6 makes me so mad.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

If it's going to be another multiple character story campaign I'm not going to bother.

I remember the anticipation I had for San Andreas (I queued outside a shop to get my preorder on day 1) and GTA IV, which I'd preordered online and actually came two days early, but because Rockstar have wrung the life out of the last entry, I'm just completely apathetic about GTA as a series/franchise, if you want to make me happy remaster the Max Payne series, or better yet release a new one.

[ScouserAtHeart]

Max Payne 1 to 3 (non-remastered of course) is available on the Xbox store. Still worth a playthrough for sure

[Malaysian Kopite]

Remedy are remaking the first 2 Max Payne games as well.

It is, 2 main protagonists.

[GreatEx]

I liked the multi character approach because it allowed to me indulge in various approaches - the sociopath, the boy from the hood with a heart of gold, the mob boss who wants to go straight but can't resist the allure of wealth and power. I have a tendency to try to be "good" in these games, like in RDR I would always try to settle duels non lethally and I haven't even held up a store that wasn't part of the main story arc. But GTAV gave us Trevor, which meant I could go on a meth fuelled murder spree. That element had kind of been lost to the franchise since GTA3's mute anti hero allowed us to imagine varying levels of darkness. Hopefully GTA6 gives us that dichotomy between its two lead characters.
