R* is cracking the whip, no more delays
>>738162495It's still gonna be ass
>>738162495>another R* movie game where the so called open world merely exists as a backdrop for on rails story missionsWhy would anyone with taste be excited for this?
>>738162783because it sets the benchmark for what games can be in broadness of scope for the next two generationsyou can be certain nothing will have more content, regardless of how much of it is disconnected and soulless, and with the last two entries you could also be reliably certain that nobody will have meaningfully superior physics or mechanics tech in about as long
>>738162783Because it's the hecking big crime game. Where everyone just murders and runs people over but if you ever ask them they get all weird and pretend like they use it as an upstanding citizen simulator
>>738162495I still don't get why people are so hyped about the most generic open world game. None of GTA's core gameplay is interesting or innovative. The stories are...okay if that's your kind of thing? And the setting is just a normal city in the real world.
>>738162495>no PC port on launchDOAit's not 2013 anymorePC gaming is more popular than ever
>>738162495Switch 2 port doko?
>>738162924
>>738162924this but unironically. i have zero intent of playing this on ps5/xsex/switch 2 because i know it's coming to PC and better in every measurable way.fuck judenstar.
>>738162917gta5 was the biggest thing ever in the 2010's. everyone in my college dorms in 2014 was playing this shit. especially when first person mode unlocked.
>>738162495This is kinda bordering on "Duke Nukem Forever" territory. It's been in dev for so long, there's no possible way it could come together into something good.I have very low hopes and even less confidence. Goddamn imagine releasing this and it sells like shit, and then is in the public eye for less time than a fart in the wind then the consumers move on to consume the next thing. How very sobering.
>>738162495It has been in development for over a decade, how the fuck is it taking so long? Also, what are the odds that they went back and changed shit after Trump won reelection in 2024?
>>738163035Yeah, but like...why? It's so plain.
>>738162495>multiple delays>their team is spread out across the globe>they also have an india teamThink there was another Prince of Persia remake incident and now they got to work twice as hard on the content they fucked up?
>>738162495*Kid shouting "Shazam!" is heard in the distance*
>>738162917Scope, detail, technology
>>738162924>PC
>>738162495They must be re-writing the entire game. Concord and Highguard probably have them scared.
Oh wow, it only took them nearly 13 years to crack that whip.
>>738162495>Pajeet Code AI 6
>>738162495100% chance they are behind schedule because higherups wasted months of dev time trying to force AI into the game.
>>738162495Fuck I hate modern Devs>Have a decade working on a game>Push back and push back the release date>Can't get a third pushback>Run to media and complain your boss wants you to get your work done.Thousands of works bee tea double you
>>738162893GTAV doesn't have more content than the popular MMOs and gacha games.
>>738162902In the only GTA game I played any significant portion of, which was IV, I didn't really go out of my way to kill random NPCs. The most enjoyable crime was being able to drive through red lights and drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid traffic.
>>738163068Plain is good for normies, it shouldn’t be alien or uncomfortable because they would shut and piss themselves about it being for nerds.
How long has this game been in development? Why are they crunching when they already started putting out trailors/teasers?
>>738163067It started development in 2014, it's gonna have Jeb Bush references.
>>738162495>3AM >in the morningthank god they clarified that, i thought it was 3AM in the evening
What does the average nu-GTA enjoyer look like?
>>738162495This is going to be a polished piece of shit.
>>738163137The game could be as broken as Fallout 76 and it would still sell like crazy. The only comparable thing there would be a quick loss of interest after release.
>>738163376In some countries AM stands for After Morning.
>overtime without payhow is that legal?
>>738163159The game has been in development since forever. They probably tried adding NFTs and crypto at some point.
>>738163409
You are losing the people, Rockstar.YOU ARE LOSING THE PEOPLE
>>738163503Yea I highly doubt it's without pay. Probably just a disgruntled worker making shit up.
Just delay it, people are going to consoom it no matter how long it takes
>>738163503Laws?
>>738163470Which countries are those?
>>738162495How do you crunch months in advance for a sequel to a game that came out 13 years ago?
>>738163124source: my ass
>>738163663They were hacked like a month ago
>>738163651Crunching is the only way to get any meaningful work done apparently. The game probably still doesn't have some basic gameplay systems finished.
>>738162783Because it's a huge game that normalfags can talk to other normalfags about.
>>738162495Did they finally get all the indians they need to work on the game
>>738163613Sony and Microsoft are probably pressuring Rockstar.
>>738162495if anyone ever expects you to work overtime for no compensation, shoot them.The only finite resource you have in life is time. If your employer is demanding you expend time for no compensation that's no different morally than them holding you at gunpoint for your wallet.
>>738163317It's actually kind of hard to say for sure but fanboys keep pushing the original dev table forward to make it seem like it was in dev hell less. But in all likelihood development began around 2016-17 when red dead 2 was gearing towards release
>>738162917>I still don't get why people are so hypedPopularity is one hell of a drug to some people. The MCU movies are also trash, but still extremely popular. Same deal here. People want to be part of these big events.>>738162893>mechanics tech>>738163117>technologyWhat do you mean by this, exactly?I'm not a GTA fan, but the thing that might excite me is, if they incorporate the "roleplaying" aspect into the core game. People seem to be really into that, and I think it has some potential, if it was less janky.
>>738163124now lets see those fiveM numbers
>>738162495ROCKSAAR GIB PAY, SAAR
>tasks that take 5-6 monthsThat's creating the entire game. Obviously nobody is given this task.
>>738162573yep, can't get anything but shit out of jeets
too bad they're publically traded and have to make deadlines established for shareholder benefit instead of something reasonable based on realistic workloads by actual employees
>>738164054Brother this shit has been in development since 2016
Why not just delay?
>>738163550Now you're gonna be in trouble.
>>738162573Fpbp
This game won't flop, but I get the distinct feeling that it won't be some insane AAAA universally praised mega hit like R* is hoping it will be.
>>738163645countries that don't really exist, like finland
>>738162893>ContentGTAV didn't have shit. everything was funneled to the Online game and even then it was the same boring heist shit over and over that barely pays out anything.
>>738164027>Rockstar of David is working jeets into the graveHoly based
>>738162495>Bengaluru
>>738164126Actually, it's going to have more cultural impact than San Andreas did. Lucia is going to be more popular and more loved than Carl Johnson.
>>738162917It's like how Duke Nukem Forever wasDuke Nukem isn't exactly innovative or crazy, people just wanted it to finally come out after so longIn fact, even the same jokes and memes about DNF are being made about GTA 6, albeit on a larger scale
>>738162495Seeing this game flop will give me the biggest metaphorical orgasm ever.
>>738164085But 2016 was only 2 years ago...
>>738164251Doesn't look too bad from afar.
I found GTA4 and 5 boring and just finished the stories and never touched either of them ever again after finishing the story. It wasnt like that with GTA3, VC and SA.
>>738164126Didn't the game cost something insane like $2 billion dollars to make? Anything other than being a massive hit that totally dominates the market is a flop on a budget like that.
>>738162924Normies will buy a PS5 to play it
I feel like video games are not really in the same spot they were when GTA5 came out. It was a totally different time as fucking everyone had an Xbox 360 or PS3 and they were cheap as fuck in 2013. I dunno if people will be that bothered to buy a PS5 or Xbox to play GTA6 as they are so expensive. The game will obviously sell ok but nowhere near as good as GTA5 did.
>>738164673Actually I feel like GTA6 is the only thing to sell consoles because there's not a single game that has as much normie backing as this game. AAA has deteriorated so much there's nothing out there where people can confidently say they'll buy it
>>738163503I assume the employee is an idiot who signed a contract for salary based pay instead of hourly pay and then complained they're not getting compensated properly.
>>738163124No wonder they bought cfx, fivem was making them look stupid
>>738163503Why do you think every company is outsourcing their workforce to India and similar shitholes? It's because these shitholes don't have laws forcing them to give their employees things like a decent pay, reasonable working hours and days off.
>>738164126It's going to sell a shit-ton and then create an entire new wave of critique essay videos complaining about how mediocre it actually is, and how Rockstar has fallen.Just look at the degradation from GTA 4 to 5 and you can immediately tell 6 is going to be miserable.
>>738162495And then they fire them all the day of the release party. Gaming is lowkey evil af as a business practice. Still not paying 100 dollars.
>>738165118Anyone who works overtime without pay is an idiot who simps for their boss. If you get paid a salary then do your 40 hours a week and go home, your work is not your life.
>>738165191Even if GTA 6 sells like crazy it won't make back its dev costs. What rockstar wants is a new GTAO to sell shark cards to kids for flying motorcycles. That is the make or break for GTA6.
>>738163864If you have a cushy job and a few times a year you have to do a little extra work it's not the end of the world.
>>738165191Selling a shit-ton isn't enough when the budget of the game goes into the billions. It has to become a game that dominates the market for years in order to recoup the costs, otherwise it is a failure. That's probably why they're so worried about releasing it, just doing "quite good" or even "extremely good" isn't enough.
the only people excited for gta in 2026 are normies and third worlders
>>738165381What's the difference between and normie and a normalfag???
>>738165426normie is the pozzed form of normalfag
GTA 6 would've been done last year under the old regime with crunch, it's because of the media like that Jew Schreier that it's taking forever cause of the crunch complaining.
>>738165308
>>738165426about tree fiddy
>>738162495Can't wait for the people that want better standards for workers to reward this behavior for 100 dollars plus mtx
>>738162495>muh heckin free fud>muh heckin moooost hioped prudict>you can advance in the company but not reallypure fucking slave mentality.they deserve the abuse
>>738165381>only people excited for the game is 90% of the world population
>>738162495well they've spent a decade completing a game that shouldn't take more than 5 years, so it seems fair to me
>>738162495How the fuck do you have constant delays and STILL need to crutch? Actual game dev answers because is it just then jacking off for years then doing work for a few months?
>>738165594they outsourced the things on the screen to dalits
>>738162495I hope it's bad so their struggle is for nothing.
Race mixing propaganda
>>738165632Cope harder. Latinas won. Sorry. Latinx won.
>>738162893Exanima has better physics and interactivity and it's an abandoned game from some Ukrainian autists
>>738162495So prepare for rushed unoptimized bullshit which they will have to fix in post but never actually fix all the major problems.
>>738163864The vidya industry is actually just a loose cartel, and if you don't work in shitty conditions for one cartel member then you don't get work anywhere else
>>738165171That's also why they like hiring foreign workers, because if they don't eat all the shit they're told then they get their worker's visa revoked and get deported Modern slavery
>>738165594GTA 6 is huge and probably has bugs popping up around every corner, they need to scour every inch of it and do every mission over and over again until it's sufficiently polished.
>>738164251>look up street in Bengaluru>see this hell
It's not coming out this year. It's AT LEAST 2-3 years away still.
>>738162495I’ve been telling you faggots that this culture is one of the worst parts of AAA and why so many products fail. For the first 4-5 years of a AAA product’s development, the devs literally do not do anything. At most they work for an hour and a half a day. They browse the internet, they get a drink at the office barcade, they fool around at the foosball tables and sit in beanbag chairs shooting the shit. Then the publisher knocks on the door and asks why you’ve missed all your milestones, the managers are forced to crack the whip, and all of a sudden everyone cries about muh crunch culture, JASON SCHREIER SAVE ME PLEASEIf you talk to any person that manages a team and is in charge of deliverables at a AAA company, they will tell you verbatim that if you try to get the employees to sit and do real work BEFORE the “crunch” period, the employees will quiet quit, they’ll threaten to unionize, they’ll bitch and whine and when there was more job mobility in the industry a few years ago, they would quit and cite an abusive atmosphere. Game devs in the west, especially in places like America, just fucking SUCK. They are lazy, entitled, good for nothing retards that put in minimum effort into everything, and then cry and do underhanded shit when the boss tells them to do their fucking jobs
>>738165858At this point they are probably just getting it to a playable state and then going to do a "fix it later" approach.
>>738165884>places like AmericaCalifornia and Austin, TX do not count as America
>>738165884>Game devs in the west, especially in places like America, just fucking SUCK.But saar the pic literally says they're in Bengaluru, India.
>>738165915Rockstar games are an event onto itself. If it came out in CP2077 shape there'd be riots on the streets.
>>738162981Kek so that truth nuke crap is brown esl bullshit? Should have known
>>738166052I can't wait to buy a subscription
>>738164017Pathetically small and included in the overall count. It's just a few highly exclusive e-celeb discord servers populating those lobbies.
>>738165915That's not how they operate, they don't want to waste time fixing it after launch when they have to start making online content.
>overtime without payunbelievable people put up with this
>>738163194Oh yeah it's normalfags pissing and shitting themselves over games. Not you faggots lmao
Can anyone tell me what the fuck is taking them so long? It's an open world game where you shoot people and do missions for wacky niggers of all complexions, what could possibly be so complex and big that they had to spend 8 years and billions of dollars to implement?
>>738163124PC gamers have higher standards for online games. Maybe if GTAO wasn't broken p2p garbage with completely unchecked hackers, it would have a larger playerbase
A series wher the only good games in it ever came out on the Playstation 2.It's the Simpsons of video games. Slop living on and on based on people ascribing its past glory to the new slop coming out.Half of /v/ wasn't even ALIVE when GTA was good.
>>738162917Same reason why the browns on /v/ get hyped for every new dogshit gacha despite them all looking the same and playing the same.Stupid people are in the eternal pursuit of jingling keys.
>>738166375I really doubt these delays have anything to do with it's single player campaign, that thing's probably been done for years, now.I think it is all about their RP inspired multiplayer they've been working on.They're basically trying to turn GTA Online into a slightly less crime focused MMO, and since not everyone is a criminal in RP, that means they've set themselves up to creating a ton of content that's not just racing and shooting and doing heists.
the quality control at rockstar must be insane, because jeets do everything half assed, you can't trust them with anything.
>>738166375They had to rewrite most of it because it was ultra woke but then that became less popular
>>738162783because normies are retarded
>>738162573Yep. The GTA/RDR formula is dated as fuck.
Turns out that having 10,000 indians doesn't increase productivity
I want it to fail. I want the entire "gaming industry" to crash and burn. I want to go back to 2D and GAME OVER. Make Gaming Great Again
>>738166591i always thought it was women and trannies more than jeets
>>738166375It's cutting edge everything with the best graphics, biggest world, most advanced AI, millions of lines of dialogue etc.
>>738166591>>738166659India has the best moast smarters coders in the world, fool. The boss of the biggest software company - Microsoft - is Indian for a reason. India has the bestest brains for computing.
>>738163936For awhile rockstar with GTA was at the forefront in novel games technology, in particular npc reactions and driving physics, but also vehicle deformation and other minor details you'd expect to be overlooked or not thought about at all that build up to a more immersive experience. In the older TECHNOLOGY threads MGS and GTA were amongst the more frequently posted games.That was Rockstar of more than 10 years ago though, so who's to say if any of that detailed passion might return again.
>>738166713unironically trannies and women can do their job well, just don't put them it management/creative roles and you are good.
>>7381629241 year console exclusivethen 1 year new gen exclusivethen 1 year EGS exclusiveI just hope DokeV comes out in the mean time
>>738165426One won't get you banned from tiktok.
>>738166591Izzat and Jugaad are important words to understand.Not doing what you're told to do and half-assing what you do are key Indian values.
>>738162495I always laugh when hearing devs complain about crunch time in an industry that now has 5+ years of lead time for nearly every product.
>>738162495How the fuck are they having trouble making a giant empty open world? Do they not know how copy and paste works?
>>738163663>NOOO MY NARRATIVE
>>738166973The most ambitious GTA with a budget in the billions isn't gonna copy and paste anything
>>738166973I don't know if you noticed, but there's subtle difference between gta sa and gta iv
It’s gonna be the biggest video game launch of all time. 20 million copies sold at launch easily.
>>738162495The problem with this approach is that sure you can get work done faster but the problem is that not all work should be pushed and rushed as that creates bugs and that leads to catastrophes like Cyberjunk 2020 which is still broken to this very day almost 6 years later.
>bengaluruIt's cooked, JeeTA is finished as an IP.
>>738162495>overtime with no paythis should legit be illegal
>>738162495Games getting delayed till next spring btw
>>738167162I don’t think it will be buggy. Red dead 2 wasn’t buggy and neither was gta5 or la noir.
>>738166772>npc reactions and driving physics, but also vehicle deformation and other minor detailsHmm, okay, thanks for clearing that up. Personally I don't agree with these, however. They were nothing novel, not even when GTA3 did them. But I guess I can see how WELL all of them came together in that game, as a whole.>>738166665>Make Gaming Great AgainYou can start by making games yourself. But of course you are not going to. You just want to complain.
>>738166953Like wtf were they doing? Did they all take vacations for the past 10 years, getting paid for the privilege to say "yeah, I'm a dev on GTA6." Now that people actually want a game from them and nobody is accepting further delays they are all collectively going "oh shit"?
>>738167306Probably working on gta online
>>738167254The odds of it coming out in Spring are low. They want the holiday money. Meaning if it did get delayed it would be Fall 2027.
>>738162495>10+ years in devThere better not be ONE frame drop. Also no day one patch needed because you've had a decade to test and optimize, right? Not a single glitch, not a single crash.
>>738165334But your world is ending, every second of every day. Don't waste it working for free for people who are going to fire you a week after it comes out so they can funnel your wage into a bonus package for some dipshit who sure as shit never worked for free.
>>738162917GTA was always dogshit for normalfags, horrible controls/gameplay/missions/shooting it's basically a game for people who don't play games and don't know any better. It used to at least have funny, edgy writing but now it's woke and pozzed so it has nothing at all.
>>738163124PC has FiveM, literally no need for shark cards. Also the fact console players so easily buy into predatory practices is cancer
>>738163117>Scope, detail, technologyBack then, sure. But not anymore
>>738164474PS5s will be like $2000 by the time Rockstar of David pushes this turd out.
>>738162495what could they possibly be tasked with this far into development that takes 5-6 months?
>>738164251>Do the Pindia challenge>Immediate view is pic
>>738162495>Just one more delay, Arthur!JK, crunch they ass. I want to see hospitalizations. I want employees crying at their desks. I want full on mental breakdowns. I want an full on run hide fight situation at rockstar offices.
>>738166713A lot of the best programmers troon out
>>738167909Bug fixing/polishing and testing.
>>738167306they're jerking off on social media, and think that's a normal workday.
>>738162495>pajeet QA whining about long hoursgta 6 will flop and it will be jeets fault
>>738166760Trying too hard.
>>738168440Very smarters observe saar. Are you Microsoft software company?
>>738162495Sounds like they need THE BENZ!
>>738168407Indians aren't afraid of trains. The train is the modern jagannath. It is sacred to be crushed by it.
>>738168642damn, they really are a super race to not even be fased by 200+ plus tonnes of metal racing past them.
>>738168642It's the opposite actually. The Indian has to proof they aren't scared by getting hit by one to show its no big deal to his peers.
>>738168509This isn't convincing at all. Do better.
>>738167569Okay but then don’t act surprised when R* doesn’t care about a day one PC release
>>738162917>world is going to shit>universal draft soon to die on behalf of Israel>no future to look towards beyond abject poverty and a quiet suicide in the river somewhere
if they have worked on the game for 10 years why the sudden rush near the end?why in hell did they release the reveal trailer before they were ready?do they want to be cyberpunk so bad?
>>738162495Calling it now, GTA6 will be same quality as StarfieldAnother game killed by jeets
ANOTHER DELAY COOKING UP
>>738168928I doubt GTA online will even be running at launch anyway they'll give it a few weeks so people play the story.
>>738163651JUST WATCH AND LEARN
>>738162495https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIEVqFB4WUo
>be the ideas guys in england>outsource all actual work to india>worked fine for starfield :)
>>738169214This nigga retarded, Rockstar India has been working with R* since RDR1
They're getting paid overtime.
>>738162917It is morally greyWell designedhas great ai, customization, physics, and simulation elementshas a good campaign with a lot of stuff to doit might not seem much but better than the anime crap that people pretend is good
>>738162495>fire the old guard devs for going to pubs all the time and crunching near deadlines>brag about turning Rockstar into a "real" company>end up doing the same shit, except nobody is having a good time, and no work is getting doneDEI-hires and HR Departments have been a disaster for all these companies.
>>738162917GTA is an icon of video game. Each games have been subjected to countless controversies surrounding vidya. Free publicity and memes. CJ being ported everywhere. People are practically in it just for the name alone, not for the game.
>>738169852Devs have bitched about crunch culture at R* for nearly 2 decades. They wouldn’t have fired the old guard in the first place if people didn’t complain in the first place. The report that came out before RDR2 came out was scathing
>>738169691cope, PoopeshIndians have been involved with Microsoft for a long time but only recently has Windows gone to shit
>>738162783Did you play RDR2? It was a masterpiece. Only BotW and Crimson Desert are in the same league.
>>738169172They've only been working on it "in earnest" since 2020, and there was allegedly one big rework that probably fucked a lot of what they'd already done. For a game of the scope they're trying to make, even a six year dev cycle is crunching. It's almost an identical scenario to Crimson Desert, which was revealed in 2020 and only just came out after a significant rework that changed the story and crammed in Zelda mechanics. And that was still a mess on launch, they're updating it practically every day it seems.
>>738166772>and driving physics
>>738170106Aren’t you basically making a point indians aren’t the cause or it would have gone to shit a long time ago
>>738169838>Well designedNot really.
>>738170117>RDR2NTA but I tried it for a few hours when it was on PS plus. It was extremely blurry, the combat was mediocre and the story moved at a glacial pace, yet still managed to see several peak woke moments. Couldn't force myself to keep playing.
>>738162495>free food is niceWhy are golems like this? You get juices for a hundred dollar worth of work every day, don't thank massah for the 5 dollar pizza.
>>738162495good work harder i want my fucking game NOW
>>738163503they are working for the most anticipated game ever :) they gladly do it for free ;)
>>738162495Kek, get to work shartjeet! No more breaks! No more delays! We want our slop and we want it now! I want every Karen in middle management we have on this ASAP! call every faggot we have in the office i need 100 pride flags drawn by tomorrow! Get all of our animators to work overtime! The child drag show strip tease cutscene cannot wait another day! Tell every coder we have to ensure there isnt a single Crack in any of the invisible walls! We cant allow the players rockets and bullets to reach the parade! MOVE SHARTJEET MOOOOOVVVEEEE!!!
>>738162917it's for white kids dreaming of being badass criminals that kill the cops and fuck bitches.
>>738163503>legal
>>738170534The big rework was scrapping the PS4 progress and restarting it as next gen exclusive, that old leak footage was clearly PS4 and is dated around 2020.
>>738163503its called salaried
>>738167495>xe expects a game made for consoles to not have frame drops, crashes or bugs that need to be patched 1 day inlol this is what you get when companies focus on consoles
>>738169974Is it really crunch when they had nearly a decade to work on it? This isn't old Rockstar that would release a new game every year, what the fuck have they been doing since RDR2?
>pajeet pajeet pajeetsWhere is this coming from, the pajeets were hired to port the trilogy. I'm sure plenty of satellite studios are working on this but their core development teams are not pajeets. Get some new material
>>738171176GTA has always been an incredibly ambitious series, there are things done in these games that can really only be accomplished at this scale and budget. I have to imagine that reigning in everything to an actual deliverable product at the end of the development cycle is a fucking nightmare and a ton of stuff probably gets cut
>>738170117>Crimson Desert>in the same league as RDR2lol lmao
>>738171327yea, its better
>>738162495No matter how hard it is to push it out, it's still a turd.
>tasks that take 5-6 months in 2-3that just means they're being asked to work a reasonable amount instead of doing nothing like most game devs
>>738171176RDR2 took 8 years itself, this game is actually on a faster schedule.
>>738171327Hey, Dutch! pls don't kill me after realizing everything you worked towards is bullshit.10/10 best game ever.
>>738171070Some "prestigious" workplaces have legitimate chefs on staff in their cafeterias that have you eating better than you could reasonably hope to on your own. Providing things like this makes it easier to ride people into insane amounts of overtime. Ends up being a good deal for the company in the end when you are giving them thousands upon thousands in free labor
I can't think of anything more pointless than posting FUD about a GTA game
>>738165510>retarded games journalist who doesn't know the difference between profit and incomeGTA's target audience
>>738171167Salary is for managerial positions. Why would you ever accept a job in an industry known for working long hours as a salaried worker?
>>7381691727 years of "research" (vacations, constant bonuses, and office orgies), 2 years of trying to explain to management/publishers as to why every deadline has been missed, 6 months of negotiations to prevent a walk out, and then 6 months of actual work
>>738170117RDR2 is the barely interactive movie game, I was referring to.

>>738170694No, I'm not. When jeets have to work on critical systems instead of menial tasks, they will shit it up. Do you really think jeets were involved in making of Windows 7 kernel? Well, they definitely worked on Windows 11 kernel and Creation Engine 2. We know how those turned out
>>738162495Whats the last good game that Rockstar made?
>>738165510>>738171698>source take-two interactive>earns a billion>it's actually 800 million>it didn't actually earn 800 million because that is just raw sales and doesnt take in to account development costs, marketing costs and other overheadsJust let the npcs swallow this corporate bullshit, they will never learn.

Got my fill of open world GTA with Andreas and that was it for me forever., so how can we crash this plane with no survivors?The more Concords, the better.
The psychosis about indians is so stupid. They are competent workers just as much as anyone else. The actual problem is they are basically willing to do slave labor because their country sucks so much, which drags salaries and working conditions down for everyone else
>>738162917Good casual driving mechanics with really pretty and detailed car models, serviceable shooting, usually some sort of business management side mode that feeds into the main game, a lot of minigames to immerse you into the world like taxi simulator, game arcades, etc., story that is better than the average videogame story, tons of customization options from clothing to houses and cars and probably some shit I'm forgetting about. Point is, there's a lot of shit to do.These games are like the playable versions of Sopranos or Scarface, saying it isn't interesting or inovative just because it's popular is just being a contrarian, I agree it doesn't deserve so much hype it gets 100 million views in a trailer, those games peaked with VC and SA, but its been so long since the last one people just want to see it released already.I think having more than 1 protagonist is detrimental to the game and they will probably make the actual gameplay stiff like RDR2, so I'm not really excited, will get it in 5 years when it's "only" $40 on Steam.
>>738172014But they are bad games. Remove the pretty visuals and you got nothing.

GTA6 is going to flop because China doesn't care about any american DEI crime simulator games and China in the biggest most important market in the world right now.
>>738172193Idk what to tell you. Since GTA4 I've always found the physics kind of satisfying, it feels good to drop someone in these games. The mission structure has felt kind of dated for a decade now but hopefully they've addressed that a little bit
>>738169838>morally greyHow is this an inherit positive? It's just a storytelling style, and there's a million morally gray stories out there that do it way better.>has great aiHuh? What about the gta ai is any good?>good campaignActual dogshit take. The missions are the most barebones "go to point A, shoot some guys with a bad gun system, watch a cutscene, now go to point B". It's terrible
>>738164673>cheapest series s used in my area is still $200I'm assuming this stupid nigger game will be $80, if I could get it used for $100 maybe I would, then again probably not, still too much for only 1 game
>>738162495when people tell me about unpaid overtime I laugh and walk out the door
>>738162495>R* is cracking the whipWow, R* is cracking the whip on R*! That'll teach em!
>>738172367I'd say the things that they do well are scale, animation quality, and opportunities for really light immersive RP. I like in RDR2 you can spend a lot of time fishing or hunting, stroll into the saloon and read the newspaper etc.
>>738162783Ate you retarded?
>>738162495San Andreas on PS2 was the last good GTA game I played. I bought V on PC release day, and that game is the reason I don't pay full price or buy new games anymore. It had shit single player, and online had everything decent behind a paywall and was set up to be a tedious second job to force you to pay more money for shark cards. Then there was the lazy Definitive Edition cash grab. I'm too old and not retarded enough to give these companies my money. If I want to play GTA again I'll play SA again or pirate IV and finally get around to playing that. I bet both those games will turn out to be better that VI.
>>738172168my understanding is that theyre only as competent as far as you can review their work. if you ask them for 3d assets with so and so polycount then they will deliver it because they can't really jugaad something like that. a cursory glance will tell you if it's fucked up. if they're too incompetent to deliver on the first batch of work then you tell them to fuck off. but if you tell them to make a whole project from scratch, or even really write code in general, then they will take shortcuts, lie and generate crap work, and you won't find out until it's too late (see: the ubisoft prince of persia thing)being able to hire a company to make a thing for you and trust them not to scam you is more of a western phenomenon, since we have laws and shit. for me personally i think western countries should stipulate that every penny lost to foreign scams etc. and is directly deducted from whatever government trade deal is going on, so that the lazy thirdie governments actually bother prosecuting their criminals
>>738172298>also live service slopI'd rather play Sleeping Dogs and pass it off as a Chinese made game than whatever the fuck soulless garbage China is actually making.No thank you. Giving them all super hero powers clearly demonstrates that they have no idea about the tone or themes of these games.
>>738172358are you retarded? everyone is going to buy it
>>738172508That has nothing to do with my post. I wasn't even the original anon who asked the question. I just saw some dumb takes and wanted to shit on them

>>738172619No one cares about your country
Well thank god they're doing unpaid overtime because god forbid I don't get GTA6 this year. I'm sure we can agree it was worth it when people have collective orgasms over the detailed wrinkle simulations on Jason's ballsack.
>>738172740That's why people are buying a console just to play this one game. For just that level of detail.

>>738172693Whats your point? modern Rockstar is shit.But the principle applies to these bug men too.The game looks soulless and boring to anyone who wants a real GTA experience. It's just a mish mash of random shit. Who the fuck is asking for an anime art style in these sorts of games anyway? who is asking to swing around like spiderman? do they even understand a general direction?

>>738172924I guess you could say maybe a Saints Row The Third fan might have enjoyed that or whatever. SR had like two serious games before it went all in the whacky tone.
Tired of games taking so fucking long to release because of scope creep. At the rate some big name games are taking, you'll be lucky to see maybe three or four more entries in your lifetime for some series, and it's not even guaranteed they'll be good.
>>738172924>modern Rockstar is shit>and doesn't make real GTA experiences anymore>thus this non-real anime GTA experience is totally gonna not destroy the non-real GTA experience

>>738173030Who wants to play a GTA game where you have super hero powers? god the chinks are as delusional as Volition was when making SR4/Gat out of Hell, Agents of MayhemIt will be forgettable trash. They don't understand themes or tone. You advertised it as a GTA killer by saying 'China won' so i will tell you that you're retarded normalfag cattle for not understanding GTA themes. If Rockstar makes something shit that doesn't equate to China doing something right.

>>738173478>CCPbot goes into meltdown that someone is referring to his game being late Volition cringe and has no valid responseThat's how i destroyed the image of your whole game. By comparing it to the later games in a series that no one on /v/ liked. But it's not that those games don't do well financially. It's targeting traditional open world slop and that's a money printing machine. The chinese crap is free so it doesn't need to sell. It just needs to monetize appropriately and meet some target projections. I'm not sure if I'm arguing with a rockdrone or a chinese shill at this point who is randomly praising Rockstars sales numbers.It seems we've got a case of both posters infesting these threads. Both nefarious individual kinds of posters.

I show up for my 40 hours a week because that is what I agreed to when I applied for the job.The nanosecond my 8 hours for the day are up, I stop what I'm doing, I punch out, I get my stuff, and I leave. I will not stay past my appointed time unless there's an emergency or I need to fix something I screwed up.If there's some urgent need where you really need me to stay later or change my hours for a day, I expect to be compensated and asked ahead of time because despite what management might believe, I do in fact have a life outside of work.

>>738164027>if you complain to HOD it's uselessI assume he means HR or HR-equivalent, in which case no shit it's useless. HR is not there to help employees, HR is there to protect the company first and foremost. They will side with management 99.9% of the time, the only exception being is if management did something so outrageously stupid that the company is risking a lawsuit if they don't step in(notice, even in this case where they side with you it's literally only because it might harm the company).Tip: If management ever asks you to do something sketchy or against policy, tell them to e-mail you a direct order to do it so you have a paper trail to prove they did in fact ask you to do it. If it turns into he said-she said you will lose every time.
>>738162917>metaflop
>>738162495>work to be done in fewer months than normal>toll on mental healthSo what you're saying is that work quality is inevitably compromised and the finished product is going to be a buggy mess.
>>738162495Yes man, crunch famously leads to no issues on release and no ill will from anyone.
>>738162917>I still don't get why people are so hyped about the most generic open world gameIt's a playable Breaking Bad or Sopranos, people wanna shoot people in the head and they can do that safely in a video game. Also for a lot of people it's their only escape from their wagie slave existence.GTA stopped being video games post San Andreas, they're just movies now. Also they're somewhat of an escape valve for societal stress and for poking fun at republicans/conservatives. (the big truck in the trailer is called VAPID but the supercar that's flashier and 5 times more expensive/pollutant is called Infernus or some other cool sounding name). It's basically a series which offers escapism for lower middle class people, a segment of society that's vanishing faster and faster into poverty, mostly young liberal types who fell for the trap of higher education in a time period when elite overproduction is reaching critical levels. Maybe the writing got changed to be less anti-conservative after drumpf got elected but i'm not counting on it. Also they kicked a lot of former big names from the studio which also went through a maoist purge of "fratboy culture" and everybody in the industry is waiting with baited breath because this is a make or break moment for the western games industry.
>>738162495Based Rockstar
>>738171997this must go hard if you are a brown gachashitter
>>738162917I genuinely think people are probably more interested in the idea of a new GTA than they are actually getting one at this point. The game is gonna come out, largely be the same shit R* has been making for decades, and people who spent years playing GTA or Bully or Red Dead or whatever are going to have a come to jesus moment where they realize they don't actually give a shit about R*'s gameplay formula anymore.
>>738174230crunch is why games used to be good. Madden was elite every year until they were forced to be pussies.
>>738173997>these modern games are so terrible>whether they're made by amerimutts or chicoms>and no one on /v/ likes any of this garbage>so what does it matter if they're incredibly successful>what /v/ thinks is what really matters and nothing else*looks around /v/*
>>738174197HOD probably means Head of DepartmentWhich is useless probably because they're the ones setting such ridiculous goals
>>738174367Ah then yeah in that case no shit it's useless complaining to them because they're most likely the ones doing the thing you're complaining about in the first place.
>>738174305No it will a huge pop culture moment with everyone playing it and shows like South Park will make entire episodes about GTA 6 parodying it.
>>738174435I'm sure this is what you have to tell yourself to stay sane after this level of sunk cost. Kingdom Hearts fans were pretty stoked when 3 released, right?
>>738173995>delaying is a good thingretard takeit got delayed because jeet office were left to their own devices for years and shat out an unplayable messtime and budget wasted, hence the delaysdelays can only be good when you're polishing a diamond, not a turd
>>738174480Already happened with RDR2 and that game wasn't half as hyped as GTA 6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUWSDErHpRA
>>738174141Don't you have some vibe coding to do mr jeet
>>738174523thats still a good reason to delay it
>>738174585do you have an answer to my question or not?
>>738174554I don't think you understand that a lower amount of hype is what allowed RDR2 to exist in a different plane. GTA 6 has an entire world of expectations on its shoulders. Anything less than the best game ever made is going to be met with some level of disappointment. Can't pretend to know the level of fallout that might transpire, but you'd better hope you're right about it being amazing, because if it isn't, things are gonna be really fucking funny around here for a while.
>>738174663youre mentally retarded if you think GTA6 will be criticized unless it literally can't run on PS5s, there is zero percent chance of backlash
>>738174747Sure thing man, whatever you say. See you in 6 months.
>>738172364The missions are a generic complaint. The open world design itself is hot garbage. If you ignore the story missions there is quite literally nothing meaningful to do. You can rampage defenseless NPCs and screw around with the physics, but that can't carry the game. It loses its novelty the second time you massacre a town. Shallow mini-games are the only thing left that provide any structured gameplay.
>>738174663I don't see Rockstar improving on their formula in any way. The story will be meandering and the writing will be as subtle as a brick to the face. The missions will be frustrating cinematic slop where you're playing as a stuntman who wasn't allowed to read the script and you'll fail all the time for not sticking to the extremely rigid script. The open world will be detailed, polished and full of shitty unfun minigames, but it'll look great and have lots of details that don't actually affect gameplay. This is how it's been since V and they have very little incentive to change when that and RDR2 got smoke blown up its ass for years.
>>738174802its going to be the best selling game of all times, why are you even pretending it will flop? is your mom gay or something
>>738174937i dont understand why they are so strict about the missions. theres all sorts of details and tricks in the open world aspects yet they pigeon hole you in the missions instead of making it interesting. I mean at least give me some David Cage shit if youre gonna make the missions a series of cut scenes.
>>738174891>The open world design itself is hot garbageNTA but I would say this was only really a problem in V where the AI and physics were dumbed down heavily and the map was shittily designed and mostly empty, so it wasn't nearly as fun to dick around as in the older games. At least the PS2 games weren't afraid to be gamey and had fun cheats and SA had all those RPG and sim mechanics on top to make your actions in the open world more meaningful. Even IV, for all its flaws, at least was a fun game to fuck around with because the physics were intricate, the AI didn't go full retard (for the most part) and hand to hand combat didn't instantly end the second you got a hit on someone.>Shallow mini-games are the only thing left that provide any structured gameplayThis is somewhat true and I'm not a fan of most of them. SR2 handled sidecontent way better ngl.
>>738173315GTAV has physics-defying flying rocket bikes and a minigame where a person randomly turns into teenwolf
>>738162495>overtime without pay>forced to work until 3 amlmao, actual slavery. doesn't the US have any labor laws at all?
>>738175082Starting from 3 it's pretty obvious Rockstar wants GTA to be half a crime city sandbox and half a Scorsese "tribute", and the latter half has been gaining dominance over time. You can genuinely see the cinematic focus increase starting from VC with the bigger focus on cutscenes and themed missions. While 3's missions were pretty freeform, VC threw a bunch of themed missions if I remember correctly (haven't played it in ages, feel free to correct me) and San Andreas had a whole bunch of scripted missions like the infamous Smoke shooting nigs on a train one, the breaking in stealth mission or that awful one where you rescue Sweet and his girl from some house full of scripted ambushes. IV and particularly V doubled and tripled down on it, and I'm guessing it's to make the missions more unique compared to the open world content and give the games more of a sense of identity (GTA is genuinely the only open world game out there that has never really had much of an identity gameplay wise compared to Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs or even fucking Watch Dogs). It's just too bad that most people don't even seem to like the cinematic mission design, going by how few people bother to finish GTA games.
>>738162917GTA4 and GTA5 killed GTA for me San Andreas and Vice City were the peak of GTA
>>738172150all better than gta.
Why are people even excited for this when it's being made by a team that has never made a video game before?
>>738175285If you pay attention it says Bangalore
>>738172019in gta progressing the story used to unlock some stuff like own mansions and turfs and whatever.dunno if thats still the case.
>>738162917Westoids have quite literally nothing else left, every single other franchise, studio, and even indie game genre has been made shit, zogged, or both.Yet they still cling to the hope GTA6 is somehow going to revitalize the industry and make the west get back on top, getting things back to how they were before they went to shit.A literal multibillion industry is currently being held up by copium and a prayer, nobody wants to admit the westoid industry is done for, and when GTA6 comes and inevitably doesn't fix all their problems, the westoid industry will basically crash and burn.
Listen I don't need the game to be good, I just need it to pump my T2 stocks enough so that I can sell it all after release.
>>738162495it's actually insane how badly R* have fumbled the launch of this game. It'll still sell well obviously but the hype around it has died down substantially. I wouldn't be surprised if it under-performed initially.
>>738162917>I still don't get why people are so hyped about the most generic open world game.They are hyped because they want to port gta 6 online to Five M.
>>738175606>the westoid industry will basically crash and burnI hope so tbqh.
>>738170117I played for about 2hrs before I gave up. Most boring shit I've ever played in my life. Genuinely a walking simulator.
>>738162495They had 13 fucking years and 2+ billion dollars to make a new game in the franchise where you just drive around a city and shoot people with basic cover shooter gameplay.
>>738163067Women developers. Trust me. Women are fucking up this game big time.
>>738170117There is nothing un RDR2 open world and neither in GTA games, it's just like less than 20 side missions with boring stories and everything else is pointless, play a The Witcher 3 for good side quests and a Yakuza game for meaningful side content>>738171327Crimson Desert mogs RDR2
>>738162917Because there's genuinely no other games like GTA. Others have tried in the past, like Saints Row, but nothing comes close to the attention to detail and scale of the GTA games. It's been 13 years since GTA V and not one game has attempted to eat its lunch because no other dev can even try.
>>738169493It's how capitalism works, you dumb commie tranny
/v/ is going to be unusable without filters when the marketing campaign for GTA VI kicks into full gear. Thanks for looking.
>>738162495I guess the extra development time is for all the anti-chud measures. >unpaid overtimeLmao. That's literal slavery.
>>738175690They haven't even started yet the marketing is beginning in the summer, they have 6 months to plaster GTA 6 on every billboard and street corner and release the gameplay trailers.
>>738166140You got it backwards ESL-kun
>>738162917The tiktok generation lives for normie shit like this, you think casuls want to learn how to play something like resonance of date nope then want to drive and shoot while having their disgusting thug aesthetics on display, it's about le funny ways to die by jumping from a high building and lets kill as many NPCs for 5 stars all while recording it and uploading it to their socials, Rockstar is overrated GTA is overrated and zoomers arent dumb
>>738175826It's already unusable without filters but yeah, no one discusses videogames anymore
>>738163067They made a female protagonist. They're having pride parades in the game etc. No doubt they're trying to create a woke atmosphere in the game but they also want to inhibit everyone from destroying said woke atmosphere. Or that was the initial plan, and then they realised all the systems in place made the game unmanageable so now they're reverting and changing a lot.
>>738162893>it sets the benchmark for what games can be in broadness of scope for the next two generationsSuch as ? Gameplay ? Hmm it's just a generic cover shooter, graphism ? Hmm no it's just generic photorealism, story ? Hmm no it's just generic story nobody care about>you can be certain nothing will have more content,Lol, lmao even>meaningfully superior physics or mechanics tech Physic are shit in rockstar's games
>>738175560LMAOOOOOOOOO
Why do these cucks work for free? Just say no lmao
>>738175881>They're having pride parades in the game etcI thought that (plus disallowing players to shoot up pride parades) was just a rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me to see that in there and some severe punishments for shooting it up. After all, old Rockstar was a frat boy company and blah blah and we need to do better and we asked our writers to stop punching down blah.
Speaking of GTA, what happened to that GTA:RP thing that used to be really big?
>>738162495Sounds like the game is nowhere close to being finished which begs the question why did they announce GTA 6 so early?
>>738176201Investors. Everything big publically traded companies do is to please the investors. The consumer, the game? Not even a part of the equation.
>>738162917not anymore at least. they used to be trendsetters
>>738172619The game is developed in Scotland.
>>738163503Making the life of employees better is literally communism, even if it's from a company that has made quintillions from GTA online.
>>738163503Just quit.Being a Wallshart cashier is more dignified than being a current day westroid AAA slop dev.
>>738166375It likely doesn’t help that V is so profitable, meaning that they’re incredibly nervous of cutting off a dead cert income stream, or worse, releasing VI and having people just go back to V if it turns out to be shit.
>>738163124HAHAHA
>>738163503>BengaluruIts India.Indians arent people.
>>738171756t. guy who's never worked an office job in his life
>>738162495This is Rockstars best chance to finally win its first GOTY at TGA. There are nothing but stinkers this year. RE9 was pretty good, but not GOTY material. Mostly everything else is trash. Phantom Blade Zero could be good, but thats Chinese so it won't win shit.
>>738169172The scope of AAA is retarded.The scope of Rockstar dogshit is even more retarded.Literally thousands of retards they have to whip into shape. Probably hundreds of managers. Actual outsourcing to India and anybody who ever had anything to do with indians knows how fucked up shit can get.Development on that scale is slow, rigid, ineffective and shitty.
>>738164085>in development since 2016Which makes this all the more an upper management failure.
>>738163124>NOOOOOOOOOO SAR DONT SHOW THIS CLICK THE HIDE CONTENTS SAAAARRR
this game will be cyberpunk 2077. the modern industry is just not a conductive environment for releasing good videogames,unless you dump billions into making sure it's not an embarassment for you with an extensive post release campaign
>>738164237please sar understand that the average employee might end up dead by trail, cables or pool of water. they need to hurry or else they'll run out of people
>>738178901Half of Cyberpunk's problem was releasing the game on PS4 and Xbox one in a far inferior state to PC during covid with scalpers hoarding all the next gen consoles and everything. That's not happeningwith GTA 6.
>>738179035it was mainly the several hundred million dollar gross marketing campaign that did them in because it contrasted with the release state of the game. the game even had its own talkshow.
>>738174305GTA6 failing to retain players for GTA6 online would completely crash western AAA. Everything moves to India on a scale that people can not fathom even today.
>>738174435Times are very different m8. Like who gives a shit about South Park anymore?
>>738178901It's going to be way worse because Rockstar expanded too much, the game is just as overhyped as Cyberpunk 2077, the game has been in development for far too long, and at least half the work has been outsourced to the jeets and DEI mutts, while corporate media has been praising how stunning and brave Take2 are for """diversifying""" the company.We are about to see Duke Nukem all over again.
>>738174435>shows like South ParkYou mean shows nobody watches anymore?
>>738174663I find it absolutely hilariously hysterical that 99% of the problems westoids have areb of their own doing.
>>738162495>Ahhhhh me mental 'elfThis is why western games suck. Asian devs would just get it done
>>738166621How would you update the game then?
>>738162917it's the ultimate version of cops vs robbers and it's the closest thing we have to a real world simulation
>>738162893buddy it's a jeeted mess it will be a crapshow on launch day
>>738162495Honestly just sounds like they are suffering extreme crunch and it will end up being shit as a result.
>>738162917put me in the screencap
>>738162902I obey the traffic laws bro
>>738162495still not buying it cause corporate rootkit and government forcing id check to play it.
>>738180097>>738180006Rockshart's open world design leaves a lot to be desired with today's standards. Missions are railroaded and leave little to experimentation, not to mention the games not being replayable at all because of the driving or horse riding sections (that still are present in the arcade mode for some reason??). GTA5 is especially a big disappointment on the bank robbery front, there's so little of them, too scripted and the whole picking your crew is largely irrelevant. GTA:O ended up being the definitive version of their promise on that front.Outside of missions, modern Rockstar games have the problem that outside of some TECHNOLOGY autism regarding civilian interaction, there's fuck all to do and what little there is (robbing a store, tuning a car, skinning an animal, bounty hunting...) means nothing. Money in RDR2 is useless and even if you try to make a lot of money early game weapons unlock in stores are story gated. In GTA5 same thing but it's even worse because the game has things like the stock market that allows you to make big bucks but for what ? Dressing up and tuning your car maybe, but beyond that ? Basically all the small systems that Rockstar add to their game are just there, they don't interact with each other or have a purpose if you're not looking to just fuck around killing civilians and cops. Saints Row 2 did a lot more right on that front than GTA IV at the time in my opinion.We'll see just how they can prove me wrong with GTA6, but when you compare modern open world sandbox games made by smaller teams like Kenshi, Kingdom Cum, TES it's quite embarassing.
>work overtime until 3 AM without extra payHow is this allowed?Is it because in america labor rights means evil socialism?
>>738180693Rockstar isn't American
>>738165884sounds really like the accountant jeets that got hired then shortly fired at my work
>>738180737Its founders and key people in past games may have been british but nowadays it 100% is an american company
>>738162573Yeah this series already ended with 5, it's been so long since the last mainline entry because this game is just an online casino for kids at this point. There won't be any worthwhile single player content in GTA 6 aside from a story that lasts a few hours at best, then it pushes you online to buy gator cards
>>738174747From who? Of course the professional critics and journos will suck it off regardless, but if it sucks the actual players will eventually notice, even the reality takes a little while to be absorbed through the expectations.
>>738180851*even if the reality
>>738180693see OPs pic, the employee in question is a "QA analyst" located in india.
>>738180789Yeah and coincidentally there hasn't been a new game in like 10 years and GTA 5 is just online slop kek
>>738162495why don't they just hire more jeets?
>>738162495>set a release date>before you are sure that everything can get completed without overtimesoftware companies are retarded
>>738164027lmao and 90% of this board will buy this jeet slop day one
>>73818114990% of this board is jeets too so yeah
>>738179723>the engoodening of gta 6
>>738162917Normies like slop
>>738162917san andreas had soul
how are you feeling about the fact that gta 7 will be released no earlier than 2040
>>738181341if it were a series I care about it might bother me
>>738162495something tells me their "normal" work schedule is complete bullshit
>>738162917any franchise that takes long hiatus is going to come out worse on the other end, especially these days when games have to compete with social media
>>738162495Nigger you developing concord 4 for 13 fucking years.
>unpaid overtimeLAND OF THE FREEHOME OF THE WAGESLAVE
>>738180570running around killing people and police was pretty much what GTA was for children growing uponce you got bored of that you could use the cheats to give all the civilians weapon and fight each other but after that you had pretty much seen everythingGTAO turned the franchise into some kind of retarded Second Life for people that can't buy super cars in real life and it all went wrong
this game will be a massive success and every game studio will be more motivated to hire indians instead of whitoids
Why do bongs still pretend rockstar is british?
Why don't they just unionize?Are they stupid?
>>738164017Around 10000.Not much
>>738180570>Saints Row 2 did a lot more right on that front than GTA IV at the timeYeah, it really did. It's depressing how Volition, and pretty much the entire city sandbox subgenre, peaked there.If I can add to what you said, I think San Andreas had some good ideas on how to give your actions in the open world some meaning with some light RPG and sim elements. That's a good base. I would also throw out all the shitty side content that doesn't add anything like golf or tennis or virtual yoga and add way more shit to spend your money on so players actually want to do the side content. GTAO has a lot of shit to burn money on but that's all done in the name of selling shark cards. Put that kind of shit in the actual fucking single player campaign for God's sake.And speaking of ways to make money, add more interesting ways to interact with the open world that let you make money. Why are there so few stores to rob in V, and why are the mechanics for robbing stores more in-depth in Online only? Why can't I hold people hostage in a restaurant or on the street and then shoot waves of cops trying to rescue them, Payday 2 style? Why can't I impersonate as a police offer to get out of a police chase? There's plenty of shit they could do to make the open world more interesting and they just don't take that chance with GTA. RDR2 at least tried, even if making money is easy as fuck and not really necessary for story progression for some reason.
my dad owns rockstar and he says GTA6 wont have a box price but instead a pay by the hour setup
>>738162495>unpaid overtimeHAHAHAHAHAH DO MUTTOIDS REALLY?
Wasn't main R* studio in Scotland???
Is FiveM dead or something?It goes from 100K players this February to just 10K.
>>738181692YesOtherwise you will lose your job and no one will hire youNot like they can afford not to be paid for a month or else they will lose their house and possessions
>>738181692>MUTTOIDSjeets do
how this thread for 400 replies and my GTA thread spams everyday get like 15? Fuck you OP
>>738175881you are a low iq nigger, you believe third world click bait articles. kys
Japan has unpaid overtime written into their work culture so hard that nobody bats an eye nor realizes that japs leave work at 11pm (if they're lucky) and head back to work at 6am. You can buy single use shirts or underwear in their convenience stores because some people don't even go back home and sleep in the office.
>>738181775>worked to death like a slave>if you don't you'll be on the streets after 1 monthMuttistan really is a containment zone for retarded subhumans, it gets funnier when you can pinpoint the muttoid poster from the fact that despite being a continent-sized sweatshop they seethe about unions
>>738181567My problem is precisely that it hasn't evolved beyond this on its systems and emergent gameplay. I think they're still decent game but when people cite RDR2 or GTA5 as the best open world games it triggers my autism, there's a lot of games that surpassed them since then. TW3 is another example of a good game with an absolutely uninteresting open world design. There's no wonder of discovery or whimsy outside of question marks leading to ChatGPT generated quests or monster nests to blow up.
>>738163503>I will make it legal.
>>738182073We know work culture in japan is evil and horrible as shit which only makes it more hilarious to see weebs romanticize japan so much
you faggots are so trite and boring. RDR2 had its problems but the game had soul and was incredibly immersive and fun to explore. GTA 6 is literally going to push the boundaries of gaymin, almost every huge R* release does. im excited.
>>738162495All this dev time for a game that's going to suck just as much as every GTAThis franchise should have ended on the PS2
clean it up wagies
>>738182887thank you for redeeming the blast saar
its a complaint from a whiny little bitch that quit the second things got even remotely hard
>>738162917Normies recognize the name, that's it.
>>738162917There's no other newer game were you can run around and kill people
>>738162495the horse's balls expanding feature will be done in 5 months instead of a year
>>738180131they had more than enough time to whatever they needed without crunch
>>738162917100% this. Vice City and San Andreas got a pass because A: they were our childhoods and B: they were providing a scope rarely seen in video games to that point, but these days, they're not innovative anymore, and the aggressively bad mission design and gameplay hasn't been improved upon.The writing is still pretty good, at least, but it's no Disco Elysium. You can also get a complete and full experience by watching a "cutscene movie" on youtube, complete with dialogues made outside cutscenes.
>Jeet complaining he can't finish his work in the time they getTale as old as time. All "yes sar, we will get it done" until the time comes for results and they have jack shit. These GTA6 "rumor" threads also reek, no other game has leaks and rumors like this.
>>738162495Entirely justified, this has been in development for three generations.
>>738182887>GTA 6 is literally going to push the boundaries of gayminIt's going to push the boundaries of open world realism, which is cool, but you and I know gameplay wise there won't be anything even slightly groundbreaking about it.
>>738184216It will have some writing "controversy" that will be paraded around like it's groundbreaking.
>>738162495didn't they delay the game to next year?
>>738163550>Cute black boys 12 y...I'm assuming the person that made that pinterest board is in prison now
is time to get vulturine jew jason schreier who famously covered up the blizzard rapes to complain about crunch culture and write an article again?
No game is in dev for a decade and is good on release.
>>738185042The Duke Nukem Forever of GTA games.
>>738162495>QA AnalystLmao.
>>738163124>Sonybros have no standards and enjoy getting gubbedLmao
You niggers are so dumb, GTA6 is gonna be the starfield of R*star.It will make money, it will make shitloads of money but it's gonna be shit and apart from dumb console niggers nobody is going to bother playing it, which is bad for their gay online slop.
>>738162495I hope this means it's day 1 or Nintendo. Otherwise I'm just gonna pirate it.
>>738184216the gameplay of RDR2 in a vacuum wasnt groundbreaking but in tamdem with the realistic open world exploration and how much they committed to the cowboy larp it was amazing. i could go hunting for a bear with bait, only to get ambushed by bounty hunters and lose my kill, afterwards find an ominous empty house with open window and climb inside to see some weird shit and then maybe decide to wash up in a town. thats what made it great.the number ONE problem with RDR2 and all these dumbass rockstar games is giving the player WAY too much money to fucking quickly. theres literally no incentive to actually be a bad outlaw in RDR2 because you get loaded with money. game would genuinely be peak if they actually kept you desperate for cash and low supplies
>>738183557huh, real life?
Rasterisk?
>>738162917This is whyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvbUZBsre6U
>>738171327As bad as Crimson Desert is, it is in fact a game and it isn't a linear movie like Red Dead Redemption 2. You may be able to saddle other people's horses and not fail missions.
>>738163503>>738165118Happens all the fucking time especially in the game industry. Game devs are in a worse situation than Japanese salarymen. The ideal game dev to a game studio is a drone who wears company merch every day, lives at the office and plasters the company's name all over their linkedin and social media pages, does GDC talks and other public speaking on behalf of the company, works overtime, works extra hard, lives and breathes video games, all the while getting paid absolute shit salary. And they fall for it because it's a matter of pride. They're le game dev now. The dream job of every kid.
If they delayed the game just a bit, they could make this the product which will make one-two billion people agree to digi id age verification shit immediately because if they don't, they don't get to play muh best game ever.Also very sorry in advance to anyone who buys a whole console just to play this game which will at very best be okay 3/5.
2030 or bust
>>738162893Is that even true?Games just become exponentially more expensive to produce so 2-3 years more dev time doesn't actually equate to that much.
>>738162495>working until 3am without payThis is the main problem. It’s wage theft, but totally legal :^)
>>738162495>work absurd hours for months>get fired so they don't have to pay you your bonus>join new company, start at topAre game devs stupid?
>>738162495>working till 3am without extra payLole what a goy
>>738162924It's going to be very interesting to see how many PS5 are gonna be sold just for gta6. But yeah, it seems like a loss of money to not release on PC
every time i see R* i read it as "rape," as in "R*pe" from zoomer self-censorship
>>738162917GTA used to be a comical weird reflection of the real world, a doofy parody if you will, but somehow life started imitating art so now we have fent zombies, men pretending to be women, and all the comedy of modern women in real life.It's going to be boring because real life became retarded.
>overtime without payThat's literally illegal
>>738162783Better than ubishit desu ngl
>>738162917Rockstar makes their games based on movie genres, see LA Noire, RDR, and GTA is basically a gangster movie, nothing wrong with that. Yeah gameplay is serviceable, I'm not absolutely BLOWN AWAY hyped and shit but I think it's gonna be an enjoyable game like RDR2 was, I'll wait for the PC version though. What I like about them is that they don't follow trends which is a big problem with westoid developers and that's why most AAA is generic shit, Rockstar just keeps evolving the GTA 3 formula without even looking at what everyone else is doing.
>>738187496Yeah we're basically living in South Park, there's no parody that can match the current crazyness.
>>738162573YepAnd it's still gonna sell a gorillion copiesSuch is life
I hope they make it autistically detailed even if it works pajeets down to the bone, walking and driving around the open world was the only thing i enjoyed from cp2077
>>738187392Rockshart is one of the few devs left that can skip PC releases and still not care to the hit to their bottomline. Moreover, they know that the biggest earner in the long run will be monetizing GTARP now that they poached the devs, so they can afford to delay that version.Consolefags have always been their biggest clients.As for the reason, the simplest explanation is that Take Two execs are mostly boomers still scared of piracy. PC or no PC the game will break records again, it's too big of an anticipated release and normalfags are literally starved for it.
>>738181646They did.Then R* fired them.Now R* lost their most qualified people working on their proprietary engine, and is currently trying to throw 'jeets at the problem.
>>738187470rapestar
>Forcing people to do overtime while GTA5 is still doing just fine thanks to whales spending hundreds of millions per yearHuh, the wealth will trickle down.
>>738188631Cool it with the antisemitic remarks
>>738162573Every game Rockstar has made since GTAIV has been mediocre as fuck, there's no reason to expect GTAVI to be any different.People who thought RDR2 was the best game ever made will probably enjoy this 10/10 cinematic experience though
>>738162495So, my question is how many more GTAs do I need to buy before I get another Bully?
>>738163124you literally proved that consolefags are irredeemably retarded, well done
>>738188781it's over lil' bro pack it up, Rockstar is fully Take Two's bitch now and they will never greenlight a Bully sequel.
>crunch work hours until 3AMjesus
>>738188781It's far more likely that some one man team will make/generate a pirate bully 2. Tho not as likely because it would just get shut down after getting decent downloads.
>>738162495Kinda wish this game would just release already, and not at all because I want to play it. I'm so sick of the entire industry dancing around this stupid game with game delays because they are scared of it, and hardware price hikes hoping to milk more money out of the consoomer level hype buying into it.I just want to move on.
PC release is years awayNo buy
predictions?
>>738189038its really the video game equivalent of constipation.
>>738189073go back to pol
>>738175653You are what's killing the industry btw.Faggot.
we have anime gta
I don't remember this kind of "oof we can't meet deadlines; we're overworked" for RDR2They've had almost a decade to do this, AND it was supposed to launch like a year ago. What's even going on there? They're most likely the most paid and the most comfortable devs in the business
>>738162495R* has always been like this. There was a little period where they tried to reform in the early 2020s, ousted the boys club that they thought made the place toxic.Now deadlines are looming and they have to go back to what actually works.I understand this sucks for the guys still there but nobody is forcing them to work there.They want the prestige of working on something great without putting in the time that requires. Literally just quit and go work at a back or another studio. You won't.
>>738189265That's Volvo. They just got back from their company mandated Hawaii vacaciones.

>>738189338go back to pol, nobody needs that shit here
>>738176201If they miss the January 1st deadline they are subject to the stop killing games bill hahaha
>>738189174>hetero citystarcucks could never
>>738189324They know if they leave, there are 4 recent graduates who will knife fight for the opportunity to be overworked by Rockstar. So the Devs there will cry and complain, and then continue taking it up the tailpipe.
>>738189392>>738189338
>>738183374>1 third of developers are IndiansTrue if you count QA and Map fixing to be Developer positions (they're not)
>>738181692At Rockstar you have two choices:>6 week contract with paid overtime>Permanent salaried contract with overtime implicitThe permies get fat bonuses periodically and at launch itself, thats the tradeoff.Every temp in there wants to be permanent, every permanent cries that they don't get 1.5x pay after hours and on weekends.
>>738174305>and people who spent years playing GTA or Bully or Red Dead or whatever are going to have a come to jesus moment where they realize they don't actually give a shit about R*'s gameplay formula anymoreThat was already me with 5 and RDR2. RDR2's slow animations for everything, superfluous mechanics, and restrictive missions actually changed my taste in video games by being so fucking garbage.
>>738189409that's right, you want daddy's attention cuck?
>>738189728Since you're underage no thank you, go back to school
>>738189858no im not but i guess delusions are normal for you
>>738189897>politics>"daddy"Yes you most certainly are kiddo
>>738162495At this point I'm convinced the game is taking forever because they've fucked up hard in development.
>>738176201>why did they announce GTA 6 so earlyGotta compete with Elder Scrolls VI clearly.
>>738190037and tuning down all their gay shit too
>>738189396It's the same at CD Projekt. People would work there for minimum wage.
>>738187496>grown ass manchild has bad opinion while avatarfagging with chinese cartoon characteropinion discarded
>>738182887I credit RDR2 with getting me out of modern Western games.
>>738189265there was tons of crunch talk surrounding RDR2
>>738182887I hope GTA6 has towers dotted around the map that I can activate to show me the map for that area.
>>738189265I assume it's mainly online related they want it coming out in full force and not stalling around with "beta" garbage like GTAO and RDO.Even in the 2022 leaked videos there's footage of them doing online testing alreadyThey want people swiping 2.0 shark cards ASAP honestly I expect they want majority of their dosh coming in from gift shark cards over christmas holiday.
>500+ repliesqrd?
>>738189685Lol same. In-between GTA 5 PS3 release (2013) and today I broadened my gaming horizons a lot, when I tried out RDR2 on PC a decade later I was bored out of my fucking mind. Their open world design is too superficial gameplay-wise and their story missions are just run of the mill cover based TPS.
>>738189146Correction, I'm only killing Take Two and Rockstar (nothing of value was lost that day).
>>738162495Just don't work overtime.What are they going to do, fire you? They are already behind on schedule and training someone new would make it worse
>>738191305Wow, it's fucking nothing.
>>738191305People complaining it's going to be shit and still 90% of the posters will buy it first week.
