Hang in there, gamers! As the wait for GTA 6 continues, a former member of Rockstar has made revelations that could raise more than one fan’s eyebrows. Between rumors and excessive hopes, the hype around this next video game gem could well come to an end. What is hidden behind these intriguing confidences? Get ready, because we could well dive into a hot debate concerning our beloved saga from San Andreas to Vice City!
Developer warns fans
In a recent interview, a former Rockstar Games technical lead, Obbe Vermeij, suggested that the GTA 6 release might not meet the expectations of fans hungry for something new. After more than 12 years of waiting since the release of GTA V, those hoping for radical change may be disappointed.
Vermeij, who has worked on several iconic titles in the franchise, clarified that fans should expect an experience quite similar to that of GTA V. This means that while the game is undoubtedly good, the major differences might not be there.
Prolonged development and high expectations
The development of GTA 6 took more than ten years, a considerable amount of time to create a game, especially in a sector where releases follow one another at a breakneck pace. For comparison, other franchises like Call of Duty Or Pokémon release new versions every year.
Despite the extended timing, Vermeij expressed that while fans may feel some disappointment in the first day of play, this does not call into question the overall quality of the upcoming title. He said: “It’s still the best game out there.” A statement that is heartwarming, but also has the potential to spark debate among fans.
Similarities with old titles
An interesting point raised by Vermeij concerns the gameplay elements of GTA V which would be repeated in the new chapter. This could include:
- A similar mission structure
- Comparable plots
- An online mode, inspired by GTA Online
Fan expectations and fears
The question that arises is whether this uninspiring continuity will be seen as a lack of innovation or a delicacy towards proven gameplay. However, for the most ardent fans, expectations continue to be high, especially with persistent rumors of a return to Vice City.
