Rumor: Grand Theft Auto VI Development is 'Chaotic' - News

It was reported in July by insider Tom Henderson and corroborated by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier that Rockstar won't release Grand Theft Auto VI until 2024 or 2025 as Rockstar Games is focused on the well-being of its developers. It will also only release on the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC and Rockstar wants the new consoles to have a higher install base.
Twitter account AccNGT, who leaked Quantic Dream's recently announced Star Wars Eclipse, has said development for Grand Theft Auto VI is "chaotic."
"Some people don't realize how chaotic the development is," reads the tweet. "I really think there will be disappointment for many people for some aspects. ([Of course] not the graphics side).
"If the game is announced this year / early 2022, we can really be worried."

24/25 is fine by me as long as they get it right. There is no rush take your time to put out the best product they can.
I'm getting on in years you young whipper snapper you.
i bet it is, such big shoes to fill after sucess of GTA5
If T2 plans to make GTA VI exponentially bigger than GTA V, then the game is not going to release until the end of the PS5's and XBox XS' lifespan. And they'll probably end up investing the budget of small country on it. They are going to end up hitting diminishing returns at some point, and those astronomical budgets are going to hit them hard. Or hell, imagine if the PS6-NeXtbox have a poor launch for whatever reason...
I have no doubt. GTA VI needs to have the development time of a ESVI lol. I have a feeling if GTA VI is announced in 2022, it'll be a "hey, this game does indeed exist" type trailer, then hear nothing for 2-3 years.
Yeah they're putting in those extra years of effort to make sure they have a product that will sell a billion shark cards
Color me shocked.
considering they have multiple studios and 2000 devs you would think we would get more than couple of games within the last 10 years
Sadly GTA online robs them of incentive and has large maintenance needs , that plus these games like GTA and RDR2 that are ever green and continue to sell well years later means they aren't in a rush to get the next one out the door, the other is the blockbuster factor that see's each new game becoming more ambitious than the last so being more expensive and taking longer to make than previous games that themselves had industry leading product spend.
Are they correct in assuming if the game doesnt blow everyone away, its not worth releasing it? I though RDR 2 was great but definitely a bit bloated with some of the bigger fetch quests, one too many campaign chapters, as well as the biggest and most elaborate epilogue in gaming history. I as a consumer would be ok with less , with the same level of polish.
There are so many good devlopers and games out there , that I lost hype for gta years ago. I'm more interested in the open world game dan/sam houser is working on.
They need to forget about old lawsuits and have Leslie Benzies come and rescue it like he did with RDR lol
One of the reasons for less games beside them becoming more complex is the rise of GAAS where they are made to last the whole gen or longer even now people are talking about Halo Infinite living up to it's name by taking a Destiny approach but with a proper single player campaign interwoven into it.
Except the epic single player campaign isn't there. Well so far anyway
who said epic? maybe proper was me getting excited can we settle for Destiny with some sort of campaign attached.
That approach is fine for some. But i'd much prefer a campaign to remember.
me too but i don't make them just comment on them.
