GTA 6: Rockstar Teases “We’ve Got Some Ideas”
Rockstar Games gives some insight into the thought process behind the initial planning stages for the next GTA game.
While Grand Theft Auto V is still fresh in our minds, especially with the enhanced version recently releasing for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, it’s clearly too soon to be thinking about the next instalment in the best-selling franchise, but developers Rockstar are already pondering options.
During a talk with Develop, Rockstar Games’ President, Leslie Benzies said: “We’ve got about 45 years worth of ideas we want to do. We don’t know what GTA 6 will be, but we’ve got some ideas”.
Benzies continued, somehow thinking that teasing the world of one of the biggest franchises of all world would be fine, adding: “It comes from the idea first. Where is it going to be set is the first question. Then that defines the missions; you’re doing different things in LA than in New York or Miami. The map and story get worked up together, and the story is a basic flow of how it works out so you can layer the missions in”.
Benzies also added that “GTA Online is the focus right now. There ain’t no rest between finishing 5 and then Online. Plus, we have some other things – stuff, DLC, I don’t know how to describing it exactly – that we’d like to do, and we’ll pick the right ones.”
With the next entry likely to be only current-gen consoles and PC, Rockstar will have a lot more room for freedom by not being shackled to the limitations of the Xbox 360 and PS3, which makes us incredibly excited considering what they’ll be able to achieve.
