The site's source also said "preliminary" work has started on Grand Theft Auto 6. However, a location for the game has not been chosen yet, but, if the source is right, it will probably be in the United States.
Rumors of Rockstar working on a new Grand Theft Auto game are not all that surprising. Take-Two has labeled the franchise "permanent," (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/evolve-is-a-permanent-franchise-alongside-gta-red-/1100-6427675)which basically guarantees new entries in the series are coming. Additionally, former Rockstar boss Leslie Benzies said in the past that Rockstar has "some ideas" for Grand Theft Auto 6. (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/rockstar-has-some-ideas-for-gta-vi/1100-6415296)There is a clear business opportunity to make a sixth mainline game, as the latest entry, 2013's Grand Theft Auto V (http://www.gamespot.com/grand-theft-auto-v), has shipped more than 60 million copies (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-5-reaches-60-million-copies-shipped/1100-6434476).
It doesn't sound like Rockstar needs to rush it with the next mainline GTA game, either, as GTA V's money-making multiplayer mode GTA Online continues to be incredibly popular (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-5s-online-mode-is-still-making-lots-of-money-r/1100-6434526).
We have reached out to Rockstar for comment on the source's claims and will update this post with anything we hear back.
What are some wishes for this next GTA game? More people in online play? Connected maps for GTA online? Better Character and house customization?

GTAV: Vice city would be a cool expansion. I think they should go to a city they haven't been before though, like Detroit, Dallas, or even Toronto would be cool.

Yeah, I was kinda upset at first @ no Las Venturas, especially since it's "spiritual predecessor", San Andreas, featured C.J. and Co. pulling off a heist of their own at the Caligula's Casino.

Dunno, it just seemed like it would've been such a perfect fit.

Running out of places in the States to inspiration from. If I had to throw some cities out there, maybe go Seattle or Boston.

Really can't do California, New York City, or Miami anymore. Now you're just running out of ideas.

I think Chicago and Detroit both have MORE than seedy enough histories to be leading candidates. And we KNOW LC is ruled out because of some promotional artwork stating "Liberty City, it's OVER" or something. Boston could be good though. I also thought if they really wanted a great place to target, why not set the next game in D.C.?

I also wouldn't totally be against it if the rumors of a female protag turn out to be true as the only ones we've been able to play as are created characters in GTAO. Would be nice to see a female GTA character who's not just another piece of meat promising to be amorous to a male protag who rescues her or gets her out of trouble and also who's not another hooker a male protag honks at and pays for sex and possibly a small boost to health.

They should set in Japan

Wishbone

03-30-2016, 02:22 AM

Since GTA 4 rebooted the continuity we haven't officially had a game set in Vice City (Miami) in the current continuity. My money is on them doing that for the next game honestly. Gotta agree with Juan that a game set in Japan could be cool as hell though. I also really hope the female protagonist rumors are true. A Vice City game could actually fit that well too. Some drug baroness who gets back-stabbed by a trusted underling or something could be really cool.

DC would be fun, we could see the protagonist be a hitman for a particular party. Would be kind of cool.

 A source speaking with TechRadar (http://www.techradar.com/us/news/gaming/rockstar-came-close-to-making-grand-theft-auto-tokyo-1317622) has revealed some interesting details about Grand Theft Auto's past and future. First, the unnamed source told the site that Rockstar Games was considering making a "full" Grand Theft Auto game set in Tokyo and even sent staff to the Japanese city for a research trip.
The trip, which is said to have involved taking pictures and speaking with locals, took place "several years ago," around the time of GTA III (http://www.gamespot.com/grand-theft-auto-iii) and Vice City (http://www.gamespot.com/grand-theft-auto-vice-city), the source said. Though Rockstar was reportedly "serious" about making a GTA game set in Tokyo, the idea was scrapped for a couple major reasons.
"The road system was seen to be problematic and became one reason the idea was canned...Our source added that, as time has gone on, Rockstar has realized the difficulty in moving Grand Theft Auto outside of the USA, where it has firmly embedded itself. There are a number of series staples, from brands to cars, that Rockstar would likely have to change if a future GTA was set somewhere else."
Pretty much confirmed it won't be Tokyo or any place outside of North America

Could probably bring back the London setting if they ever wanted to go outside the US as a possible setting or go back in the past again.

Bangkok or Hong Kong would be really cool. Would love to see something totally different, set in a completely different culture.

If it has to stay in America, a modern take on Red Dead might be interesting.

Or even a Cali-Vegas map with stories between San Fran, LA and Vegas

I mean, the only real problem is can they really pack in a story and a shit-ton of side-quests and side activities into such a small city? And if all of N.A. is still in the mix, why not Toronto, Montréal or even Mexico City? M.C. is fucking massive and what with the cartels and the scenery and all the other crazy shit, it could work.

They simplify highway and road systems all the time. They never do 1:1 detail.

I was just going by what they cited, as "complicated highway" stuff. And yes, they dumb it down, but people will bitch about it then too.

Double-edged sword. Also kinda feel like a GTA in Tokyo/An Oriental part of the world would just be Yakuza (or Sleeping Dogs) lite.

Destor

03-31-2016, 02:33 PM

Minority opinion: since the switch to multiplayer being the primary focus I'm done with GTA. LOVED the franchise up until 5. far too short of a campaign, not even remotely enough side quests. The content just wasnt there. No interest in multiplayer.

It's not a single players world anymore though.

drave

03-31-2016, 05:49 PM

I'm sorta with you there. While MP can be fun, it seems you def need a "crew" to really enjoy it. Having kids kinda prevents me from being able to do stuff like that, always having to stop at a moment's notice, etc. Heists sounds/looks awesome, I just don't have the resources :(

Sounds like GTA won't be out of the US because the road system of big cities is simpler. Can just make blocks and 90 degree turns and you're set.

Anyway, just getting a post in here before it drops off the first page later this year because everyone will be talking about RDR2.

Nicky Fives

04-12-2016, 12:23 PM

I'm thinking the next logical step is having the game take place in 2 separate cities.....They keep the multiplayer and have you split time in both cities, only to entangle the missions and players later on down the line in both cities.... and you can easily double the pigeons/spray paint tags/ stunt jumps/random tasks to do as you have twice the territory to put them in....

GTA VI might be more heavy in multiplayer if recent press statements about GTA V is any indication.

Rockstar has made around half a billion dollars from GTA Online since its launch for GTA V. For some comparisons, sales of the actual game are around $3 billion since its launch.

Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer mode GTA Online is free, but Rockstar offers optional microtransactions for players who want to speed up their progress. It turns out those microtransactions are proving wildly popular, reportedly generating half a billion dollars.

Looking at the progression from GTA4 to RDD to GTAOnline, I'd say we should prepare for a massive double down on the next GTA online mode. Campaign may take a further backseat.

Fignuts

04-12-2016, 07:44 PM

Considering the criticism of 5 for it's shorter campaign, and the fact that fans are still demanding single playet dlc, I doubt they are going to minimalize the single player content even further. With a game created on the new hardware, I see no reason why a company as talented as Rockstar can't expand on both sides of the game enough to appease fans as opposed to cutting one down content on one.

The Singleplayer content is important enough to the fanbase where I could see a stand alone GTAO before the sp content in a numbered title gets skimped on even more.

drave

04-12-2016, 09:26 PM

I would like to the system from San Andreas come back. Where you can go to the gym, change melee fighting moves, etc. Only they could do it with so much more now.

Think something like "The Division" or something of the sort. Allow for player customization like Saints Row but still have the same "main story". That would be great for replayability/longevity in the SP realm.

DAMN iNATOR

04-12-2016, 10:03 PM

One of the few things that irks me in V is switching between the protags and the one I switch to isn't wearing their "default" outfit I like to have them wear. Example: For Trevor, I have his "default" as Blarney's baseball cap, aviator sunglasses, shaggy beard, camo hunting jacket/vest, camo cargo pants and boots. Doesn't look right when I switch to him from Michael or Franklin to see him out and around in a t-shirt and shorts.

Basically I just try and work within the "gimmicks" of the 3 individually when determining what kind of "default" outfit/look I want them to have. It's a minor thing, but when I see any deviation whatsoever it just really pisses me off.

Demands and petitions don't weigh more than the money GTAOnline made.

This is dumb. Sales of the game made 6 times more money than the online microtransactions. They stand to lose more money alienating the single players coming for the base GTA experience. If the fans don't buy the game in the first place then there is no money to be had from the microtransactions. And the biggest demand is for more single player stuff.

Give the people what they want = larger install base = more people playing = more idiots buying dumb things via microtransactions.

No, they don't need to be mandatory at all. The water breathing mission was the worst for that.

Think of it more like a "build it to your playstyle" a la Skyrim and/or Oblivion. You wanna be a melee badass, seek out melee "training" and/or just go to local fight clubs in each town (that you don't fucking talk about) to advance those sets of stats.

"GTA 6" by Rockstar Games sees a few likelihoods based on reports including a release that coincides with Playstation 5 and Xbox Two. New "GTA 6" updates say that Rockstar Games will pit players with the likes of Osama Bin Laden and bring a flux of world events in the"Grand Theft Auto" chapters.

Although the idea of "GTA 6" in a Tokyo map has been bandied around, The Mirror (http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/gta-6-rumours-rockstar-already-7844314) reports that the new "Grand Theft Auto" will likely stay within the US borders. This rings true with earlier reports by Digital Spy (http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/feature/a786645/gta-6-release-date-news-map-story-and-everything-you-need-to-know/) that the "GTA 6" map will be the biggest yet in the hit Rockstar Games franchise.

In any case, a "GTA 6" outside of the US will likely take on London given statement by Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser. "At the moment, it feels like GTA's DNA is contemporary-ish, American-ish, English-speaking-ish because that's what it has been, but that doesn't necessarily limit it to those, that's just what we've done so far," Dan Houser stated.

Be that as it may, new updates cited by Grand Theft Auto (GTA 6) (http://grandtheftautogta6.net) suggest that the action-adventure in the new Rockstar Games iteration will take on a political taste. Based on this update recent world events will invade "GTA 6."

In a "Bonus International" mission for "GTA 6," Rockstar Games will have players facing and fighting Osama Bin Laden. Other troublesome terrors in the ilk of Osama Bin Laden reportedly may also surface in "GTA 6."

In the meantime, the buzz on Rockstar Games adding a female protagonist and a male counterpart in "GTA 6" remains strong. No new name has surfaced to compete with real-life couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling if this "GTA 6" plan by Rockstar Games comes to fruition. Rumors of it being set to launch with PS5 and XB2. Male and Female protagonist.

Sepholio

05-04-2016, 03:44 PM

Sounds like a whole bunch of maybes that are all bullshit speculation. Reports say it will launch with PS5/XB2 while other much more reputable sources are claiming there will never be a PS5 or XB2.

If consoles are going the way that is recently projected, it will be dumb to own one unless you want specific titles in the future. They are just going to release them short term, like a PC. It will be much cheaper and smarter, not to mention "bang for your buck" to just build a PC.

Apparently someone who got some kind of insider info from R* themselves is claiming that Grand Theft Auto VI will be set in Vice City and feature a female protagonist. Also that it might not release until 2022.

These are obviously only rumors, so take all that with a grain of salt.

Not really. I mean, TESO aside, all the main entries always take the series to an as-yet unvisited area with each new entry (Vvardenfell in TES III: Morrowind, Cyrodiil in TES IV: Oblivion, and Skyrim in TES V: Skyrim).

I'd like to see the game take place in 2 different times and maybe even 2 different cities... i.e. You start off in Vice City a young man, get busted for 20 years, then get released and move to Liberty City and continue your life of crime as an adult.....

I don't know how old he was at the time, but I know Tommy Vercetti was arrested in Liberty City in 1971 and did 15 years in prison and after his release in 1986, he's sent to Vice City by Sonny Forelli to help on a drug deal, which restarts his criminal career down there and his following rise to power as a criminal kingpin.

Not that I'm opposed to the idea, IJS.

Nicky Fives

I don't really care where its set or if Vercetti or Vice City is involved, I just like the premise of having two distinct time periods as I think there's loads of story paths that you could go with that idea

Nicky Fives

Toronto & Buffalo could work, or a pair of cities similar to it.... One city is smaller with the smaller map (easier to animate), then the character goes to jail, "ties up lose ends" in the small town and moves to "the big city"

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-will-reportedly-only-be-out-in-2025-will-include-fortnite-like-evolving-map/1100-6493368/

Fans have been waiting for almost eight years for a new Grand Theft Auto game, and according to one leaker with a solid track record, that gap between main entry releases won't be over until 2025. Something which Take-Two's statements during a recent shareholder event (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-release-date-probably-isnt-in-2021/1100-6491672/) backed up recently.
Tom Henderson--who previously leaked Call of Duty and Battlefield 2042 details--has released a new video (https://youtu.be/b5kSp88_a2Y) and in it, he claimed that GTA 6 will be set in a modern-day version of Vice City. This runs contrary to previous reports that GTA 6 would be set in the 1980s, with Henderson claiming that developer Rockstar wants to ensure as much freedom as possible for its staff when it comes to creating content for GTA Online.

Henderson also discussed a potential for the GTA 6 map to change over time, similar to how Epic Games regularly overhauls its Fortnite map during end-of-season events. There was also a mention of GTA 6 having multiple playable characters, something which GTA 5 introduced to the series when it first came out. Even if these rumors are true, fans are going to be in for a long wait due to several factors. Henderson said that Rockstar has placed a greater emphasis on employee wellbeing in the wake of several reports detailing the crunch work conditions (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/red-dead-redemption-2-devs-talk-crunch-and-working/1100-6462631/) that were implemented before Red Dead Redemption 2 came out.
The new GTA is believed to be coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and, as they are new to the market, Rockstar is allegedly waiting for more systems to be sold so as to maximize sales. Henderson also added that since Rockstar wants to avoid delaying the game, GTA 6 won't be announced early and thanks to the constant revenue stream of GTA 5, Rockstar has the luxury of being able to take its time with development on this sequel.
It's worth being skeptical of any GTA 6 reports until Rockstar officially reveals the game, but these claims do line up with some previous leaks.

Same basic principle as Bethesda creating a new IP (Starfield) and holding off on saying anything about TES VI other than "it exists...kinda". They know that TESO is wildly successful and want to take it for all it's worth. The difference is it's not a steaming pile of dog shit like GTAO is. So if that trend continues over the next couple of years, what's to say Bethesda don't set more of their focus on Fallout 5 post-Starfield and all it's extra content as opposed to TES VI?

Anyway, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes trying to decide which of those 2 to pursue next. Nobody's going to forget FO76 anytime soon, and anything short of the overall quality of FNV (which, yes, we're all aware Obsidian put out, not Bethesda) might not be enough to move it off shelves when it releases. As for TES VI, fan expectations are already through the stratosphere, with people wanting extreme amounts of innovation yet still some features that would make it more like TES III: Morrowind or TES IV: Oblivion.

A lot (not all) of the extra DLC has been free though. They're mostly preying on people gullible enough to buy Shark cards like there's no tomorrow so they can buy the new hot billion dollar supercar in-game. That's what pisses me off with R* right now. It's corporate greed at its worst. I've kicked GTAO to the curb since at least a couple years ago now, and I don't miss it one bit.

DAMN iNATOR

Oh no they haven't. People are still buying the exorbantly priced shark cards like hot cakes, despite what a massive ripoff they are. Pay the price of a brand new game for one high end vehicle.

What's worse is you don't even need to buy them. I've never bought a single one, but I own a bunch of businesses, a garage full of high end vehicles, and all 3 command center vehicles.

I did buy the criminal enterprise pack. That's a legit good deal though.

Despite the ripoff shark cards, gtao is fantastic. There is more to do in this game than any other live service game I've ever played. In an open world more detailed than any other.

I mean, I kinda get it, licensing music for any game can be a bitch and a half, but I'm sure the vast majority would have preferred if they took care of it anyway since they've got all that sweet sweet GTAO money. And FFS, they could've even used the time to polish the remasters way more. Instead they've chosen to hoard as much Shark Card profits as possible and pump out GTAV and GTAO onto 9th generation consoles, the third generation in a row, so they can keep swindling suckers they know will keep paying for the Shark Cards.

Might be for the best if something so horrible happened to R* as to put them out of business for good. At this point, how can anyone possibly think GTA VI will be any good? And especially at $70 current gen for the base game and whatever exorbitant prices they decide to charge for the inevitable BS "special" and "collector's" editions?

i really wish these were on disc instead of 1 game + 2 downloads. i still think im going to get them but im considering not. in 20 years when the consoles battery fails I'll lose the games...so whats the point...

Oh the C-Bomb/CMOS battery thing? That was resolved with update 9.00 on PS4 a while back, and they JUST fixed it like a week or 2 ago for PS5. Pretty sure, and somewhat understandably so, the only console Sony hasn't fixed it on is PS3. Which sucks, just like that thing's architecture...kind of a shame too, because that aside it really was a pretty decent bit of hardware. But yeah, I get it, they're a business, etc.

Just seems like they patched PS4 and PS5 more for PR reasons and to avoid potential future lawsuits, however frivolous or not they would have been. Not also fixing the PS3 does make me wonder if they actually do care at this point in time about preserving video game history. Sad to say, I still think the answer is no.

I am 100% digital. Don't have to worry about disks getting damaged or the sensor in the hardware going bad. I don't keep my consoles forever so I don't have to worry about a battery going bad. I don't even have time to play half my backlog now, let alone revisit some game on another system from years ago. So I'm not terribly worried about the downsides of digital.

Destor

11-14-2021, 12:48 PM

def on the other end of the spectrum from me. i go back and play decades old games all the time. the pre HD games are an issue since modern tvs make them look horrendous though. then there's the issue of digital is leasing and physical is owning.

to be topical the PC digital purchase of the GTA trilogy has been taken off the store and is unplayable currently and to top it off there's no option to refund. a game you purchased just a few days ago is not playable. im sure they fix the issue with the tracks being disable vs removed and get it back up in short order but this is what it is to make a digital "purchase." you dont own anything.

Tom Guycott

11-15-2021, 01:20 AM

I was kinda excited about this. For some reason, I was kinda jonesing to play III, take Guru to the hideout from the prison bus, then run over to the car lot to steal the Banshee and tool around town blasting GAME Radio... but the more and more news that keeps happening on this, I don't want to play it at all, and may just have to dust off the PS2, and hope it's one of the games I still have.

Although it is kinda hilarious that this release sucks as as bad as it does. I got the re-release of San Andreas on 360 (I think it was on the 360 - digitally), and remember being upset about some of the music being butchered (it was all there, but there were a couple of songs that skipped, the DDR-esque minigame section with Hollywood Swingin' was OFF BEAT, and whenever you failed a date, the "FUCK YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" was "edited". I wondered how that could be that bad years later. Didn't know it could and would get worse.

My two concerns before all this was if all the music would be included (I figured music rights would be a concern; learned that lesson on the HD release of THPS) and if the flight mechanics in III and Vice City would at least be up to the standard of San Andreas. I mean, the Dodo in III was damn near impossible to fly, and VC didn't do much better... and also maybe if they retroactively gave Claude and Tommy the ability to swim (hey, remember the Driver dig at GTA:VC with "Timmy Vermencelli" wearing water floaties?)

Now, I'd be more concerned about seeing through the rain effects, or janky nightmare fuel character models. This went from a day-one purchase to a no day anywhere soon purchase.

So for people who actually spent $ on the "definitive" edition and are keeping it, someone noticed a new, very detailed photo of what appears to be the house from The Golden Girls, which ran from 1985-1992. Easter egg, or perhaps a hint that GTA VI could be set between and covering some or all of those years, in VC?

I'll probably still never touch GTA VI if it ever comes to fruition, but it is rather interesting, I suppose. Maybe a game set there covers 1985, filling in some or all of the plot between VCS's 1984 and VC's 1986 settings. Obviously if it were to be set in VC, 1986 is almost certainly eliminated, so as not to overshadow Tommy Vercetti's story. Otherwise it could be cool to see it set in VC between and or covering some or all of the 1987-1991 (1992 is obviously the setting of SA, which while that's a different location, I doubt they'd want to mess with C.J.'s story) time frame. However, with the precedent set by GTA IV and followed in V, if they were to go back to VC, it would probably be set in the modern day.

I know, for someone who couldn't care a bit about GTA VI, I sure launched into a bunch of different theories, but yeah...it just sort of piqued my interest a little and got my mind racing with ideas, but I'm still never supporting R* with another red cent of my $, you can rest assured of that.

the live service model of 5 makes me think my time with gta has come to an end. its not what i want from games. i dont think its inherently bad but it doesnt fit my tastes...6...if the story is 40 hours I'll get it. any less I'll wait for a price the suits the value i designate.

I think they really pissed off the community by basically promising an add-on to V's single-player story that never came to fruition, and instead put all their efforts into releasing add-ons free to GTAO and going for the bigger cash grab by offering Shark Cards.

R* have brought their reputation on themselves, and The "Definitive" edition of the trilogy just showed they no longer give a single fuvk about their fans. I once thought nobody could out-greedy EA (SW: BF II with their infamous mtx loot boxes), then Bethesda came along (FO76), and now with the new editions of III/VC/SA, we see that R* clearly didn't have to pay the former War Drum Games, renamed Grove Street Games after being acquired, to buy them and have them hurriedly crap out the "definitive" edition games.

Well...they might have put out a half-assed apology, but at least for people who were duped into buying the definitive edition on PC, they're offering those people free copies of the versions that released on PS3/PS4 and 360/XB1 and the same version that released on PC in the 2010s, but only on PC...why not also to people who bought TDE on PS4/PS5 and XB1 and XBSS/XBSX?

Also, I hope these patches they are promising to address "a number of issues" in TDE aren't just minor things but also performance and other issues. At least they should try and make it seem like they didn't just outsource the lions share of the work to a random developer to touch up the lighting and a few other areas to slightly improve parts of the games while leaving the rest to rot from the ports of the mobile games. It reeks of laziness.

Also, I get it, gAmErS ArE aNgRy, but that's no excuse to be sending hateful comments and death threats and all that bullshit at the developers or anybody. People who do that are the lowest if the low and we'd all prefer if they'd kindly give up gaming altogether because doing things like that every time one of these seemingly increasing instances of a game that looks promising turning out to be dog shit just be sure they can't control their rage lends credence to people's opinions who don't game that games tend to sometimes cause violence, which has never been proven.

That said if the game doesnt relentlessly mock everyone it will fail. A GTA with no teeth isnt GTA. Would be like if south park became PC. Wont work.

The Crooks team have an objective they have to reach across the map and the Cops team have to stop them and kill them before they get there.

Honestly it was a fun mode and you could easily just call it something else and make it two rival gangs instead of cops and it'd be fine.

Many games have had GTAs gameplay. None have replicated its tone, style and sense of humor. Try as they might. True Crime, Saints Row, Watchdogs hell simpsons road rage.true crime mechanically was better than GTA in every gameplay aspect by a country mile. Didnt matter of course. It lacked the spirit. And thats always been the draw. GTA 3 and vice city very legitimately played like shit. Even for the time. Didnt matter. Biggest games of their time.

I love all the games i listed there save watchdogs. They arent staples of the medium though. If the gameplay was the draw they would be. Saints row 2, 3 and 4 play way better than gta 3 and vc.

Gta's success isnt exactly a mystery after all. Kids telling other kids about fucking prostitutes and killing them to get their money back did more for the sales of 3 than anything. GTA is a franchise literally built on being edgey, crass and often taboo. Especially with 3 as it hadnt really been a game that went that hard on console ever.

Pushing against neo-puritans is intrinsic to the fiber of its being. Because without its just watchdogs.

And on the topic of social justice censorship the thing about comedy that makes edgey humor good is its equal opportunity shit stirring. Its inclusive. Everyone gets ragged on. VC had a talk radio show of a husband and wife radio team. One was liberal one was conservative. Mocked them both. Some jokes the red tie got it some jokes the blue tie got it. There were bits mocking italians, gays, jews, women, soccor moms, cops, rappers, country music it didnt matter. We all could laugh at one another. If you say X is off limits what you're really saying is X isnt part of the club. You single them out as a literal other and you make bringing people together impossible.

Was checking out the new saints row and it reminded me of this topic. Its exactly the toothless "comedy" im hoping GTA doesnt become. It has no edge whatsoever. None in its writing or missions. Its like twitter made a saints row game. It fails to be funny or interesting. Hopefully the folks at TakeTwo/Rock Star are much more talented. Hard to say since most the writing staff has moved on in the very nearly 10 years since making gta 5 but with the money TakeTwo has surely they can bring in some people to do at least a bit better than the objective failure that Saints Row clearly is.

I thinks it's the duty of a comedian to the find out where the line is drawn and deliberately cross it.
