Ex-Rockstar dev explains why GTA 6 could disappoint players at launch Rockstar GamesGTA 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest games ever, but a former Rockstar employee is warning that the title might leave players a bit disappointed on day one. Rockstar Games blew up the internet in December 2023 when they unveiled the first official look at GTA 6 with a record-breaking trailer, giving players their first look at a modern Vice City. Since then, the studio has remained relatively quiet, with only its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, announcing a Fall 2025 release window. As fans continue to wait for more news from Rockstar, former dev, Obbe Vermeij, appeared in an interview with YouTuber \u2018SanInPlay\u2019 to talk about game development and GTA VI. While Vermeij noted that he has no insider information as he left Rockstar in 2009, he was impressed by what he saw in the trailer, but had some concerns about how the game will be received at launch. (segment begins at 32:05) \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna be wildly different from GTA 5. I think people might be a little disappointed on the first day, but it\u2019s still gonna be the best game out there,\u201d he warned. A bit later on, he expanded on this point, saying that while Rockstar could pull it off, the expectations are super high for GTA 6 and technology hasn\u2019t advanced enough to make a jump like the ones from GTA 2 to GTA 3 and San Andreas to GTA 4. That said, the former dev also noted how the Vice City location and the whole Florida man theme suited GTA \u201cvery well.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s some rumors about creating new technology having to do with animation and AI and all that stuff. I think it\u2019s time for a revolution where animation is more so AI-driven and physics-driven. If anyone is gonna make that step, it\u2019s gonna be Rockstar.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
