Some time ago, the early demonstration leak of "GTA6" caused a lot of controversy in the industry and the topic remained high. Although the popularity has subsided recently, rumors about "GTA6" still leaked from the market. The well-known R-star whistleblower Tez2 revealed that "GTA6" actually started to be fully developed before "Red Dead Redemption 2" was released.
But before and after the official release of "Red Dead Redemption 2", the development of "GTA6" was restarted. Tez2 talked about the use of a brand new technology, and its technology patent holder only joined R Star in 2019, and followed by R Starβs large-scale recruitment of members of the animation R&D team. Some netizens speculated that it is likely to be a brand new patent applied for by R Star in 2020, which can make NPC's behavior patterns more realistic, especially when driving and roads, which means that there will be more realistic drivers on the roads in the game.
In terms of the overall scale of the game, as early as 2018, there was news that the code-named "Project Americas" within R Star, and the game was originally a large-scale project that ran across continents and covered many South American cities. However, in order to alleviate fiscal austerity, "GTA6" was reduced to focus on the story of "Sin City Vice City". Both of the above points of
and the above became part of the reason why "GTA6" was restarted before and after the release of "Red Dead Redemption 2".
However, R-star, who decided to restart the "GTA6" project in 2018, certainly did not expect the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020. It not only changed the world, but also had a profound impact on the game industry. A large number of work such as game production, distribution, and publicity were forced to change, which further extended the production time of "GTA6".
