We nonetheless do not know GTA 6’s precise launch date, and even the infinite cries for Rockstar to launch a second trailer really feel like they’ve died down from their moon-obsessed peak. Take-Two’s been fairly open about this radio silence being part of its plans, and now one in all GTA 4’s key devs has stated that not solely does he reckon these plans are the appropriate name, if it had been as much as him, GTA 6 would not get a second trailer in any respect.
The dev in query, long-time Rockstar technical lead Obbe Vermeij, has stated a good quantity of stuff in regards to the studio’s newest launch over the previous couple of years, and it is come up once more as he is posted to have fun the seventeenth anniversary of GTA 4’s launch.
“The unique launch date was October 16, 2007, in time for Christmas,” he recalled about Niko Bellic’s LC odyssey, which ended up debuting on console on April 29, 2008, “We made the choice to delay the sport in July 2007.
“Solely at the moment did it grow to be clear we had been going to overlook the deadline. I’m guessing decision-day for VI shall be comparable. Fingers crossed for Take-Two’s August earnings report.”
As ever, Vermeij made it clear that he is acquired no inside data on GTA 6, having left Rockstar 9 months after GTA 4 got here out. Although, that did not cease him providing his view as to what he’d do if he was in command of this newest launch.
“If it was my name I wouldn’t launch any extra trailers,” he wrote, “There’s greater than sufficient hype round VI and the aspect of shock goes to make the discharge solely greater as an occasion.” Replying to a fan suggesting that simply dropping a launch date and nothing else would make everybody’s head explode, the dev added: “It will be a boss transfer.”
Whereas ready till proper earlier than launch earlier than all of a sudden going all-in on the GTA 6 advertising and marketing is just about confirmed to be Rockstar’s plan, as I alluded to earlier, not bothering with any extra trailers as a part of that ambush is an attention-grabbing take. In any case, it is some of the apparent to truly put that launch date information on the market, except you favour a easy social media graphic or newswire put up.
All will definitely do the trick, however it might be Rockstar deciding to not trouble taking one other crack at decimating YouTube view information – that being the precise type of factor execs usually love to have the ability to boast about.
We’ll need to see the way it goes, however no matter occurs, GTA 6’ll be a large all-consuming meteor blast that different studios have already deliberate to keep away from having their video games blown away by.
