It is claimed that Rockstar sacrificed Agent and some shitty generic zombie game on the altar of GTA:

It would have been like a Naughty Dog game, I take it, being set pieces with things like submersible cars, shootout on skis and a shootout in space. Superspies, not realistic Cold War fiction (both are empty genres in vidya).

The Agent isn't a big loss, considering we still have Alpha Protocol(sequel never ever). Zombie game isn't a loss either because we have Red Dead Redemption's Zombie DLC.
Honestly, I don't want Rockstar to make anything anymore, the talent is long gone and it will only ruin the legacy of their franchises. GTA6 will be a disaster and prove my point handily.

no Bully 2
no Agent
no new IPs
just megasequels for supersafe IPs every 6-8 years they can use as a vehicle to push multiplayer modes packed full of MTX
I hate cockstar so fucking much

Well he has been kind of a dick in recent times, didn't he say he was a hardcore liberal it took shots at the fandom for crying about GTA VI not coming out? What goes around comes around, I guess.

Ah yes, because being potentially shot and killed for it is definitely a warranted reaction.

I will never NOT be angry that Rockstar sat on Bully despite it being a fairly big success. Sadly it's too late to do it now.
GTA 6 will be worse than 5, the latter of which is bad compared to the previous games, yet I know normalfags will eat it up like mad. But who knows, maybe I am wrong and there will be mixed opinions... :optimistic:

More bad news. Ex-R* developer Obbe Vermeij had created a blog detailing his work with R* based games. Now, R* North gave him a cease and desist for disclosing secrets. Bullshit.

I'm glad that he detailed what the "Jimmy" project was (and it's not anything to do with Bully). It just makes things more confusing though.
Why the hell did Rockstar have TWO secret agent games in concurrent development!

It's even worse than that. As they are slowly losing the rights to the songs from older GTA games and removing them from various platforms. The newer "remastered" versions are often shoddy mobile ports outsourced and with lots of music removed. These new "definitive" versions are filled with new errors and bugs and all sorts of other issues not present in the original releases. And because they are mobile ports tons of the graphics and animations are downgraded compared to the original now ancient (by game standards) PS2 versions.

They can't even remake their own older games properly and seem to be devoid of talent and vision. Not a surprise when you read the early life descriptions of the people in charge of course. GTA6 will likely have the highest marketing budget of any game in history. And like make massive profits yet show tremendous decline in the franchise. Hopefully my PS2 still functions for the next few decades.

Thank goodness I bought the 3D GTA games new for PC, I owned San Andreas on my PS2(rip) but I'm sure sailing the seven seas will easily find me the OG PC release if need be.
I think the 3D era GTA games might be the worst maintained games in history, when you look at all the re-releases. Imagine if every time Nintendo re-released the original Super Mario Bros they fucked something up, to the point where you needed to own a functioning NES to get the real deal, that's just fucking crazy.

I always hear that but come on bro you just take 20 minutes to look through what the latest best mods are, download those, paste them in and boom done. I guess you need to downgrade the game too, meaning double clicking an exe you download then clicking "next next finish".

Swimming in vice city and 3? I had that with a mod. Camera control during driving in 3? I had that with a mod.

They're perfectly playable with almost all issues fixed nowadays.

I really wish they'd waited two days to release that trailer just so people would freak out thinking it was supposed to be the trailer for the "next GTA"

I'm just kind of glad in a way I never got to see "Bully Online" go the way of Red Dead Online.

You love to watch the world burn, do you? I just realized something. The trailer in December may be one, two minutes top. Maybe a shot of the beach and a few skyscrapers with a brief shot of the female protagonist.
