>The first script was a detective story worthy of a thriller, focusing on three different protagonists. This project was carried on until the end of 2016, but at that point, Take-Two vetoed it, deeming the plot “Too dark and did not meet their expectations.”

>The second version of the script involved two protagonists: a policewoman and a “Drug smuggler’s underling, as crazy as Trevor from GTA V. This iteration remained in development for eighteen months, but then Take-Two intervened again, canceling everything and ordering a reset.

>The third prototype was similar to the second, but with one important difference: the grieving policewoman was replaced by an African-American man, a former soldier, released from prison and falling into the criminal underworld. This script was canceled in March 2019, according to the source.
All just "rumors" but apparently this led to Dan Houser leaving.

When is Agent coming out

>>712886694
tomorrow

literally no one cares about the story anyway why did they even bother scrapping it so many times? hell most of the sales for gta are from kids who won't even remember what happened 2 missions ago. all people want is le epic chaotic open world game.

Are chuds still the racists?

>>712886745
i was asking myself the same thing when i was reading about this on different sites. all the money comes from gtao i'm surprised they're doing a story mode at all honestly.

>All just "rumors" but apparently this led to Dan Houser leaving.

He should have stuck around to at least ensure that GTAIII, VC, SA, were properly ported and preserved rather than the shit hack job we got.

>>712886878
i doubt he could even do that, take2 would just step in and say no.

So the gta6 campaign has only really been in development for 6 years?

details: (roughly translated from french since the leaker is french)
>Protagonist 1: An old Vice City policeman reputedly incorruptible but who gradually plunges into organized crime in order to protect his son, who has fallen into the dangers of drug use.
>Protagonist 2: The police officer's son, a very young Cuban-American junkie who is trying to get out of his addiction and the dangers of drug-trafficking environments.
>Protagonist 3: The right arm of a Colombian drug baron who manages the import of narcotics to the United States via Vice City. His ambition was to found his own empire in North America.
>This original version was in development until the end of 2016 before being cancelled by Take-Two Interactive. The sisterly company of the star firm considered him too dark, not corresponding to their expectations.
it lines up with houser taking a break in 2019 before allegedly still being fed up and leaving shortly therafter. only original writer left is rupert humphries i think.

>>712886745
Hard disagree. Not so much the stories per se but I look forward to the character writing in Rockstar games. The plots are usually paper thin though.

>>712886641 (OP)

GTA has a story?

>>712886641 (OP)
Just look at what happened to GTAV

They not only rejected the first few drafts they cut entire plotlines mid production

>>712887486
That would explain how underdeveloped that game's villains were. Made the death wish ending very umderwhelming

>>712886641 (OP)
All of those sounds pretty terrible.

Bet they regret taking Take Two's money now huh
There's executive meddling and then there's outright sabotaging your own project because you think it doesn't have broad enough appeal

Too dark for who? Fuck these corpo sissies

>>712887486
>>712887539
5 was so bad i barely even remember what happened. i just remember some guy you stole cars for and his girlfriend or wife got sucked into an airplane engine and was killed and then somehow he was the guy calling you saying "do this or else"

I will NOT buy GTA6
I will NOT play GTA6
I will NOT even pirate GTA6
I am NOT interested in DEI
Simple as

>>712887834
Bro it might shock you to know this but black people exist and live in Florida

Hell they were even imported because white people couldn't survive the diseases and climate

>>712887834
ok

>712887931
Poor bait

>>712886641 (OP)
Make the game rated A and tell everyone to shut the fuck up. It's GTA. It sells no matter what just like Pokemon and CoD. Wouldn't affect sales at all. In fact SA was already rated A.

That would've been kino

>>712886641 (OP)
when they say script in this context, is it just a broad outline or did these niggers just write three games and drop it (which i assume happens more often than people know)

>>712886694
Two more weeks

>>712888801
A game's script is exactly the same as a movie's: stage direction, acting cues and all.

>>712886745
Story is the only reason to play these otherwise crap games.
Once main story ends, you see how dead and meaningless the city is, always has been like that.

>>712886641 (OP)
You can make Lucía so buff in this, it made my pp leak.

>>712887834
Agreed, don't buy it, don't play it. Don't even post in this thread. That will really show them.

>>712886694
???
It got released 2 years ago anon.
Where do you think you are?

>>712886641 (OP)

>We will explain why...

Why do game "journos" do this shit? Instead of writing information they always have to shove their fucking opinion into it.

>>712887318
That sounds pretty cool

>>712886641 (OP)
>the grieving policewoman was replaced by an African-American man, a former soldier, released from prison and falling into the criminal underworld.
guess they tried to keep the same chance of you randomly shooting someone.

>>712891081
Ehh a female officer would be more realistic for that.

>>712886641 (OP)
>>712887318
That first idea sounds great, why the fuck were they so gay
Fucking it's GTA, "too dark" shouldn't exist.

>>712886641 (OP)
>Development hell game
It has "flop" written all over it.

>>712886641 (OP)
Third prototype seems fun. I'm misogynistic so a black soldier sounds a lot more entertaining than Lucia

>>712886641 (OP)
Why isn't the fourth version Lucia with a black man as boyfriend?

>>712887318
I remember this leak, the plot was heavily inspired by “Narcos”, it was supposed to have Caribbean islands for drug smuggling missions

>>712887318
so another company has to go to dan and say just do this idea we give you the money

>>712889786
Bring me strongfat Lucia.

>>712887834
This stereotypes the fuck out of blacks, why are you complaining

>>712886641 (OP)
>Too dark and did not meet their expectations
they said the same of GTA4 yet it was the best GTA to date

>>712892679
Because WMLF is the average couple in South Florida.
