>Will claim the game to be played by billions of players despite being a console exclusive and total sales of consoles worldwide being extremely limited (you don't expect scalpers to buy a copy of the game for each console, do you?)

I don't understand how having so many thousands of people working on one thing speeds up the process. At some point I have to imagine that the overhead of managing all of these people makes it so that there is no productivity gain, or even a productivity loss, when adding a worker to the team.

They were fine with putting their name on the disastrous remakes. It feels like even the most competent studios are bleeding talent. The old guard are retiring and the volatility of the industry means no new hires hang around long enough to really get good at their jobs.

As video games get more expensive to produce, I expect this to happen more and more often. Much of the work will either start getting outsourced to AI or the third world and video game studios will absolutely gut their staff. This will get worse if mass immigration is ever controlled, slowing wage suppression.

For example, Indians can be paid significantly less, and they don't necessarily need to import anything (it's a digital product). So, once created, Rockstar cant print onto discs from any country or just push directly online. The only thing they need is a few guys in the West with knowledge of Western culture and tastes and that'll be it.

Unless it's a minimum wage job, you can always pay immigrants less. In most countries it's illegal if it's obviously a system, but a lot of the immigrants are on shaky residency ground as it is, so they won't put up a fuss.

In theory, the higher up you go, the more each employee knows how to do. The way it SHOULD work is that everyone can do the jobs of everyone below them.
Obviously, that's not reality once you hit upper management.
As >>725116310 said, you have a lot of really stupid moving pieces below you at CEO that you should be able to get to coordinate. Again, that's not how things should be, as hiring fewer people on merit is more likely to get you done within time and budget constraints than 1000 barely trained monkeys banging away at keyboards.
There were good CEOs of old, but that was back when companies were smaller and you could drive to all your employee's houses.

White collar unions are a fucking sham and are nearly all greed-driven. When you bully your employer into raising wages you also turn the entire working arrangement into a hostile quid-pro-quo where *everything* gets bogged down in collective bargaining bureaucracy. White collar unions overwhelmingly protect bad actors and DEI hires who abuse the protected status afforded by the union in order to work as little as possible. Rockstar is based for showing these fucking losers the door. If you broke the demographics down I guarantee it's overwhelmingly troons who took up the charge to try and unionize.

There are over 100 million units if you combine both PS5 and Xbox, at the same time in 2013 when GTAV released there were a total of around 170 million units of PS3 and 360 combined. Even with a larger number of people buying the game, I'd honestly be surprised if they have a larger launch than GTAV now, I think it's a bad idea to release first on consoles and then port to PC. Regardless, however, I cannot possibly imagine it is not a major success, even if it falls short of projections.

I do not care a single about RDR2. I never played it and never will.
Especially since Rockstar never evolved their mission design, if anything,it regressed by being more and more on rails and that's trash game design.
Can't see that changing in 6, since 5 suffered from that too. Also RDR1.
Also, 5's driving sucks, it's quite uninteresting even for Arcade racing style standards.

The game will never sell as much as GTAV until they pull the same stunt with the shark cards, and even then the console environment has only gotten worse outside of Nintendo, so if they're really sticking to only releasing the game on PS5 and SeX, they will 100% have a PC emergency port at the ready.

The driving being better is good at least, but really the lack of options in missions is trash. I like to experiment during those amd being forced to do what the game wants you to do it's shit. They should really improve on that.

Yes, and they did the same thing when GTAV released in 2013. There were still almost twice as many consoles it was released to at that time. You can link me to however many sales predictions you want from overpaid suits, the math is pretty clear. Unless 80 million people go out and buy a PS5 for this game it's probably going to sell a bit less. Also that first one there Konvoy saying 85 millions copies in the first 2 months is fucking insane.

GTA V sold 11.2 copies in the first day.
Granted, 11.21 million copies in 2013 was before digital games and social media became as big compared to today. That said, there are infinite amounts of digital copies to be sold and most people will want to preload the game before release and the only to do that, as far as I’m aware, is from a digital sale. So if I were to guess, probably around 20 million copies in the first day if not more.

people talk shit on death stranding but at least it reinvented the gameplay loop to make actual gameplay instead of the standard point and shoot. Imagine deeprock galatic but every mission is just point and shoot the bugs, that's the gameplay loop of a rockstar game. In rdr2 online they introduced multiple updates that are restructured versions of the previous gameplay loops, for example the naturalist update where you have to specifically not kill animals and collect samples of them for some hippy chick. Did they create a new trapping system or something interesting? Nah, you shoot the animal 10 times with a sedative .22 and then 'revive' it lmao

MASH X TO FIGHT BACK
TAP L and R to walk across the screen

they've totally lost it man, this would all be excusable if the modern game they're going to put out wasn't just a bad, unaware social critique unlike the previous ones that didn't take themselves so seriously and could make jokes that weren't basically 100% approved by the over arching society. Nobody played San Andreas or Vice City because of the gameplay being deep, the story and humor was fun and the open world idea was novel at the time.


Despite saying all this, the game will break all records, sell extremely well and overall be GTAV with a different skin.

Neither but maybe slightly more good than bad.
Game companies were better when they were made up of small teams of very driven people who were willing to dedicate to their projects, an environment where crunch time was the norm.

Whatever's happening on various news cycles around this are a symptom but not the cause for the current games industry however. Companies are too bloated and vultures circle to take advantage of that situation while games all enter longer and longer periods of development hell while old games are milked dry for even longer than they would've been before (we're STILL on Skyrim and GTA V).

There's no simple solution other than there needs to be room for small to mid-sized studios because indieslop is also pretty bad with only a handful of gems as exceptions.

Eventually a new form of media will appear to replace gaming like happened with movies and radio and for a time things will be fresh, authentic, and good in that industry until the cycle repeats itself.

GTAV was the largest entertainment release in history, I'm not saying it's impossible that VI will generate more sales, but with an adoption rate that would be needed at a way higher rate, and in a period of economic downturn for many consumers, I'm just not sure it will beat its predecessor. I wouldn't be surprised if it beat it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it failed either.

Why u think you're anymore better than fpsbros or sports-ball gamers? or casual gamers? What is it that you "GAME" that makes u superior?

Eh I can't wait to see reaction on /v/ once VI breaks literally every record by a mile.

Agreed, who the fuck cares about ancillary multiplayer garbage? Single player takes precedence always.

It's a good thing. Game developers long for crunch.

I like singleplayer for like, 2 weeks maybe.
I can play online and grind with the boys for months. It's just more fun with friends. I get bored in singleplayer and don't even bother to do side-quests and so on (unless the game is RPG styled like Elder Scrolls)

The Indian studio is for fixing map holes, and theyre a nightmare to deal with. But they're not programming.

I wouldn't be happy or sad, it would just be a fact that it did well. But that said I'm looking forward to the threads as well, I can already see them now lol

I actually think this will work in GTA6 favor. If people are going to invest in one game for the whole year, it will likely be GTA6. It’s going to likely provide the most bang for your buck out any new game that’s going to come out in that period

Fair point, both consoles lack a truly killer app so this might be the one that sets them off.

the only way the game isn't successful is if the game is so broken on launch, that people can barely boot it up
otherwise, it's going to sell like hotcakes, regardless of quality

Anyone who owns a modern console and actually buys games will absolutely crack the wallet for 6, thats basically given at this point. But whether or not these numbers will satisfy R* and justify the spending is whole another question.
Dunno what will happen with PC sales, cause it feels like PC gamers cooled a bit on this whole "paying for AA games" thing, but unless R* fucks up in some absolutely disastrous fashion, there will be quite a number of customers.
