GTA 6

There is also some significant news about GTA 6 itself, as the report here says that one of the game's two protagonists will be a Latina woman, one half of ...

The bulk of the story is about major changes that Rockstar has tried to make with its games, company and culture to become less of a “frat house” than it was accused of being previously. While I’m sure things aren’t perfect, these sound like significant, positive changes being made at the company since GTA 5 was released, which is great to see. Also in the report is information about how the scope of the game has been reduced.

While most Grand Theft Auto stars are men, a handful of women have lit up the town, too.

The next game in the series to let you play as a woman was GTA 2, but specifically the Game Boy Color port of Rockstar’s open-world sequel. If the reports of a woman co-starring in Grand Theft Auto 6 are true, it will still be a big deal for the series, as its previous attempts at including women have been mostly low-effort palette swaps and not well-written or fully voiced characters with their own personalities. But, technically, you could play as a woman in Grand Theft Auto all the way back in the late ‘90s. Many observers assumed this would be the first time Rockstar had ever let a woman star in a GTA game. But if you’re a big enough GTA nerd, you know that isn’t the case. The key word in that last sentence is “technically.”

According to Bloomberg, GTA 6 will feature a pair of playable bank robbers, one of them being Latina, and the story takes cues from Bonnie and Clyde — an actual ...

Check out some of the best reactions below. Remember that GTA 6 is likely many years from release, though, so all of this could change. However, many fans are clapping back by either talking the angry folks down or outright clowning on them.

A report about changing working conditions at Rockstar Games has also revealed several new details about the characters and world of GTA 6.

If one of the biggest and most successful studios in the video game industry has the capacity to turn a toxic and unhealthy working culture around, then others can certainly follow suit. In 2018, a New York Magazine interview with Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser revealed that people on the development team would work several 100-hour weeks during the development of Red Dead Redemption 2. Details of the studio’s changing culture, previously labelled as ‘frat boy’ and involving ‘excursions to strip clubs’ among other things, are also accompanied by reports that Rockstar Games is attempting to alter its style of humour to avoid targeting marginalised people and relying on crude stereotypes.

Mais pour ceux qui veulent un nouveau mode histoire, GTA 6 se fait attendre. Le jeu a même récemment été lancé sur la nouvelle génération de consoles. C’est un duo inspiré de Bonnie & Clyde qui sera mis de l’avant dans GTA 6, selon Jason Schreier pour Bloomberg. Une source près du studio Rockstar aurait affirmé que l’un des personnages jouables sera, en effet, une femme aux origines latines.

Nous apprenons également que les multiples changements opérés par Rockstar Games impactent directement le développement de Grand Theft Auto 6. Dans un nouveau rapport de Jason Schreier, cette fois publié chez Bloomberg, nous apprenons que l’éditeur de jeux vidéo a procédé à plusieurs changements. Des horaires fixes, la limitation des heures supplémentaires, l’embauche de sous-traitants, la réduction de l’écart salarial entre hommes et femmes et le retrait des managers toxiques ont eu un effet bénéfique sur l’équipe. Nous apprenons que le moral des équipes n’a jamais été aussi haut chez Rockstar Games.

Selon un reportage de Bloomberg, GTA 6 mettrait en vedette un personnage féminin, une première pour la série. (Crédit image à la une: Rockstar).

Cependant, les développeurs seraient sceptiques, toujours selon les sources de Bloomberg. Le jeu, qui est en développement depuis 2014, prendrait encore au moins 2 ans de travail de développement avant d’être prêt à être sorti. Le jeu serait tout de même rempli de contenu à sa sortie. Le jeu proposerait aux joueurs une ville à explorer basée sur la ville ensoleillée de Miami et ses environs.

Enfin ! Après de nombreux fakes et rumeurs plus ou moins fiables, nous avons eu droit à des informations d'une toute autre ampleur, transmises par ...

(...) Et au cours des quatre dernières années, la direction a promis que des heures supplémentaires excessives ne seraient pas nécessaires pour Grand Theft Auto VI. Le respect de cet engagement a déjà entraîné des changements dans le jeu. Mais à quoi cela ressemble-t-il ? Et que cela implique pour le prochain jeu de la boîte, GTA 6 ?, a déclaré J. Schreier. Ces changements auraient bousculé les habitudes de production, et cela expliquerait un temps de développement plus long. Les plans originaux pour le titre, qui porte le nom de code Project Americas, devaient être plus vastes que n'importe quel jeu Grand Theft Auto à ce jour. Dans un long article publié sur Bloomberg, Jason Schreier explique que, pour la première fois, les joueurs pourront incarner une femme latino-américaine et un autre personnage en guise de personnages principaux. Tous les détails concernant le jeu en lui-même sont à retrouver dans notre news dédiée.

The Thursday letters page is unsurprised by the Knights Of The Old Republic remake problems, as one reader talks up Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Remakes and remasters are more popular than ever at the moment, but which has been your favourite and why? I do play it now and again but I barely ever remember the characters’ names. Alas, it’s a shame to hear people find Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a weak link; I initially agreed with your 7/10 review and often felt a bit overwhelmed with everything going on in each battle, but knew enough about the mechanics to get by without too much hassle… Late to the party but I’ve just played Final Fantasy 7 Remake and… Shame the game didn’t explain all these hidden features, meaning most reviewers/players never could truly appreciate what is one of the most deep and satisfying battle systems. I didn’t realise the Xbox Series X was easy to get but after reading your article I checked Amazon and they did have some in stock. These are just my personal choices and opinions and I do not expect them to fall in line with everyone else. There’s all this talk of Elden Ring being a massive hit and bound to influence games for years to come but, err… There’s no clue when the next game after that is, so what happens when Starfield comes out next spring, and what if it’s even bigger? I found it odd that the setting was described as Miami rather than Vice City, but then I realised that the new game will be counted as the next generation of GTA. The other big question for me is whether the game is set in the 80s or not, like the previous game. I wonder then if this new one will ditch the fake cities and just have real ones instead.

Rockstar has already confirmed that the next Grand Theft Auto game, popularly referred to as GTA 6, is in active development; but, the studio hasn't offered ...

However, the article claims that developers are skeptical. GTA 6’s world will be the largest in franchise history, which more interior locations than any previous Grand Theft Auto game, but original plans were for it to be even better. I assume GTA 6 will also have an online component as well, but it’s exciting that the single-player portion could also be updated.

However, the report said Rockstar Games has since downsized its plans, and the game's main map is now reportedly based on the fictionalized Miami, also known in ...

Rockstar only confirmed the development of “GTA 6” last February, but the report said the studio started working on it in some capacity way back in 2014. Kotaku noted that “GTA 6” will not be the first time “Grand Theft Auto” players will have an option to play as a female character. Schreier’s sources suggested that “GTA 6” will still feature a larger map that features more interior locations than earlier “GTA” titles. A female protagonist for “GTA 6” is not new information. Schreier said the “GTA 6” leading characters were inspired by the American criminal couple, Bonnie and Clyde. But fans might still have to wait for at least two years before they can get their hands on the much-awaited game.

That much we know about the game. Rockstar Games has confirmed this, stating that development is "well underway" and that they will "share more as soon as [they] ...

A worrying sign for GTA 6 came from multiple leaks about the development of the game. One of the most persistent rumors in regard to the GTA 6 characters, states that you will be able to play as multiple characters again, just like in GTA 5. The pro-active GTA community quickly jumped to the theory, that this could be a teaser for Vice City in GTA 6. And Vice City hasn't been in any GTA since Vice City (2002) and Vice City Stories (2006), so it would be time for another crack at the sunlit setting for GTA 6. A newer leak didn't concern itself with the main protagonists, but rather with other characters that could appear in GTA 6. One of the first prominent theories was, that GTA 6 will see the return of Vice City. Rockstar's fictional version of Miami could make a return in the latest installment of the series. If you get to play as a woman in GTA 6, it looks like she wouldn't be the only protagonist in the game. Multiple reports suggested that the next GTA could be set at some point in the past. Tenz also talked a lot about GTA 6 and the potential release date, of course. More fuel to the fire of a possible 2024 release date for GTA 6 was provided by famed leaker Tom Henderson, who is known for his high-quality reporting and reliable sources. Another press release by the company expected an annual growth of 14%. Both numbers are so big, that, according to business insiders, only a game as important as GTA 6 could be the root cause of them. The first solid indicator for a GTA 6 release date in that time frame came from a financial report by Take-Two, Rockstar's publisher.

In the wake of a new Bloomberg report that talks about Rockstar scaling back on some potentially offensive content for Grand Theft Auto VI, and revealing a ...

GTA as a series has allowed players to slaughter police by the truckload since the GTA 3 days, so what, is it going to be used as a conservative talking point now that GTA 6 is “anti-cop” if that tradition continues? You could have GTA 6 star Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez herself and there are not enough offended conservative people in the world to boycott this to make it anything less than a monster hit. What is actually “woke” about what was described in the Bloomberg piece?
