This was a very enjoyable and insightful episode. Thank you to all involved. Anyone aspiring to get into the games industry .. Just make sure you're at the right place at the right time 😅
Appreciate Ben's insight, love being able to hear from developers who made these wonderful games. Whilst I haven't adapted VR yet, absolutely wish Ben and the developers at JustaddWater the best!
Rockstar has never been afraid to offend or ignore criticism. Never knew it would turn into offending and ignoring the fans. Abandoned RD2 one of the most profitable games in history, ignored GTA online problems and chose to only focus on problems that lead to people buying less shark cards. Ruining the opportunity to create a great collection of the original GTAs. Canceled Bully 2, canceled GTAV DLC, quit communicating about anything other than the latest minor additions to GTA, adding a subscription to put a bunch of vehicles and features behind a pay wall on a game that’s already a decade old which means it’s designed to apply pressure to all new fans to spend a lot of money to catch up quicker. Going from supporting GTA mods to actively trying to stop it and then switching back to trying to buy it out and add it as a feature in the future. Not dropping a single clip or screenshot or tweet in 11months and most likely over a year by the end of it. Some days im excited but some days all this information leaves me feeling bitter and skeptical.
@@derpeth2101 also, this interview's timing is interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if GTA VI o'clock and this old employee both know something that we don't.
So SO Good DD and JJ! This interview should be almost viral!! Interesting, informative, engaging and entertaining conversation. Brilliant. Been a fan and listened since the old show (gta five o clock). Great work and keep it up!!!
The GTA VI o'clock team, as always, exceeded expectations. Amazing interview. Great video, guys! Congratulations!!!! Keep up this amazing work!!!!! 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a load of bullshit about how rockstar games just handle your free thinking decisions to complete missions the way you want to. I've never known a more restrictive game design built into their missions. Mission failed if you don't park your car where rockstar tells you to, mission failed if you get off your horse too early, mission failed because you wore the wrong trousers, mission failed because you talked to the person rockstar didn't want you to talk to. Rockstar spends years creating these big open beautiful dynamic open worlds for you to explore out of the missions, and then they put the shackles on you in their mission design.
Fully agree. For all their flaws, Ubisoft games have a much bigger sense of freedom in missions. I hope they take a few pages out of Ubisoft's or Hitman's missions with GTA VI.
@magurmaas if he'd gone into anything other the VR I'd agree with you, but this is like having the most delicious meal of your life and then asking the waiter if he could fart into your coffee at the end.
@@FilthyGringoThat’s your perspective. He seems fulfilled so using your analogy, he went back to the buffet line and came out with a second plate full of goodies
From a Batley lad, Yorkshire 100% and I've also spent 4 years in the games industry, actually did a few hours testing work on 'Gta London' before R* was Rockstar, when they were "DMA" ...I think that was what they were called, anyway all the best my fellow Yorkshireman!!
@Oliver-The-Mighty oh yeah, it was a long time ago, some 25 years since I worked for Runecraft, I was involved in the making of some 30 games over 4 years... Best job I ever had being a Games Tester for that company. The PS1 days were the golden age of gaming 😊👍
I think the only things to worry about are a good story and actual story dlc (we’re not getting that). I think the developers who are still left on the team will make an amazing game to play. The gameplay mechanics will definitely blow us away. But I doubt this story and characters will rival RDR2. It might end up being on par with GTA 5
Even though he revealed absolutely nothing, literally every media outlet is going to be dissecting the last couple minutes of this podcast for headlines later this week or early next week. Just watch.
Question for JJ and DD; Will the outcome of the US presidential election have any bearing on whether GTA6 will be delayed? And Q2. Do you think there will be a parody version of Mar a lago?
Seems like a fair question, i don’t know why all the other brainless replies are saying otherwise since Dan Houser did say they would not release a gta game under Trump’s presidency.
@@aaxel_dz Because half of us arent even American and don't care about America and their stupid antics. Why can't we just go one day without American politics being bought up on the internet. It's a podcast about a video game what does that have to do with anything political? And no Dan Houser didn't say they wouldn't release GTA, he said he's thankful they're not releasing GTA 6 while Trump was in power so stop twisting words.
LOL I have seen the leaked gta 5 source, it's not c#, and you do not run c# on consoles either. it's all c and c++ and the scripting is their own c++ script they came up using pre-compiler magic
I'd still argue that there are no good VR games. I'm not going to buy a VR headset to play some crappy Ass creed game or Half life. There's a reason R* don't bother with VR, cus it's just like mobile gaming, it's for filthy casuals.

@benhinchliffe7696 when it comes out, would be cool to interview you and team on it!
Those last couple sentences will be the headline of dozens of articles next week. Just watch.
It’s cool to see some rockstar devs coming to share some thoughts about gta and other games
Definitely trying that wagon trick on RDR2 now
hahaha yeah as soon as i heard that i was like "i must try this out!" 😅👍
This was a very enjoyable and insightful episode. Thank you to all involved.

The old R* is dead buddy time to accept it.
@ I do accept that buddy. Doesn’t mean I can’t put it all into words for fun.
@DevonChampion if you hate them so much don't buy gta 6
@@thehoopman88 They are about to release the biggest game ever. How are they dead? lol
@@juu57857 I don’t “hate them so much” I just pointed out facts. I don’t have to like it, but I also don’t have to stay silent about it.
Very interesting & unique interview. Brilliant job guys
Dan it is your god damn destiny to figure out what happened with the Chilliad mural. DO NOT GIVE UP!
Plot twist: to be continued in Vice City 🤯😂🙏🏼
@@RatAPewie We can hope but I have a feeling it died along with the canceled DLCs
So new trailer coming december we hope ❤
How did you make this conclusion bro
@@mxjokereh would make sense to be fair, it's been a year soon, so it'll either be pretty soon or early next year.
@@derpeth2101 Yeah I know we can only pray

This was a really really good interview and very informative. I love it. Great work guys 🌟
Another great episode guys keep it up :-) I am I’m a fan throwing through :-)

That was a very exciting cliff hanger he left us with at the end of
Fascinating interview Gentlemen!
Been thinking of getting a Quest for a while now I'm going to finally bite the bullet and get this game. More interviews please
hopefully Ben Hinchliffe is in GTA 6 credits!!! cause he did see a FAIR bit of GTA 6 in 2021 #GTAVI #GTA6
Excellent show guys, really enjoyed the interview
NGL leaving Rockstar to work on VR gotta be the fumble of the century
No, he has already achieved what 99% of the devs dream of. Man is following his own path.
@magurmaas if he'd gone into anything other the VR I'd agree with you, but this is like having the most delicious meal of your life and then asking the waiter if he could fart into your coffee at the end.
Ben Hinchliffe already saw GTA 6 before you lil bro
Lmao

As someone from Sheffield, I knew he'd say he worked at Rockstar Leeds. YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE.
From a Batley lad, Yorkshire 100% and I've also spent 4 years in the games industry, actually did a few hours testing work on 'Gta London' before R* was Rockstar, when they were "DMA" ...I think that was what they were called, anyway all the best my fellow Yorkshireman!!
@MickyBee73 that's a great story! You must be amazed how much the games have changed
@Oliver-The-Mighty oh yeah, it was a long time ago, some 25 years since I worked for Runecraft, I was involved in the making of some 30 games over 4 years... Best job I ever had being a Games Tester for that company. The PS1 days were the golden age of gaming 😊👍
In all seriousness awesome insight and great get! Id love to learn more from ben
Really good epsiode guys!
Great interview👏
definitely more interviews like this would be cool B) love the info
So much great questions, excellent episode!
Great interview Dan,very interesting to hear how things work, tempted to go back to RDR2 now and check out the moonshine mission 😂.
This makes me want a making of for gta 6. Could only imagine expectations and mastery of ones craft to work at R*
Nice interview!
very good interview
definitely gonna let the wagon pass the next time i play that mission

The gameplay mechanics will definitely blow us away. But I doubt this story and characters will rival RDR2. It might end up being on par with GTA 5
Rockstar Leeds? Leeds!? Uni of Huddersfield!?
Is right Yokshire
Yes, very near where I live in West Yorkshire, I'm about 6 miles from Leeds 👍
@@MickyBee73 I'm a scouser living in Huddersfield now. Love it here!
@adamroberts5473 Nice one mate, glad you like it, I've lived in Batley all my life, it's a nice area is Huddersfield and around here 👍
Oh shit, it’s Wednesday already? Preemptive comment, diving in now, LFG!
Rockstar deserves that 4th “A” ;)
New Dragon Age tomorrow. Let's go!
GTA VI o clock news is BREAKING NEWS
Even though he revealed absolutely nothing, literally every media outlet is going to be dissecting the last couple minutes of this podcast for headlines later this week or early next week. Just watch.
Think about how sick would be for a modern day San Andreas would be if you haven’t already 🤔 what a dream
It's Wednesday 👊🏻
Another banger 🔥 W
So he just basically confirmed that GTA 6 won't be VR, did u get that?
good
This game will be thriving a decade after it releases. Maybe VR will eventually be considered years down the road
Hellooo there nice interview 😊
This guy says GTA5 gives you freedom. I must have played a different version.
It's not on Spotify yet?
Did you ask him about the last fish supper though?
Nice
GTA online ruined gta series
nope
Skill issue
Disagree, GTA Online and the modding scene have kept GTA relevant and popular to this day.
Left rockstar cause he played one VR game…… mistake lol
Question for JJ and DD; Will the outcome of the US presidential election have any bearing on whether GTA6 will be delayed?
And Q2. Do you think there will be a parody version of Mar a lago?
I’m genuinely confused at the first question. Who, what, when, where, why… Emphasis on the why.
GTFO of here with your politics, half of us arent even yanks so we don't care about your scuzzhole of a country.
Unless they literally ban the game, no, obviously not.
Seems like a fair question, i don’t know why all the other brainless replies are saying otherwise since Dan Houser did say they would not release a gta game under Trump’s presidency.
