Why It’s Literally Impossible for Rockstar to Make a Mid Game
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 січ 2025
- Rockstar Games, which employs thousands of people, works on projects worth hundreds of millions, such as GTA 6 or Red Dead Redemption 2, and has many risks to release at least an average or financially failed game, has never made a mistake.
In fact, everything is very simple. Rockstar simply does something that others cannot repeat for some reason, although they try... but what is it that they lack? What is the secret sauce of Rockstar Games that no other company can replicate, even with the same ingredients...

if the story be a shit, I'll be just exploring the wolrd for 300 hours anyway
That’s assuming the open world is well designed.
@@DroolingDrillingyesterday i was doing the challenges and animal study and i had to explore part of the map i didn’t before or didn’t bother really exploring. I discovered so many easter egg and found some very beautiful scenery. Gta 6 will probably not feel the same as rdr is more of mountains and nature but i know they will make it so the world feel alive with all sort of gimmicks, they have too.
@sicariodu9546 that’s literally a standard feature in any open world game. You can say the manual placement of detail due to infinite resources, time, and employee size is unrivalled by Cockstar because they’re the only ones with those kinds of conditions, do it the best, but that’s literally to be expected XD.
Hell linear games like TLOU have small areas you can go to away from the beaten path to find Easter eggs and details. Fucking Zelda has that shit, so does AC, so does Witcher, so does Elden Ring. It’s called exploring the map XD.
@@DroolingDrilling none other game does it at the same scall as rockstar tho. The map is evolving while you play the game and new house are getting build. There is 178 different animal species and many of them have different visible behavior. You were saying "assuming the open world is well designed". There is not 1000 way of doing a realistic open world so of course many game use the same formula but some look like shit like ac or have shitty graphics and no world interaction like elden rings. In rdr2 you can interact with almost anything the map as to offer. The point is that the map is fun to explore and even after hundreds of hours of playthrough i kept discovering stuff.
Also rockstar can always create a new story like episodes of liberty city the hardest part of development is already complete which is the Map so even if the story is trash we can only hope we get story DLC
They can’t make a mid game but they sure as hell can make an absolutely abysmal port or remaster
@loganrh the port wasn’t bad or anything, I’ve beat the story on the port. It just didn’t add anything. It was essentially just the game on ps4 and switch.
Now if we’re talking about the gta “deffective edition” that’s a whole other story.
@@Zeperpoolyea San Andreas for ps4 is good, the defective editions are laughable
GTA 6 will be worth 6 billions will have 600 million sales the first week, 60 million daily online players on 6 different platforms
Satan
and it will be 6/10
@@Coltarait will be 60/10
3 Billons first 24h, 16 Billons first 3-6 years
and only top 6 richest people on earth will be able to afford a copy
Ahhh Table tennis, is where rockstar wanted to test their rage engine for GTA IV, after San Andreas... Yes, they release table tennis game just to test their new graphic engine
physics engine*
started playing gta 3 when i was 4 years old (yeah, in eastern europe parents don’t really care at all about video games), now i’m 23 and i’m more excited than ever for gta 6
Rockstar is just Mr. Crabs nowadays.
Blackrockstar
They SpongeBob cause they be cooking
And your just Patrick Star… 😒
true but they can kinda get away with it imo bc they make good games. it's not cheap to make them either
But their krabby patty’s are still fire 🔥
I will only say one thing, Dan Houser, he was the director almost every GTA and RDR games, without him I dont believe the games will suceed or feel same as old games,without captain there will be no ship, last example Metal Gear Survive
Exactly, he was the backbone and with him gone, no way they can do better than their previous games.
Also, have you seen the staff of Rockstar?😒
Not just him, imran sarwar, lazlow, lots of old devs... michael unsworth
@@madhunter6420 I guess RDR 2 was the goodbye letter after All.
I think they still worked on the script and other pre-developpement things back in 2014 before leaving the studio
@@dvd.- yeah
I think Gta 6 will be a Mid game.
It won't be as good as previous games, but it'll still be a solid game.
7:13 Also, Sleeping Dogs was an absolute masterpiece. You may call it a GTA clone but never after completing the game or even just the story. Rockstar once understood that not a lotta players wanna play as cops so they made the player a criminal, whereas sleeping dogs gives you the option to be both, SIMULTANEOUSLY. The parkour ,the details, and in some aspects ,especially vehicles a lot better than GTA V[which came about a year after sleeping dogs], or any other game of its time, for that matter..yet, it failed but still remains in the hearts of fans, A true masterpiece
Only CDPR can match Rockstars energy.but they're still finding their feet.
maybe the new witcher 4 can work
Saints raw could have been a real competition to gta6 but they made an utterly desasterous shitty slop game that the studio behind it got shut down .
Calling people regarded while not being able to pronounce similarly is bold

Understandable , women are so delicious i can't imagine being attracted to another man....hahaaha
Truth though.
GTA games were some of the first games I’ve ever played ever since I was around 5 years old and I’m still to this day playing and being excited for new Rockstar games now 22 years old
Rockstar only made sloppy Max Payne 3. MP 1 and 2 are Remedy products, so you're giving them too much credit. They just published max payne.
Rest Max Payne 3 wasn't sloppy.
Maxpayne3 is one of best TPS of all time.
@chantelsopio5826 thank you
@@jodelthing588 it's disrespectful to the first two games and is a departure from what made them great
Lmao the creators og two games approved maxpayne 3, who the hell are you to say it's disrespectful 😂😂@@SardonicJosh
This could age badly when gta 6 comes out.
Everyones been having high expectations of this game and personally with the main guys at rockstar who made the previous games arent working snymore, gta 6 could be the 1st mid game they're going to publish.
I hope that im wrong :c
4:04 how the AI pronounces San Ann dreas....
3:58 this part is (R word YT doesn’t like). That’s not reinventing/innovating. Not fundamentally based on the criteria you laid out. You listed off a bunch of games that are fundamentally the same in each entry and only add/experiment in tiny aspects. Followed by listing off a bunch of tiny aspects GTA experimented with. The core design philosophy behind GTA has remained the same all throughout the franchise’s history.
None of these things fundamentally changed GTA, they are quite literally iterative improvements. I do agree that they were experimental, but so were other games. AC for example did have quite big changes game to game. Fundamentally all are still AC, but they each used to have some feature that was unique to a particular game.
Furthermore, the whole argument of “other companies stick to what works” is again, (R word YT doesn’t like) because the exact same can be said about Cockstar. They have been the same for ages. GTA 5 was the safest sequel to 4.
Hell GTA 5 and RDR2 was in many ways a downgrade from the previous games. They stripped down a shit ton of features opting for a more generic design.
They also absolutely benefit from endless resources and therefore endless dev time and thousands of employees. The only ones you can compare Cockstar too in terms of these criteria would be Ubisoft. Except that is also not a fair comparison because whilst Ubisoft has more than double of employees (Cockstar about 5,000, Ubiflop about 12,000) they never all work on the same project. Skull and Bones which you cited as proof that endless dev time isn’t automatically proof of success, is true except it’s not a fair comparison. Skull and Bones had like 200 devs, with constant leadership changes. Hell that game was essentially designed to scam Singapore out of money, they financed it.
If Ubiflop, like Cockstar, had a dirty Online cash cow game mode which generated $1 Billion a year at least, with all 12,000 employees working on one game over the span of 10 years, with a single spearhead all throughout, that game would have the density of features and details you would expect to see in a Cockstar game.
But again, literally no other company has this much independent freedom as Cockstar.
_Applause._
I believe that both Rockstar and Valve try to follow a similar business model when making games. They avoid franchise fatigue by not releasing too many unnecessary sequels or games every year. They only release their products when they are almost 100% certain their games will push forward some new boundary or technology. This is why GTA 6 is taking more than 10 years(Although I also suspect they took advantage of the profits GTA Online was making so they milked as much as they could from it to postpone the release of a new game, much like Steam allows Valve to not have to release a new game to keep money coming to the studio). A Half-life 3 hasn't seen the light of the day yet, but we did get Half-life Alyx(which tried to push the boundary of FPS games by its use of VR Headset technology, which looked amazing in my opinion as it felt so different being able to interact with an FPS world with my hands using the VR headset ).
Nah . It's possible . For the first time in more than 20 years . The heart and soul of all GTA and red dead Dan houser left the company. He was the writer of everything . So
Rockstar breathes and that breaks the internet!
Video title: rockstar can’t make mid games
Gta def edition
Love the quality editing on all your vids!
this video deserves much more viwes keep going!!!
Technically Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is not a mid game
its a bad game
Rockstar did not develop that game, they've only published it so I'm not counting this one
@@Nate_M_PCMR they aare fixing it too which is good
@@HomerNuke about time
Definitely it's not a game. It's a "remaster"
Technically still ITS not even a new title game Its a Remaster understand its not a new Project its a Bad remaster of already great games which thn again wasnt even made by people who made the original games
Awesome video man! Rockstar really are in a league of their own. 🐐
Definitive Edition says hello
It's not mid
@ it’s horrible
It was made by another studio
@@Pedrovargas122 So was Max Payne 1 & 2 same thing with midnight club lol and your point? Rockstar only made a handful of games they just act as a publish/investor. For example Max Payne was made by remedy entertainment. The read dead series & midnight club was made by angel studios aka rockstar San Diego. Even GTA 6 that you fan boys are over hyped for is being made by another studio called “behavior interactive” stop defending your favorite billon dollar corporation who just wants your wallet and doesn’t care about giving you a quality product. The rockstar you grew up with during the 6th & 7th gen are looooong gone buddy
@@Imhighinparisbro Hear me out.......maybe, just maybe if you guys didnt refer to every other open world crime game as a "gTa CLoNe", then we still would've had competition to GTA like a new True Crime game, a new Sleeping Dogs game, a new Godfather game (etc...). If Rockstar had actual competition, then they would've been forced to release GTA6 much sooner. But because they have ZERO competitors, they got lazy and just milk the same outdated GTA5 for over 11 yrs. So you guys got no1 to blame but yourselves for waiting over a decade for a new GTA game....
IDK man have you played the online versions? (I can say this because they sell the online versions as standalones)
Not for GTA 5
@@Nate_M_PCMRGTA Online fucking blows
Bro only 1k subscribers? The editing in the video was atleast 100k views worthy you are gonna make it big
I didn’t realize that until you pointed that out lol. Bro definitely making it big
@sergioorejel9949 yeah and he's just starting bro's gonna make those bags in the future fr lol
even if the story is trash everyone gonna have fun in probably biggest map to be ever designed in games history
you forget the halirious NPCs you're gonna encounter 😂😂😂 its gonna be a blast
10:05 valve
True but they are more into their steam business these days :

It’s not a bad song
@@dynamic-88,yep, It's absolutely Dogshit.
Yeah it was not that bad
is it me or does Rockstar pick the best music to immerse you into their worlds? also you earned sub well informed and straight to the point.
This was a great video.
GTA online: Am I a joke to you?
great vid my man luv u
thx, luv u too
@@radical_cap 9:58 I see saintsfan gta 6 video nice video by the way
Dan Houser is no longer their, and censorship of entertainment is at an all time high. Freedom of mind in terms to their creative properties is their greatest asset. Should the powera that be interfere and change the " DNA" of what make Rockstar, Rockstar ( violence, themes, crude and crass humor, and "push the envelope) they could go like so many other studios as of late. Dan Houser is no longer there and that's very telling
"all of us can make mistakes" *shows someone wearing a rainbow bracelet* . Damn bro, you're based.
5:56
I keep asking myself what an “exspearament” is too 😂
All of the guys who you put in the video to talk about rockstar don't work there anymore they left to make their own company for "some reason"
there are only 2 companies i know who don’t make mid games
(rockstar is one of them)
GTA6 will be too woke.
Never played any GTA before 3 I see.
GTA and GTA 2 weren't just "mid" they bombed, it was the jump to 3D GTA that saved the series. They definitely can make mid, people will just glaze it harder than Krispy Kreme.
So many people will be disapointed from GTA 6 when they find that the game is WokeDEI
This wont age well. GTA VI is gonna make that last Saints Row game look like an honest effort.
So well edited video! loved it! keep it up man!
W edits twin❗️
Still waiting for another Midnight Club
Bro stop the glazing. At least do your research, you even credited Rockstar for work done by Remedy Games and Team Bondi. Bullet time is not a Rockstar invention, the facial animation tech is also not a Rockstar invention, it was a Sony funded project. Rockstar didn't even develop Max Payne or La Noire.
Heck, even Euphoria physics were not invented by Rockstar, they licence the tech from Natural Motion who made it.
Rockstar's games are popular because of 'Nostalgia' and brand perception. GTA 5 is so mid from a gameplay and open world perspective, with some of the worst combat mechanics i've ever experienced
It's a good video essay on understanding Rockstar Games.
In United Front Games defence, they were making a sequel but their publisher Square Enix forced them to a shitty triad mmo mobile game, causing United Front Games to become bankrupt. Sequel plot was leaked in 2016 and it sounded like it would've been a good game. Shame we won't see it happen
Aye bro nice channel , ima buy a mic soon and start commentary aswell , looks like it’s been good for you hope u blow up bro
Rockstar has never made game that wasn't mid.
As a Rockstar employee, I can confirm it's impossible for us to make a mid game.
yeah and my dad is sam houser
My dad works for Microsoft and he will ban your PSN account
Gta 5 sucks.
I hope this game is great I’m just worried it will go woke and try to please everyone
I think the only company in gaming 2nd to Rockstar in generating hype is early to mid 2010s Bethesda, the hype for Skyrim and Fallout 4 in 2011 and 2015 respectively was out of this world, not quite on a GTA level, but getting there, sadly they've fallen off incredibly hard
Max payne 1 and 2 is still my top 10 games
honestly bully is very mid like every mission is a random side quest except for the boss at the end of each part
GTA Trilogy 💀
mobile game companey worked on it. they have done this with LA noire
Rock star games aren't "masterpieces" except for rdr2! Any of their other games even Max Payne are pure trash.
got recommended this great video dude
Clicked off as soon as I heard the word woke. Quickest way to ensure I don’t take you seriously
The second sequence of the video is BASED
That thumbnail says alot..
I hope GTA 6 will be good and not a pile of trash like all the other recent AAA games
Grand Theft Auto V is mid imo. GTA Online is another story.
Are you like kinda unknowledgeable about games overall or is your editor unknowledgeable? When you mentioned "The first 2 Assassin's Creed games" you showed a clip of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood's cinematic trailer which is not one of the first 2 AC games. When you mention the "First Call of Duty" adding a cinematic style there's a clip of the trailer for Call of Duty 2 not the first one. This many oversights?
They will be fine they did a quick easter egg for tommy from vice city
They care. That is the only reason.
Rockstar and valve are one of if not the best game publishers out there
"san an dree uzz"
Mate gta5 was sooooo mid! That story was no where near on the same level as gta4, san andreas, vice city
Rage bait 0/10
My birthday is on 1st January...
Great video! 👍
if rockstar ever dropped the standard, we're doomed 😂
man this guy can cook imma subscribe
A masterpiece of a video!
Now, do something unique with the next one, and sit back.
We forgot gta remaster?
That ping pong game was mid tbh
Sleeping Dogs is actually good ngl
And then theres valve who dont give any fs to its game or players. After many years of struggle they released a card game and thats all. [cs2]
They’ve done it before
GTA advanced... GTA CTS...
I've had it with Rockstar and their mid games, their games are equivalent of sims for guys. The whole play it your way sandbox was never my favourite to begin with and the clunky gameplay which is jack of all trades master of none. Shooting is awkward, driving is mid the only good thing about most Rockstar games are visuals. Imo any far cry after 3 or cyberpunk 2077 has much better open world.
Rockstar gets by because their fans are either middle age guys with nostalgia or teenagers who think being a criminal is cool.
yeah they fired the dude who wrote the story for gta 5 and redead 2 and the new gta will have a shit story
U forgot about the shitty remastered triology though
that's not mid
that's terrible
Rockstar only published it, It was remastered by an indie company
@@aryaibrahim5818 Rockstar only published La Noire and Max Payne too so stop crediting them for those games. They didnt even develop the first Red Dead game
@@Ccccc-mi3tr they made Max Payne 3 1st 2 were made by a different company
@@aryaibrahim5818Rockstar had to approve the game though. Isn’t it also pretty shitty that they decided to hire a 21 employee studio for the job? Why cheap out that much?
You forgot Valve
GTA V was already mid, they cant make it again, IV has to break everyone minds at least like IV did
Just curious, are you gay? I noticed a lot of gay references in your videos. Not sure what message you are trying to put out there. Are you gay or not?
Maybe he just admire them...or not😂
As someone who was born on January 1st, I've been using That joke for like 5 years now😂
Man, you're good
Why does this guy kinda sound like smi77y
You forgot the part where they fell off
they never did
@@JarringSteak Yes they did, by releasing 1 game a decade, by focusing on the crap gta online, which is mid at best. Even 1 Houser brother, that was one of the main writers of all their best games, left Rockstars.
gta 5 - 2013, rdr2 - 2018, (eah gta online are the pain for single player fans, okay), gta 6 - 2025, and these games are just monsters and much larger and more ambitious than the previous ones. What are you talking about? I was doubting gta6 cuz Hauser, but after the trailet I'm more on the positive side about them.
@@СергейПротасов-к4ъ what did the trailer show, but a strong willed independent woman? Nothing I (a fan of every gta game) would be proud of. "Oh wow look they made references to viral videos that are from Florida" "DU UHHH, I HAVE TO PLAY AND PREORDER THIS SHIT, BECAUSE I AM DUMB AS FK"...
@sasalalkovic8804 yeah, that agenda are annoying, and they kinda gave in already in rdr2. Still they big, in terms of technology and visuals. The GTA6 shows that this is the real game, and technology being used are superior. And stylistically the games looks amazing to me. At the other hand strong and abusive woman and how man let themselves manipulate - are todays trend indeed.
It's going to be DEI dogshit.
Be vary , people said its impossible for the Titanic to sink , and remember never pre-order !
this is literally "Rockstar Games" you don't know them
For the love of God, let's hope you're right
max payne was developed by remedy entertainment not rockstar games they were responsible for making max payne 3
I don't know man GTA 5 seems pretty mid for me tbh
Gta 6 will be a disappointment. Rockstar is not what is was 10+ years ago
Copeee it's gonna be peak 🔥🔥
It wasn’t the same company between GTA 3 and GTA V either, or between V and RDR2. Yet they still made bangers
No
this video was the masterpiece
