Former Rockstar game designer Ben Hinchliffe says GTA 6 will blow you away with how realistic it is.
As discovered by Dexerto, Hinchliffe appeared on the GTAVIoclock podcast (timestamped here), and at one point was asked about GTA 6, which he worked on before leaving Rockstar and founding his own studio, Just Add Water Development, in May 2022.
“I think just seeing when I left, where I was, and playing that final version and how much, if anything, things have changed,” he said when asked what he's most excited about about GTA 6. “Obviously, I was aware of a lot of new things, content, stories and so on, so I would love to know how it evolved and how it turned out in the end.”
Hinchliffe was then asked what he thinks will “surprise” fans the most when playing GTA 6, and he suggested it will be the evolution in the game's realism compared to previous Rockstar projects.
“Yeah, I mean, you just have to look at how every game Rockstar has made has evolved in some way. You could argue that every element of the game moves forward in terms of feeling more realistic and people acting and behaving more.” realistic”. each game is repeated through each cycle.
“So I think it's going to blow people's minds. It's going to sell an absolute ton, as always. People will be talking about it for years, just like they did with GTA 5, and, yeah, I'm very, very excited.” for people to get their hands on it and play it, just because I believe [Rockstar] has raised the bar again. They always do it and they have done it again in GTA 6.”
Another Rockstar veteran, Obbe Vermeij, recently made similar comments, saying that the studio can take its time with GTA 6 because “there's no competition to worry about” and the game “will be sold for over 10 years” anyway.
Currently, GTA 6 will be released in 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
