The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has been building for over a decade, making it one of the most eagerly awaited video games of all time. However, some fans are expressing hesitation about the upcoming release following a recent update. Rockstar Games released the first trailer for GTA 6 in December, revealing that the game will be set in Vice City and feature a female lead character named Lucia. Despite the promising trailer, a former Rockstar Games developer, Obbe Vermeij, has shared a potentially disappointing perspective.
Vermeij, who worked at Rockstar for over 20 years, suggested that GTA 6 might not be significantly different from its predecessor, GTA 5. He mentioned that while some fans might be disappointed initially, the game is still expected to be one of the best available. He attributed the lack of revolutionary changes to the slow pace of technological advancements in the gaming industry. Vermeij emphasized the need for innovations in animation and AI-driven physics, expressing hope that Rockstar might pioneer these changes.
Despite Vermeij’s tempered expectations, he believes GTA 6 will still be a good game. However, his comments have led some fans to voice concerns about the game’s potential to live up to the hype. Some have speculated that the gameplay might remain largely unchanged from previous installments, which has fueled doubts about the game’s ability to meet high expectations. GTA 6 is expected to be released in the fall of 2025, and the gaming community remains keenly interested in how Rockstar will address these concerns.
