What Grand Theft Auto Writer's Leaving Means For GTA 6

Screen Rant Writes: Dan Houser's departure could affect GTA.

[Orionsangel]

It means the GTA series will now have Saints Row level writing lol.

Gta 5 didn’t have a great story, it had some great characters, but the story’s was eh at best. And I’d take some, just some, saints row-ish story in my gta. Like 10%

[Profchaos]

Yeah I've been saying that for a while just from a story perspective GTA IV and it's episodes had a significantly better story just looking at the story only..
The arc of all the characters involved had a significantly larger amount of depth simply killing a biker in GTA IV was trivial until playing tlad and realising it's Johnny's friend there's so much Intertwined

[Psychotica]

Which is probably because the story mode was secondary to the online mode in the eyes of R*

[sprinterboy]

I don't play GTA anymore, but it was always about just dicking about in a world with friends blowing shit up and doing random shit.
It was never about the story really for me anyway.

[RosweeSon]

It will have an effect for sure but he was no one man band the game is a massive collaboration not to mention they’ve been making this game easy for a couple of years now planning locations taking their photos etc and scanning it all in, all the while a vast majority of the story could have been written and finished and left as his last gift for the company 😜🤞🏻
29299;✌🏻

[meganick]

Benioff and Weiss inbound to ruin it.

[ilikestuff]

They broke my heart, I will never forgive them for what they did. I am in no way a writer and I feel like I could’ve ended that show better then they did

[Knightofelemia]

You still have Michael Unsworth and Rupert Humpheries who also worked with Dan Houser on RDR 2 I am sure they could probably whip up an in depth story for GTA 6 they did great on RDR2.

[ElementsUnknown]

Here’s hoping that also means I will like the protagonist in GTA as much as in RDR. The characters in GTA are such dirtbags compared to Arthur/John (who are trying to redeem themselves and care about others.)

[KwietStorm_BLM]

For my own sake, I'm just going to go ahead and assume the majority of the story and writing were already laid out.

[RosweeSon]

Would make sense the story is generally made or at least a vast portion of it before going into production it helps to know what is going on when making a game 🤷🏻‍♂️😜 ✌🏻😂

[AK91]

More focus on Grand Theft Auto Online.

[dennigo]

if the story for gta6 isn't finished by now we're in deep shit

[jairusmonillas]

Most people played GTA not for the story. lol

[Blackcanary]

Doesn't mean anything they will just find a new writer who is just as good.

[smolinsk]

Red dead redemption 2 story was also not great, that mega irritating Dutch character was killing the game for me... The same over and over again everytime they moved to a new location...

[Artemidorus]

It means rockstar are going to try and attempt to drain people's wallets and purses.

[RosweeSon]

Like they did with all those years of FREE content updates they only just updated it again the other day... for FREE. Now compare GTA free updates to the dlc for the sims 4. Case closed.

[Artemidorus]

Smokes and mirrors for you, much of their content also charged people for a quick way of gaining content or grind to death to get a small amount.

[RosweeSon]

Artemidoris: No none of their content charged for anything as it was all Free! Yes you can buy shark cards but the actual content itself is free. Yes you need to buy bits to use it but the games been out for years now if you haven’t earned some money in game or been around when rockstar are giving out 500,000/ 1,000,000 for free bad times, no money needs to be spent to play GTA online and all the post launch content is FREE. That’s not spin that’s a fact.

[NotanotherReboot]

Maybe hire a trans writer? It would be epic if GTA VI starred a trans character

[SpinalRemains138]

If people enjoy the GTA script that's fine of course. However, 90% of players do not care and they want to destroy everything and drive around in a kill-crazy rampage.

[FRA85]

Worlds a little to woke for GTA these days. Most just wouldn't get that's satirical.

[Lilrizky]

It means the GTA VI story was probably already written

[Bullas1602]

With Dan Leaving is a big news how they survive this will be huge for rockstar.And writer's with Mr.boss (FTW) plus other's who put out info when they ready do this announcement of GTA 6 just like everyone else l am also waiting.
