Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick AI can help mundane tasks in creating games but human creativity will always be needed.
Well there’s a saying about 100 monkeys with typewriters in a room, give it a few years and you’ll see the miracles that can be done with 100 Ai in a server 🤣
Great interview from a humbly powerful man! I’m sad he didn’t speak about RDR at anytime, it’s like it’s not big enough for them
Bit of a stretch to say "human creativity" will always be needed, key word being always. Sure it makes a big difference right now, if you just let it do whatever with little/no effort you end up with lazily put together slop..
It's still early days, but tools to help develop games quicker is obviously a good thing.
Rockstar has acquired Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition developer Video Games Deluxe and renamed it Rockstar Australia.
Seeing that he's reassociated himself with R*, it would be nice to see a follow-up to L.A. Noire.
I doubt it will happen. Rockstar Australia will probably be developing Rockstar's next game, with the rest of Rockstar's studios.
Hey Alan Wake II showed it might be many years but sequels are always possible! NY Noire? 🤔
He really shouldn't be guy is scum I wonder if he still runs it like a boys club if your not from the UK your on the outside and disposable meanwhile bashing Aussies and breaking our labour laws what he did during the development of LA noire is extremely illegal here and he got lucky he was able to intimidate his staff into not reporting it
Sounds bad
I am not familiar with the incident, so i honestly do not know.
But… if whatever he did was not reported, then where did this information come from?
@goken
This is a great video that explains everything that went wrong with la noire Rockstar and team Bondi during la noires development

Probably the most baffling acquisition ive ever seen, they absolutely screwed up something that should've been so simple, and then took so long to fix it that R* themselves fixed it for them and took their studio name off the splash screen......and so they acquired them?
Keep the talent that is familiar with your engine(s), get rid of the bad management.
It's literally in the article:
"It’s not to be confused with Grove Street Games, which came under fire for the poor quality of the original Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in 2021"
Yeah, these are the people that Rockstar brought into to fix the trilogy not Grove Street Games who originally made it and messed it up!
I don’t get it
I’d rather they forget this game happened and tried again a few years later when next gen rolls around with some proper remasters
Maybe actually spend some money to renew the music licenses for the songs they removed
This isn't Grove St games it's the team that fixed Grove St games mess in the recent Netflix Android and iOS versions and ported the improvements to the console recently.
Game is significantly overhauled today as a result.
True it's an improvement but they did have to work with what they had and that was a ultra janky port of a mobile game thrown together by like 4 people per game.
Seriously in the old version after completing vice city I saw Grove St employees were listed and there was only 4 people in it there's bigger teams out there working on homebrew games.
Rockstar saw the absolute botch of the Definitive Edition of their most beloved games as a personal insult and decided to destroy the studio responsible and renamed it entirely. Probably fired a bunch of people too. Its Rockstar's legacy they tarnished so I would be absolutely furious if I was an executive over there
"“During the fiscal second quarter, we delivered record Non-GAAP results driven by the unprecedented success of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. “The title received stellar reviews, shattered entertainment industry records, and has already sold-in nearly 29 million units to date. The extraordinary success of Grand Theft Auto V illustrates the positive momentum in our business and consumers’ enduring appetite for the highest-quality interactive entertainment."
That's damn crazy for real.
And people said Take Two was broke and there was no way they could buy their way back into to the nfl license (not exclusive just being able to make an nfl game again), i think they're just patiently waiting to see if EA doesn't renew the license or if nothing has happened by march/april next year and that's when they'll pull the trigger and make their move.....not to mention they already have their new game engine eco-motion (i think that's what its called) in place for next gen which NBA2K14 is built from.
