Its a trick question because the developer doesn't have to earn our trust here. Its the publisher and even then its futile because you aren't supposed to 'trust' large corporations. Ever. So, if they make a good game, acknolwedge it. The end.
Obviously release GTA VI, and have it be a great game. But also, up until GTA V Rockstar released at least 1 game every year. They need to step it up and get back on track.
And don't just focus on GTA and Red Dead. Bring back Midnight Club, Manhunt, Bully, or even just make some new IP. With how many full studios and devs Rockstar have their output is unacceptable.
But what they're doing is clearly working financially for them, so the shareholders won't care. To them it's a case of why focus on a few games when they can just create one masterpiece and milk it for a decade.
It’s becoming that way for a lot of game developers and it’s really unfortunate. Standards and expenses have increased tremendously. Gaming and technology in general have moved forward at a very fast rate. It’s crazy to think that this Earth is as old as it is and technology has only recently advanced in a VERY short time frame.
To those who disagree, I'm not sure why, but remember that Mafia: Definitive Edition was released at $40 and that's exactly where we should be aiming with remasters in this day and age. Anything below that from a company like R* seems not enough, IMHO. They have the money, they will get the sales, their fans deserve better.
Scrap the Trilogy and start over from scratch. Announce single player DLC for GTAV, Announce single player DLC for RDR2, then announce GTAVI, with planned single player DLC. They have f^ked up far too much for anything less to redeem them.
Nothing. To me they are still the best studio out there. They've brought out a bad remaster, other than that, every game they've made has been amazing. And yeah it sucks that they concentrate on online but I know that GTA VI will be awesome.
Release other titles besides GTA quit over milking of GTA V I mean the game is from 2013 we should have GTA 6 by now. Fans keep screaming for Bully 2 but Rockstar is not listening RDR2 I actually enjoyed besides LA Noire. I remember when Rockstar were pumping out other titles besides GTA but that seems to be their key focus is GTA. The trilogy is a complete mess GTA V is being ported yet again to new gen systems you can only milk a cow so much before it dries up. I'll just wait for 2K to make games I am more interesting in the new Tiny Tina game over GTA V for PS5.
GTAVI with good single player expansions as post content support not just online shit
Remake each GTA game separately with time and love going into it along with paying for music licences, lets not be tight with money when you are worth millions. Either that or just pay the best modders out there to use their stuff as a basis.
Bully 2
Max Payne 4, either sell it back to Remedy or do it like a proper Max Payne game. I'd like to see Mona return rather than them going off the ending where she died like Max Payne 3 referenced. They could have Max Payne 3 take place in a world where Mona died and have Max Payne 4 set in a world where she survived.
Red Dead Redemption Remaster but adding in more dialogue / plot points that reference the second game, it's the only issue I have with prequels, you have a character like Arthur Morgan and they showed us a story about what he did for John yet they never mentioned him or any other things during the first Red Dead Redemption because they obviously couldn't since they did the prequel as the second game.
Gta6 , gtav story dlcs, agent , bully 2 , max payne sequel , being in the community and not behind the scenes as usual, people leak stuff , some bad some good but that's normal, not a big deal, at least they show info updates continuously and that's what matters to keep them alive.
They can't do anything at the moment. Their next game obviously isn't finished and they don't have the resources for more remasters which is why they outsourced the remasters.
Also the expectations here are incredibly unrealistic
Start by not DMCA-ing modders that have been working on these games out of love and appreciation for years, put in the money and time that should've been put into the remasters to further improve them to the state they should've been released in, remaster the PSP and DS games. New realistically budgeted Story's GTA before GTA VI.
I don't wanna see them give out fake currency for GTA ONLINE as an apology. R* spends YEARS to make sure horse testicles react accordingly to cold weather, let's you know just how half assed these remasters were
They haven't put a foot wrong with their major (increasingly rare) releases, but I fear that may have changed. My fear is that MP has just become their main focus, and quality will not continue at the level they have sustained.
Release more than maybe two games a decade? Revive old franchises, or create new ones? Stop treating shark cards as your sole income. Don't outsource remasters of your classics to trash developers?
Actually do something. They had the chance to make a beloved trilogy of games current again and instead they chose to take a cheap cash grab and tarnish their reputation by releasing awful versions of their classic games. Look at games like the Crash Trilogy with the same level/area layouts as the originals. And it was half the price nearly 😂. You'd think with pretty much the biggest budgets in gaming they could do at least half of that.
It's really that simple. Even if it takes to them another 10 years and we complain and hate the whole time. We're fickle. Release GTA VI. If it's amazing all will be forgiven.
They probably outsourced this to some awful company to save money. After GTA V, RDR2, and Table Tennis, I have no doubts that GTA VI will be awesome in a few years.
irrelevant topic. If GTA6 got announced tomorrow, they'd get huge profits, regardless of the trilogy flop. This didn't make an as big of an outrage like CP77 did
release gta6, red dead 3, bully 2 and bloody agent. is it really rockstars fault surely this is a supply and demand issue. STOP BUYING GTA5 and sharkcards and GTA5 goes away
Maybe they could update red dead redemption 2 to 4k and 60fps on ps5 and series x but they probably wanna milk the update and call it a remaster. And it will take so long the game is gonna be unrelevant by then. Its the most recent game they made and its over 2 years old and they wont do a simple next gen upgrade like many major games got for free. So sad i couldnt play the blurry mess on ps4 pro jet engine and they wont do updates.
They probably realese gta 6 at the end of ps5 and series x lifespan and milk it until ps7/8 comes out. Rockstar has become arrogant easy money from gta v online no care for the players.
Release a good game 🤷♂️
Obviously release GTA VI, and have it be a great game. But also, up until GTA V Rockstar released at least 1 game every year. They need to step it up and get back on track.
And don't just focus on GTA and Red Dead. Bring back Midnight Club, Manhunt, Bully, or even just make some new IP. With how many full studios and devs Rockstar have their output is unacceptable.
The old R* are gone, They became victims of their own success.
Just a screenshot of GTA VI will be enough for the masses to go crazy
Remaster the remasters out of their own pockets.
Remaster RDR game without messing it up.
Put out a new game that is in line with GTAV and RDR2.
Then the player base will at least not feel cheated or unheard.
Edit: the epitome of laziness in these remasters https://www.reddit.com/r/GT...
