Console port plz

[XbladeTeddy]

No

[svTobiasZen]

looks solid

[Profchaos]

Wow that's impressive.

[RitaYippeo]

Awesome

[Eonjay]

Has anyone heard of 'Everywhere' platform before? Is it like a launcher or storefront? It is described as a multiverse. That isn't helpful and only leaves me more confused lol. Mindseye looks great though.

[Profchaos]

No clue could be a game series type deal I doubt it's a platform in and of itself as it says everywhere is coming to more platforms after PC so no way they mean mobile given that level of fidelity

[senorfartcushion]

It’s a game from the old Rockstar head but it’s spoken of like it’s a platform. So the base game will essentially be a giant, interactive menu.

It sounds like Dreams but you don’t make the games, someone else does.

It’s sounds plausible for a platform but the turnover, especially in this day and age, sounds like it could be a developer’s nightmare.

I could be wrong but here's how I've interpreted it. Everywhere is like a metaverse hub-world, likely in the vein of GTA. It'll have multiple games attached to it, with MindsEye being the first "campaign". Think of something like Roblox, or maybe PS Home. You can socialize with other players, probably play mini games, etc. But you can actually seamlessly enter into AAA games within that world/platform.

It's the first and only metaverse project that actually sounds interesting, and seems like they know what they're doing. Leslie Benzies is behind it. He was the producer of the GTA series, so he knows a thing or two about making games.

[Demetrius]

Everywhere is an online title tho 😫😫👎 why OG rockstar dev why leave ya hangin for online only 😫 might be good tho idk

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

Is this why gta6 is taking so long?

Because the OGs broke up?

[YodaCracker]

No, Leslie left Rockstar in 2016.

[Profchaos]

The ogs broke up long ago dan Houser left after rdr2 around 2020 sounds like he was bored and didn't like the direction the industry was going and that was the most recent.
Leslie was fired around 2014 some scummy thing about royalties not getting paid allegedly.

The ofcourse you've got david Jones who left to build apb the less said the better.

So yeah Rockstar of the early 00s is long gone and I doubt it's coming back Leslie and dan seemed to have the biggest impact I've honestly not heard much about Sam's role in Rockstar but I believe he's the last one there.

I'm also sure there's hundreds of talented devs and artists who stuck it out but given the studios penchant for crunch I'd assume a large portion would move on

[chicken_in_the_corn]

GTA6 is taking as long as it is because Rockstar had all of their studios working on RDR2

[senorfartcushion]

Not sure how this is going to go. If there’s one thing that gaming hates it’s this kind of game. “Everywhere, be everything” you can’t in gaming. You can be anything but in different games. Is Everywhere just an interactive menu? If so, I can see it, but only to what the engine will produce. Fortnight could have been anything too but they didn’t try to add anything more than Battle Royale and events.

[gleepot]

looks like a ps2 game
