Ja, til trods for at Rockstar endnu ikke formelt har anerkendt at de faktisk arbejder på et nyt GTA-spil, så har rygterne svirret om spillet i noget tid. Det som alle rapporterne tilsyneladende har til fælles er at projektet hedder "Project Americas", og at der er adskillige storbyer at udforske i denne omgang.
Dog ankommer her en rapport der virker en del mere troværdig end de forrige, for her fremgår det at der kun er én hovedperson, at spillet foregår i 70'erne og 80'erne, og at du ikke både kan udforske Vice City og Liberty City.
Rygtet er dukket op via ResetEra, og her påstår forfatteren at kende folk med kendskab til projektet. Tag det naturligvis med et gran salt, men interessant lyder det nu alligevel.
Vi har tilladt os at indsætte samtlige detaljer.
"The next GTA title has been in development since 2012 (1 year before GTA 5 launched). Production didn't actually pick up properly until mid 2015. Even then it was on ice while the teams focused on RDR2.
It's another Rockstar Worldwide Production, not just one or two studios, but all.
Codename is PROJECT AMERICAS.
Set in both Vice City and a new fictional location based on Rio de Janeiro, with some linear missions taking place in Liberty City (not open world), think Ludendorff in GTAV. Also been recently hearing about Cuba but I ain't sure?
Game will balance realism and arcade. WON'T be as realistic as RDR2.
One playable protagonist this time. Male, not female, despite supposed leaks.
Set in 1970s-1980s.
You play as an up and coming drug lord-wannabe named "Ricardo". Another key character called "Kacey" is a part of the narrative. You start off as a grunt doing runs as a cocaine smuggler from Vice City to the new large South American area before making connections with big time drug lords and making your way up. Multiple cities. There will also be a GIANT prison which will play a part in the game.
Will feature a "CHAPTER" system similar to a Tarantino flick or RDR2.
Weather is a heavy focus. Hurricanes, floods, etc.
Buildings change over the eras, vehicles too. This causes headaches apparently but they managed to nail a pipeline and get it working. So older, rare classic cars get more expensive as time progresses etc. Full economy. Next level.
HEAVILY inspired by Netflix's Narcos.
They want to have an incredible 70s/80s soundtrack, but jury is still out on that one.
A younger Martin Madrazo will make an appearance as will his father who is a big drug lord at the time. You do some missions for the Madrazo family involving hits on other gangs.
Drug empire building is a mechanic similar to Vice City Stories but bigger. MUCH bigger. Think the GTAOnline system and dial it up to 10. There you have it.
You can only have weapons on your person. No arsenal in your back pocket. Think RDR2 and Max Payne 3.
Your personal vehicle (similar to GTA5 but can now change it) will be like your horse saddle in RDR2. All your equipment is stored in the trunk. Similar to LA Noire. You also store your body armour in the car. If you wear it, it appears, no longer just an invisible thing lol.
There will be tons of subtitle reading. Think Max Payne 3 amounts. Because the characters speak the language they're native to. Very immersive. Like watching an episode of Narcos. Whenever you're in South America, don't expect to hear much English. Vice City however is a mix of everything. Mostly English though."
Ja, det er lidt af en mundfuld. Til sidst slår forfatteren fast at spillet kun kommer til den næste generation af konsoller, og at spillet nu er i fuld produktion. Desuden er der ingen udgivelsesdato lige nu.
Det skal dog siges her på faldrebet at der er opstået en diskussion ovre på Reddit omkring den pågældende medarbejders kredibilitet, så tag dette med et gran salt. Dog siger andre insidere at meget af den pågældende information er baseret på korrekte "leaks".
