GTA 6: Ex-Developer Hints at Groundbreaking Realism
In a recent interview with GTAVIoclock, former Rockstar Games developer Ben Hinchliffe, a contributor to several Rockstar titles including GTA 6, GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and L.A. Noire, shared his perspective on the upcoming game. While remaining tight-lipped about specifics, he emphasized the significant advancements in realism and the overall evolution of the game's design.
Hinchliffe noted observing the game's development from its inception to its near-completion, highlighting the considerable changes and refinements made. He expressed confidence in the final product, anticipating a positive reception from players.

However, Hinchliffe confirmed that GTA 6 represents a significant leap forward for Rockstar, raising the bar for the series in terms of realism and gameplay. He attributed this advancement to Rockstar's consistent evolution of game mechanics and character behavior across their titles.
Hinchliffe suggests that the current development phase likely involves extensive bug fixing and performance optimization. He confidently predicts a massive sales success and an overwhelmingly positive fan reaction due to the unprecedented level of realism achieved. He anticipates that the game's realism will leave players astounded. "It will blow people away," he stated. "It will sell an absolute ton."
