‘We Are Nervous!’ — Rockstar Knows the Pressure on GTA 6 to Be a Success
It feels like the whole world is waiting to play GTA 6. And Rockstar knows it.
Ahead of the extended look that just debuted on Netflix, IGN had the chance to visit the developer and talk with Rob Nelson, co-studio head at Rockstar North. Upon us mentioning just how each new Grand Theft Auto feels like a global cultural moment, he replies with a laugh, “No pressure.”
“I try not to think about it,” Nelson continues. “You’re aware of it, of course. But I think we just have to try and make something that we feel is innovating on what we’ve done previously, evolving it while still making it feel familiar.”
Rockstar knows that each and every scrap of information revealed about GTA 6 is analysed with a fine-tooth comb, and this recent extended look is certainly no different, as we’re given our biggest insight yet into the world, characters, and gameplay of this revisit to Vice City. It means each frame needs to be perfect, with every detail bound to be made into a list feature revealing new secrets about the game — exactly something we’ll be doing ourselves.
