Obbe Vermeij, former technical director of R-Star, said in a recent interview with YouTube channel SanInPlay that fans may need to lower their expectations for GTA6, and said that due to limited hardware upgrades, GTA6 may not be much of a breakthrough compared to its predecessors in the series.
"I don't think it's going to be very different [GTA6] from its predecessor, and I think people might be a little disappointed when they start it...... But it will still be the best game. ”
Vermeij then stated that he had no inside information from R-star, and that his opinion came from the development of hardware: "It would be difficult to make the same progress again [as in earlier works] because technology is much slower these days. It's like there's a huge gap between PS1 and PS2, and the change from PS4 to PS5 isn't that big. So you don't have that real tech span to make something different and better. ”
"I don't know. Maybe they'll succeed, maybe the game will be great, but I think some people's expectations might be a little too high. The progress from GTA2 to GTA3 is huge, and the progress from San Andreas to GTA4 is also significant. I think it's hard for us to see that much progress again. ”
