Will GTA 6 live up to the hype? (lemm.ee)

With how disappointing the latest sequels of famous franchises had been during this first half of the 2020s (except resident evil, yay) I expect GTA to fall a bit short as well...

Like, it's going to be a good game but it won't blew anyone away. Also probably is going to be the buggiest GTA at launch. That's the trend in big games now.

the devs given any reason to doubt them

I agree that it's super early for much speculation, but Dan Houser and a few other key players left Rockstar after RDR2. He and Michael Unsworth (who I think also left the studio with Dan) were two-thirds of the GTA 5 and RDR2 writing team. Without their involvement, I fear a scenario where the core single-player narrative has less gravitas, around which much of the detail and realism of the gameplay and game world has previously resolved, and the company leans more into the success of its GTA Online style gameplay.

I'm sure they can still be wildly successful with that formula, but it will be a huge disappointment for me personally.

I think they both still worked on gta 6 though. It’ll probably take until red dead 3 or gta 7 before we really see the impact of them leaving.

That'd be great if it was true but there have been rumors that development largely reset when they left. Guess we'll have to wait until they release credits to know for sure.
